PHASE I [ xx xx ]
Your first day will go normally enough, even if some things at work or school will behave a little oddly. Nothing too major, but enough to give you a sense of unease through the day.
The real fun begins when the evening is in full swing, because things will feel even worse than before. Objects will disappear and reappear in the wrong places, your HoloGM at home or the workplace will decide to suddenly flicker into strange shapes and frightening objects before turning to normal, and who threw that lamp??
If you were planning on spending an evening of peace, well. We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but... on the positive side, there's a fun stream of spooky shows to watch?! Just ignore the possibility of someone joining you... or not. Ignoring a guest isn't nice, you know. Will you run into the arms of a lover or friend, or run and hide? The choice is yours.
PHASE II [ xxxx ] You're going to really not like what comes next, deep into the hours past 3 a.m. Hope you're not a cranky sleeper, because you may want to be up for this. Your Cerevice will blink a strange message that will merely read "W A R N I N G" and flicker to normal before you feel that your privacy has been completely compromised.
Or at least haunted.
Because the next thing you know? Ghosts. Lots of them. And they're not going to wait before giving you chase and letting your senses take the hit. Of course, you might just get lucky and not be visited by any of the ghosts at all- but then again, things will just continue to make you jumpy and spook you out throughout the time the others suffer. Hope you weren't counting on a lot of sleep. And as for those of you who will eventually become victims of your unfriendly visitors, well... hope your friends are around to help. Your CereVice certainly will.
PHASE III [ xxxx ]
What a rotten week. If you haven't been visited by your ghosts of eternal damage, you're going to have a nasty week at work with things going wrong and everything just points at you. If you have been hit by a ghost, you're going to be suffering the after-effects throughout. The good news is, your CereVices will do their best to compensate for what you did lose. You can voice activate them or touch activate them, or have them give you textual directions. Your healer friends however, can come in very handy and attempt to fix you up- and may even succeed! Though some effects may be stronger than the rest. Even ViViD will have some intriguing new stages that may put your recent condition into focus and have you work through them to gain a better boost.
Just don't be surprised if it isn't entirely effective, but hey, remember when we said having friends is a good thing? Hope you've been making some, because they might just be the only chance you have against suffering this alone.
PHASE IV [ xxxx ]
As the week draws to a close, the effects of the hauntings will start to wear off, and surprise and joy, things will seem normal again. People won't be experiencing any irritations and jumpy situations at home anymore, and all will be well.
Then night will fall and they'll come again.
For those of you who were lucky enough to escape, the only trouble you'll have is the screams of horror and the frightening situations your friends are in (did we mention you had to make friends?)- you may have to get out of bed to help, hunt around- and probably put your life on the line.
Because those that did get affected, will be dragged into a place of horror and fright, of shivers and quivers- Vidia's Secret: Premium Lingerie to suit all tastes. A beast of horrifying proportions awaits there, ready to tear your friends from limb to limb, so we do hope the captives are prepared to fight, or die trying.
PURGATORY [ whyo'clock ]
You died while fighting against the final boss. Sucks, but it happens. That's why you're here, after all. There isn't much, but make yourselves at home. The surroundings will look pleasant enough, little recovery huts with some cute digital medics of all types waiting in there to help you out. After about 12 hours in Ceres time, the characters will step out of ViViD and be given gift bags with "You Tried" stars on them, each containing a sexy set of lingerie (and animal onesies for anyone below 16) and pampering materials like bath bombs, chocolates, candles and shampoos to take the trauma off the last few days. For those that survived, they'll be getting the same, as well as "Well Done!" stars on their bags (and an extra massage coupon)- and all parties will recieve a little note contained within reading: "We're sorry, have some gifts. You can blame one of your own for being too curious, though. Remember to read the instructions next time, and don't go on witch hunts!"
For those exploring Purgatory, just relax and enjoy the view. Also, your characters might have woken up wearing the lingerie or onesies during their "recovery treatment"... we're sorry they're the only clothes they'll get until they leave. :(

no subject
[It's not even a guess. If he were in Shirou's position, which is easily imagined (and makes him angrier to know that), he would be the same way.]
What would you do when you don't hear it? After you've failed her because you can't stand for yourself, what do you do? Beg for more power to rescue her? Do anything at all cost?!
1/? god
[Shirou's silent. If Sakura's not there then there's no point to anything he's doing. ]
2/?
I wouldn't know what to do if I've failed Sakura. [Thinking about this "what if" scenario's clouding his ability to reason. He slumps his shoulders and drops to his knees.]
done
[Illya's sacrifice will be in vain and he can't have that.]
This is already my second chance. [He's struggling to speak and he's obviously straining himself. Archer doesn't need to see to notice this.]
no subject
no subject
[He can tell who it is so he unsummons his swords. No need to be threatening to the wrong person. Shirou will always be the one at fault.]
Rescued again by her. As long as you remain useless, you'll be a burden to everyone around you.
no subject
It's troublesome enough to have to deal with this but I can't look weak in front of Sakura.
[He pulls himself up together and immediately stops looking so pathetic.]
no subject
[Quickly walking over to him... It doesn't matter if she has to go on her tip toes to do it, SAKURA MAD, and she's at least gonna try to slap him in the face.]
Don't speak for other people when you have no idea what you're talking about! No matter what you think, for myself at least, whether Senpai is a burden or not is my decision, and I say that he isn't!
no subject
There's no need to defend himself or his actions. At this point, it would seem pitiful. Besides, he's almost sure Shirou took the hint. One couldn't be entirely sure but hopefully he drilled into him that he needs to improve his shit.]
It's fine that you defend him but remember the consequences.
[This was technically a me/me situation. Which meant Archer's past would be defined by Shirou's future.]
no subject
Instead of getting angry or upset Shirou sits there reflecting back on his actions.
Archer's accepting the fact Sakura's scolding him. Sakura said that he isn't a burden. Shirou needs to become better himself. ]
Sakura, it's fine. We shouldn't ignore what Archer's saying. [It's times like these where Shirou hates the fact that he's really slow at picking up on hints.]
no subject
[She knew things would be difficult ever since that night in the rain. But even though she doesn't know what caused all of this to happen in the first place, she can't accept Archer hurting Shirou so easily.]
no subject
You would be smart to listen to what Shirou is saying.
no subject
Hear me out for a moment, Sakura. It's my fault things are going this way. I know I owe you some explanations. I just need you to give me that chance.
[Because he knows he's been avoiding it. It's difficult for Shirou to talk about his problems...especially to the one he loves.]
Archer, we'll sort this out. Do you have any complaints with that?
no subject
[While she wanted Shirou to be more open about what was bothering him, she wasn't expecting it to be like this. Still, now that it's come to this, she won't let him get away with not telling her. In any case, she waits for Archer's response.]
no subject
[Playing it straight but mostly just cutting off his part there.]
no subject
This isn't an ideal location for that kind of conversation. [It's too...out in the open.] Why don't we head on back first? I'll explain there.
