You are standing by a tree
There are 3 paths.
One appears to go to a jungle,
one appears to go to a cave,
one appears to go to a beach,
you could try and climb the tree,
there is a nearby shop you could go in,
or you could do something else.
So what's its going to be?

In the shop
There is a table with a sign saying
<strong>Free Sample:</strong>
Take one
On the table there is a fridge with a range of liquids. Also on the table are various magical trinkets including costumes. What would you like to take, or would you like to buy something?

The monkey's paw... and face
Leaving the bigger packages aside, you find a piece of partly furry material lying on something on the table. As you pick it up and straighten it out you realize it's supposed to be a mask. A chimpanzee mask. And what it was lying out turns out to be a pair of black gnarly gloves. Both the mask and the gloves are made from the same soft pliable material that is almost like real skin.
You put down the mask, pick up the gloves and put them on. They are longer than they looked lying on the table, reaching halfway to your elbows. The weird thing is that even though the fingers look shorter than your own, they are still a perfect fit.
You turn your hands over and wiggle your fingers. They look just like chimpanzee hands. The gloves wrinkle just like real skin, it feels almost like you're not wearing anything at all. Weird.
You pick up the mask in both monkey hands, raise your head and shake your long hair back. Then you take a deep breath, close your eyes, put the mask on your face and pull it down.
It's a perfect fit. Just like the gloves, it feels like wearing nothing at all. Yet, when you open your eyes and look down at the mirror behind the table, there you are - a young man with a monkey's face and hands.
You blink, and the mask's eyelids move in perfect sync with your own. You wiggle your nose and grin sheepishly - again the mask's movements match those of our face. Or rather...
"Ook ook!" Wow, even your voice sounds different. You notice that the lower part of the mask is long enough to cover your larynx. "Ooooook!" Okay, enough monkey talk, try to say something sensible. "Eek ah ook!" What the...?
This is getting too weird. You try to take off the mask, but can't find a seam. Looking at your underarms, the gloves appear to have become one with your skin. There is a line where the fur ends and the colour changes, but the skin continues unbroken. You try tugging at the mask's ears, but they snap back giving you a slap on each ear, and when you try again it feels like you're pulling at you own ears. You notice that the room kind of sound and smells different from before too.
This is definitely no ordinary Halloween outfit!
