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
But he's no fool, at least not a complete fool, and he gets that he's not as fine as he says. So when they finally reach home and he gets him inside he makes him sit down on a chair by the kitchen table to fetch him a glass of water. ]
Here.
no subject
He'd rather just crawl under his bed sheets but he can manage pulling his legs to his chest and lean his chin against his knees. He accepts the glass, but doesn't drink from it yet, just letting it perch on one of his knees with his fingers as support. ]
Thanks.
no subject
How long has it. Been since you last. Slept? And have you gotten. Enough vitamin A?
no subject
I slept this morning. And I think so. Everything was completely normal before, it just sort of came like a punch in the face or something.
[ He's been punched in the face plenty, okay? ]
no subject
It can't be. Diabetic because you can't. Feel effects from that when you're. Dead... Have you gotten anything. In your eye. Recently? Any pain?
[ When the flashlight doesn't give any reaction to either of his eyes he puts it down to inspect his eyeballs and around them for any inflammations or other things. ]
no subject
I'm not diabetic in the first place, I think. No, I haven't.
[ He twitches a little bit. That feels unpleasant. But he'll manage. ]
no subject
Trachoma? Onchocerciasis? Leprosy?
[ Sorry. But he really needs to look into it properly. ]
PAD? It can be caused by. Smoking.
no subject
I doubt it'd just kick in like this, though.
[ Seriously, he's no medic here, you're losing him. ]
no subject
[ Considering they're already dead and all, the only thing that should be able to make him blind is some sort of spirit energy. Because it's not like anyone has cut his eyes out of his head. ]
I'll... Take you to. Bed. Here.
[ He takes Hokuto by the hand. ]
no subject
Yeah.
[ He takes the glass in his free hand, downs it, and finds a surface to put it on before he lets go of it. Not until after that's done, he gets back to his feet. ]
no subject
So instead he just leads Hokuto to bed... belatedly realizing it's his own bed, not Hokuto's. And he realizes this only after he's had the man sit down on it. ]
O-oh.
[ He was just on auto-pilot. When he's going to a bed it's always been this one after getting here. ]
no subject
What?
no subject
I, u-um, I mean... No-nothing.
no subject
You sure?
[ It doesn't really sound like "nothing" to him. ]
no subject
I, I t-took y-you t-t-o. To the wro-wrong bed.
[ He's so embarrassed he thinks he would have died of shame had he not already been dead. ]
no subject
Oh, is that it?
[ He'll just get to his feet and find his own bed, then. There aren't that many stuff between them, so he only stumbles a little. ]
no subject
S-sorry!
no subject
It's fine.
[ His voice is muffled by the pillow. ]
no subject
So he rolls him over to the best of his abilities (moving patients is a thing he does once in a while), and tugs the blankets out from underneath him to tuck him in properly. ]
G-good night.
no subject
He pulls his pillow over his face. It makes him feel a little better, like the darkness is caused by the pillow, and not by whatever is going on with his eyes. ]
'night.
