They are always saying, "It makes me shudder!"
Who: Anyone and everyone
What: The castle nearby means to teach visitors the meaning of fear.
Where: Unsafe zone
When: Halloween
Warnings: Mentions of dead animals
A youth once sought how to shudder at a castle. A haunted castle now lies just outside of Sirocco, awaiting unsuspecting visitors to claim in the name of fear.
The castle is modest in appearance with next to no decorum. There are numerous rooms and floors, many of which are empty and occupied by cobwebs in the corners. However, there are exceptions. A sea of deceased, cut up black cats and dogs litters the floors of one chamber, throughout the window of which is a pond similarly polluted with carcasses. A knife lies innocently by a woodcarver's bench, its blade coated with dried blood and illuminated by a weak fire in the center of the room.
Another room houses a single bed, neatly made with yellowed sheets and pillows. Again, there is a dimming fire in the center. The bed appears to pose no harm, though sitting or laying on it will cause a reaction. Literally. Physical contact will incite the bed to seemingly come alive and thrash around the room -- it may even leave and travel up and down the stairways in an attempt to buck off whomever's on it.
The next room has the same fire, a chimney, a lathe, nine bones, and two rounded skulls. The chimney smells faintly of corpses. Remnants of shredded bone matter coat the lathe; the skulls sit by the entrance, enticing visitors to play a game of nine-pin bowling with the human bones across the room. Should one play voluntarily or out of necessity (perhaps the door slammed shut and refuses to open until the game is played), the skulls and bones will vanish into thin air. Who knows, winning may or may not yield anemoi.
There are others: another room has a coffin and another bed, this one being inanimate; a blacksmith's forge lies on the other side of a dark passageway, littered with axes and anvils; last but not least, the cellar in the castle hides three chests, which contain anemoi.
Did you shudder?
( ooc: This is a free-for-all log, so make your own threads for wherever, whenever; multiple threads for one room is okay! Feel free to make up your own areas and things based on the story, this is just a starting point. It may be a good idea to label in the subject where the thread is taking place. )
