[Much like everywhere else in the city, Tisse's local arcade is taking advantage of the season to make some cold hard cash. There're decorations up around the inside of the building, ranging from the occasional fake skeleton chained to the wall, a large realistic spider prop that takes up a corner of the ceiling complete with an intricately designed web out of that spray web in a can and the best part (in the owner's opinion, definitely not hers), a life size witch statue that springs to life when you walk past it, with flashing red eyes and one of three spooky catchphrases that definitely hasn't gone off so much today she wants to snap it in half.
The main pull of the season is a new game, which is not only exclusively available until November 1st (the large, eye catching halloween sign in the window making it clear and emphasizing that you should "play it while you can!") but there're also only three or four cabinets available for it. The line for each one is evident the moment you walk in, with some people even wearing full halloween costumes despite it being far too soon for that. The only explanation you might get is from a nearby group of people leaving as you enter, mumbling about how they should go buy fake horns or a cheap mask and come back later.
Everyone's favourite arcade clerk is even in full costume herself, complete with pale, grey skin, fake horns and red contact lenses...of course, she isn't looking nearly as enthusiastic. Once you approach the counter, without even looking away from her phone, she just says--]
If this is about the game, you need a full costume. You can't just wear an eyepatch or fake horns.

[So, ghosts. That's a thing.
As it stands, Aki's in hot pursuit of one that's playfully fleeing from her, holding what appears to be a key in its hand. She doesn't share its enthusiasm though, looking (and sounding) pissed off as she runs after it.]
You're gonna wish you were in hell once I'm through with you, you ghost bastard!

[She abandoned the chocobos the moment things got weird. She wasn't actually there for the hayride or anything; Aki doesn't need any excuse to go hang around chocobos. But as the fog gets heavier and starts playing tricks on her by manifesting the one thing she doesn't wanna see right now, she bolts.

Move it or lose it!
[And of course, with the fog setting in, maybe what was chasing her is now your worst nightmare, and it's catching up. You might not wanna hang around.]

[She ducks into the nearest building; it could be your workplace, or if you're someone she knows, she might even slip into your house or apartment.
Point is she's here and she ain't leaving.]
Retrospec's behind this fog, isn't it?
