A few vendors are selling tickets to a new style of event for All Saints' Wake, though when asked about the nature of the event, the details are often lacking. If you investigate further, some Doman contacts may reveal a 'Kimodameshi' to be a traditional Test of Courage: where pairs of two are set upon a designated trail of frights. The ticket looks as follows:

On the back of the ticket is a map, which indicates the following location:

In smaller print, at the bottom, it says: The 31st Sun of the 10th Moon, at the 15th Central Bell.

In lieu of our usual Host Club, Rendezvous will be scaring up a whole new type of event: a Kimodameshi, or Test of Courage!
Ticket purchasers will show up at the designated location on the back of their ticket, which marks the start of the path. [East Shroud (17, 25)] This is IC gil only, and no actual funds will be charged for this event!
Groups of two are encouraged, as that is the Kimodameshi tradition. Showing up alone is also fine, as it simply means you will be paired with the next individual person who arrives. If the group arrives and is larger than two, they'll be broken down into groups of two (with any 'odd men out' set aside for the next available individual.)
The pair will then follow a Guide along the designated path. OoCly, the guide will pause at certain intervals to allow emotes to happen (although ICly, it will be considered that the group is still walking.) We don't imagine that we'll actually succeed in scaring anyone OoCly, but the fun of it is determining if your character would be scared at what they're experiencing! Think of it like an outdoor haunted house.
Of course, we can't control the weather. For IC purposes, this event takes place at night, even if the weather changes several times over. *Passes out imagination hats*
Here are the more skeletal details:
Date: October 31st
Time: 3:00 PM CST / 4:00 PM EST
