The Haunting II: Haunt Harder


ViViD has opened up a new world that new arrivals will be pulled into while frequent players will be invited to check out. This particular setting is the new beta world that CERES is constructing in time for the Hallow's Eve celebrations and festivals. It's a world inhabited by the undead and several ghouls and monsters of typical horror lore. Inside, one will encounter werewolves, lichens, vampires, succubi, incubi, specters, mummies, and so on. They will be on the prowl and eager to attack, but players need only concern themselves with getting through and getting out.

At first, players will awaken outside of a large manor supposedly owned by a wealthy noble who is rumored to be practicing strange alchemic experiments within. Many know him simply as The Count.

New arrivals and those logging into ViViD will first find themselves being greeted by their guide at the start screen:

//SCENARIOS.EXE
PHASE I
[ xx:xx ] Yes, those are all the directions you get. Welcome, indeed, to Atrocia Manor. On the outside, you'll notice a faint howling in the distance. You better start running. That howling is only going to get louder as the werewolves start approaching. They roam in packs and will approach you from all sides, leveling a menacing stare at you before-!!!

-licking your hand. They'll all suddenly surround your character and start licking and lavishing attention on you as their tails wag from side to side happily. They may even roll over and show you their bellies for belly rubs. Please give them a treat and lots of love.
PHASE II
[ xx:xx ] Once you survive that grueling challenge, it's on to the next part. This is where things start to heat up. The inner atrium of the mansion is dark, only lit by faint torches. In the center are three of the four ghosts that were spoken of, slowly moving in circles around a shrouded figure. Before you can glimpse at the figure, it disappears and the ghosts turn to you and start approaching from every side. They block you in, leaving you in the center and slowly looming around you.

Their howls are prolonged and deep, piercing your ears, and they seem to want to lead you into a room. You can choose to run from their frightful faces or you can follow them. They will seat you down at the dinner table then slowly pull forth a power point presentation. This is your love and/or sex life. Yes, you have a sad one. How dare you? The ghosts will guilt you for this, and somewhere in the midst of their lecture, you notice a faint figure moving along the windows. It's only for a flicker of a second that it appears, but the impression it leaves on you remains.
PHASE III
[ xx:xx ] Feeling tired already? Well, don't stop and rest now! The challenges will only get worse. As you escape the three ghosts, you will ascend the stairs to the second level. Awaiting you is a vicious vampire …panda. Does it want your blood? Nope. It wants to talk to you about how to properly file your tax forms for a successful tax return. It will then lecture you on the EVILS of tax evasion. Be prepared for a scary ride with this one. It's not letting you out of the room until you listen to everything it has to say. For those who attempt to escape, it will… do absolutely nothing. It will sit there and watch you run.

PHASE IV
[ xx:xx ] You escape the horrors of both the first floor and the second floor only to arrive at the basement. The mysterious fourth ghost awaits with its back turned to you. It's covered in a shroud, and you are sure it's going to talk about diversifying your stock profile next. Oh, how wrong you are.

Because this one legitimately wants you dead, and it will wear the face of your worst enemy or your least favorite person while swiping down a scythe to reap away your life quickly. It won't be easy to kill, but once you whittle down its life halfway, it will finally reveal its true form. That's when the entire dungeon will start to glitch, and the ghost will cradle you between its hands before warning you:

sn ǝɹǝʌǝɹ sn ɹɐǝɟ sn ǝɹǝʌǝɹ sn ɹɐǝɟ
sn ǝɹǝʌǝɹ sn ɹɐǝɟ sn ǝɹǝʌǝɹ sn ɹɐǝɟ
sn ǝɹǝʌǝɹ sn ɹɐǝɟ sn ǝɹǝʌǝɹ sn ɹɐǝɟ
sn ǝɹǝʌǝɹ sn ɹɐǝɟ sn ǝɹǝʌǝɹ sn ɹɐǝɟ
sn ǝɹǝʌǝɹ sn ɹɐǝɟ sn ǝɹǝʌǝɹ sn ɹɐǝɟ
sn ǝɹǝʌǝɹ sn ɹɐǝɟ sn ǝɹǝʌǝɹ sn ɹɐǝɟ


It will then fade away, and congratulations! You won! Sort of...
BONUS
[ why:o'clock ] Congratulations on surviving Atrocia Manor! Here's your complimentary coupon for 35% off on your next Vidia's Secret purchase. Wasn't that a fun ride? But wait. There's more! The final final boss awaits you outside in the courtyard. It's the most gruesome of them all. The worst ghost you can encounter because it's one that has known great suffering and is out for vengeance.

