"DON'T PANIC? DON'T PANIC? NOW IS THE PERFECT TIME TO PANIC! I AM PANICKING! I HAVE THE ABILITY TO PANIC! PANICKING IS A THING! IT'S A THING I CAN DO! AND I'M DOING IT! I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M DOING IT BUT IT FEELS APPROPRIATE SO THAT IS WHAT I AM DOING! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"

They like to visit their favorite human every once and a while. [Original Characters]

The building is haunted, but the ghosts get attached to the workers [specifically the older ones who work there.]

The new workers are afraid of encountering them [most probably don't even know they exist and think it's just a rumor] while the older workers are used to them.

They're especially fond of this one guy in particular. He's been working here for 30+ years. They treat him like your indoor cat and he leans into their affection because he's a lonely starved old man who everyone sees as strict and indifferent.

[Note: This affection only extends to the older workers of the haunted building. (New workers have been reported fainting around their presence.) Others will not be treated as nicely. Please keep your distance and notify guards during an encounter.]

man can I just say how adorable Wolf's interaction with Delia in the wedding scene is? When she's explaining her situation he gives her the most understanding looks and it's because they both effectively had the same cause of death. Delia turned her mourning of Charles into part of her performance art, and died from being scammed with asps who were NOT defanged. Wolf wanted to deliver the most authentic performance possible and died from presumably a negligent armorer who didn't bother to check if the grenade was live or not before shooting. both of them were quite literally killed by their art (not by their own faults to be fair but from someone else's irresponsibility). and it's kind of lovely Delia got such a sympathetic escort back to the netherworld who knows her situation firsthand probably better than anyone else

it's weirdly wholesome and empathetic even as their situations were both played for morbid laughs, and if Delia didn't have eyes only for Charles (what's left of him) and Wolf wasn't in a committed relationship with Janet I'd even say I could have seen things going somewhere between them

trench being the only person to say a kind word or even thank you to jesse when she's delivering mail in the first iteration of take control... :((((((((

🔓 My muse reveals a hidden injury to your muse

For Night and Shinigami Doom! Doom has never seen Night hurt before.

@the-haunted-office

Night slides open the door to her living quarters, holding her left arm rather stiffly. She notices Doom's presence there... and can't bring herself to mind enough about finding somewhere else to take care of things. The only reason why she's in her room instead of, let's say, anywhere in Medical, is because she wants to be alone and fix this inconvenience herself, without everyone knowing about how she was damaged again.

Everyone except for Doom, apparently.

She sits down and removes the wrappings around her arm- from a distance they were almost unnoticeable- revealing something that looked much worse than it actually was, one of her metal implants having snapped and slashed through a section of unreinforced flesh.

Night frowns at the mess- she's turned her sense of pain wayyyy down, so much so that if you stabbed her right now, she'd just feel a slight sense of discomfort.

A scalpel appears in her other hand from who knows where, and she goes to work on her own arm. She's focused, and doesn't let herself get distracted by Doom's.. proximity.

it'd be a lot easier to stop the fun banter turning unexpectedly dark if i didn't insist on letting the characters have some level of self-awareness :|

HMM well in the format of writing rp stuff, Artair was, though I've talked about that not too long ago, so instead I'll talk about one of my first characters I ever wrote XD

So I had a character named Syrisar, and he was probably the first one I ever really wrote about in depth. I don't remember the whole of his story, except that he was a half-elf (I was REALLY into D&D growing up) from the edition where they were shunned by society. He had some kind of spirit guardian who had been tasked by a goddess with nudging him towards "Embracing the darkness already in his heart". When he's young, him and his adopted father are killed in their home, and she visits him in a vision to impart that to him. She brings him to life, and he ends up becoming a 'good-hearted' assassin, to embrace it while not letting himself fail to be kind when it is warranted.

And just like intended, that 'darkness' his craft imbued him with protects him in part from a spell that went off over the whole of his country. As far as I knew, he was the only survivor, due to how he'd tapped into the his abilities he'd been born with (due to heritage stuff with an original race of beings that were basically elves but cooler to young me lol). He lost his memories in exchange for his life, though. So all he knew was his name and what he had on him at the time, and kinda became a wandering swordsman, who had a cloud of darkness around his chest where he'd died as a kid, and nightmares of a past he was never able to grasp and could only move on from.

I had seven chapters I wrote out for his origin story, and a 200 page prequel book following two of his ancestors. And a collection of saved internet art of which many were anime guys that i thought looked similar to how he was in my head lol. 10-12 year old me was very determined to be a writer.

windstorm today - less scared of the third floor (archive + collections rooms) when it is the entire house making noise and not just that floor :)

"It's really nice that you humans like to use our toilets, truly kind of you to give your wastes to us buildings for us to use. What? You thought something else happened to it? Well where else did you think all that stuff went? To some treatment plant? That's another kind of building, isn't it? We're everywhere! I learned that recently. And you humans have done all kinds of things for us. Really nice, actually. Keep it up. Good work."

[ cherry ] what is one thing you love about yourself? [ amber ] which is your favorite season? why?

@the-haunted-office

[ cherry ] what is one thing you love about yourself?

hardest question you could've possibly hit me with because i love many things about myself

honestly if i'd have to choose that one i guess it's passion? i'm v much a believer in the power of love, but like not necessarily towards individual persons more like...love for a subject or interest? something gets my interest and i put my whole ass into focusing in on it lol

ig the enthusiasm isnt necessarily all good tho, apparently i almost kicked a child in excitement yesterday at the aquarium.....

[ amber ] which is your favorite season? why?

only season here is hot so uhhh the hot season it is! i do like it when it rains more than usual though, good for the plants (i have some indoor plants). I guess the equivalent of that for places with actual seasons is like, rainy monsoon season? i dont actually like the rainy season that much in an actual monsoon-y area though......my childhood home was on the ground floor so the flooding used to get crazy lol

[fire-llily]

next event info, we dont have all the info yet, but its shaping up

[look-at-the-stars-tonight]

There’s one guy from the four month training program I did who always walks by me in the hall when I’m saying the wackiest shit and I love him so much

“ Everything I want to do is illegal. ”

Doomsday to... any of your muses. Maybe she's complaining to Janus, Caerus, and Hermes about always being in trouble. x)

@the-haunted-office

The AICs have been... refining their physical forms, so to speak. Or really, Hermes (the only one who was taught reality altering) has been doing all the heavy lifting but it doesn't mind at all, so long as it gets to choose what the other two look like. Which really doesn't hold all that much power, because they didn't much care for their appearance in the first place, but still.

Instead of slightly off-putting smoky faces, they now have semi-humanoid full bodies. Still made out of the same hazy material, but a tad more... normal-looking. Even though this restricted their range significantly, it's not like they were doing much walking anyways.

So they aren't very shocked when Doom comes up to them and just starts complaining. (Apparently they look normal enough to approach ...good.) Early on they realize that she doesn't expect them to do anything about anything she's saying- she's just complaining for the sake of it. So they listen.

[...They Abide By The Law Here? Law is a social construct CAN THEY PHYSICALLY STOP YOU THOUGH?]

[beeeeble]

Woke up and got excited cause I remembered I'm gonna get my back blown out by a trans girl this morning.

Then I remembered that was just from my dream last night 😭

[townofcadence]

😏 - lying

For Artair!

@the-haunted-office

How good is my muse at---

"I.....guess it depends on the situation? I try not to lie to people about most things. I mean, if you can't trust my word, then how can you believe when I'm really trying to be honest with you?"
