STANLEY HOTEL 12:00 AM
Challenge #10 - Fright Night
"Happy Halloween players! This is the perfect time for the next challenge: "Fright Night." You're probably wondering why I haven't called lock down yet. Well, it's about to happen. Once you get inside your room, you will find a metal virtual reality headset. You have to put them on, and keep them on until seven in the morning. For every player that is successful, I will add $5,000 to the group pot."
There's got to be more to this challenge. It can't be that easy. - Fredrick
I'm not scared of anything Halloween related, so bring it on. - Apollo
The players are correct about something being on the headset. What they don't know is that for the next seven hours, they will be facing their worst fears. Of course they don't have to go the whole seven hours, they can just use the safe word to exit out of the virtual reality. The safe word is: Halloween.
APOLLO
He is seen walking through a forest. Everything is fine, until he smelled smoke in the distance. He turned around, and ran when he saw a forest fire chasing him.
I almost died in a fire when I was little. My father died while trying to save me. It was so scary seeing my father engulfed in flames. - Apollo
FREDRICK
Fredrick is seen tied up in a dark warehouse. He tried to escape, but is held down and beat by several hooded figures.
"Trying to escape are you? Well, that's not happening."
"What do you want from me?"
"What do we want? Revenge."
"What did I ever do to you?"
"You took us to jail, Officer Lewary."
"Who are you?'
"It doesn't matter who I am. All that matters is we're finally going to get our revenge."
"By torturing me?"
"Correct, but there's more."
"What do you mean?"
"Bring the bitches in boys."
Two of the hooded figures went to the next room. They brought out a woman, and a teenager.
"FREDDY!"
"SUMIA! CYNTHIA!"
"DADDY!"
"DON'T YOU DARE MY-" Fredrick started to yell before being kicked again
"Strip them."
Fredrick watched in horror as the hooded figures started taking off the female's clothes, then their own.
"HALLOWEEN!"
FREDRICK OUT 12:05 AM
No money would convince me to watch my family get raped. - Fredrick
IKE
Ike is seen in the desert with several others in military uniform.
"Sergeant Greil? Where is the next land mine?"
"Three o' clock."
"Where do I need to advance too?"
"Twelve o' clock."
"Yes sir!"
BOOM
"What happened?"
"You told us six o' clock sir."
"When did I say that, soldier?"
"Fifteen minutes ago."
"NO! I SAID SEVEN O-"
BOOM
"The enemy's advancing, sir!"
"Where to?"
"Kabul!"
"NO! MY FIGHTERS SHOULD BE STATIONED OUTSIDE THE CITY!"
"They're all inside, sir."
I'm extremely terrified of letting people down. In my virtual reality I kept giving bad directions, so we would lose battle soon. - Ike
LARRY
Larry is seen in downtown New York.
"Hey baby. If I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put U and I together."
"And if I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put F and U together."
"Is your name WiFi? Because I'm really feeling a connection."
"No. My name's Ura. Ura Fag."
"What? I'm straight."
"Really?"
"Yes. I like girls"
"Look down."
"OH MY GOD! I'M SO SORRY!"
"Try that girl over there."
"Twinkle twinkle little star, let's have some fun inside my car."
"Up above the world so high, I hope you fall back down, break your neck, and die."
"I'm out. Halloween."
LARRY OUT 12:09 AM
I have a huge fear of rejection. I'm scared I'll miss out on the one that I can settle down with. - Larry
LUCINA
Lucina is seen studying in her dorm room, until she started screaming when she saw her entire floor covered in cockroaches.
"NO! NO! ANYTHING BUT COCKROACHES!"
There's nothing more disgusting than a cockroach. I think I'll be able to last all seven hours, as long as they're not able to crawl on my skin. - Lucina
MAYA
Maya is seen in prison, walking with an officer.
"Welcome to your new home, Ms. Fey."
"I didn't kill him."
"That's not what the judge said."
Nick saved me from death row so many times, but it's still scary to know I would've ended up here. - Maya
"I can't be isolated like this! Please! Let me out!"
"We'll let you out on your execution date!"
MICIAH
Miciah is seen in the hospital. She is seen grabbing a tongue depressor, but stopped when she saw millions of spiders flood her room.
How are you supposed to know which spiders are poisonous, or not? One little bite can end your life, so spiders are my worst fear. - Miciah
MILES
Miles is seen in an elevator, but it suddenly came to a screeching halt. He tried pressing a button, but fell backwards as the ground started to shake.
"EARTHQUAKE!" he cried while huddling into a fatal position
I've always hated earthquakes, especially when stuck in an elevator. When I was a kid, my father died in this scenario. - Miles
OBORO
Oboro is seen answering her front door.
"Package for Oboro Valla."
"That's me! Thank you!"
She brought the package into her room, and quickly opened it. She was mortified when she saw mice jump out.
I don't like mice at all. They look cute, but you don't know where they've been. - Oboro
PHOENIX
Phoenix is seen at the California DMV.
"Are you Phoenix Wright?"
"Yes. Why?"
"Cause today's your driving test."
"What?"
"You signed up for today!"
"No I didn't."
"Well, you're going anyway."
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"OK. What's the first thing you do?"
I'm absolutely terrified of driving. I've failed my test I don't know how many times due to panic attacks. I can't help myself when I sit in front of a steering wheel. - Phoenix
SIMON
Simon is seen strapped down in a chair, surrounded by several doctors.
"Any last words?"
"What are you doing? Why am I strapped down to this chair?"
"Last words have been spoken. Insert the first needle."
"Wait WHAT?!"
