EVENT LOG: BURY A FRIEND


EVENT LOG:
BURY A FRIEND


characters: everyone.
location: around town.
date/time: october 9-17.
content: the hallucinations begin...
warnings: psychological horror. please cw tags appropriately.

it's probably something that shouldn't be said out loud

October 9 feels like a normal day at first, save for the red lighthouse beam cutting through the darkness overhead. You know by now—or you've heard—that the lighthouse is only active during ferry arrivals and events... And there's definitely no ferry docked at the, er. Beach. The town is quiet, the forest spirits behave business-as-usual, Rastus doesn't know what's up. Whatever's going on, you'll have to figure it out for yourself.

And you will, though the hallucinations are subtle at first: objects moving when they shouldn't, people's proportions looking just a bit off, voices in an empty room, and so on. Is it just your mind playing tricks in the darkness? Might be! Will did warn you all about the effects of living without a sun and a proper day/night cycle.

As the days go on, the hallucinations are harder to ignore, no matter how much you may wish to wave them off as flukes. What's wrong with everyone's faces? When did all the howling start? Who do you hold onto when the world drops out from under you? And those hands...

While you might know it can't be real, it certainly feels real. But at least it can't last forever!

...Right?

There is. Something after this, Ambrose.

[ He's not sure he's going to like it, though. Depending on how much of a Satanist he is, he supposes. But it's rude to assume such things about a witch. But he certainly wouldn't like Heaven, and Aziraphale isn't about to encourage anyone to try and get into Hell. ]

We make it out of here, and I promise to help you get where you should be.

Why would you offer that? ( but, he knows how that sounds and before aziraphale can say anything, he waves a hand. ) Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the offer but won't you have to get where you want to be?

( shouldn't that be his main goal? )

I'm sure I can find the way myself. I've always been good with directions.
lunchbreaks: (another starry night like this)

[personal profile] lunchbreaks 2019-11-09 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, technically, yes.

[ But it was kind of his job to help people get where they were going in death. But really his job to do it while they were alive. ]

I can afford a small detour.

You say that now but Greendale's quite the party town. You might see it and never want to leave.

( greendale wasn't a bad town but it wasn't a party town. at all. )

We've got a mine. It's a happening place.

[personal profile] lunchbreaks 2019-11-09 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Something tells me I won't want to spend time in a mine after this, no matter how nice the party is.

Though I appreciate the invitation.
necromantiae: (SEVENTY SEVEN)

[personal profile] necromantiae 2019-11-09 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
We'll see if Greendale is still standing by the time I make it back.

( considering sabrina and the witch hunters, ambrose isn't sure that'll happen. )

It might just be a smoking hole in the ground.
lunchbreaks: (this lovely day has flown away)

[personal profile] lunchbreaks 2019-11-10 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I've been to some quite astounding parties in my day, and I do have to wonder what in the world you are doing at your parties, Ambrose.
necromantiae: (SEVENTY)

[personal profile] necromantiae 2019-11-10 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, just having a little fun.

( a lot of fun. )

But don't worry, I'll invite you next time.
lunchbreaks: (you say lord i say christ)

[personal profile] lunchbreaks 2019-11-10 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, it would certainly be rude of me to decline. I'll clear out my schedule.
necromantiae: (ONE HUNDRED SIX)

[personal profile] necromantiae 2019-11-10 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Excellent. I'll make sure it proves worthwhile.

( somehow. it had been awhile since the manor had seen a party. )

Now, we just have to get there at some point in the future.
lunchbreaks: (another starry night like this)

[personal profile] lunchbreaks 2019-11-11 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, well. We'll all have to work on that one together.

Do you need me to stay with you a bit until you're settled?
necromantiae: (FORTY FOUR)

[personal profile] necromantiae 2019-11-11 12:43 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I'm all right.

( you've done more than enough, aziraphale. more than he deserves. )

Thanks for everything. I owe you.
lunchbreaks: (there is nothing we can do)

[personal profile] lunchbreaks 2019-11-11 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
It's no problem, Ambrose. Please do take care of yourself.

[ He looks so worried. ]
