YOUR GUIDE TO EASY HAUNTINGS
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!

WHERE: I can’t find a good top level for this, but basically this would be in Satsuki’s room’s bathroom shower.
WHAT: Chris runs the shower, fogging up the bathroom mirror so she can draw a crude hint: a crude stick drawing in Satsuki’s own image, frowning, with a shadowy blob coming off its back a la the ones currently stuck to living characters. Chris will then pass out and have to be returned to the pool to recharge.
no subject
WHERE: right here
WHAT: Kana is going to grab the pen and draw a mushroom then cross it out, along with an arrow pointing to it and DANGER in big letters.
If Hatsune asks for a hint on who it is, Kana is going to draw a terrible self portrait with her hat looking way too big.
no subject
WHERE: Here, she has to go back to her room at some point? Varric being there is the important part.
WHAT: Let's give Varric ghost-scritchies. The vision here is Hawke finding him clearly enjoying headpats and ear scratches from something invisible sitting on Vanity's bed. She is telling no one about this.
no subject
WHERE: https://rosenblumhall.dreamwidth.org/6503.html?thread=2669415#cmt2669415
WHAT: Real Automatic Writing Hours. Since she hasn't asked anything specific yet, Kohaku's message for the time being will just be "Hatsune" "here" and then a basic doodle of a smiley face wearing a bow.
no subject
WHERE: https://rosenblumhall.dreamwidth.org/6503.html?thread=2669415#cmt2669415
WHAT: anthy is going to fully ignore hatsune's question SORRY GIRLY. line separation included, if that's okay:
"yr bax
hangs on
BAD"
UNDERLINE UNDERLINE UNDERLINE
no subject
WHERE: here
WHAT: Lottie will open Thomasin's bible to 1 Corinthians 16:13: "Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong." Her focus will be getting the right page, but if she's able to, Lottie will also try to squeeze her shoulder, which I'm guessing will just feel kind of cold.
no subject
WHERE: Here either once she actually goes into her room or elsewhere in the building on a convenient frosty window because I don't trust the former is a sure thing
WHAT: Either fogging the mirror or using the possible convenient window and trying to write out "DON'T TRUST MOTIVE" and a little angry frowny face
no subject
WHERE: https://rosenblumhall.dreamwidth.org/6503.html?thread=2709095#cmt2709095
WHAT: TURN THE FUCKING COMPUTER ON. JUMPSCARE
no subject
WHERE: https://rosenblumhall.dreamwidth.org/7162.html?thread=2834426#cmt2834426 the vote
WHAT: as soon as she picks up the pen, anthy will try to write TRUST
no subject
WHERE: The afterparty
WHAT: Kana is just going to hug Satsuki from behind, resting her head on her back so that she can guess who it is. She draws a heart with her finger between Satsuki's shoulder blades.
"I know you can't hear me, but I'm glad you're not dead. Love you, dummy."

WHAT: “boo :)” out of veggies
no subject
WHERE: no toplevel that I can see - will be wherever the fuck hawke is on Tuesday morning at 3:00 a.m.
WHAT: okay. anthy is gonna try really, really hard to extend her battery life in ANY WAY POSSIBLE, so she's throwing all the spaghetti at the wall. since late Saturday (!!!) evening, she has been following hawke around and interacting as much as she can without using a ton of energy with Chu-chu (returning to the pool as necessary, of course). she is going to use her connections to hawke, Chu-chu, the letter she left for hawke, extended time spent in their presence more or less contemplating them and getting a good idea of Hawke's state of mind (bad!), and the power of the witching hour to communicate at least a few sentences to Hawke before having to quit.
ultimate goal: use the letter as an alphabet source and Chu-chu as a self-propelling planchette to make an easy breezy low-energy personalized ouija board.
first step: at 3:00 a.m. precisely, Chu-chu will bite Hawke's finger at approximately 75% Rat Power, which is a lot but not enough to require a shot or sever a digit. (don't fuck with rats.)
edit: if this needs to be tweaked in any way or is utterly impossible, please let me know! happy to adjust.
edit edit: forgot to say, but she will also try to save energy by having Chu-chu indicate whole words instead of letter by letter if that word is on the note she wrote to hawke. she is Trying Hard
no subject
Whatever the answer, this is a very creative haunt that I'm looking forward to fulfilling. Please also let us know what sentences Anthy is trying to get through. :>
no subject
edit: also fine with whenever it happens oocly, see above timey wimey flexibility
will get the sentences to you when it's not 3 am for ME o7 my power is not at its peak
no subject
my power is also not at its peak as evident by forgetting to say: NO WORRIES ON THE SENTENCES AS WELL. Get them to me when you're able!
no subject
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
no subject
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.
no subject
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
no subject
Would you like to keep the whole initial message?
no subject
no subject
WHERE: here
WHAT: Hatsune's going to just pluck the strings on one of her guitars a couple of times without picking it up from wherever it's sitting.
no subject
WHERE: here, on doomcoming (on the base of the stairs prompt)
WHAT: Lottie will try to drape a stoned Hawke in her own cape like it's a blankie :)
no subject
WHERE: here
WHAT: Dorothy will try her best to write a message with the provided pen and sketchpad: "MISS YOU. GOOD LUCK.", signed with a small heart shape and, if she can manage it, the basic shape of this pendant.
If that doesn't drain her too much, she would also like to try getting across a touch of Dagr's hand, as if interlacing her fingers with theirs.
no subject
WHERE: here
WHAT: As Mariko is getting ready in Room A-1, Dorothy will use a little energy to be a second set of hands fixing and adjusting her hair, maybe straightening her bow for her. When Mariko's done (or pauses for any reason), Dorothy will gently stroke her cheek with one hand and kiss her on the forehead.
no subject
WHERE: also here but like, once Dorothy leaves
WHAT: One last mirror message for the road, "DON'T MISS YOUR CHANCE" (or "DNT MSS UR CHNCE" if that's too much) and a little pair of stick figures dancing
only the most important and serious hauntings here
no subject
WHERE: https://rosenblumhall.dreamwidth.org/7953.html?thread=3100177#cmt3100177
WHAT: just a brief hand squeeze. anthy will try regardless but please ignore if for ic or ooc reasons this would not work :|b
