Open Log // Haunted Ruins

[actsmagnificent]

Who: Haruka, Michiru, and YOU
What: DDF field trip to the newly-discovered ruins. Spoopy ensues.
When: Week 39
Where: Coastal Ruins
Summary: God hunting comes with quite a few hazards. Being haunted is one of them.

[ Something is following them.

Haruka's had that feeling ever since she and Michiru entered the ruins, and it's only grown stronger with time. Even her Eevee is taking great pains to be extra-silent as he pads along, though Haruka has a hunch he's trying to impress his new "babysitter", Bundled Hearts the Spritzee. Whatever. It suits Haruka's goals, and that's all she needs.

If only the rest of the day was going as planned! These ruins haven't taught her anything useful thus far, but there's still this ominous sense of something - waiting. Something watching.

Haruka smirks. Her neck's prickling as if there's something behind her, but she won't turn. Not yet. Not until she's sure she can take - whatever it is - by surprise. ] Maybe we should have brought a housewarming gift.

[ Watch it be another explorer. That'll make her feel silly. ]

Vulp!

[Well, it's Rise's Vulpix, anyway. She just made a terrible pun in Pokémon about housewarming, although you'd never think it looking at her serious face.]

[Rise herself follows shortly, looking around nervously herself.]

Y'know, Ghost-types don't bother me. It's actual ghosts that I worry about...

[garbagedisposal]

This place sure gives me the creeps...

[He says as he rubs his arms. Looking around nervously, he keeps an eye out- and so does the little Joltik sitting in his hair, poking out just enough to also keep an eye out with him.]

[His Murkrow sits on his shoulder, and calls him a wuss, right there in front of everyone. Suck it up Goku, it's not that bad. The rest of his pokémon are attached to his Warp Band, not bringing them out just in case. He'd rather let Scrafty kick anything trying to attack them instead of them...]

[Elly was on edge. She knew it would be dangerous here by herself, but even with Fei with her, there was something extremely unsettling about this place. Still, after hearing about it, she felt compelled to see it herself--especially after meeting her first Yamask. She knew she couldn't help all of them, but something told her that she had to at least try to help somehow.

She felt something nearby, and her hand instinctively tightened around the hilt of her rapier. If she knew it was other humans, she might not have been as on edge. Even a former soldier could feel fear, it would seem.]

[Haruka and Michiru aren't the only psychic reincarnated heroines wandering around these ruins today. Rei is here too, being tugged along by those everpresent threads of fate that seem to be growing thicker and thicker with each step.

Deimos looks a little awkward, drifting along next to her with her usual grace...but a very unhappy grimace on her face. She's no happier to be here than Casius, who's tail is tucked between his legs. They have a bad feeling about this place, like they don't belong and shouldn't be here.

Not that it seems to bother Rei...but there is a definite look of surprise as she follows one of her strings around a ruined building and ends up staring at Haruka's back. She'd been expecting a Pokemon or some other horror. An aggressive spirit, like the one in her vision earlier in the week...not...Haruka and Michiru.]

Ah! [She lets out a breath she didn't know she'd been holding, a quick exhalation.]

I...[She fumbles for words...finally managing] Hello.
