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. :(

Welcome to CEREALIA's latest event post. For your convenience, we have compiled a post detailing what's going on right here and feel free to consult the FAQ if needed. Please leave any lingering questions in the OOC post, and we'll answer them as soon as we can.


littlestbaskerville: nope i'm gonna marry master glen just you see (✿ don't try to look cool; believe in -)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2014-12-29 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sticking her tongue out at the man throwing a tantrum she holds the device to her chest. Making sure to keep a good distance where he can't steal it back.]

Huh? Oh, okay...what's your name?

I'm Lily!
unevoke: (is this even ic)

[personal profile] unevoke 2014-12-31 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Her enthusiasm is catching and reminds him a bit of his orphanage days and the days he spent playing with Akihiko and Miki without a care in the world. It makes him a little wistful, a little jealous, that this girl can be so cheerful about things. But no point in wallowing in his own misery and bringing the atmosphere down.]

That's a nice name, Lily. I'm Shinji.

['Shinjiro' seems like so much of a mouthful.]
littlestbaskerville: YAN YAN YAN (✿ i will pull your tangles out.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2014-12-31 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lily was normally pretty bubbly, it would be hard to believe what she's been through. Or the reason behind the tattoo on her face. Still she wishes she could talk to the man face to face.]

Thank you, nice to meet you Shinji!

[A pause.]

How should I get this back to you?
unevoke: wear your uniform more often dumbass (pic#8074854)

[personal profile] unevoke 2014-12-31 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[She brings up a good point. He can't exactly tell her to give it back after a set period of time, since he's got no idea when this'll end (if it ever does). There's no way he's trusting his body not to go chasing after Lily somehow in order to get the device back. Hmmm. Shinjiro's no smart cookie but he's bright enough to figure out a plan that might work.]

How about we come up with some sort of catchphrase? One only we know. That way he [a nod towards his body] won't be able to get it back.
littlestbaskerville: i'm totally and completely 100% innocent (✿ we'll fulfill our dreams &we'll be -)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-01 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lily didn't want to give it back to a phoney! If she gave it back it should be to the real person.]

Catchphrase?

[For a moment she holds the device close to her chest and rocks on her heels and toes. She needs something that's easy to remember, right? Hm, the most she remembers is her chain's name a lot of the time. There was something else.]

Oh! Mister Invisible? I can ask and then you can answer something?
unevoke: (pic#8055224)

[personal profile] unevoke 2015-01-05 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh right, big words are probably not great for smaller people. Shinjiro's saved from having to rephrase; after a moment of confusion Lily catches on, notably brightening even as she clutches his CereVice in her hands. Her idea's pretty reasonable, and after a quick hmm of thought, Shinjiro shakes his head--then remembers to vocalize his agreement aloud.]

Yeah, that'd work. What kinda question do you think you should ask?
littlestbaskerville: YAN YAN YAN (✿ i will pull your tangles out.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-08 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Lily wasn't sure where to look but she was hoping it was towards him...maybe? When she's asked she has to think long and hard about it before she speaks up.]

Why not...why do you wear the weird hat?
unevoke: (Default)

[personal profile] unevoke 2015-01-11 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's not sure what kind of question he's expecting but that certainly isn't it, mostly because it's such a simple, down-to-earth question. But hey, maybe that's better. Makes it easier to remember, at least.

Although:]


The hat ain't weird. [It's totally super cool!! But anyway.] But I wear it to keep my head warm. Gets cold where I'm from, especially during the winter.

littlestbaskerville: except what is a yandere pot i'm in that pot too (✿ you're already in high spirits.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-12 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Really?

[It's weird to Lily...she's never seen anything like it.]

Would that work then?
unevoke: HE LOOKS LIKE KEN HERE wtf (hay gurl hay)

[personal profile] unevoke 2015-01-12 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Does he need to get Lily her very own thug beanie for Christmas? He will totally do that IT HAS BEEN MARKED DOWN IN THE BOOKS. But in the meantime, they've got this weird pact to finish making.]

Yeah, that oughta do. You okay holdin' onto that for a couple days?

[He might need to skedaddle soon - his body's starting to wander off again.]
littlestbaskerville: and i want sweets leT'S GET SOME SWEETS (✿ you will dance with me‚ yeah!)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-13 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Maybe? She would have to discover how comfortable they were!]

Okay! I can do that then...Um...I'll hold on to it, I promise!
unevoke: HE LOOKS LIKE KEN HERE wtf (hay gurl hay)

[personal profile] unevoke 2015-01-14 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks, kid.

[Oh man, his body's really speeding up, he's gonna have to make a move for it soon, but given that he doesn't exactly know where Lily lives, he's gonna need to get that information first.]

Where're you livin' right now? So I can come pick it up later.

[He's not a pervert or anything, promise.]
littlestbaskerville: i'm too young for a tattoo? blasphemy! (✿ we will be who we are.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-14 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
No problem!

[She smiles at the air...because who knows where you are!]

Oh...Um...I live with Vincent...
unevoke: (what the shit)

[personal profile] unevoke 2015-01-14 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Close enough! (He is actually two inches to her left.) Except hmmm.]

Is he your brother? [But more importantly:] He in the address book?
littlestbaskerville: ablublublu you're a meanie!! (✿ i'm just looking for the sky that i -)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-14 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
No! He's not...it's...complicated!

Um...yes? Vincent Nightray? Or Baskerville.
unevoke: (is this even ic)

[personal profile] unevoke 2015-01-14 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ COMPLICATED IS HIS LEAST FAVORITE WORD. But okay, a full name (ish??), he can work with that. He'll have to, since his body's going full-speed ahead now.

Cute girl: spotted.]


Got it. I'll figure it out. But I gotta go now before that idiot over there wrecks more stuff.

[BYE LILY THANKS FOR BEING A TRUE FRIEND.]
littlestbaskerville: YAN YAN YAN (✿ i will pull your tangles out.)

[personal profile] littlestbaskerville 2015-01-14 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
O-Oh okay! I'll see you soon?

[She waves as she watches his body run off.]

Bye bye!
