[OPEN] Dreams & Ghosts
Who: Mayaka & you !
What: 2 open prompts (reviewing dreams from last month + attempting to get over her fear of ghosts) and wildcard option
Where: Around Bottlecay Bay + Skull Town
When: Beginning of Feb
Warnings: none atm a. dream review
Perhaps you're passing through the Archives, or the living hall in Skull Town when you spot a Sneasel sitting at a table furiously scrawling out various drawings on paper. Mayaka's gloves have been set aside neatly beside her for now, because she finds it easier to hold onto the charcoal pencils using her bare claws. She's experienced some weird dreams from last month. Though she doesn't remember the exact details, she's been dutifully drawing out the images that lingered in her mind upon waking up. Now, it's time to try to make sense of them. On the table you'll find the following drawings:
1. What appears to be a spaceship, though Mayaka's drawn it to look more like a truck with four wheels underneath.
2. A primordial-looking fish creature. She has given it a pair of cute, anime-sized eyes to make it look more approachable.
3. A black cat with an extra pair of eyes on its stomach. More cat-like than Mimikyu at this point.
4. The drawing she's currently working on, and struggling to capture. She's trying to remember what the alien beings in the final big nightmare looked like, though the large and erratic shapes on paper may not look recognisable to anyone. Mayaka is finding it difficult because she doesn't have an image in mind to associate with what she saw in the nightmare.
She's too caught up with this to notice if someone were to approach...
b. how to deal with ghosts
If you're wandering around Bottlecap Bay, you'll find Mayaka outside her house in the Lum Berry housing area, rooted on the spot.
Her attention is focused on a small clay sculpture she's placed in the garden of her front porch. It's a little handmade ghost figurine with a hairbow on its head. While it might look strangely cute, the more you look at it, the more you'll notice that it's two eyes seem to be gazing directly at you with an unblinking Stare™.
This is the ghost that's been chasing her in her dreams, but she's too scared to get rid of it! (Also, the fact that it was a gift to her from Catrina doesn't help!)
The Sneasel is shaking a little, and it's not from the cold weather. She's standing a safe distance away from the figurine, muttering to herself: "It's just a doll... it's just a dolll..."
(Dolls are creepy too, though??)
c. wildcard!
for any other threads or ideas that come up!
no subject
That's what you told me over the Grumpearl! [She places Emporio back down on the doorstep, beginning to calm down even though her voice remains tense and alert.]
no subject
[Somehow, he's been shaken to his senses! ...Maybe? Maybe.]
...But that's...what you told me?
1/2
2/2
Ah... ahCHOO!
no subject
[ ...AAAAH THE SNEEZE-]
AHH-!!! We- we need to get you inside, why didn't you put a coat on..!!
no subject
[She trails off, still confused, but doesn't resist when Emporio ushers her inside.]
Sorry for intruding. Is Anasui around too?
no subject
Anasui?
...He's in bed, any way. It's a little late, and with the cold weather he's been pretty keen on making sure I'm not outside too long...
[Probably not a bad idea. Still!!]
...I probably would've been followed by him if I hadn't put everything on before going outside, but...it also seems like neither of us were in any danger..?
[he's so confused...]
no subject
Then, who was it that we saw on our Grumpearls?
[Thinking hat on, Mayaka!]
It must be someone else who owns a Grumpearl, and is able to mimic us? They must know us personally too, since they knew how we sounded like and our speech patterns.
they should def 'corner' flowey in a quest together after this ghjkfhg
It's like peeling a potato...]
...I don't know who can mimic though...but you're right that they'd have to know us to fool us that well I think.
[He likes to believe they're tricky to fool after all.]
yessssssss
[Mayaka pauses, replaying her own words in her head. This was definitely a prank, right? What else could it be? A concerning prank, given the nature of it.]
Ignore what I said, Rio-chan. I think what we should be asking is: who here likes pranking?
Im losin it he rolled a 7,
[Emporio thinks about it. He gives it an honest shot, matter of fact!
There's an unexpected problem he faces however, as he goes through the list.
....
It's the fact he has a list at all.] Uh....I...I might know too many to pin it down, s..so if someone's coming to mind right away...
[Emporio, your standards!!]
help
Are you always getting pranked on by others? Let me know who they are and I'll talk to them.
[She intends to march up to them and verbally thrash them until they promise to leave this little Cubone alone!]
wow sounds just like flowey- (Also Andrea's down for using the 'Going Up' quest for this if you are)
[That doesn't sound very believable, but then again, Emporio is likable.]
I just think a lot of people would prank...others..?
1/2 (yes I am !!)
Let's start with who we know, and who's likely to do something like this. There's Shoka-chan, but she seems to be the kind that would reveal herself immediately to laugh at us once we fall for the prank. That leaves...
[Just the other day, didn't a certain brat spook her outside her own house with a scary face?]
2/2
...
... Flowey.
no subject
Flowey???
[Said with clear shock, but a shock that doesn't last long- given even a second to think about it after all, oh. Oh.]
....Flowey.
[Yyyyyyep that sounds right actually.]
no subject
[Mayaka turns to Emporio with a stern glare.]
Rio-chan, I'm going to give him a piece of my mind once I find him.
no subject
[Emporio just feels tired, in the way that he's pretty sure only adults are supposed to feel. Ah.]
...Is that going to even do anything? I feel like that's part of the fun for people who like pranks...
no subject
[Mayaka crosses her arms tightly as she takes a moment to think.]
In that case, let's give him a taste of his own medicine and prank him back.
no subject
Prank him back...?
[As someone who's never really known pranks until this year, he's a little lost.]
....How though?
nice, we can wrap this and start a new thread ?
We'll need to find a good time to get back at him.
Heck yeah we can, Andreas setting up the starter !
[That's more than what he's got, but he sounds hopeful, so...]
...Lay it on me. I bet I can find a good posting on the questboard we can work with..!
[What a night of plotting, Flowey has wrought...]