I've never been able to stand needles, they're so little and pointy. - Simon
TRUCY
Trucy is seen on stage performing, until a dozen snakes started to slither up to her.
"Halloween."
TRUCY OUT 12:03 AM
I hate snakes with a passion. They could bite you, and you'll be dead in minutes. - Trucy
The nine remaining players have survived the first hour. After each hour, their fear is going to progressively get more intense.
APOLLO
HE is still running from the fire, but then starts to duck as sees several fireballs coming towards his face.
IKE
"Sergeant! Rebels are coming in from the west!"
"What?"
"They figured out our initial strategy, and are countering with ground and air troops."
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
"I can't take this anymore! Halloween!"
IKE OUT 1:12 AM
I've never had a battle go this wrong before. It was just too much for me to handle. - Ike
LUCINA
The cockroaches started crawling up her bed, but Lucina countered by pushing them off with her books.
"Is this the best you can do cockroaches?"
I was terrified for a few minutes, but then I remembered I had something to defend myself with. - Lucina
MAYA
"Welcome to your new home. You'll be sharing a cell with Fey."
"Wait WHAT?" Maya screamed
"What are you here for?" her new roommate asked
"Um murder. You?"
"Rape."
"HALLOWEEN!"
MAYA OUT 1:19 AM
MICIAH
Miciah is seen trying to swat away the spiders, but starts to panic more when spiders start falling from the ceiling.
MILES
Miles stopped crying once the earthquake was over, but then it suddenly started again. Only this time, it went a number up on the Richter scale.
"WHY MEEEEEEEEEEE?" he screamed
This earthquake I felt got so much worse. I couldn't stand it much longer. - Miles
"That's it! Halloween!"
MILES OUT 1:42 AM
OBORO
Oboro was running away from the dozen mice catching her. She made it back to the living room, and shrieked when she saw a dozen more mice come out.
PHOENIX
"You're doing fine, Phoenix."
"Thank you. It's because there's no traffic around for some reason."
"Speaking of traffic, here it comes now!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" he yelled as he started to swerve
*HONK*
*HONK*
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? STAY ON THE ROAD!"
*HONK*
"I CAN'T!" he defended while crying
"STOP THE CAR!"
*HONK*
"HOW? WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF FREAKING INTERSECTION!"
*HONK*
"DO YOU WANT TO GET KILLED?"
"NO!"
*HONK*
"THEN STOP BEING A *BEEP* AND STOP THE CAR!"
"IF I DO, PEOPLE WILL RUN INTO US!"
*HONK*
"GET BACK ON THE ROAD!"
"I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS ANYMORE! HALLOWEEN!"
PHOENIX OUT 1:58 AM
My vision started to blur, cars were honking at me, and the instructor was yelling at me. I couldn't take it anymore. - Phoenix
SIMON
"Insert the second needle."
"No! Halloween!"
SIMON OUT 1:22 AM
I don't understand how anyone can like needles going into your skin. - Simon
Two hours have passed, and only Apollo, Lucina, Miciah, and Oboro remain.
APOLLO
More fireballs are coming towards him, and trees start to fall down blocking his path.
"You've got to be kidding me!"
LUCINA
Lucina continued to swat the cockroaches away, until her book disappeared.
"NOOOOOO! UH…..UH…..PILLOW!"
My father taught me if I don't have resources, I got to improvise. - Lucina
MICIAH
Miciah is flapping her arms to get the spiders away, but starts crying when all spiders in the ceiling were replaced with tarantulas.
"NO! NO! THAT'S TOO FAR! HALLOWEEN!"
MICIAH OUT 2:22 AM
OBORO
Oboro saw a dozen more mice come out. She tried to run away again, but the other areas of the house were blocked. She was forced to stay in the living room.
"I can't take this anymore! Halloween!"
OBORO OUT 2:10 AM
APOLLO
Apollo started to freak out as the fire started to spread faster. Eventually, he was only a few feet from touching the fire.
"Halloween."
APOLLO OUT 3:42 AM
I knew I wasn't going to be able to outrun the fire from four more hours, so I tapped out before I could feel a burning sensation. - Apollo
LUCINA
Lucina started to groan when her pillows and blankets were taken away.
There was nothing left on the bed to defend myself with. I knew I'd have to touch the cockroaches eventually, and I didn't want to do that. - Lucina
"I'm out. Halloween."
LUCINA OUT 3:43 AM
Four hours later…..
"I'm sorry, but no one lasted until seven. Therefore, no money has been added to the group pot. But Lucina, you lasted the longest. As a reward, you will get an exemption from the quiz tonight."
"YES!"
"SERIOUSLY?"
"UGH!"
"COME ON!"
"One more thing, since today is Halloween, we'll have a costume party tonight! Please dress up. If you don't have a costume, I'll provide you $100 to spend on it."
"What happens if we don't dress up?" Simon asked
"I'll penalize the pot $5,000 for each person that doesn't dress up, or use the $100 on something other than a costume. Does everyone understand?"
"YES!"
The players then went their separate ways to get ready for the Halloween party.
I'm so relieved that I have an exemption. This is truly the first time where I feel completely safe in this game. - Lucina
Lucina got the exemption because she lasted the longest. Knowing I was one minute away from getting it for myself is just frustrating. - Apollo
There was so much suspicious activity. How could everyone not last for more than four hours? - Maya
Some of the fears were just ridiculous. I'm looking at you, Larry. Who has the fear of rejection? - Fredrick
Everyone's complaining about some people being chickens, but I studied psychology. People have a fight or flight response, and most people have flight as a default response. I doubt anyone really screwed up, unless they said Halloween on purpose. - Simon
