[first room]

[arcanefog]

[Morty’s room is first. When you first walk into the gym, you along with a group of nameless NPCs will be squeezed into a rather tight room. The door closes behind you, and the lights are dim but the room is obviously decorated to be that of an elevator. The level numbers are all broken except for the ‘13’th floor which is flickering lightly. You may or may not smell an odd waft of old cinnamon in the air.

When everyone is in (albeit, not comfortably. They should all be packed in like sardines) and no one is caught in the door, there’s a flicker of sound and a voice over the intercom (it’s not Morty’s). The audio’s a bit distorted]

Welcome to the The PokéHouse of Horror, my friends. We do hope you will enjoy yourselves as much as we will enjoy ~watching you~ just a couple words of advice: watch your step, believe everything you see, and huuu hold onto your neighbor. You’re in for a bumpy ride.

[and then there’s what feels like the elevator taking a sudden drop]

[soaringcall]

[Falkner excused himself as he seemed to be crammed with the other visitors in the room. He felt it was rude to treat guests as such, but alas, it was not up to him. He thought he saw a familiar person just in front of him. He reached out to touch this person's shoulder.]

Oh! There you are, Ethan, I see you ma-YAAAAGH!!!! [He shouted in alarm, grabbing the boy's clothing as he felt the drop]

[soaringcall]

[Falkner let out an odd yelp as he felt Ethan turn and pull at his clothes. He has had some experience with controlled falls for his flight training, but inside a room, there was no way to tell of the 'outside' surroundings or how close the floor was. Nevertheless, he pulled Ethan close as he did with his students during flight mishaps and prepared for the worst.] Hold on!

[arcanefog]

[how long is it going to fall? Just when you think it's going to keep going, the elevator comes to a sudden STOP. It settles, rocks a bit, before the doors open. You can now enter the main hallway - it's still a bit cramped but more comfortable than the elevator.

The floors creak, the walls are practically moaning, and it's still dark as hell. Every once in a while you'll hear a scream, fists beating against the walls frantically, and then the sound of nails scrapping against the walls.

There's enough light around the corner of the hallway that you can see where you're going - but otherwise you're out of luck. Turn that corner and there's ... a stage? Or just an open space where there's .. aw hell naw, hospital stuff. Blood spatters on the walls. Syringes and other such .. things scattered along the floor and ohgod is something moving behind the scene?]

[soaringcall]

[Falkner felt the fall come to a stop. His feet hit the bottom of the elevator and he lands on his knees while Ethan tumbled out of his arms. He looks up to see the boy already on his feet looking prepared. That's a good sign. He pushes himself up while looking around at the other bewildered passengers.]

[The scene itself made Falkner freeze for a moment. He had to mentally tell himself that this was an illusion, a stage, that none of this was real... but the unease among the guests was seeping into himself as well. He looked at Ethan. No, he had his honor to defend.]

We should go. [He patted the boy's shoulder once and marched ahead with the moving crowd doing his best to keep a brave face.]

[This doesn't seem to be too bad. Not exactly scary at all (ahaha what is even with that 13th floor thing?), but not... bad. It still didn't really spook him, though, nor did the voice over the inter-

AND THEN THE DROP HAPPENED OH GOD WHAT Surge actually jumped a little. He then realized... oh, it was just... the elevator dropping. Ahaha. Ha. That was just... yeah.

He began to laugh awkwardly. Some of the little NPCs around him just stared a bit.]

Re: [first room]

[arcanefog]

[NPCs are right to stare at you, man. Who the heck awk laughs in a haunted house?

Well, the elevator has come to a stop and has opened up to the same scene Falkner and Ethan got. The wails and beatings get louder as you walk down the hallway until you get to the hospital scene. Just keep on walking, Surge...]

Re: [first room]

[monofamerica]

[And so Surge didn't. The banging and screaming didn't bother him at first, but as it grew louder, as he tread further and further down... yeah, it was beginning to get to him. He tried to ignore and deny the shiver he felt go down his spine as he neared the end of the hallway.

He then ended up at... a hospital scene? Syringes, hospital equipment, and other such things? Yeah, this was getting a bit freaky. He wasn't about to turn back, though.

Was that a glimpse of something behind the scene, though, or was that just his imagination? The crowd kept moving, yet Surge was the one to shout out...] Hey!

Re: [first room]

[arcanefog]

[You shouldn't have done that.

The rustling stops. One of the curtain starts to part revealing these eyes along with another scream..

Re: [first room]

[monofamerica]

[FFFFUUUU WHAT WAS THAT? Was that... Was that...

... wait. Was that an Igglybuff? That looked like an Igglybuff's eyes, what with the red and all that. Ha. Ha. It... really was an Igglybuff. At least, so he thought. Ha. Ha.]

You- h-ha- you really think that's all that scary?! Don't make me laugh! Didn't scare me at all!

[Yet the physical evidence of him jumping from the scream portrayed otherwise.]

Re: [first room]

[arcanefog]

[more of them show up. allll staring.

Fine, fine, Surge, be a party pooper. But it's time for you to go to the next room, and they're going to keep staring you down until you do.]

Re: [first room]

[monofamerica]

[... Yeah that is just. That is just still being really creepy. TOO CREEPY.

He's just going to move right along now.]
