do not ask why there are noises in the night: they are for you

[heirofthedog]

[Well, let's see. It's three weeks into the month of October. Two dangerous mists have come and gone in as many weeks, and the air is brighter today, what a relief. But--there still seems to be a slight chill in the air. Perhaps the edge is the result of yesterday's rain

[outside. in the forest. tuning his guitar]

[cuebattlemusic]

[there's that rustling noise again, louder. and is that a howl in the distance?]

[listentomy]

[notices /something/, taking a moment to glance towards where the sound... seemed to be coming from]

[and then goes back to tuning his guitar]

[cuebattlemusic]

[and the forest itself seems to be calming down. way down. the noise around you seems to be dying out, except for your guitar.]

[inside the Canadian Counsulate, there is a boy innocently reading People magazine in bed...]

Uh, come in! The door's not locked!

[cuebattlemusic]

[the door creaaaaks shut. and a few seconds later, you can hear footsteps. but they seem to stop just short off you.]

[deepinthered]

Did you need something, Fujisaki-sa-- [looks up]

[cuebattlemusic]

[there's nothing there. but there is the sound of someone breathing.]

[drink_this]

[inside his lab, tinkering with an experiment]

[cuebattlemusic]

[there must be a draft. the test tubes are clinking together every so often.]

[drink_this]

[well, that's not too strange. ignoring it in favor of continuing the experiment~]

[cuebattlemusic]

[it's beginning to sound a bit rhythmic...almost like a song.]

[whoyohgonnacall]

[sup, I'm a real ghost. Doing practice swings with his sword outside the onsen inn]

((placeholder, lunch!))

[cuebattlemusic]

[there's a sensation of presence on the back of your neck. you may think you're being watched.]

[whoyohgonnacall]

Is someone there?

[cuebattlemusic]

[the pressure doesn't change. and if you turn and look--there's nothing there. really.]

[outofthenet]

[rattling noises? In the crypt cabin?

w-well that's not too weird I guess, but . . .]

[cuebattlemusic]

[ah, no, it wouldn't be, would it. slowly, the wind is beginning to die out. leaving behind...nothing. you can't even hear your pets--they must all be in the other side of the crypt.]

[outofthenet]

Um. You guys? Is it just me or did it get really quiet all of a sudden?

. . . guys?

[cuebattlemusic]

[your words seem to echo of the walls. as you look around, the cabin is empty. very empty. there's a lot of room in here when no one's around, huh?]
