SHRIEKING SKULLS WILL SHOCK YOUR SOUL AND SEAL YOUR DOOM TONIGHT

[acherontiastyx]

[After 10:00 p.m., the library's... definitely a little different. The tables have lit candles on them, and there are... kind of janky cardboard cutouts set on some of the shelves. An attempt was made, at least, even if there could've been more boxes destroyed in the attempt...

But regardless. There's candles set around a place for some snacks if anyone wants to bring them, and there's also a blanket set on one of the tables. Because clearly, that's where the storyteller's supposed to sit...? Maybe you wanna do it. Maybe you just want to stand or sit or something.

Either way, let's get fucking spooky up in here.]

...

I think your title should be "Buzzkill," buddy.

[avoidcomplications]

Excuse me for answering the obvious questions before they were asked. 'How would a place like that exist and no one notice' for example.

[uncouthhatcher]

[babe......... that's like, weirdly scary, and it didn't even involve a ghost??]

That's more than enough, what the hell. How'd you come up with somethin' like that? Hear a lotta ghost tales in your bar?

[oyashiromama]

[LET'S GO WITH HAIR because horns would be a little Too Close- Hanyuu lets out a yelp and flushes.]

S-sacri- Aaah, I'm just not comfortable with this atmosphere.

[acherontiastyx]

...

Ha ha, yeah, there you go! See, you get it. There's some good presentation right there!

...

Didn't they knock that one down and replace it with a radio tower, though?

[ The lunge gets her to jerk a little, and her face is pinched just a bit like it wants to stay a poker face yet react appropriately to what amounts to a jump scare. ]

...Nice story. [ She liked it, it was creepy. Kind of gruesome. Is everything in Pokaymon like that— ] Do they have ghost stories about them too, or are you saving them for "cool story" hour?

[ ........we're not really gonna have cool story hour, are we?? she doesn't have any cool stories, uh. ]

[...Silver listens intently and doesn't take his eyes off of Watanuki for his entire story.

...

And then, when he's done, once he's made his warning, Silver grabs a candle and blows it out.]

[stepout]

[ she gets a lot of ghost tales at her bar HAHAHA /SLAPS MY THIGH

god i love death parade. ]

Not really.

[uncouthhatcher]

You're such a bore.

[stepout]

We'll have to blow them out eventually. The library—and everything else—could burn down otherwise.

[matchbreaker]

A ghost demon can't get into the whole scary story vibe?

[ Gurl please. ]

[feistytrader]

...Maybe. I haven't been there in years. It's really out of the way.

[stepout]

Maybe they got... I don't know, written out of people's memories when they disappeared? You can't remember what doesn't exist, after all.

[feistytrader]

[...Good question.]

I'd say cool stories. Three legendary Pokémon were even born in one of them.

[Are we telling cool stories now-]

[chessturner]

[Kyrie was still in the library when the meeting started, and since it was decently entertaining, she sat around, far from the center. Also there's candy over there, a few candy won't hurt]

Some people have a lot of creativity when it's about making ghost stories. There should be a gem or two to be heard in here.

[Kyrie knows about the legend of the witch in Rokkenjima, but it isn't like she's going to tell it]

[uncouthhatcher]

Holy shit, you and four-eyes over there make for a goddamn pair, don'tcha.

[kira/watanuki otp]

[uncouthhatcher]

So you're just a spooky lady.

[feistytrader]

He got you there.

[avoidcomplications]

[watanuki deserves better]

Very funny.

[introspects]

When you put it like that...

[ Ambiguous endings. One of the best things about creepy stories. ]

That was a great story, by the way!

[stepout]

I wouldn't go that far. [ it's just something that's been on her mind recently. ] How about you? Got any stories to share?

[uncouthhatcher]

[gold didn't jump of course not

that's ridiculous

why would he do that that was a good story he 100% did not jump at]

That face of yours is way better for tellin' scary stories than I thought it'd be.

[avoidcomplications]

I have no idea. That's as plausible as anything, really.

[feistytrader]

...That was a pretty good story, but what's a Z-Crystal?

[And why are there eighteen of them, aren't there seventeen types-]

[uncouthhatcher]

[what the fuck, dude]

Seriously?
