A day late, but happy clocktober everyone!

I just want to ramble about one of my favorite characters that gets over looked in her own game (because let’s agree while Bates is really cool) his sister Alyssa is equally as interesting and mysterious.

While Alyssa is much more meek and fearful, she is very peculiar. Caring for her family regardless of the Maxwell Curse, even after learning of her history, who her father(s) are, she still cares for Allen Hale, despite his actions.

Even as a teenager, watching her little cousin become possessed by the Maxwell Curse, overcoming obstacles and fending off strange characters, she’s resilient

Sure she had Bates by her side to assist through it all, he’s always there for her, protecting her, keeping her safe, just like that time when she was bullied by her class mates, Bates was there

But Alyssa doesn’t rely on Bates, never is she like “I need Bates to save me” she wants to keep him locked away, hidden, suppressed. Regardless of how hard things got, she stood her ground or used quick thinking to overcome the challenge.

I understand that Clock Tower 2/Ghost Head is the “lesser” Clock Tower game, but I always viewed it as its own stand alone game.

That and I’m very biased towards these cursed twins

Let me know what you guys think though! Do you think Alyssa is an interesting character? Did you enjoy this game? Let me know your thoughts!

the darn teenage ghosts haunting my office keep hijacking my work computer to play resident evil (shou, 2008)

Is anyone here familiar with both Bakugan and Clock Tower: Ghost Head? Because I could totally see Alice and Masquerade having a similar dynamic to Alyssa and Bates; Hell, Alice and Alyssa’s names are even similar! You’ve got this shy girl who would never hurt a fly, and then suddenly a dark, villainous personality with a masculine voice and presentation takes over. But this aggressive persona cares very much for the other, nevertheless.

There’s obviously differences; Alyssa is being possessed by the ghost of her dead twin brother, whereas Masquerade IS Alice, or rather a suppressed part of her personality externalized. But as someone who really enjoys Alyssa and Bates’ whole thing, I’d love to imagine for Bakugan a post-S1 scenario where Masquerade occasionally emerges... But since there’s no more secret to upkeep, it’s just his voice emerging from Alice, who looks the exact same save a dark aura, and maybe different-colored eyes...

How about blue eyes? They’re the color of Masquerade’s titular mask, which arguably IS his true face, rather than it being Alice’s. And the blue blends in with the visor, playing into the screen being practically non-opaque, thereby hiding Alice’s visage underneath.

Again, I know that Masquerade isn’t a brother to Alice but literally just her, and while I really would love to see a storyline for her where this connection is acknowledged as she bridges the gap between these personas to highlight how they’re equally real sides to Alice... At the same time, Alice and Masquerade having this shared body dynamic the way Alyssa and Bates do is too much fun. You’ve got this incredibly soft and pastel girl, and suddenly her eyes turn a bright blue as she’s enveloped in a Darkus aura, her back straightens as her gaze turns harsh, and a completely different voice comes out.

bates - clock tower 2 / clock tower ghost head

[pampersshrekayo11]

1) In CTGH and SH3, the main characters are young girls suffering from split personality. Each of them has a "dark side" that gradually awakens during the game. For Yu Midoshima (Alyssa), this dark side is Sho (Bates). And in the depths of Heather's subconscious lives Alessa.

2) This split has not psychological, but rather mystical roots. The ghost of her deceased twin entered Yu's body, and Alessa's soul moved into Heather's body.

3) The plots of the games are twisted around the mysterious past of the main characters. In the end, it turns out that Yu and Heather actually became the causes of all the events that happened.

4) Both heroines never knew their mothers, and their fathers turned out to be not biological.

5) Takashi Midoshima and Harry Mason did not plan to become fathers at all - the babies came to them completely by accident. Takashi dug Yu out of a grave in the cemetery, and Harry received little Heather from the dying Alessa's arms. But in the end, they loved their adopted daughters very much.

6) Takashi and Harry decided to rename their daughters to hide their true identities.

7) Both fathers gave their adopted daughters a strange amulet, which our heroines now always carry with them. In CTGH, the amulet allows you to prevent turning into Syo, and in SH3, the amulet stops the attacks of possession in the final scene.

8) In one of the bad endings of Clock Tower Ghost Head, the main character becomes possessed by the personality of Syo and kills her father with a knife. In the bad ending of Silent Hill 3, Heather becomes possessed by the personality of Alessa and kills Douglas with a knife.

9) Throughout the game, Yu Midoshima sees many strange things - but some of them are actually just visions caused by a hallucinogenic substance. In SH3, Heather also constantly sees hallucinations.

10) The scene with the discovery of the dead Harry Mason in SH3 is partly similar to the scene with the discovery of Masaharu's corpse in CTGH. Yu enters the room and sees (from the back) Masaharu sitting on a chair. At first, she thinks that the guy is alive, but then she comes closer - and notices a fatal wound on his chest.

11) In Ghost Head, there is such a moment: Yu finds a man's corpse on the table, and inside the stomach of this corpse is a key. A similar scene is present in SH3 - Heather finds the body of a dead dog on the table, and in its stomach is a key.

12) In CTGH, the heroine finds a drawer in the table, locked with a key. The key to this drawer is nowhere to be found - but you can find a screwdriver and break the drawer with it. Exactly the same puzzle with breaking out a drawer with a screwdriver is also in Silent Hill 3.

So Close, Yet So Far

1. Enchanted

From this list of gt prompts.

