Haunted mansion for a haunted mansion.

Oh, but you don't gave to look far for hauntings!

What would haunt you, Garland? Dogs howling, or cats clawing, clang clang~

Words, listen to my words -- yes, are you listening?

H-how do you know my name? Who are you? And I wouldn't want to hear any of that...

Uhm, I suppose I will.

I am, I am. I am many things--

Call me Walter. Walter Sullivan.

Listen. Shh. You know a wicked witch, a wicked not-witch.

Shh. Listen. Listen to her words. Do they bring you wisdom?

Put your fingers to keys all you'd like, never finding the way out. Oh, what poor soul!

They had a way of treating tattle tales when I was a child. For days I could taste metal and salt.

Walter? ...Alessa's friend?

...

Harry, is this why you've been so sad? I guess taking the time to recover from...so many things really won't help, if it's like this...

Perhaps it was just naive of me to think it would've been that easy.

But what I should do? She seems to really think that he doesn't care for her, and I've talked to her about it as well...

No, maybe it's a good thing you told me.

A haunted mansion would be interested, but perhaps inconvenient.

[alonetomorrow]

I guess so. But I don't think I'd be too surprised if it did become a haunted mansion.

[sugarstacker]

Nor I. And it might be entertaining, depending on the manner in which it became such.

[holy_heretic]

You're going to celebrate it too?

[alonetomorrow]

Yeah. I got a costume and everything.

[holy_heretic]

That's nice, may I ask what you're going as?

[alonetomorrow]

Oh, well, I kind of want it to be a surprise.

[giftedistheterm]

With all the dead already here, you could call this place haunted already. Personally, I hope we have an event-less Halloween.

[alonetomorrow]

Ah... Yes, I suppose you really could. Except no one really looks like a ghost, at least not how I always imagined it (a ghost, that is). Maybe that's why I just forget sometimes.

Are you going to celebrate, Simon?

[giftedistheterm]

...that was rather morbid of me. My apologies, Lisa. I'm afraid this place is making me a touch paranoid.

I have a costume at least. Other than that I hadn't made any plans...I think I'll wind up answering trick or treaters as well.

(OOC: lol sleep, what's that?)

[alonetomorrow]

That's okay, Simon. I was just reminded, is all. Besides, after all that's happened, I think it's natural to be at least somewhat paranoid.

Oh? What are you gonna be?

(ooc: Oh you silly, silly...person :D *pets*)
