It's too cold for you here

[shamelessness]

Who: Residents of House 15, and YOU
What: Bonfire Party
When: Oct. 20th
Where: At the Red Dot
Summary: Their Pool Party didn't rope anyone to live with them so Rin and Shiemi are hosting a bonfire party as a second attempt
Rating: S for SPOOKY (2spooky)[No worse than PG-13 I suspect?)

As the sun begins to set Rin and Shiemi set up for the party. A table is spread out with s'mores ingredients as well as weenies for roasting. Shiemi happened to pick up bonfire skewers for everyone's convenience (and for anyone who is too afraid of germs for wooden sticks). The fire pit is properly prepared, along with wooden logs for seats. The set up is visible by the road, so feel free to drop in! Not only that, but costumes are encouraged! This will be Shiemi's.

There will be a couple header comments, but feel free to make your own.

Scary Stories

[hero_of_smiles]

[The Halloween month would not be complete without a ceremonious spooky story circle around the fire. Only log seats are provided unless you brought your own chair. Get your blankets and flash lights cause it's about to get scary tonight.

(ooc: You can start your own scary story in this thread or hop into others telling their stories. All in all you don't have to wait for a person to finish up their story to start your own, but icly the order the stories are posted in will be the order of how they're told.]

Story #1

[hero_of_smiles]

Cross leaned in close to the fire, looking at all those who stayed for the best thing ever of any bonfire. Ghost stories. When it seemed like a good chunk of people were sitting around the fire, the teenager laced his fingers together, a sinister (if not over the top) smirk spreading on his face.

"Good evening one and all. I'm Cross Blanchard and I'll be starting off this little night of horror."

He takes a breath, his face illuminated in the fire as a dark and thoughtful expression crosses his face. "This one I heard back home in my world. Apparently this guy I knew from school knew the girl involved in this weird accident. Or what was called an accident."

"You see, there was this little girl. She had a relatively normal life. A mom and a dad, both pretty loving and attentive and worked really hard. The girl didn't have a care in the world, except...she always felt like she was being watched."

"Most of the time she would just ignore that feeling, pretend it wasn't there. But other times, it was so strong she could swear there was someone breathing on her neck. Even when no one was there."

....

[Kanji did not really care for ghost stories, but no way was he going to be a chump and say he was scared. Because he wasn't, dammit!

And if Cross was trying to creep him out, he was a million years too late. Izanami-no-Ookami had already done that like three months ago.

Still didn't mean he was comfortable with it.]

Okay, so what was it?

Re: Story #1

[hero_of_smiles]

"She didn't know. All she knew was it was just something. Something that was there and then wasn't.

But she did what she would always do. Ignore it. That was probably her worst mistake. Because on a very stormy night something happened.

The Mother had to go in to work that night because of an urgent meeting, so it was just the girl and her father.

The girl had just been watching TV that night before bed when she felt it. The creeping sensation along her skin, chilled breath on her neck and icy like fingers touching it.

It was different this time though. She heard a voice. And it said:"

And in the most raspiest voice Cross could muster he spoke "'Hello little one. Why don't we play a game together? It's called Lets trade Eyes for Awhile."

[sewdamncute]

[Nope. Noping out of this story right now. Watch him stand up and walk away. Yep. That's the answer to this problem.]

[hero_of_smiles]

"KANJI GET BACK HERE!" And watch as Cross goes out and grabs him by the arm. "Sit down and listen! I'm not even at the good part yet you big scaredey cat!"

Story #2?

[shamelessness]

U-um I'm not sure if this is scary enough, but... I over heard this walking by the academy before.

A girl was leaving her room, which was on the second floor, to go to the kitchen on the first. Her mother's bedroom happened to be just down the hall passed the steps. Before reaching the first step she heard her mother call out to her, "Makoto, come in here." She was just about to do so when she heard her mother's voice again. This time from downstairs.

"Makoto, I heard that! Don't go in there!"
She faced a dilemma. Which one was the demon? If she chose wrong, it would eat her.

[junesprince]

[Well, that escalated quickly!]

How did she know it would eat her?

[shamelessness]

I'm not sure! It's most likely it would kill her, but I'm not sure how humans taste to demons.

