I: Carbuncle Hunting

[It's been hours tramping through the forest and there is no carbuncle in sight.  William's getting fed up with the way their noble purpose is being thwarted.  Doesn't the creature value the possibility of contributing to science?  But there is no point in being too cross and the day is a pleasant one, so after a moment he proposes that the two of you sit down.  And enjoy the picnic basket of food he brought just for this occasion. Because you can’t work on an empty stomach. And maybe the carbuncle would like some food too. Treating it to a good meal would be a fair exchange for it's gem.]


I swore the local people said there were some of those creatures in here. Hopefully they're just shy.

II: Haunted Hospital Time [closed to Yew]

[William had come to accept the very real existence of the supernatural over a year ago.  It was hard not to when you kept running into demons and angels who wanted to either A, kill you or B, wine and dine you.  Of course, there were certain things he still had doubts about.  Like ghosts.  Though at least it was only a doubt and not a ridiculously powerful desperation to ignore the horror of reality.

But now that William was wavering, he wished to confirm the truth about spectors and this job provided the perfect opportunity. So here he was with a notebook in hand and a very unfortunate companion.]


Come on, Yew. Let’s get going. I didn’t stay up this late for you to get cold feet.

<[Is he being a bit merciless? Yes. Yes he is. Sorry bro. But it's time to push on through those hospital doors.]

II: Haunted Hospital [Open to everyone]

[Despite everything that happened the first time he went through the hospital, William’s elected to go again. After all, there are people who could surely benefit from his guidance. And he does want to read those pages he missed. The part of him that loves a good mystery is curious.

So have a fearless William with you, one who is now immune to the jump scares, because it just stops being terrifying after the tenth time. You’ll definitely be okay. For sure.]


III: Wildcard/Chilling around Blanc

Dead?

[His grip around William's leg tightens.]

Then that means his ghost might be here. Oh, it's even worse!! He'll haunt our blood and garlic won't stop him!

[Wynona was not afraid of no ghost. She followed under the fairy, batting her multiple pairs of eyes at her. Pretty fairy. Someday, she will get her hugs.]

[Before he could even respond with his wild reasoning, he shrieked at the haunted bench. Suddenly, he was no longer around William's leg. Somehow, he had managed to launch himself onto the hanging light fixture. Wynona looked at William, then at Wander. Her bravado was quickly fading.

From this height, Wander could see something over the pile of rusty old cots and tables, something impossibly long and moving.]

It's Dracula, Will! Over there!!

[But by the time he pointed at it, it was already gone.]

A... rat? You really think so?

[Oh, how much he wanted to believe it was only a rat. Unwilling to let William go alone, Wander climbed down and moved to sit on his shoulder. The closer they came, the more Wander shivered. The slightest noise had him on edge. The wind howling through the window? Terrifying. The pile of metal shifting? Horrifying. The eerie slender creature standing in the doorway behind them?]

GROP, HE'S RIGHT THERE!!

[Hopefully William did not mind having Wander clinging to his head, replacing his yellow hair with his orange fur. He pointed again, but it was gone. Again.]

[Wait, why were they moving closer to it?! Wander jumped down and he clung to William's leg, trying to get him to stop.]

I'm positive, Will. Come on, maybe this isn't such a great idea. We should leave! And never come back! Yeah, that sounds like a much better plan to me.

[As they neared the door, a flash of claws emerged. Long, tendril-like fingers peeled the paint off in thin lines as it grasped the doorframe, trying to fit its sinewy body through. Wander was now a screaming orange ball of fluff.]
nh2h: you didn't wind up together (And it's probably best)

[personal profile] nh2h 2016-11-19 11:26 am (UTC)(link)
[While William ran for the both of them, Wander looked back at the horror that came through the door. It was terrifying and... disgusted from the way Wander clung onto his friend? At least it did not chase after them. The further they were, the more his fur settled and he stopped shivering.]

