YOUR GUIDE TO EASY HAUNTINGS

[facultwist]

Hello, ghosties, how would YOU like to plan your own haunting?!

For the remaining two weeks of the game, we're introducing the haunting mechanic for the ghosts. What this means is, using the form below, you will let us know who you want to haunt and where, and we will carry this out via the mod account.

Hauntings have to be small. You're all baby ghosts, after all. Think something like ruffling hair (thanks Lottie) or moving a small object or flipping through a notebook. You can do a bunch of small things, but the more you want to do, the more your character will be out of commission after, needing to recharge in the haunted pool. Please try and limit your hauntings to two per week maximum.

A few guidelines:
- No haunting dreams
- No auditory hauntings (at least for the first week)
- Drawings are limited to stick figures and basic shapes
- No full sentences, only a few words

I (Ashley) will be handling the hauntings, so any other questions, please direct to me. Thanks!

<b>WHO</b>: Who do you want to haunt? <b>WHERE:</b> Either provide a link to a toplevel, OR if your desired living character doesn't HAVE a toplevel, just give me a location and I'll work it out. <b>WHAT:</b> What would you like this haunting to be?

okay, so please bear with me because I don't have computer access rn, so I have to post this, check a thing, then edit it.

anthy's letter to hawke does not contain the letters j, q, x, and z or any numerals (which may have been a mistake). anthy's goal is to get across the following messages:

- anthy here
- doubles grew out your backs. following you. talk about when game happen before. same deaths motives killers. talk mar. look hats room*
- twty scnd person O-
- chains at exec, you hanging

and if she has any energy left:

- angry is ok. not perfect ok. not bad.
- must rest but will stay with when energy

bold indicates whole words that exist in anthy's letter to hawke, meaning that chu-chu will only have to move one time for that word.

if hawke asks clarifying yes/no questions, chu-chu will tap either a y or an n. if hawke asks other questions, she will TRY to answer depending on how long it takes/how complex the answer is/how much energy she has, but she is gonna prioritize getting her message across.

edit: there's a toplevel for hawke now! https://rosenblumhall.dreamwidth.org/7511.html?thread=2881367#cmt2881367

* THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE HOLY SHIT ANTHY IS SO ANXIOUS ABOUT IT

[facultwist]

Most all of this is good! The only thing we'll have to veto is "same deaths motives killers" since she'll be sending this before the seance with Isabella. That's also something we'd just like them to find out in their own endgame.

Energy will run out after the "hanging" message, but a few yes/no questions can be answered, since it's just pointing to one letter.

[rosewitch]

oh, okay. I thought that came out during the post execution investigation thread? here

regardless, I'll reduce the message to just:

anthy here
doubles grew out your backs. following you. talk about when game happen before. talk mar. look hats room

[facultwist]

Oh my gosh, our apologies! We didn't remember correctly, that's on us. In that case, we'd be fine with it! We just didn't want to mix up the endgames and that one got our wires crossed.

Would you like to keep the whole initial message?

[rosewitch]

nope, that's fine! let's just go with this
