COSTUME
A dark uniform you can tell is a costume: too many keys, a soft cap.

NIGHT 21 OF 31
The other half of yesterday’s game. Authority is a costume and it loses, on purpose.
A dark uniform you can tell is a costume: too many keys, a soft cap.
A whistle on a cord. A ring of keys that open nothing.
Checkpoint tables with stamps. The stamps say ‘out’.
The other half of yesterday’s game. Authority is a costume and it loses, on purpose.
The same tray, upgraded: soup added, as an apology.
Black tea. The whistle cannot be used while you are drinking, which is most of the night.
A drumroll that never lands on an arrest.
Stamp three people ‘out’ and then get stamped yourself.
The keys get hung on a post. No one is watching anyone.
Caps off. The tea is the best thing the uniform did.
OF THIS OCTOBER
Hattie stamps everyone immediately so the game can become supper. Of this October.
EVENTS
A FRAME, IF YOU WANT ONE
You in a soft dark cap with a whistle and a ring of keys, festival checkpoint, warm light, playful authority, no text.
STALL
Dark wool. Looks official until you see the fest stamp inside.
