ONGOING EVENT THEME OR WHATEVER

[anangryinch]

[When you wake up this morning, the mansion looks considerably... spookier.

The walls seem creakier. The wallapaper's peeling. Spiderwebs and an inch of dust coat everything. It looks like nobody's been here in ages, and the shadows are very dark and deep.

There's a chill in the air and a sense that something's watching you.

I...I dunno.

I heard some guy talking to himself behind me, and I was about to turn around, but then I was on the floor, and then...

[He goes silent for a second.]

He grabbed my. uh. my head. And put it in the desk. I didn't see his face.

[straightandnarrow]

...

You. Should be dead.

[He swallows hard and tries to retain whatever dignity and composure he can muster.]

Y-you shouldn't even be able to talk!!

[He puts the drawer on a table, yanking his hands back like Yukio's going to get head cooties on them.]

[masokaiser]

Am I about to start attacking you against my will, then?

Not that I could do it like this.

[waves his hand through a lamp |( ]

[likesbigdecks]

...Yeah. Yeah, I should probably be dead at this point. But I'm not. And I can talk.

[He almost reminds himself to take deep breaths, except...well. What good is that going to do when he's not connected to his lungs?]

And...

[He stops for a second.]

...I can still sorta...feel my hands.

[anangryinch]

[She stops feigning and really does take a wide step back when he moves his hand.]

You know who you're speaking to, right? Spirits don't do physical damage.

[nerf_rogues]

[he's wandering around the graveyard outside :O probably looking for thistle, but also, graveyards are cool and he hasn't seen one here before]

[i am v. possessable and it's extremely comfy inside me according to thistle]

[masokaiser]

What, you think I'll possess you?

I don't even know how.

[He's clearly more than a little put-out with this.]

[anangryinch]

Tchhhh.

You're visible to me. You must have more power than you realize.

[well obviously all ghosts go by her rules right]

[masokaiser]

[well she's probably right even if what clued her in is wrong...]

Visible as a cheap carnival attraction.

[He gives another tug at the spike.]

I can't even get this out.

[straightandnarrow]

...Feel your hands?

[He dares to glance back the... head... GOD I NEVER WANTED HEAD FROM U YUKIO]

How. Do you mean?

[if you ever get your body back you can totally bully him about how pallid and nervous he looks right now]

[anangryinch]

Hah.

Is that how you managed to off yourself?

[She's still giving him a wide berth.]

A spirit normally requires a host to so much as see the world.

[likesbigdecks]

[YEAH U WERE NEVER GONNA GET HEAD FROM ME ANYWAY probably

He's a little concerned about how sick Justice looks, but then he looks down contemplatively, trying to focus on the faint sensations.]

...like...I can't move them, but I can tell they're...touching my sides, I think?

And...I'm definitely moving. Dragging across the ground or something. And there's something sharp poking my shoulder.

[masokaiser]

I didn't do this. I didn't even see whoever did it.

[oh so THAT'S why he's such a grump about it]

...do we really.

[closetohell]

*pressed to a wall, breathing quickly... looking every part the innocent victim.

don't you just want to HELP and PROTECT her from her mean slasher brother :( *

[straightandnarrow]

Someone's... dragging the rest of you?

So

[something DINGS in his head about what Yukio said earlier]

There's a murderer around?!

[anangryinch]

That was my experience.

That, or be the victim of something truly occult.

[She snrks slightly. you're no one to talk, thistle, you turned into goddamn sand when you died]

I suspect it's just this place at work, then.

[but i'm going to stay away from you anyway]

[neospaceheroine]

*is it still cool if there's Mysterious Rustling(tm) somewhere around u... whatever could it be...*

[nerf_rogues]

[yes i'm used to being possessed by tiny women]

...?

Is somebody there?

[He hugs himself and stands upright from the gravestone he was examining.]

[likesbigdecks]

...

...

.......yes.

[why do YOU look so nervous, Yukio, you're just a head]

...what is he gonna do with the rest of me?! What if he comes back for you?!

[closetoheaven]

I brought someone for you...

[He's pacing around the area, peering into different halls, scraping the bloodied machete against the wall on occasion.]

Don't you want to see...?

[masokaiser]

I see.

Hopefully I'm not stuck this way.

[He thinks for a moment, leaning back on...nothing, in midair.]

...how do you possess someone?

[straightandnarrow]

I don't know!

[i don't know if the gxgxers ever got into the LIFE ENDANGERING SHIT their parents got into constantly, but either way he picks the drawer back up and starts looking for someplace to hide.]

Did he just have a. A knife or something?!

[god i hope justice doesn't stumble upon the SCENE OF THE CRIME]

[anangryinch]

[Her eyes narrow.]

I'm not about to tell you.

It requires more finesse and willpower than a mere amateur would possess.

[punny]

[likesbigdecks]

[i feel like if they haven't gotten into life endangering shit yet they will before they graduate]

It'd have to be pretty big to cut that deep...

Is your room still here? Does it lock?

[I CAN'T HELP YOU I'M SORRY I AM ONLY A HEAD]

[masokaiser]

[thistle. don't do that.]

...Does it.

[SIZING HER UP]
