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
I'm fine.. you didn't get hurt, did you? [ Because she sure as hell can't see, but she'll apologize later for putting her hand to his cheek in some poor attempt to make sure he was alright. ]
no subject
I-I'm fine! I'm fine, jeez. [ Another screen breaks. ] Oh man, they're so gonna kill me tomorrow...
no subject
Alright.. [ But she tenses up again at the sound of a screen breaking. ] Maybe we should get further away. [ It's not like just anywhere is safe, apparently. ] The woman that was screaming earlier, is she still there?
no subject
[ Just then, the woman lets out another scream as she soars across the room, placing herself right above them. ]
AAAAAAAH! BANSHEE!
[ yata why are you hIDING BEHIND THE BLIND PERSON... ]
no subject
[ YATA YOU'RE BASICALLY HER SEEING EYE DOG. ]
no subject
[ There's something really wrong with this logic, but at least he pulls her down with him as the banshee swoops down at them, letting out one last shriek before she flickers out like a hologram. The same heat surrounds her in that moment.
In the next, everything is silent. ]
... It's gone. For now, I guess.
no subject
[ Not being able to see it at all is even more of a threat. She feels herself being pulled down, the shriek ringing in her ears that causes her to cringe before everything goes silent.
Unfortunately it does nothing to calm her heart pounding wildly in her chest. ]
I-Is it really? [ She swallows, not even noticing how she stuttered. ] I'll take your word on it.. but geez, that was really creepy. And just when I thought things couldn't get any worse.
no subject
[ And at least Yata can let go. He releases Leanne's shirt from his grasp and straightens his posture up before taking her by wrist, albeit hesitantly. ]
Um, w-we're almost out! Just a little more.
no subject
So there's not really a safe place, is there? [ Wiggling her wrist around in his grasp before it's freed before she takes his hands into hers.
She doesn't need to explain herself, it's just more comfortable this way then feeling like she's being dragged around like a doll. ] Thank you, I'm.. I'm sorry if I'm just making a whole lot of trouble for you.
no subject
Yata doesn't complain and lets her do what she wants, but even so, he gasps and tries to keep himself together. ]
... Nah, it's fine. When you find someone in need, you gotta help 'em.
[ As the walk, she'll hear the sound of a door sliding open in front of them, then closing behind. ]
We're out. Will, um, will you be okay?
misaki "girls have cooties" yata please go back to kindergarten
Mm.. I think so, but, you know. [ She waves her free hand in front of her face. ] I've never been blind before, so I'm pretty much at a disadvantage.
this is why he should have went to high school
What do you mean? How long've you been like this?
no subject
I was kinda afraid that last one was going to make me deaf with how loud it screamed.. so that probably means that there's a ton of different ghosts that can do who knows what.
no subject
[ He can't stop his teeth from chattering. It doesn't help that it's cold outside. ]
no subject
It's alright. [ Under these circumstances age doesn't really matter, so Leanne doesn't hesitate to let her motherly tendencies overcome her and reaches out to pat the young (?????) boy on the head. ] Don't be scared! You were able to protect yourself and me against that last one, I bet you're strong enough to pull through and survive.
[ That's.. encouraging. ]
no subject
Kgh, I know I'm strong, dammit... [ It takes him two seconds more before he gently pushes her arm away. ] Don't touch me, I-I'm not a kid. Ugh... Let's just go!
[ He runs... ahead... ]
