Event Log: Jumpscares

Who: All characters participating in the event!
What: The event log for the Jumpscares event
Where: All over the city!
When: May 16th-May 20th
Warnings: Some startling jumpscares, interdimensional demon cats, the usual

A dark shadow looms over Hadriel on the morning of May 16th. There's a tension in the air, something palpable, as if everything has gone still and is ready to snap. You've been waiting for the other shoe to drop for hours now, and you're getting to the point where you're starting to wish that it would just happen already so that you can stop feeling this way.

Of course, when it does happen, it's not quite like you expect.

Maybe it's a tiger leaping out of your closet, claws extended. Maybe it's a faceless slenderman, stepping out from around the corner or a monster with beak and claws ripping open your shower curtain when you're most vulnerable- but within seconds, after you've been startled half to death by the monsters, they're gone. They vanish in a puff of smoke, or dissipate into glitter, or become something silly instead for a few brief moments before disappearing entirely.

Weird. But not unendurable, I guess. The bright side is that there will also be a few demon cats that have also made their way through the door. No two cats are ever in the same location, but there seems to be enough of them to go around, though the toothy one can be a bit vicious. Still, they aren't untameable, and might make nice pets, as long as you don't mind a bloody finger or two when it's time for lunch!

► This log covers May 16th-May 20th.

[Ellie lands heavy on her butt, and at first she just assumes this is another one of those stupid jumpscares; albeit a really abstract one. Then she spots Taako, wild eyed, and puts two and two together.]

Jesus. Maybe stick to less forceful magic when there's other people around?

[Ellie pushes herself up off the ground, and attempts to scoop her frazzled hair back into her ponytail. She really has no room to talk, with the way she's been reacting to the scares.]

[He shakes out his own limbs, ridding himself of latent static.]

There's people everywhere, hombre. 'Sides, no promise you were real either.

[Ugh, there's kids here. Like honest-to-god children. It's one thing when kids put themselves in danger and another thing entirely when they're dumped in it, and there's a line there Taako's not incredibly happy this place has already crossed.

So, a little begrudgingly...]

You alright? It wasn't a crazy powerful spell or whatever.

Whatever.

[Ellie rolls her eyes, but she can't stay too mad. He's right, and he's not being an asshole about it.

Just as begrudgingly:]

Yeah, I'm fine. What about you? Those vision things suck.

[Okay, okay, she's alright, he can wipe this from his conscience. Seriously, he can't put himself in the position to start worrying about a second child. Angus isn't even here and he's already exhausting enough.]

It's no big, they're nothin'. I've been through, uh, way worse. I may not have a ton of hp but if I lost it to some fakey-fake bullshit I'd be super dead by now.

[Even if, like, technically, all of Wonderland was fakey-fake bullshit. Then again, Edward and Lydia weren't, so...]

Haven't used a lot of spells lately, so, thought it might send a message or somethin'. Hit these weird gods up with a reminder that weather exists.

HP?

[A video game fan she may be, but an actual player? Uh. Not exactly, no.]

Yeah, well. Good luck getting anything through to them. Did you know you can text them? Seriously. It's fucking weird.

Yeah, like, how many hits you can take until you're, uh, unconscious, my dude.

[Good, don't burst his bubble, he's too pretty to be fake. But honestly the more he hears about these "gods" the more skeptical he gets that they're... actually gods.]

Seriously? You can just call them like hey man, maybe stop doing all this shit? Probably wouldn't listen, though, but it sure sounds like you could leave some good messages.

Whatever you say.

[She doesn't get it, but she also doesn't care enough to pursue it. If this guy wants to talk like a weirdo, that's fine with her.]

Yeah, you'd probably have more success talking to a literal brick wall. Who knows, in this place, it could be brick wall monster.

[Taako always talks like a weirdo, even within the confines of his own universe, let's be real. But he does snicker a bit at her suggestion.]

I'unno, if you can send voice messages, I'd spend a day sending 'em air horns and farts until I get blocked.

[What else does he have to do around this place??]

[Alright, well, she likes that. Ellie snorts and gives Taako a challenging look.]

Yeah? I dare you.

[His usual lazy grin spreads a bit more mischievously, breaking eye contact only long enough to fish his phone out of his bag.]

Which one of ‘em do you think sucks the most? C’mon, right now, don’t stop to think about it.

Fear.

[Zero hesitation.]

Definitely fucking Fear. That asshole deserves a million air horns.

[Without a moment to stop, Taako scrolls through his phone, finds Fear’s contact, and puts a call forward, skipping it forward to the voicemail portion quickly, and once the beep hits, just blows the loudest raspberry right into the speaker. Classic.

Once he’s done, he holds his phone out in her direction because, like, why wouldn’t she wanna be in on this.]

[Ellie hesitates for a second, totally not expecting to have a phone suddenly in front of her face and a beautiful opportunity presented to her. A second is all it takes though before she's pushing her jacket sleeve back, raising her arm to her mouth, and unleashing the loudest, wettest fart noise she can muster.]

Edited 2017-08-19 13:46 (UTC)

[He laughs, loud and without finesse to finish off the call, hitting the end button as she takes his bait.]

See? Classic. Can they block us from sending stuff, 'cuz if not, I'm gonna see how long it takes till they invent a way.

Huh. You know, I don't think there is a way to block someone. Which is like- I mean, it has the potential for disaster. What a funhouse for stalkers.

[she screws up her nose. ew.]

But in this case, I'm totally fucking on board.

Hell yeah.

[Should he be more concerned about cursing around children? Yeah, probably. But this assumes Taako gives even half a shit.]

Disaster for them, you mean. They're gonna regret not being able to ignore us. Think we could get like a whole hoarde of people for this? It'd be so much better if it's like, half the cave.

[Ellie certainly couldn't give two fucks. If anything, she's pleased whenever people don't hold back around her.

She considers it, one hand rubbing her chin.]

Maybe we should start a club. Have sign ups.

[He can’t help but have a little smile on his face at this. It’s making him remember another little kid who took almost too quick a shine to him, and a small pang of worry surfaces and is then squashed again. He’s fine. He’s not here and better for it. Taako doesn’t need to be fretting about that sort of thing, he’s already dealing with too many emotions right now.]

Yeah, that sounds like a lotta work, but if you need an adult’s name to put on all the paperwork, count me in. Don’t want you, uh, running around unsupervised or whatever.

[The grin turns more like a smirk. Now the teasing, the teasing is never gonna stop.]

What’s your name, anyway?

[She flips him off with zero hesitation, grinning back.]

Thanks so much, Mr Old, Old Adult.

[Ellie certainly can't be fucked doing any actual work either, but it's fun to joke about. She'd do it again, if Taako brought it up. Sadness definitely needs an airhorn or two.]

Ellie. You?

[He snorts, sticking his tongue out at her.]

Uh, yeah, I'm like, two hundred, bubbleh. You're literally a baby.

[But he gives a little hairflip and a grin as he introduces himself.]

Taako. Thanks for letting me know the gods can't block me so I can put 'em on blast whenever.
