[. . . july showers bring august ghosts]

Who: EVERYONE
When: August 3, wobbly hands
Where: Around the school!
What: some things happened. the school is suddenly a lot more crowded
Warnings: references to blood and bite injuries, but otherwise, non! unless you bring something to the party yourself

[August 3 stars off. . . weird.]

[The morning bell chimes at 6 a.m., as it usually does! But there appears to be a very thin layer of fog settled against the ground outside. Some of it seeps into the school's hallways, before dissipating in a few wisps of haze. Weird??]

[As the day goes on, you feel like you can hear strange whispers echoing in the air-- a voice, hissing the word miiiiiiiine over and over again. Also weird!]

[And by the time the afternoon hits, you may find yourself running into some very unwanted guests. You've been here two weeks, and this is the first time you're seeing these guys?? Where have they been??]

[By the way, the nurse's office is unlocked!]

[ Ishmael's first instinct is to try and pull her wrist away, but she stops short of snapping at the person who has grabbed her. It's a familiar face - albeit one she doesn't have a name for - and she's very clearly afraid. ]

Thanks for the heads up.

[ Pause. ]

You need a minute?

[ Picking up on some of the tension, Tifa immediately lets go, but she continues to back away down the hall, hoping that the woman will follow her. They haven't properly met yet, but that doesn't matter — she doesn't want anyone here to be in danger. ]

No, I think we should just move away from it...

[ She thinks she can still hear it around the corner and that's making the hair at the back of her neck stand on end. ]

I don't disagree.

[ Ishmael follows her. She has no reason not to, and honestly? Confronting a ghost is not something she's in the mood for. ]

I'll watch your back to make sure it doesn't sneak up on us.

[ It's nice that this woman isn't fighting her on it, or insisting that they should go interact with the ghost in any way. Others haven't been so quick to understand.

Tifa heaves out a sigh of relief. ]
Thank you...

[ And then frowns, as she realizes: ] I haven't even asked your name. [ Their interaction before had been brief, but still! ] Or... what you're going by, anyway.

[ The further away they get, the less she feels a chill creeping down her spine, so that's something. ]

[ Why would she insist on going to interact with it? Just because Ishmael is a capable fighter doesn't mean she's stupid.

Although she can imagine a few people she's met, both here and back home, that would absolutely want to meet a ghost... ]


Dante. Call me Dante.

And what should I call you?

[ And yet there are other people in this very thread chain who are doing just that...

She nods at the name, smiling in relief as she feels some of that bone-chilling fear bleed out of her as they make their distance from the ghost. ]


Tiger Lily. I'm with Kenkou.

[ She waits until they've made a few more turns down different hallways before she allows herself to pause and lean up against the wall to catch her breath. ]

I knew things were too quiet. It feels like it's gotten a lot more haunted around here all of a sudden.

I'm with Kai-un. Nice to meet you, circumstances aside.

[ It hadn't occurred to Ishmael to call herself after a thing instead of a person. Although her first thought is that she could have called herself Sunset, and that brings too many bittersweet memories to deal with every time someone addresses her.

Dante works better, probably. ]


I did, too. But I still got a bit too comfortable. That won't happen again.

[ She looks behind them to make sure nothing has followed them. Aside from a pair of nekomata chasing motes of dust in the air, all is clear. ]

[personal profile] suplexer 2025-08-09 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ At least the nekomata are still around to brighten their day, even if they come with some more mildly inconveniencing side effects. Nonetheless, Tifa feels blessed to have them here. ]

Hmm... yeah. [ She heaves out a breath, setting a hand against her chest for a moment as she finally feels like she can catch her breath. ] I guess from now on, we won't be able to wander around without there being a chance of running into a ghost.

[ Thanks, she hates it! ]

[ Cats do have a way of brightening one's day, it's true. ]

A teammate of mine got frostbite from touching one, so we have to be wary of that as well. Frostbite's treatable, but inconvenient.

[ Stupid ghosts. She also hates it!! ]

For now, I think we're in the clear. Are you hungry? It's just about lunch time.
suplexer: (036)

[personal profile] suplexer 2025-08-11 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Frostbite? [ Well, that doesn't sound good. As if things weren't bad enough... ] I actually don't know a thing about how to treat it, but it's good that you have that kind of knowledge.

[ If this is going to be a daily risk that they'll need to keep in mind, then they're going to need to be aware of the injuries they could sustain and what to do about them.

But oh, a lunch invite? Tifa's briefly widen, but then she nods. ]


I could eat, yeah!

[ And hopefully they don't run into yet more ghosts along the way. ]

Comes with the territory of being out on the open seas. The weather isn't kind out there.

[ Although the frostbite here seems a bit more severe, which makes sense. Supernatural bullshit and all.

Because Ishmael is part of the Bad Luck Club, as they round a corner there's a ghost standing in the middle of the hallway. She stops in her tracks, grabbing Tiger Lily's arm in case she doesn't see them right away. ]


Maybe it'll leave us alone if we ignore it....

[ Tifa blinks at that. It's not like she could have guessed at what this Dante did back home just based on her looks, but somehow she wasn't expecting this. ]

You're... a sailor?

[ Having ridden a massive ship from one continent to another not that long ago, Tifa now has some idea of what goes into a voyage like that.

Before she can think further on it, though, Dante snatches her arm, forcing Tifa to stop in her tracks as she realizes that there's yet another ghost between them and the cafeteria. She goes stiff, that fear bubbling up in her again — though she does her best to tamp it down. ]


... They seem a little confused, yeah. We might be able to sneak by?

[ If there was another way to the cafeteria, she'd suggest that, but... there isn't. ]
