HAPPY HALLOWEEN BITCHES 🎃
Welcome, foolish mortals, to the Haunted Mansion...though you may have once known it as the Crimson Phoenix dorm. As you approach, you may find that the area is hardly recognizable. There are several tables set up outside hosting all sorts of activities, and at the front and center is a small, cheerfully crackling bonfire. Scattered around the outside are several fake tombstones with equally fake inscriptions painted on them and lit by soft glowing lights with various skeletons posed around the graveyard. In the front on the way to the main door is a twelve-foot skeleton dressed as a witch, and from here you can see three inflatable pumpkins on the roof. Approaching the dorm itself, you'll find that the outside has been decked out in lights and decor, and the inside is just as elaborate and extra. Terrible idea to give teenagers unlimited money and time on their hands, huh?
As you enter through the lobby, you'll find that you may be guided to enter a haunted maze. Adventurers beware...
...but for those of you who are more interested in the festivities upstairs, residents of Phoenix dorm will happily shuttle you up to the second floor in an elevator decked out with floating candles. Upon reaching this floor, you'll be greeted with the lounge. There are plenty of couches with red cushions and blankets for maximum comfort, and the entire floor is equally decorated. Various horror movies play on mute from the TV mounted against the wall, and music seems to reverberate throughout the dorm everywhere you go. Loud enough to enjoy, but not loud enough to disrupt conversation. Hanging from the ceiling there also appears to be a large pinata in the shape of the moon, a large wooden stick leaning against the wall with a bandana draped over the top...batter up!
The four bedrooms appear to be blocked off with caution tape, but the two bathrooms and the kitchen are open to everyone. And while there's a third floor...there's nothing of interest up there other than space and more decor to admire as you mingle.
The party's just getting started. Have fun and get spooky.

[ Yeah, they won't get tired of that. ]
You already know I can handle anything you throw at me, dear.

[ Well, if Rabbit says so, who is he to disbelieve? ]
How about we start with something innovative, then?
A long time ago, there was this town that had been around since anyone can remember the existence of any kingdom anywhere. It had survived war and everything that entailed. Though, it seemed like every other place; with the exception of one little thing. You see, there was never a graveyard.
No one questioned it either. There was an unspoken agreement along the folks not to. Though, the younger people always wondered, up until they became responsible adults, and they did as everyone else did.
...Though, there was a young woman who kept that wonder. Enough that she would search for it day and night. After all, when people passed away, their bodies were taken off to who knows where by a designated couple of townsfolk, but the relatives of the family or friends were never told 'where'.
One day, however, the woman noticed something out over at the town council building. A door slightly ajar which had always been securely shut before. With no one watching her, she began to creep down, down, down a stairway only dimly lit by torches. Then, once she hit the bottom, her foot bumped into something, and she looked down after grabbing a torch off the wall.
...Can you guess what it might have been, o' Rabbit?

They watch his expression carefully as he shares, giving a smile as he continues. So mystery oooh. ]
Maybe it's the prone body of a princess? [ Teasing a bit. ] What was it?
no subject
...Dirt.
It was a whole mound of dirt. Then there were more and more as far as the eye can see. As if maybe makeshift graves.
She then could also hear voices...asking her to come and save them. It was afterwards that she saw hands suddenly reach out from each one of these mounds, pleading for her to come and dig them out! Of course she did what any sane person would do and ran back up the stairs.
...Only to find the door was closed shut. She heard footsteps coming behind her. With each passing second, the sound increased as she fought with the door, trying to open it!
Right when she was certain to hear something close in, the young woman managed to knock the door down and make her escape. But when she turned back? The door was closed shut, as if it had never been open in the first place.
The young woman decided not to ever traverse past that door again, and even moved one from her hometown, never to return.
As for herself? She disappeared from the town, never to be heard from again. Her whereabouts? Unknown to this day. But maybe, just maybe...she joined the rest of those folks down there. Who can say?
[ wehe ]
So, what'd you think of that?
