[mingle, backdated to Wednesday] What always ends in bloodshed begins as just a game

[madgiganticfeelings]

[So that certainly was a little afternoon adventure, wasn't it? Those hanging around the ballroom might have noticed two absolutely drenched teen girls just... appear out of the floor, shivering and shell shocked. Christine, once they get on solid ground, pretty much falls to her knees to just... stare into space for a minute.

What is this week, honestly?

But as crazy as this all is, Christine knows they have to talk about this with everyone, as soon as possible. So once she helps Nana find some dry clothes and has a little destressing session with The Dads (TM), she's pinning up a note in the hallway.]

Time for another meeting! Nana and I will meet you all in the ballroom around 7. A lot happened these last few days that we need to discuss. Refreshments will be provided, but bring something if you like!

[Christine will be in the ballroom in her Juliet dress (sadly, her cloak is still in the dryer), holding her binder and a weird old flip phone. Hopefully, this goes at least a little more smoothly than past gatherings!]

((Feel free to make prompts before or during the meeting, depending on if you're unlucky enough to see the gals ascending from the trapdoor. I'll be making a few comments myself to cover all the conversation topics. Have fun!))

Comments

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh someone contacted me? On the computer. And said. Well, I thought. It seemed like bullshit? But uh. Part of it was. Was a warning? That things were gonna get. Get weird.

......Byyyyy any chance was this someone a certain eccentric “friend” of ours?

[ she’s kinda. connecting the dots. ]

[justmeheere]

No, uh. Why. Why would you think that! It's. It's forbidden to, uh. Summon. Summon demons.

[He laughs nervously.]

[musacal]

Awww he’s not a demon. He’s just a weirdo!

[ PLEASE.... ]

[justmeheere]

No, pretty sure. Well. I mean. I've never seen the. The musical that apparently exists? But you know. He's definitely. Definitely some kind of. Of supernatural thingie.

[heathencall]

[He will... spare you from this hell.]

After asking Jeremy what a -- why... fy... password is, I put his name in three times. He... Appeared on the computer.

[You know, just in case anyone wanted to know why one of the computers looked like trash.]

He spoke to both Jeremy and I. To me he mentioned... hysteria, cats and dogs and [Oh right, the important part.]

Human sacrifice

[mcfife]

[Angus leans back in shock.]

Is all this an arcane ritual of sacrifice?!

[justmeheere]

Hysteria, cats and dogs, human sacrifice. Hysteria, cats and dogs, human sacrifice .............. ECTO-COOLER!

[I am so sorry my character has so much information and so little ability to coherently communicate it.]

[heathencall]

What

[justmeheere]

It's. I mean. God, why can't he just. Just say shit! [Jeremy sighs.] It's a movie reference.

[heathencall]

... He was making a mockery of me.

[Oh man. Oh man does he look pissed.]

I ought to summon him now, just to punch him back to whatever abyss he occupies.

[isawallflower]

NO ONE IS SUMMONING THE DEMON ANYMORE.

[ She's Officially Done ]

[likemypicture]

Whatever happened to sacrificing goats, or other animals?

[madgiganticfeelings]

Do you think this is what this is? Human sacrifice? That's, that's crazy.

[Super crazy and ridiculous! Not even worth entertaining that someone could be that evil!]

cw: human sacrifice talk? idek anymore

[heathencall]

It would depend on what sort of sacrfice. Certainly not blood -- too much has been spilled indiscriminately for the Phantom to be actively trying to harvest it.

He could believe that our souls are going toward whatever his goal is?

[madgiganticfeelings]

That's a possibility... but don't you think he'd have to do all the killing to actually be able to use us?

[It's how it works in the movies! ...She thinks. She doesn't watch a lot of scary movies.]
