You Don't Stand a Ghost of a Chance


You were always warned about the little things that go bump in the night, but you didn't believe them, did you? After all, ghosts don't exist, and things aren't really out to get you in the dark. As the month draws nearer to its final days, however, you're going to want to double check that belief of yours.

On the eve of the 20th, continuing on, you'll feel the signs. It'll begin with a flicker, something barely noticeable. Conveniently, that day, the cinemas will start showing some creepy movies (maybe you'll have seen similar ones back home, or have you?) and you can access Ceres' TV stations- amazing show and movie line-up on their devices or TV screen. All seems to be normal, really... except for the weather that seems somewhat chilly and dismal throughout, with chances of storms every now and then. 'tis the season to be spooky, after all. It's just the weather being weird...

Until you get the feeling that something is in your house... and you sure as heck didn't invite it in.

How will you know? Well, you might hear it, whispering in your ear, or maybe see it as just appearing as part of that movie, or on a Holo-screen you're walking by, and disappearing as quickly as you hear or see it...

"You'd better not shout, you'd better not cry, you'd better not pout NoT TeLliNg YoU whY Gonna taste you, spit you out, smell you soon YoU STINKy LOuT. Hope you like the company. We've been dying to meet you."

//SCENARIOS.EXE
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
[ xx:xx ] 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
[ xx:xx ] 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
[ xx:xx ] 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
[ why:o'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. :(

[personal profile] prosecutory 2014-12-28 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
No, but I wanted to confirm that this was a colony-wide affair. [Two people affected? That's definitely a sign, but one more reported incident couldn't hurt and would corroborate what they have.] And while I found no clues in my apartment, I won't rest until I've inspected every suspicious-looking nook and cranny.

[And you, sir, just want to rest, apparently.]
brocon: because ayumu's life = every song (but all along i knew)

[personal profile] brocon 2014-12-28 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ I am also a big liar, so never believe in what I say!

He thinks for a moment. ]


We're not real, just fabricated data or whatever- [ There's a hint of annoyance as he says that ]... This is probably the first sign of an incoming boss fight.

[ He says this so nonchalantly, it might come off as BS. ]
prosecutory: (♙ we thought)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2014-12-29 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Edgeworth raises an eyebrow.]

And you believe that story?

[Guess who doesn't! That's right! THIS GUY.]
brocon: because ayumu's life = every song (i wanna blow off steam)

[personal profile] brocon 2014-12-29 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Science can be so advanced - you may think some things aren't possible, but researchers will find ways to make things happen.

People can replicate another's genes and create an artificial human being. Who's to say transcribing human life into bits and pieces of data isn't possible?

[ He says it with distaste. ]
prosecutory: (♘ when I gave the word)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2014-12-30 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
And yet, the opposite is just as possible - science has become advanced enough to create a convincing lie.

[#pessimist]
brocon: (♙ i've got time)

[personal profile] brocon 2014-12-30 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
That's okay.

[ Someone is more of a pessimist than you are. ]

Sounds like everyday life to me.
prosecutory: (♘ Roman cavalry choirs are singing)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2014-12-31 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Some things never change across worlds.

[People using science to cover up the truth, yup.]
brocon: because ayumu's life = every song (but don't let the doctor in)

[personal profile] brocon 2014-12-31 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Just raises an eyebrow at that. ]

Someone's an explorer.
prosecutory: (♘ never an honest word)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2015-01-01 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Not by choice.

[He didn't deny it.]
brocon: (♙ our colours come alive)

[personal profile] brocon 2015-01-02 08:42 am (UTC)(link)
Do you time-travel as well?
prosecutory: (♘ Roman cavalry choirs are singing)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2015-01-02 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
It likewise wasn't by choice.

[Death City was a few years back in the past.]
brocon: because ayumu's life = every song (there's no turning back)

[personal profile] brocon 2015-01-02 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ayumu's pretty curious about all this, but Mr. Fancy over here sure doesn't seem like the type who would give information away so easily. ]

Gee-whiz, Mister. You sound like a total space hero.
prosecutory: (♘ but that was when I ruled)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2015-01-04 01:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmph. I've never been to space. Nor would I consider myself a hero.

[Mr. Fancy at least gives away that much.]
brocon: because ayumu's life = every song (they wouldn't want this anyway)

[personal profile] brocon 2015-01-04 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh boy, you took that seriously, didn't you? ]

Now's a good time to start on a new adventure.
prosecutory: (♘ I can't explain; I know)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2015-01-11 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[YES, HE DID.]

Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't have chosen one like this.

[No more adventures, please. No more. NO MORE.]
brocon: (♙ we're smiling but we're close to tears)

[personal profile] brocon 2015-01-12 07:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ THE ADVENTURES WILL COME TO YOU. YOU CANNOT ESCAPE, EDGEWORTH! ]

Why not? This is the epitome of fun.
prosecutory: (♙ all these feelings I've shared)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2015-01-13 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Being welcomed by security droids chasing us on false charges is not my idea of "fun".

[That's what he was afraid of. That's how AAI and AAI2 were born. THE ADVENTURES CAME TO HIM.]
Edited 2015-01-13 14:54 (UTC)
brocon: because ayumu's life = every song (hope when the water rises)

[personal profile] brocon 2015-01-13 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
What?

[ He sure wasn't welcomed by something like that. ]
prosecutory: (♘ never an honest word)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2015-01-14 11:58 am (UTC)(link)
I understand that each batch of newcomers is welcomed differently. That was what greeted us when we arrived.

[And he still hasn't gotten over it. Seriously, he already gets enough false charges back home, why add to that? At least this time it wasn't murder.]
brocon: because ayumu's life = every song (hope if everybody runs)

[personal profile] brocon 2015-01-14 12:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He remembers his own... "welcome", and he doesn't look happy at the thought of it. ]

So, you were accused wrongly for something? What did you do afterwards?
prosecutory: (♖ I am titanium)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2015-01-14 03:38 pm (UTC)(link)
After we spent the wee hours of the morning dodging security droid attacks? The CEO ordered the robots to cease and desist, and gave us each 20,000 credits as compensation.

[From his tone of voice, Edgeworth doesn't think it's enough compensation for putting them through a life-and-death chase, and it's apparent from the disdain and disappointment in his tone.]
brocon: (♙ if you see this girl...)

[personal profile] brocon 2015-01-14 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ If Ayumu had experienced that, he wouldn't have let the CEO get away. Or,well, he would, but he would openly show his annoyance at the situation every change he'd get. Basically, he'd be the worst passive-aggressive person the CEO ever knew. What a pain in the ass. ]

You're lucky to even get something out of it.
prosecutory: (♘ my castles stand)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2015-01-16 01:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sadly the CEO has a penchant for getting away with these sorts of things. Edgeworth couldn't get anything out of him and had to be satisfied with wandering the streets and interviewing people.]

Hmph. I suppose. In any case, at least it hasn't happened to anyone outside our batch.
brocon: because ayumu's life = every song (please take me back)

[personal profile] brocon 2015-01-16 01:46 pm (UTC)(link)
That just makes you all the more special.

[ Ayumu laughs at his own joke, because it really is funny to him. But seeing that the person he's talking to doesn't seem to have a bit of humour ingrained in his body, he might just be the only one to find it the slightest bit humourous. ]
prosecutory: (♖ I'm talking loud; not saying much)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2015-01-16 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I did say we were a batch. That hardly makes me "special". [EDGEWORTH THAT WAS A JOKE, WHY DID YOU TAKE IT SO LITERALLY.]