It will follow you around and try to eat you basically. One floating dot at the time until it can reach you.

Welcome to CEREALIA's latest intro post. For your convenience, we have compiled a post detailing everyone's usual arrival experience (which is not entirely applicable this round for reasons stated above^) and a FAQ that should explain everything in more detail. Please read them thoroughly before playing. Thank you!

Ah, sorry! [Sakura doesn't know how many people are in here, but maybe they're supposed to be taking turns for going into the room?? She's only just opened the door, but after something like that, she immediately turns around, her back facing the room.

Granted, since she doesn't even know what she's not supposed to look at...]


Um, how long should I stay out here for?
souperb: (pic#8531079)

[personal profile] souperb 2014-12-17 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ah. people who actually listen to what she says. that's good, in a world full of confusion and sexual education. well, more like sexual shaming.

speaking of. ]


Until I say so. That is, unless you want to see or hear something you shouldn't. [ speaking of that, she's going to move to the projector and forcefully turn that off.

sakura may not see what's going on, but she may hear something along the lines of "how dare you you virgin" as milla does that. ]
Knock it off!
springful: (or i might break your legs)

[personal profile] springful 2014-12-18 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
I'd rather not intrude... [Just what is going on in this room anyways?? But when she overhears the virgin comment, it all kind of clicks together. Oh, so that's what's going on in this room....

Wow she definitely doesn't want to go in there COUGH.]


This is just a suggestion, but why not leave? [Is there anything stopping this woman from leaving? She really has no idea, but it seems preferable than discussing a topic like this.]
souperb: (pic#8531075)

[personal profile] souperb 2014-12-18 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[ stop making sense sakura..... this place makes no sense, so the first glimpse of it shouldn't be against her.

and yet! and yet it is! alas. ]


Because I thought they'd do something other than be disgustingly annoying and playing with [ she pats the projector pretty roughly, to sad, sad howls from the ghost department. ] this. As for your suggestion, I was about to, until you blocked the doorway.

[ also she was too busy yelling through their presentation but no one needs to know that..... ]
springful: (i'm getting a movie???)

[personal profile] springful 2014-12-20 12:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[sakura is here for the sole purpose of sadly reminding milla about logic...]

O-Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to! [OH GOSH she was being inconsiderate uwoo... So she immediately steps to the side and thus out of the doorway's path. If only she realized that this definitely wasn't the sole reason Milla didn't leave.] Here, you can step through now.
souperb: (pic#8531068)

[personal profile] souperb 2014-12-23 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ no…. she didn't need this….

but wow are all people here so easy. okay, milla'll just… move to leave through the door… as the ghosts aim to boot up their next presentation.

she gives them a glance over her shoulder. ]


I'd leave too, if I were you.
springful: (or i might break your legs)

[personal profile] springful 2014-12-24 01:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[look if milla's looking for a hard time, sakura's the last place she should be trying... "trying to appease people and not be a bother" might as well be her middle name.]

I think I will. It didn't seem... pleasant in there. [she's not gonna say she overheard anything, but. she overheard something.]
souperb: (pic#8627205)

[personal profile] souperb 2014-12-24 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ we'll change that to sakura "get out of the way coming through" matou soon enough....

as they're both leaving: ]


That's an understatement. [ ah--

she stops suddenly, in the hallway, turning to her fellow escapee. who knows how long sakura was at the door for... ]
Anything you could've possibly heard, you better forget it!
springful: (i'm getting a movie???)

[personal profile] springful 2014-12-25 10:26 am (UTC)(link)
[we're leaving sakura's character growth in your care, milla....]

I-I didn't hear anything, really! [A LIE but it's not like she even wanted to overhear something okay.] Even if I did, I wouldn't want to go around telling people about it.
souperb: (pic#8627210)

[personal profile] souperb 2015-01-13 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
When you're the one who mentions telling anyone, it doesn't exactly make you more trustworthy, you know.

[ G O D. still, after looking sakura up and down (enjoy that awkwardness), she adds: ]

But I suppose you don't look like the type with the stomach to do that.
