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?

[Jason accepts the offered hand and pulls himself back to his feet.]

True. Bruises I can walk off.

[Technically he'd walked off a few broken bones as well in the past, but that was also with a nice heaping dose of ambrosia and in the middle of battle with adrenaline pumping.]

Yeah, good idea. Especially if they can appear and disappear like that...

[Jason wasn't planning on going back up into the tree, but Ignis had a point about maybe clearing the area and leaving well enough alone.]

We should find some of the others...see if they've seen anything similar.

[Back when he was alive, he had potions that could handle serious injuries like broken bones and concussions. Here, however, he doesn't have that luxury so he has to be extremely careful.]

Yes, [Ignis nods,] we should see if others at the Bonfire or Invincible encountered something.

[If it were any other situation, he'd suggest to look around and take down any other pranks set up by the spirits; to take them down before anyone else runs into them.]

We should keep eyes open for anything similar on our way.
