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!


[personal profile] preserver 2014-12-24 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, thank you. [What a sweet kid!!] I like yours as well.

[And then a little more hesitantly because he's not sure if this might be rude or not...]

What do you have there on your face? [DIRT...?]
littlestbaskerville: uuu master glen dreamy sigh (✿ sadness will be far away.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2014-12-24 01:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Really! We all wear robes like this, Baskervilles I mean!

[She looks really excited though the moment he mentions her face she looks a little blank before she smiles softly.

Reaching up she touches her face.]


It's the mark of the devil. [It was a source of sad and then happy memories for her.]

[personal profile] preserver 2014-12-27 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
[He's got no idea what a Baskerville is but no time to ask!! Not when his question gets an expression and an answer like that.

His tone grows soft.]


... Sorry... I shouldn't have asked so carelessly.
littlestbaskerville: YOU TOO FANG (✿ my sadness diminished to one-half.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2014-12-27 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
It's okay!

[She throws herself onto her chain for a moment before she smiles.]

I was from this small French village because I'm a Baskerville we distort people around us. So my family and village tattooed my face and threw me out.

[It was in the past she doesn't seem too upset about.]

But! I was able to see the lights and I found the Baskerville's manor and they love me.

[personal profile] preserver 2014-12-28 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay, so. He didn't understand most of that but her family and village tattooing her face and throwing her out?? That's got him looking very, very disturbed because family doesn't do that.

But the fact that she can say all of this without appearing upset is what leaves a bigger impression on him.]


Ah... that's great. [Soramaru barely knows this girl and already he's feeling for her.] I'm really glad you found people who love you.
littlestbaskerville: oh...... don't take my candy awa- (✿ you actually wanna say something.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2014-12-28 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lily was explaining to perfectly to her...but then again not a lot of people seemed to understand her at times. Though when this man looks upset for her she can't help but to be surprised.

Lily blinks before she taps his hand.]


Are you okay?

[Nodding she looks happy for a moment.]

Yes, Fang and Doug even got tattoos like mine...

[The thought of Fang was upsetting though and she shook her head quickly.]

It was a long time ago though, when I got out of the abyss a hundred years had pasted.

[personal profile] preserver 2014-12-30 07:48 am (UTC)(link)
[W-wait a minute.]

Did you just say... a hundred years?

[Was he listening to a made up story? Was that what was happening here?]
littlestbaskerville: time to kick his butt out of it!! (✿ love‚ pull your sore ribs in.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2014-12-30 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, in the Abyss time moves weirdly...so it can feel like a couple of hours but it's really been a hundred years.

If I count it all up then I'm really a 112 years old.

[She's completely serious about this.]

[personal profile] preserver 2015-01-05 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
[It's like the universe is trying to cram his head full of unbelievable things. Is this really the weirdest thing he's heard all day?? Maybe.

But oh, he's picking up on the fact that she's being serious here.]


You... you're really not joking about this...
littlestbaskerville: i'm totally and completely 100% innocent (✿ we'll fulfill our dreams &we'll be -)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-05 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
No, why would I?

[She just nods.]

...I mean I'm 12 but I was there longer than a few hours.

[personal profile] preserver 2015-01-09 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
[NOTHING MAKES SENSE ANYMORE.]

Aah, sorry... It's a little hard to believe. Not that I think you're lying, Lily, but... that's not how my world works.
littlestbaskerville: you should've put a ring on it! (Default)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-10 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh? I'm telling the truth though, time is just weird in the Abyss.

[She hopes he doesn't think she's lying.]

[personal profile] preserver 2015-01-16 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, he'll just. Roll with it. What else can he do??]

Well, as long as you're okay now, that's what matters.
littlestbaskerville: yes i am the supreme winner of all the things (✿ and we'll live a long life.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-16 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I am! You're really nice Sora.

[Smiling she looks around now that the wolves seem to be leaving.]

They seem to have given up.

[personal profile] preserver 2015-01-17 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Awww, what a nice compliment... He smiles in return, also taking a moment to glance around.]

Yeah... we should be safe now. Do you think you'll be alright, Lily? You have Bandersnatch to look out for you, after all.
littlestbaskerville: nope i'm gonna marry master glen just you see (✿ don't try to look cool; believe in -)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-17 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
Mn-hm! I'll be okay, I'm used to doing mission type things alone!

[Might be puffing out her chest a little at that.]

Will you be okay, Sora?

[personal profile] preserver 2015-01-17 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
You'll have to tell me about your missions one day. [But... he reaches out a hand to fondly pat her on the head.] I'll be fine.

Let's see each other again soon, okay?
littlestbaskerville: time for marriage let's go master glen (✿ &they'll heal our scars.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-17 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
I can do that! [They weren't...the safest things and involved killing...oops. Blinking at the head pat she smiles.]

You have to promise! [She holds out her hand and pinky up.]

[personal profile] preserver 2015-01-17 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh...! Soramaru reaches out to match pinkies with her, a bit awkwardly since he doesn't really do these sorts of things.]

I promise, [he says almost solemnly.] Take care of yourself, Lily.
littlestbaskerville: i'm totally and completely 100% innocent (✿ we'll fulfill our dreams &we'll be -)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-17 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
[She locks them and then breaks them apart with a grin.]

You too, Sora!
