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. :(

Straight a couple blocks, then turn right. It's one of the rundown buildings in that neighborhood.
['Cause that ain't sketchy at all.]
no subject
She pauses at his description of his house, more concerned that he's staying in a rundown building than anything else. And then there's the issue of the ghost-in-body, who might get distracted and wander off.
Knowing she can't hold him physically... she decides to do something else. ]
Um... Maybe I could help you with your pick-up lines?
[ Starting to walk, Saya wonders if she's going to regret this plan. ]
no subject
I don't need to flirt with more girls!
[Ah, but ghost-possessed Shinji seems quite eager to partake of this offer, eyes shining like a beacon in the night as he ambles towards Saya and nods vigorously. Teach him, Senpai.]
no subject
U-Um... You have to be confident. And smooth, even when...you're turned down...
[ Her face is turning red as she says all this. She can't believe she's saying all this. A part of her wants to hide, but she's promised to try and help... ]
no subject
At least they're only 20 minutes from his place. And at least no one else is here to see his descent into complete and utter shame, the rest of the passersby too absorbed in their own personal problems to notice.]
Have you actually done this before?
[Sorry if he sounds kind of incredulous.]
no subject
But... But if they say no and want you to go away, you have to stop bothering them.
[ Sorry Shinji. ]
i can't believe i just did that
Though, from the way she says it...]
You been bothered a lot by guys who don't listen?
I didn't notice!!
[ ...out much. She'd remained mostly at home after that incident. But saying that would make her sound weird, wouldn't it? Saya closes her mouth and tries to think of what to say. ]
Um, I've never met anyone like that...
[ But even a ghost ought to learn that. As she answers, she sneaks a peak towards the ghost, wondering if it's still following or paying attention. ]
no subject
The ghost is still following along, looking appropriately ashamed at Saya's mini-lecture much to Shinjiro's surprise. Apparently even ghosts can learn life lessons like this?
Good timing too, since they're nearing Shinjiro's apartment complex.]
You won't have to go much further. I live right over there. [Except, wait, he can't actually point at his building, he'll have to specify.] The one right in the middle.
no subject
Let's go over there together, okay?
no subject
Whatever it is, Shinji's grateful. And he's also extremely grateful to this girl for herding his wayward body home. He doesn't speak up until they're near his doorstep though.]
Thanks for doin' this, even though you didn't have to.
no subject
I'm glad I could help.
[ Saya stops, glancing around. Which door is it, though... ]
Um...
no subject
One problem down, at least.
From Saya's left, Shinji speaks up, slightly amused.]
Glad he knows where to go, at least. You gonna be okay if you head back by yourself.
[He'd offer to walk her back but....there's not much he can do as an intangible spirit.]
no subject
Mm, I'll be okay! [ But she pauses, thoughtfully. ] ...Will you be okay?
