Event Log: Jumpscares

[hadrielmods]

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!

Huh. You're right, I guess I was assuming. Who's it for?

[Does this hedgehog guy have a girlfriend or boyfriend...]

[armcollector]

[Oh, just a friend. That's fine too.]

Yeah, no, it's just 'cause the last time I made something for someone to give to someone else, she was trying to impress a ladyfriend, that she was interested in, so I was just... curious?? Let's go with curious.

[He never did get the news on whether Carey gave Killian that ring or not, but from what he heard, the wooden duck went over real well.]

But yeah, if the guy's got a history with wolves I bet he'll be super into this. You're a surprisingly thoughtful friend.

[armcollector]

Oh! "Phone." [He sounds the words out carefully.] Sure thing. And, uh, I feel like I mighta seen one of these things in like a movie or something before. --Which is what we call magic moving scrolls. See, I can have things you've never heard of, too.

[Wow... He can just store shit in his spines... Wild...]

But no, like, impress a ladyfriend, like she wanted to kiss her? So I thought maybe... Yeah. I... guess that's a form of respect, actually. Huh. Deep.

[armcollector]

Yeah, sure thing! Keep in touch, dude!

[Yeah, you're getting a spine-ruffle, Shadow. It's uncomfortable for Magnus's hand, but he's committed to it, so he really gets in there.]
