There's something strange in the neighborhood...

Maybe you've seen something out of the corner of your eye, or found a bit of your work or personal items shifted around. Maybe you've directly sensed one, gliding around a corner or even out in the open before it vanished through a wall-a figure in a grey cloak, if visible at all, any identifying details hidden. Or two figures, or three together ( Read more... )

Dani awoke with a gasp. She looked around. "Cujo?" She said aloud, sitting up and looking around and then paused, staring at a cloaked figure before it vanished. "Hey, where are you going?" She called.

She was still in ghost mode, it might be noted.

Two of them, actually-but the other was behind her, and now they're both going in opposite directions, slipping through walls and floors to confuse the trail.

For a moment, though, she got a glimpse of a heavily shadowed, indistinct face under the hood.

"Hey! Wait a moment!" Dani called, looking between them, debating for a moment if she should leave.

....a quick fly wouldn't hurt, right?

So she took off after the one whose face she had gotten a glimpse of.

Out, across a hallway and through another wall, straight down through a mess of accessways-

It's quite a hassle to keep up.

Miku had taken to walking around when other people were asleep. It was too much of a burden to keep Oren-san awake when she laid in bed and whimpered from the pain of her tattoos.

So, it was her third round of walking around the halls of the ship when she felt it - that familiar, heart-crushing, spine-tingling, breath-stealing feeling of something not right. Miku's breath hitched, and she fumbled for her camera...

...Until she realized it was left in her room, on a shelf where it couldn't be disturbed by anyone. Oh god. She pressed herself to the wall and peeked around the corner, her heart pounding in her ears as she whimpered. Please don't see me, please. Don't see me. Please don't see me. Please. Please. Please.

Three of them, together. Black robes, pulled tight, in a close formation so that any of them can provide cover for the other two. The hoods are up, and their faces cloaked in darkness.

And they're headed in the direction of the hallway Miku is in, gliding a few inches above the floor.

Miku remembered suddenly, the last time three shadowy figures came floating towards her. So, she did exactly what would be right course of action, Miku turned and ran back down the hallway.

Fortunately they haven't noticed her, it seems like, as they go on past.

Well, that was a close one.

For what seemed like the hundredth time (and perhaps it was) Daimon turned around only to find no one. And yet the psychic vibrations he had been receiving only intensified. To use a cliche, something or someone was there.

"Show yourself! I know you are there."

Danny facepalmed as his ghost sense went off yet again.

"Alright, who's there?"

There's definitely something there. In fact, maybe it's even-

-RIGHT BEHIND HIM, to judge by the looming but passive incorporeal figure covered in a black cloak and shadows.

"Alright, what the heck do you want." Danny said, after he went ghost without his customary battle cry.

The ghost says nothing, just standing there, hooded in darkness.
