ONE | voice + video | day 14, night

[scaredyshy]

[More specifically, about 24 hours after sunset.]

[The headset video turns on, but it soon becomes clear that it's not on purpose. First it's dark. The camera's covered, but you can hear breathing. Frantic breathing; you can tell that whoever this is, they're absolutely terrified. Then the camera lifts slowly, hesitantly, to reveal in the dim

Comments

[The Doctor had been keeping an eye on the network off and on since the first spectre had appeared before him. It reminded him a bit of the Gelth, but these spectres were not quite the same, he was well aware. Though his adamant disbelief in ghosts had generally held fast, this island was teaching him the meaning of the word 'exception'. An audio response fizzled to life in her earbud]

Are you all right?

[scaredyshy]

[ooc: sorry for the delayed tag, got impromptu-called into work today]

[When he speaks, there's an alarmed squeak, followed by a whimper. And a looong silence as she decides what to think of this random voice. Then, ridiculously quiet:]

I'm scared.

[daligulvstrand]

It's all right. It's okay. Don't worry.

Can you show me where you are? Just look around again, I will come help you.

[scaredyshy]

[No reply. Just the slooooooow lift of her gradually (and fearfully) peering out of her little corner. Looks like a dusty corner of the storage room.]

[That voice. That voice, Fluttershy knows that voice! Through all of the ghosts and the scariness...]

P-Pinkie!

accidental audio;

[scaredyshy]

[ooc: sorry for the delayed tag, got impromptu-called into work today]

[There's a tiny squeak of surprise at the snort, and when she speaks, her voice is very very quiet quiet.]

If you're a-, a ghost too... Please, if it's not too much trouble, maybe you could... scare someone else?

audio;

[scaredyshy]

[There's that word the other ghost used. The not-good word.]

I'm sorry, mister super monk. I didn't mean to offend you.

[Audio]

[truculentduet]

[Find her?]

[To help her?]

[Oh no.]

[Her fear is already too enticing. He can't help but just enjoy it for a little while, silent as he listens. Maybe... honking a bicycle horn randomly when it gets too quiet.]

[Audio] oh god gamzee

[scaredyshy]

[ooc: sorry for the delayed tag, got impromptu-called into work today]

[There's something incredibly eerie about the honking. Pinkie Pie honks horns all the time, but it's not like this. In fact, Fluttershy's scared silent for a good few minutes, but eventually musters up the courage to ask:]

Are you a ghost too?

[In the tiniest voice in the world, but it's the best she could manage.]

[Audio] Su~p.

[truculentduet]

[OOC: Nooo problem.]

Heh heh.

[Honk.]

[Audio] why so horrifying

[scaredyshy]

It's nice that you're happy but m-maybe, um, if you don't mind... If it's okay, could you please not laugh that way? I'm sorry...

[pinkbunbuns]

[The ghosts have really been quite unnerving, and Euphie's taken action by mostly staying inside to avoid them. She can't avoid something like this though.]

Hey there. Don't be afraid. Where are you? Someone can find you and stay with you.

[video]

[scaredyshy]

[This person is another scary voice that she doesn't now how to escape from, but at least this one sounds nicer, and smart and mature. Almost like Twilight Sparkle. This calms Fluttershy down just enough to attempt to talk to her. There's only one problem:]

It's dark, and there are things, and...

I-, I don't know where I am.

[video]

[pinkbunbuns]

[She wouldn't agree with the smart comment, but Euphie can handle the dark, and trying to calm down this poor ponygirl is a little more important. She'll be gentle.]

This place is a little scary, but you don't need to be afraid. I can stay on the line and talk to you as much as you need to, okay? Don't be scared.

Do you see light anywhere? Or can you show me where you are?

[video]

[scaredyshy]

[At the last question, she's peering out of hiding. It looks like... the storage room?]

Thank you. I really appreciate it.