Uh, Will? Iiii think we got to go back. I don't know, Drac seemed lonely.

[Wynona's jaws dropped. Was he crazy?! She was not going back there! The reptile flicked her tongues defiantly and planted her rump on the floor.]
nh2h: (All the things that you will see)

[personal profile] nh2h 2016-11-21 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah, but that was before I got a good look at him.

[He hugged William's leg as thanks for agreeing before leading the way back.]

Mr. Dracula? I'm really sorry for screaming at you.

[No answer. He turned the corner and tried again.]

Let's start over! Folks call me Wander, and these are my buddies, William, Artemisia, and Wynona! ... Mr. Dracula?

[Wait! Was that... was that crying he heard? Oh no, it was worse than he thought! Wander hurried down the hallways.]
nh2h: (My Fair Hatey)

[personal profile] nh2h 2016-11-22 10:43 am (UTC)(link)
[As they entered the room, Wander found it was not Mr. Dracula crying, but a man facing the corner.]

Oh, what's wrong? Having a bad day? Well I know a few ways to...

[The man threw his head back and screamed. His body soaked with blood, the spirit dissipated as he flew through the wall. Wander said nothing. He only fell over, scared stiff. It was at this moment Wynona decided to brush up against William's leg. After all, the only thing worse than going back, was to be left alone.]

[Despite the way his body quaked, Wander nodded his head and squeaked:] Yes.

[Clearing his throat, he got back up and readjusted his hat.]

Yes. Folks here need help, and I won't leave until I've made their afterlife a little brighter! [He gulped to ease the shivers.] I'm sure they don't mean to be scary, right? Let's try again with Mr. Dracula. I think he's...

[Picking a random direction, Wander walked ahead.]

... This way!
nh2h: (Things are bound to get better)

[personal profile] nh2h 2016-11-27 11:04 am (UTC)(link)
How do you figure we get him to do that? I didn't think I did anything surprising, but he was awfully upset. Maybe I have to be even gentler?

[Wynona nervously nudged her snouts against Wander and he embraced her in return. The first turn led them into a dark, miserable examination room. Some dusty furniture lie crumpled in the corner, but no spirits inhabited the area. The next room was similarly empty, and the one after that. Wander frowned.]

Do you think he got scared away?

[Wynona did not like this. She could not shake the feeling they were being watched.]

[personal profile] nh2h 2016-11-28 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
I wonder what could get his attention...

[While Wander wondered, he set his sights on the creaky door. Maybe that was him! He took a deep breath, put on his best, if a little nervous smile, and then he opened the door. Inky darkness lurked within, obscuring everything inside. The sounds of scratching came from inside, that familiar sound of a sharp quill scrawling on parchment. How could someone be writing without any light to see?

Wander looked at William, perplexed. Well, if someone was in there...

... He ran inside, much to Wynona's shock.]
nh2h: (It ain't a total disaster)

[Along with the scribbling, came the hushed sounds of muttering. They were getting closer! The doctor seemed to be making observations on his latest experiment, and he did not sound pleased with it. Yet, perhaps their next experiment would yield results that were more promising. After muttering something about readying the next patient, a portion of the room lit up with a past memory.

The doctor walked away from his notes and approached the man strapped down to the cot, the same man from before. Scared to the point of crying, he begged for mercy yet to no avail. The doctor began his spell. Wander quickly ran between them.]

Hey, wait a sec, let's not get too hasty! I'm not entirely sure what's going on here, but maybe we can talk about it first?
nh2h: And a maniacal determination to destroy our whole galaxy (Sure Dominator got an unstoppable army)

[The doctor sized up William as he mentioned pragmatics. He countered that if men kept practical, there would be no advance. To make a breakthrough, a chance must be taken. This time, he insisted, he perfected his technique. This will be his greatest triumph and they were to witness history.

While William and the doctor debated with at each other, Wander and Wynona found a little cover for now, undoubtedly planning something should an appeal to logic fail.]
