#radio station: station's host

[voltas-do-mar]

[Crackling, as if from the Kineema's radio. Then, from the static, a voice. Then many, a litany, a choir, a calm.]

i am here / i am here / i am here, it is true from the pale grey yonder / i have flown back to you i followed your voice / and the sound of the star they blurred into song / my volta do mar

Recite yourself back home. Keep yourself grounded in sea or sky.

Cool for: Pale Travelers, Poets, People who can't Afford Anxiety Medication

Volta Do Mar is your anchor in murky or troubled waters. She'll keep you safe and steady, and remind you of the home you have to return to. Armed with a repertoire of poems from past pilots and sailors, and the ability to help you create more personal ones, she'll provide you with grounding mantras to help you remember yourself when you start to forget.

At high levels, Volta Do Mar may keep you grounded permanently. Stay safe, stay home, stay forever cautious. You don't have to return from the sea if you never go out into dangerous waters. Low mantras of the dead whisper constantly in your ear, and you'll be homesick if you're not homebound. At low levels though, your mind will be dazed and drifting. You'll only be able to recall a catchy jingle or an annoying repetitive phrase, and you'll never find your way home with that. You might get lost at sea, go off the deep end, and never resurface.

hello! this is Volta Do Mar, a skill hinted that Kim has from his pilot jacket. Canonically, Joyce and Conceptualization describe it as:

I take a lot of inspiration from "Paddling Out (THE REPEATER CORPSE CONUNDRUM)" by transhitman, where Volta is an ability to ground oneself in reality using voltas (songs/mantras/poems) in order to remain sane. a mix of volition and composure, through the lens of shivers or inland empire.

asks are open! feel free to ask for a song, tell me a song, or anything else.

chill with suggestive content, mod is 24.

Volta uses she/he/they pronouns.

i'm da king of da highway...

Do you repeat to yourself every morning, "I'm Tha King of the Highway" In front of the mirror like some sort of self-affirmation?

No. I only say it when I cut people off in traffic.

a very niche celebrity frostyfest (now on dvd~!)

[notbecauseofvictories]

honestly I don't even go into the office that much, but driving there and back makes me think automobiles were a mistake and we as a society need to invent teleportation, or at least come up with a train schedule that would get me to the office building in less than 2.5 hours.

"Vinny, look! The Freelancer took an art course at D.A.M.N. and now they and all the people in that course are putting up the posters they made! Aren't they just the cutest?"

[psygull]

is the seagull slasher mask homemade or what

it's actually part of a mascot costume used in promotions for the radio station the ghost used to work for! i haven't drawn it yet but there's like a bodysuit that was attached to it at one point that's way too small for them lol. it's a small radio station and a very specific costume so i imagine it would have been homemade by somebody working there

the ghost's friend bruce has an eyepatch so the station spun that into making his show pirate themed. the seagull costume is a bonus that the ghost got roped into as a general handyman/intern/whatever cos nobody else wanted to do it. they just wear the mask part when they're killin people though

[wraithsoutlaws]

maybe i should make a sleazy little media oc for rattus rattus au

[clueless1995]

american colleges are so scary to me. you guys have to share rooms??? on campus??? absolutely not i would’ve started killing too

[the-lonely-catt]

@this-is-dev tags work too! I'll take it tbh, any chance to ramble about music XD

5. A song that needs to be played LOUD

Alright well most of them for me. I need the music to consume my skull and silence my thoughts. But in particular... right now, Envy Green by The Arcadian Wild. Put headphones on and blast that shit and you will experience joy.

23. A song you think everyone should hear (I think I forgot to copy the questions lmao)

This should be easy but like... there's so many good songs ;-; But at this exact moment it's definitely Your Stupid Face by Kaden MacKay

27. A song that breaks your heart

Most of the FFXIV soundtrack :)) Or a normal answer of a song that both fucks me up and kicks ass is Good For You from Dear Evan Hansen, OR if musicals don't count, then an old favourite of mine, Burning House by Cam :')

[voltas-do-mar]

...a nightmare so common / a repeating motif it takes time and patience to overcome grief you care, lieutenant / why recalling still aches deep breaths, my dear pilot / your body still shakes

A well needed reminder you should not let your dreams influence your waking life. That's no one else's business. No one cares.

After finishing things up with the frat house shenanigans we get another call, this time from a young man by the name of Eugene. He's been promised a romantic time in the Maize Maze but seems to have been stood up. What's worse is he can hear whistling, and its getting closer.

Due to a hiccup in recording Thyme's audio was mixed with the game's. To make it easier to understand what he's saying, subtitles have been provided.

Killer Frequency is a first person horror adventure where you play as a late night radio host burdened with the duty of answering rerouted 911 calls. There's a slasher on the loose in the tiny town of Gallows Creek and the police are out of commission, so it falls to Forrest Nash of 189.16 - The Scream to save the lives of the goofy townsfolk trying to make it to morning. With the help of our producer and sound engineer Peggy Weaver we help the town jazzercize, hotwire cars and order pizzas to thwart the Whistling Man and try not to give Ponty any more free ad time.