AU: Time After Time; a Twelve AU in which Zepheera had once traveled with the Doctor and got separated long ago, and may have finally found him again.

Note: So... spoiler alert, this year's GT July inspired a lot more of this scenario to expand into a proper AU. I've slightly revised one of the previous chapters, and there is now a separate AU story listed on my Ao3 called Time After Time, where all other related prompts and shorts will be posted together!

~~~

Zepheera waited with bated breath as Bill was led into the office of the lecturer who went by 'the Doctor'. Any movement Bill made, even as it seemed she was moving to sit down, was irrelevant as long as that other giant was still around. 

That wasn't for long, to Zepheera's relief. After some off noises outside the pocket, she heard the sound of the door closing and thudding footsteps receding into the distance.

"He's gone," Bill confirmed under her breath just before Zepheera felt the lurch in gravity once again as the bag moved. Very slowly and carefully, Bill set it down on the floor, slightly leaning it against some sort of vertical surface to keep it upright. The borrower's heart leapt into her throat to finally feel solid ground beneath her feet, and she wasted no time in leaping out.

Her landing was cushioned by an ornate rug. To her left was the sheer cliff of a wooden desk that cast a soft shadow on her from a window far ahead of her. To her right sat Bill, towering overhead even from her chair. Zepheera caught her eye, ignoring the gawping she'd come to expect from humans, and threw a thumbs-up in her direction. They'd made it to this step, whatever number it was. No adjustment needed, no being trapped in Bill's bag the whole time.

Then it caught her eye, right there in the corner. It was hard to miss, standing much taller than any human and filling up the corner beside the door. Something that Zepheera should have expected to see, and yet it caught her breath anyway.

~~~

Bill was just about to give Zepheera her own thumbs-up in return, but before she could, the tiny woman took off sprinting across the hardwood floor. She wondered briefly what was going on with her. She seemed quite determined, crossing the floor surprisingly quickly considering her little legs. Probably best not to ask, though. If the lecturer was here like he was supposed to be, he might overhear and wonder who Bill was talking to. That'd blow their cover.

It was still quite weird, being near someone so small. Bill considered herself fairly average height and not the clumsiest of individuals, but with Zepheera around she suddenly felt all big and bumbling. Like anything she did could shake Zepheera up. That thought was the main thing keeping her in her seat, especially while Zepheera was walking along the floor. As much as Bill's curiosity itched at her, nagging her to get up and look around the office, she resisted.

It was a bit of an odd office, though. More like a study or library, straight out of an old manor that Scooby and the gang would explore. Minus the dust and (hopefully) ghosts. It was spacious, had a bunch of statuettes around and paintings on some walls, massive shelves full of books, and what looked like a reading nook set up in the window.

What was really odd, though, was the big wood box adjacent to that nook. Hard to miss its wood siding, the distinctive look of those old police telephone boxes. Leaning over, Bill noticed it even had a sign on the handle that read "Out Of Order". And for whatever reason, Zepheera was heading straight for it. Didn't even bother looking around at anything else.

Briefly, Bill wondered what made Zepheera so captivated by the box, but soon enough more questions about it overpowered that thought. It looked a bit too sturdy to have been made from a kit, and it was too big to have ever fit through the windows or the door. How much trouble was it to get that thing in here?

The clock on the mantelpiece behind Bill gently chimed four times, announcing the hour. Bill remembered why she was here in the first place, and settled back in her chair. With an internal shrug, she resigned herself to wait around for a bit. That didn't stop her wondering, or glancing around the curious knick knacks on the desk that sat before her. A couple of picture frames were surrounded by oddities, facing away from Bill. What really caught her eye, ultimately, was a pen cup that was full of…definitely not pens. They were bizarre sort of tubes, some with shapes or what looked like lights on the end. The cup was right in her reach. 

She stared. She thought about it. Eventually, her hand moved of its own accord.

~~~

Zepheera's sprint slowed down as she approached the looming box. She'd had so many dreams just like this that she could hardly believe it was happening. Her lips tried to smile, beyond elated to lay eyes on it once again, but it twitched back down, mitigating her joy for the moment. A trembling hand reached out to touch the bluest blue wood side of the police box, just to prove to herself that it was there, that it was real . That she wasn't just dreaming all this up.

Before she could, an ear-splitting noise shattered the silence of the office, and Zepheera was startled into running once again. By the time she slipped between the box and the wall, safe in its shadow, it sank in what that near deafening sound was.

An electric guitar, playing Beethoven's Fifth in power chords.

Bill gave a pointed cough, and the noise stopped. Then, a much more distant warbling noise rang out from a side room further on. That sound brought so many memories flooding back for Zepheera, and she sneaked back to the edge of the police box to take a peek.

The man who came out to greet Bill was certainly not the Doctor that Zepheera knew. He looked older, but she knew that meant very little when it came to his actual age. The Doctor was a man of so many faces, and Zepheera wasn't familiar with each and every one of them. 

But it was him, that much was certain. She couldn't explain why, other than he felt like the Doctor.

Bill took up his attention, giving Zepheera ample opportunities to sneak more looks at him as though it would fill in any of the gaps. She couldn't tell if this was the Doctor from before or after her time with him, and it was risky to just approach him when she had no idea how he would react.

Zepheera had found him, though, at long last. If there was one thing she had that brought her to that point, it was patience. A few more days of hiding out in his office and observing him would be worth it, just to be on the safe side.
