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. :(

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.]
brocon: (♙ what am i supposed to say)

[personal profile] brocon 2015-01-16 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Have you ever had a teen just give you the eyes of judgement? Enjoy this pair. ]
prosecutory: (♙ we thought)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2015-01-17 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[He just stares right back at you impassively, O Judging Teen.]

I think it's time we continued our investigation, don't you?
brocon: because ayumu's life = every song (and call me mr. benzedrine)

[personal profile] brocon 2015-01-17 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure.

[ Although he's not quite sure if that was an invitation to join him, or part ways. ]

"Our"?
prosecutory: (♘ when I gave the word)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2015-01-20 12:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Whether you wish to investigate with me or not, we should get to the bottom of this, is that correct?

[...so it can be an invitation, and it can also not be an invitation. Weh.]
brocon: because ayumu's life = every song (or in circles like we're aeroplanes)

[personal profile] brocon 2015-01-20 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
That's right.

[ Gross, you're an old guy who can't even make up his mind.

That does earn a smile from Ayumu, and he even gives Edgeworth a salute. This would likely be the most awkward investigation ever, but at least he was with somebody else. Beats staying in a room with ghosts. ]


It'll be my pleasure to assist you, sir.
prosecutory: (♘ seas would rise)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2015-01-28 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's offering you options. And he is not old, wow.]

Then I'm glad we've come to an understanding. [He's not a dorky detective or a hyper thief but he'll do.]
brocon: (♙ with all these books around)

[personal profile] brocon 2015-01-28 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... unfortunately, he isn't a dorky detective. He's a drywall and sarcastic detective who can be dorky, but would rather not, because then he would be like his brother. ]

So, how exactly can you investigate something that you can't see?
prosecutory: (♘ for some reason)

[personal profile] prosecutory 2015-02-07 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[It could be worse, he could have had a whip on him and used it on people.]

By investigating what you can see, and relying on our other senses. It sounds easier said than done, but it's the only way to do it at this point.

[a.k.a. KEEP LOOKING YOU GUYS.]
brocon: (♙ show me your scars)

[personal profile] brocon 2015-02-07 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He nods.

Honestly, he doesn't really need any advice to investigate. But he has nothing better to do. Some guy is taking him under his wing, so why not play along? The guy might even help him find a place to stay in while there's... "ghosts" around. ]


Do you want to go check my apartment again, then?
