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. :(
[ Remember to apply proper warnings on threads with trigger-y or inappropriate material and do let a mod know if your thread careens off into maiming or canoodling so we can lock the log. ]

If you're a little wary about meeting new people, that's usually a good way to do it, I think. Meeting friends of friends, and then their friends... [Making a "and so on" gesture.]
no subject
[ Oz, please, she's delicate. ]
no subject
Right, that's a good start. [hAH.] —Anyway! What kind of desserts do you like? I can tell you all about the ones in the shop we're visiting.
no subject
no subject
Oh! In that case, this place will suit you just fine. Even really picky people like it.
no subject
[ at least she looks a great deal more enthusiastic about this than she'd looked for pretzels. ]
no subject
I think it is, anyway. They have tarts and pies and these little things that look like lollipops but they're actually small cakes! [THE PAST IS MISSING OUT ON SO MUCH.]
no subject
[ well, that sounds appealing. ]
no subject
They're really convenient and very sweet. [Probably because they're mixed with frosting and then frosted again... Basically all the sugar that people like Oz really don't need at all.]
no subject
no subject
I'll ask Gil! He knows how to make a lot of desserts, so I'm sure he could figure it out.
[VOLUNTEERS HIM FOR SHIT AT RANDOM.]
no subject
no subject
That's the one! You should come over the next time he's baking.
[Twice as many people pestering him in the kitchen!!]
no subject
no subject
[AND UP AHEAD the sweets shop is coming into view! Even without being able to see the sign, she'll probably be able to tell which building it is...]
no subject
no subject
It really is cute, isn't it? Wait until you see the inside!
[AND AWAY toward the door to open it for his compatriot. The interior is very much corner store sweets shop-y, with most of the candy in glass display jars and most of the pastries behind a case near the register. There's a seating area near the sides, lots of big open windows and an atmosphere that's generally light and pleasant.]
no subject
[ and she's bouncing in, making a beeline for the candy jars and jabbing a finger at everything much too excitedly. ] Oz, look at all the colors!
no subject
It's nice, right? They change their displays twice a week, too! [FOLLOWING. As he goes, he'll point to various jars and displays.]
I've had that one before and it's the softest cookie you'll ever eat. Oh— these ones are nice, too! And those strawberry candies taste just like fresh strawberries.
no subject
[ SHE IS SO FASCINATED. ]
no subject
Try a piece!
no subject
...
[ this may have just blown her mind. ]
no subject
BUT!! Watching expectantly, and that reaction is pretty much what had been expected. ULTIMATE SUCCESS.]
Isn't it good? It's the best strawberry candy I've had. Their other candies taste just like fruits too, but the strawberry one is my favorite!
[That's why he practically lives here......]
no subject
[ strawberry had disappointed her a lot of the time... ]
no subject
A lot of the strawberry things that I first tried here had a really weird aftertaste. Was it the same for you?
