Despite its lack of features, it radiates something like pleasure as horses choose, though it does seem slightly more pleased whenever the word ‘trick’ is uttered.
When everyone has answered, the creature waves something that seems like a shadowy hand and those that said trick all disappear. Poof. There’s smoke and sound and theatrics with it for the benefit of those still standing on the beach.
Those that asked for a trick will receive one, but oh, aren’t tricks <i>fun</i>? Each will find themselves in the place where they came from, or at least, it seems like that place. But it’s not really, because you can tell there is something wrong. There’s no life here except for you, or at least, it certainly seems that way. Everything is shadowy and subdued, as if the color had been stripped from the world. It feels like you will end up the same way if you stay too long...
For those who were slightly more boring and ask for a treat, a gift appears in front of each of them. The gifts vary in size and shape, but they are all clearly desirable, for who doesn’t want a gift? But the shadowy creature grins, if it can grin, and suddenly there is so much <i>space</i> between you and the gift that is supposedly yours. There is no one else around you now, but just you and the gift and chasm of space between. The night sky is dark, and you hear at least one sort of something that goes bump in the night…

You have received a trick or a treat, but actually it’s mostly just a trick because that’s more fun.
<b>If you picked trick:</b>
You have been sent back home...or have you? Figure out where you actually are (there’s a ‘right’ answer and a hint in the post, but it’s fine if you get it ‘wrong’) and how to return to the shadowy creature. You should encounter at least one thing that ‘goes bump in the night’.
<b>If you picked treat:</b>
You get a treat all right, but it’s very far away and you have to go get it. You should encounter at least one thing that ‘goes bump in the night’.
That’s it. That’s the entire prompt. Everything else is up to your imagination and there’s no wrong answer. Replies are due by <b>11:59 PM on Wednesday, November 11th. </b>
