An All Hallows' Haunting

.. man we suck

[x] Start from last save

Guess this means we have to leave Saxima.

 

Well I can now see that we failed when we listened to Vivi and when we let Neku use up all our matches. There's no saving Saxima anymore. Which is in itself a pretty bad end. If you two had this whole thing planned out, I would still like to continue playing, regardless if it's past Halloween.

Also new game.

 

Maybe she'll be okay ;~;

 

And I'm a premium. XD Unless Saxima's packing some kind of secret ability to repel demonic mists that steal away your life's breath, that not even SHE knew about, I think she'd be a goner if we left her. And I'd rather not leave her, but we all know what happens then. Unless using her as a temporary shield stuns the statues long enough for us to break for it. Also, seriously Saxima? That light? Or are we just strong? XD

But... I don't want to kill Saxima... ;~;

 

>> ◉ Note! It is PASSED Halloween! To make up for the 2-3 days where there were no updates, we'll give you guys a three day extension for the surprises/reward.

Krowley takes a deep breath and steps in to help. Quiet, yet dependable, he steps up onto the first platforms and hoists Neku up by his legs. Neku wastes no time opening up the matchbox. He brings one match to the side of the box and swiftly drags the top along the rough surface. With a quiet hiss, the tip bursts into a vivid flame.
|| Neku ||
「YES!!! I THINK I have got a good FLAME going here! I was a little WORRIED at first because of all of this MIST, but I THINK I can light this thing now! Oh, guys, this reminds me of my LAST BIRTHDAY PARTY. They bought me some of those FAKE CANDLES that would NOT BLOW OUT--no joke! No matter how hard I tried, I just COULD NOT blow them out. My FAMILY thought it was funny but I WAS A LITTLE ANNOYED--」
Neku suddenly yelps as the flame goes out against his finger tips. He flicks the wasted match away into one of the holes and lights another. You're eyes widen in disbelief as he, despite various members of your group shouting at him to focus, continues to ramble on. He wastes8/10 of yourmatchsticks. You want to cry.
Krowley quietly lowers Neku before he can light another match, taking the matchbox away from him calmly and stepping onto the final and highest statue himself. With his height, he manages to bring the 9th match up to the first candle. The chandelier lights. The flame is rapid, forming a full circle all around and lighting the room dimly.
You turn off your flashlight now that it's unneeded. Krowley steps down from the statues and brushes some dust off of his shoulder.

「It doesn't seem like anything has changed?」
You begin to think you shouldn't have trusted Vivi. The room remains the same for a few moments longer. ...And then you hear it. A loud, high pitched, deafening SCREEEEEEEEEECH, followed by an insane laughter. Saxima begins to whimper and tremble. You yourself feel your breath catch in your throat. What in the world? Even Krowley seems more alert than usual. You all move close to one another as the room begins to rattle violently. Dust tumbles down from the ceiling and you cover your head instinctively.
A heavy, grating sound turns your attention back to the statues. It seems their heads have reappeared somehow. The display is frightening; hazy stone faces with dead black eyes set right on you. You stumble back in horror and their faces twist and contort, the stone dragging against the flooring and inching close and close to you.
|| Vivi ||
「What the hell!? What is this?」
Saxima is frozen and for once, Neku is dead silent. Misty's eyes are wide as she struggles to find some sort of logical explanation. The closer they get, the more desperate you feel. What can you do? Throw your flashlight? Maybe this is a nightmare? Should you blow out the candles? They can't possibly hurt you, can they?
The air becomes thicker and then a loud CRASH rips your attention back to the chandelier--or, where it used to be. You watch as it falls straight down like a bolder into water, crashing loudly into the floor beneath you. The statues continue to inch closer. The closer they get, the weaker you begin to feel--almost as if something is being drawn from you. Your essence--your soul. Their heads twitch and spin madly. The floorboards give out beneath the chandelier and a thick white mist bubbles up like smoke from the gaping hole. You feel nauseous.
|| Misty ||
「WE HAVE TO GO, NOW! THERE'S NO TIME, THIS ISN'T GOOD!」
For once, you all agree. Neku runs back towards the entrance, but it's locked. The only other option is the hole. You all hastily make your way towards the leaking center of the foyer. On the way there, Saxima collapses. She was closest to the statues. They laugh sharply--a demonic sound piercing through your skull. Everyone else keeps moving. The statues inch nearer...

[ ] Go back for Saxima and then escape through the hole.

You look at the hole. The other party members seem to be jumping down into its dark, misty depths with a frightened speed. Misty grabs you by the sleeve and tries pulling you into the hole. She screams that there is no time, but is interrupted by one of the statues' horrific cries. You hear Saxima cry out for the party, but her voice becomes dampened by the mist. Misty pulls you down into the hole and you fall together.

You are unable to hear Saxima's airy voice, or the wails of the statue, as you and Misty, holding onto your sleeve, descend further in the foggy blackness. The mist seems to press against your head, and you slowly become dazed. The wind grows louder in your ears.

You hit the ground with a thud, with Misty falling on top of you. The mist has made you a bit lethargic, and has given you a headache, but Misty appears fine enough to get up with a huff.

It is here you realize that the entire room seems to be completely dark and filled with an extremely thick, cloudy mist. A waterfall-like blurt of white noise emanates from it, as if the room were busy with chatting people. Sometimes you swear you hear words from these noises. You cannot tell anymore if this is simply your mind playing tricks on you. You are unable to see anyone or anything in the room right now. You reach out for Misty, but instead you hear a familiar voice:

|| Vivi ||
「We- we were waiting for you, you stupid fresh meat! Do you think we can- we can dance around in the dark in a place like this?!」
You notice that Vivi's voice has lost a large amount of its confidence, and seems very shaken.

You rise, but you cut a bit of your hand on a shard of glass. It probably dropped from the chandelier down into the hole. Your hand is now bleeding, and you may be leaving a trail.

You surreptitiously add the glass shard to your inventory. It may come in handy later.