[sewdamncute]

Er, how'd she know it was a demon though? I mean, what if it was just a house intruder?

[shamelessness]

I'm not sure many house intruders would sound identical to someone's mother...

Story #3 (I regret nothing)

[linefacingforever]

Scary stories, hunh? Anything that happened in the TV world could be considered that, but he didn't want to say anything that would upset his friends. He was pretty sure telling the tale of the ragingly homosexual shadow that wanted acceptance, or the pretty pink princess that wanted to escape from her home would not go over very well.

He paused a moment as heads turned to him, wondering if he'd break out with a story or remain silent as he mulled over what to say. Finally, Yu gave a nod, mostly to himself, settling forward a bit.

"My name is Yu Narukami," he began, "and I can tell you the story of The Long Nose."

Igor would kill him, he really would...

"About a year ago, a young man was riding by himself on a train, heading to a relative's house. It was a long ride, and he fell asleep; but when he woke up, he wasn't on the train any more. He was surrounded by blue, nothing but blue..."

Story #3 (Better not regret nothing)

[hero_of_smiles]

Cross tilted his head to the side. Not exactly SPOOKY yet, but that's how most stories like this started off. "Isn't that just a dream though? Doesn't seem all that scary."

Sorry, Yu. He must question how scary this thing might actually get.

[linefacingforever]

Yu shook his head. "It wasn't a dream, at least, not in the same sense that people normally have dreams. This blue place was somewhere in his own soul, along with those that resided in it..."

[hero_of_smiles]

That was a bit weird. Not spooky yet, but weird. "Uh...huh. Okaaaay...so what happened next?"

[hollower]

Yeah, the title of this story is already a little unnerving. Perona clutches her mug of hot cocoa tightly, and her lips thin into a very fine line. She's sure the story's not about the Long-Nose she knows, but it's the first thing to come to mind, and fills her with a deep, rooted hatred. Ugh, there better not be any bugs in this story or she may just pass out or something. Nrrgh, bad memories...

At the least she does seem interested, and is listening to the story. Given that she's already asking questions about it.

"Blue? Like the ocean?" Good lord, that'd be horrible...a train that leads you down into the depths of the ocean - it's like a real nightmare for a devil fruit user like her.

[linefacingforever]

Yu paused to think about that. "Yeah... well, more like the darker parts of the ocean, deep down where you still have some light, but everything is in a dim haze."

The Velvet Room wasn't exactly what he'd describe as bright after all.

[hollower]

O-Oh...that hushes Perona up a little, and she fidgets nervous. That'd be true horror, just sinking and sinking down into a place that just gets darker and darker like that...struggling to get back up but it's no use. Just watching the light slink away, out of reach.

A shiver creeps uper her spine and she nods her head. "That sounds awful." Go on.

[iwannabethegai]

Shu thinks it's fun to spend time this way. He listened to the story wondering how it ends.

"How was he so sure that he wasn't on the train anymore? Did he make a stop somewhere?"

It's not really scary, yet. He can only wait for the story to unfold.

"What does this have to do with a long nose?"

[linefacingforever]

Yu shook his head. "No, there was no way they could have stopped. It was a direct train, and they were hours away still."

[iwannabethegai]

"No way! You're kidding." That's strange, Shu won't deny that.

"What did he see after? Was there a ghost?"

Story #4

[iwannabethegai]

Something Shu considers scary is Gai Tsutsugami. After hearing some of the other stories, he thinks this one might get their attention. Gai is now a scary story.

"There's a story I want to tell you all.

One day, a little boy came from the sea. No one knew who he was and he didn't have a name.

Ten years later, the little boy grew up into a man with many faces. He wasn't the same, cute child anymore. He became a vengeful ghost, threatening to kill everyone who disobeys him. What do you think happened to him?"

[shamelessness]

[Shiemi listens attentively, and with wide eyes.]

I- I dunno! What could have changed him in those ten years?

[iwannabethegai]

He was possessed by a spirit for ten long years!

And he might even be standing here with us today. [Just to add some spooky to it, but no really Shu's only talking about Gai.]

Jumping into this! Hope that's okay!

[hero_of_smiles]

[Wow, okay that's a little spooky.]

A-aw come on, Shu. I really doubt anyone like that is in Luceti.
