resumed | HAPPY HALLOWEEN BITCHES 🎃

code

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.

Oh, well. Movies is kind of fun... and this one isn't scary at all.

[ That's lovely. Who put a pumpkin head on him. I won't answer, I'm just making it happen. ]

[

pokes a finger into one of the eye carvings ]

This is rude.

[ But he doesn't react because the mystery is funnier. ]

[ well if it's not hurting mr. pumpkinhead...

pokes deeper. when will he hit something solid, and will it be eyeball? or pumpkin guts? ]

[ Neither because he's leaning back when he keeps trying it anyway. ]

What is wrong with you!

[ recoils, pulling his hand out entirely and to himself ]

Ghastly gourds! Is it really so dastardly devious to want to know more about your peculiar pumpkin head?!

Wh --

[ If you could see his face he would be whitemanblinking.gif right now because he is so shook. ]

...Are you cursed again, Danny?

[ sourly: ] Yes.

[ wait a minute, now that he's thinking about that voice-- ] ...Ryuki?

[ I hope that reaction was in Vlad's voice specifically btw. ]

Yes...

[ In the voice of a man tired of getting weirdly clowned every single week, not at Danny. ]

[ looming over him and just letting this happen. ]

Figured we'd start easy mode with something light. Can you actually see out of that thing?

[ He's accepted his lot in life that things just happen to him. If Pumpkin got added to his name, it would merely be another in an already overlong list. ]

Yeah, don't worry. Though I guess it's kind of putting some triangle-shaped dampeners on the whole peripheral vision thing, but I'll take it over only having vision out of my right eye.

[ Since he got his eye fixed and now has full vision again. ]

[ please help him. begging. ]

On the bright side there isn't much that could actually come up on you without warning as long as you're sitting in one spot. Angle your head a little and you could still see enough. [ he does not suggest taking the head off for some reason. honestly i would also respect if you just decided this was his monster form in general lowe. anyway. ]

Glad you can see the silver lining in all of this though. [ hehe. ] And I am glad you showed up.

[ No. ]

Well, I can hardly say no... [ He's decently social. That and Tama would find him and force him here otherwise. ] I'm just glad to see everyone having a good time.

[ Meanwhile Hanako just Terminator visioning him ready to pinata his ass. ]

[ it's true, nico and tama had a whole public discussion about bullying ryuki here. ]

You and me both. I'll probably never really be a party person, but something like this always seems to be a good idea. Especially when we know how the rest of the week's bound to go.

At least there's some... things, that we know now, that hopefully are keeping everybody at ease.

[ He honestly feels kind of weird to party during a time like this too, but it could be worse. People could be partying in like. W3. Looks into camera who would do that. ]

It helps, right? [ thoughtfully. ] I was hoping...Sunday was a good thing for everyone who wanted to know. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was better.

[ puts a little bat decoration on his pumpkin and wanders off ]

Edited 2023-11-01 07:04 (UTC)

[ Pats at it to try to find it and peels it off to look at it. ]

[ he has a bat friend now. just a little guy. it looks more like a fuzzy circle with wings but it’s still Cute ]

[ Can he hear the movie over the hum of air keeping Godz*illa expanded? They are going to plop down on the couch ]

Are you scared of scary movies?

Oh, uh... not... well, I'm not sure. I haven't really watched a lot of them.

Do you want to give it a try after this one?

Sure. Which one do you want to watch?

Which one looks really scary? They all seem to have guys with funny faces. [ Look at Freddy and Mike Meyers ]

I heard these are American classics... is that a horse?

[ Looking in the more modern collection where there isn't so much iconic horror faces but NOPE is there. I guess the Freddy Krueger of this generation is Art the Clown but uh, that movie is legitimately super gross (like gore and violence wise), so let's not. ]

Japan has Sadako, from the Ring. And the girl from the Grudge. They're pretty old movies though, and I feel like old movies aren't as scary to us, in a "when you look back" kind of sense.
