| THE HAUNTED HOUSE MEME |
| it's getting to be that time of year: pumpkins, crunchy leaves, creepy guys in masks with large bladed weapons killing people... and ghosts, of course. and where there are ghosts, there are haunted houses. |
| prompts: 01. halloween horror nights: why would you pay that much money to get scared on purpose? here's your option for theme park-style terror. 02. test of courage: the neighborhood association's putting on a homemade traditional sort of haunted house in one of the local schools, but who cares about whatever fundraiser they're doing, someone just called you a chicken! (at least they'll let you go in pairs or trios if you want to.) 03. at home: wait, what was that noise? there's no one else home! except, maybe, the previous residents. 04. that sounds fake, but ok: poltergeists aren't real, obviously, but that's why you're around instead. time to set up a hilarious tripwire trap! 05. wildcard: or, you know, do whatever you want. |
| as usual, drop top-levels with or without a starter, or let me know if you want someone in particular and i will provide!! |
ftr if you want more reaction pictures for ~inspiration
here's an album of them. ;)
tsumugu kinagase | kill la kill | ota
no subject
... cause he was a big fraidy cat. Not like he'd say this so easily, oh well no.
After standing with his legs spread and his hands in his pockets, a breeze caught the hem of his shirt, allowing a small taunt of skin to reveal his angular hips in delectable silence. ]
So—
[ Aikuro looked over at Tsumugu. ]
You are going in first, are you not?
[ his voice was spoken soft and sweet like a long betrothed lover.. for no particular reason other than it was his character type.
They had been standing at the entrance to the haunted house for about 7 and a half minutes. ]
no subject
halloween is a frivolous kind of thing. he doesn't have much patience for the trick or treat aesthetic. spooky scary skeletons is annoying. but aikuro, as always, is too invested, and there's a certain charm in that investment. he's always forcing cheer into things.
and so tsumugu had come to the haunted house.
he, unlike certain people, isn't easily frightened, but he is super paranoid, and that means he's been banned from at least two regularly hosted places for accidentally breaking somebody's nose. (and arm, that one time, but that guy was an asshole, and he's not sorry.)
he stares sidelong at aikuro nonetheless, arms crossed over his chest.
(he's wearing a tank top this evening, because when isn't he.) ] I thought this was meant to be a group exercise?
[ his eyebrows rise. ] Unless, of course, you don't want anyone to hear you screaming like a little girl. [ and more grumpily, while he's staring pointedly in the other direction: ] You can hold my arm, if you need it.
no subject
It is a group exercise! Two is a group! It's more than one; that's a group. The definition is two or more people or things.
[ robustly, he locks arms with the other because why not, but he has to wiggle his hand through because Tsumugu is holding his arms crossed over his chest so tightly.
Dude. Chill. ]
Don't deck the actors like you did last year.
[ apparently we've done this before? Yeah, why not. ]
no subject
Two is not a group, it's a pair, don't be deliberately obtuse. [ grumpily: ] If you wanted a private outing, you should have said so.
[ he lifts his elbow enough aikuro can hold on more securely. ]
I'll consider it.
[ and he pulls him through the front door. ]
no subject
Aikuro is pulled right along and they enter what seems to be a dark room— it was a maze? With cheesy drawings in neon bright on black walls under a black light.
Aikuro sputters because he is pulled right into a cobweb. ]
Ugh, that was gross. It's really dark in here, don't you think?
[ that's the point .. u know .. ]
hi hello maybe some baseballs
1 + 3... maybe... later... they come back to the dorms and shriek etc
he'd asked kuramochi out to a place like this because he knows kuramochi likes scaring the shit out of people, so it seemed appropriate, but they're not even inside the haunted house and he's already wincing at shadows... that doesn't bode well. ]
This isn't a zombie-themed one, is it? [ and then the girl looking bored at the front of the line waves them in through the open doors. ]
8D
That would be great, actually! [kuramochi....] ...But only if we get to fight back, really. [plus with zombies, it's just chasing after you, it's pretty much a horror style of playing tag...
and then he notices nabe gripping onto his wrist pretty tightly and gives him a reassuring smile.] It'd be fine! I'll protect ya if something happens.
no subject
[ they're passing through the doors when kuramochi says something a little ridiculous and a lot comforting nonetheless, and he leans sideways until their shoulders are brushing, the low light of the haunted house tinting them both gray-blue. the place is creepily silent, whatever soundtrack they've created hushed whispers in the corner of his ears, and his voice is barely louder. ] But thanks. I know you would.
[ that certainty is partly because kuramochi would fight anything that moved given the chance, but the rest is knowing the kind of teammate he is, the kind of friend he is. ] Just don't get us kicked out for kicking someone in the face.
[ that's an ironic sort of prelude to a door opening opening in front of them automatically. he jumps a little just because he's too wired not to, but it was kind of pointless. it doesn't look as if there's anyone in the doorway, but it's clear from the flickering fake exit sign (splattered with garish fake blood glowing dim under blacklight - and that sticks for a second because who set this place up, don't they know blood absorbs uv light?!) that that's where they're supposed to go. ]
no subject
and as the first door opens and they're directed to the first room by the prop markers, they enter a room designed to look like a hospital room.] There's a bed, right? And a window? Why would a hospital room have mirrors? Hyaha!
[he's gonna walk up to that mirror. it's totally a trap...]
no subject
[ but he's used to seido high shenanigans, and lingers in the doorway for a second until it swings shut automatically behind him. he yelps, looking at it over his shoulder, and follows two steps slower than kuramochi. ]
The same reason its emergency lights are blue and black instead of yellow. [ is he hiding behind kuramochi when some - dead girl in a bloody hospital gown? maybe? he hadn't been looking long enough - appears in it? of course he is. (for once the fact that he's just barely taller is a hindrance.) he doesn't even know if she's real or just an image in the mirror, but he doesn't care since the guy who can kick someone in the face is in front. ]
no subject
[is he getting even closer to the mirror? kuramochi you idiot-- and jumps back slightly as the girl in the mirror tries to make a grab for him. of course, haunted house rules that they're not supposed to actually do that so she purposely misses. but it still catches kuramochi a little off-guard] Oh shit, I thought the mirror actually had glass...
no subject
Where are we supposed to go ne-- [ he cuts off when there's noise behind them, the hospital bed tipping onto the floor, by the sound of it, and nope. nope, nope, nope. moving for the hallway barely visible in the half light now! (is there even anyone behind him, or was it just the bed getting tipped over for ~effect? who knows.) ]
no subject
Hey, Nabe? Where'd you go?? [he did hear nabe rushing out the room, so kuramochi hurries out to follow. it wouldn't be a joke if they split up and get lost in a haunted house...!]

84 years later
(She chickened out. Then again, shrieking in the haunted house would have involved just as much teasing as this, so. Whatever, in the end.)
She reaches down to pop open her mirror and check the red face paint "dripping" down her chin. "You're sure they're gonna come this way?"
