Max just getting out of the shower before work, screams as he sees a message written in the fogged up mirror
"3rd floor hallway lightbulb needs replacement."

@Expendable@CitrusArms Thanks! It's a long thread, so it gets hard to find info sometimes.

@Red Wizard

Good tip to avoid losing important info is to make a secondary post under the main OOC post or use the zeroth post.

Death of the genre

Forum RP is dead and we killed it.

@Richard Horthy

An illusionary barrier makes sense: appears like a nondescript building from the outside, nothing can be seen through the windows, people just sort of 'forget' it's there the instant they look away.
It's like THERE in the real world but the barrier just affects outsider perceptions.

AND SO MAX'S TRIFECTA OF TERROR IS COMPLETE! *confetti rains down*
Shoot though, does Max get like... special glasses to see ghosts? Or are there just multiple residents HE CANNOT SEE!? XD

Suzy is your bog-standard ghost girl.

The general populace can't actually see Suzy, and most attempts to photograph her she appears as a small speck of light, almost like a dust bunny. Those who are able to see Suzy, which tends to be the youth or the neighbor's dog due to their strong spiritual connections, will see a incorporeal teenaged kid, pale and almost sickly-looking at times.

Since most people are unable to see Suzy, she often results to screwing with people or things. If your electronics are going haywire, the temperature drops or things are being thrown about, then Suzy is likely in the room with you. The thought of possessing someone has crossed her mind, but Suzy is (unironically) deathly afraid to try it.

Suzy needs a place devoid of salt and iron. She has already experienced great anguish once before (duh, she was murdered), and would not like to experience it again.

Ghost hunting tools, such as an EVP recorder, are also helpful despite her dislike for such tools. They help her communicate to those who she isn't able to reach out to. A double-edged sword, in other words (one hopefully not made of iron!).

Suzy tends to be a sarcastic individual.

When she was alive, Suzy had been your stereotypical "good kid", bright-eyed and cheerful. She'd help out anyone with homework and was on every teacher's good side. But when you're the victim of a serial killer, you tend to see the world more like those outcasts who hated the "goodie two-shoes" you once were. Nowadays, Suzy is much more bleak, and tends to be annoyed at most things or people that she happens to find too stupid or useless.

If only you could see her and her permanent scowling face. If only.

Suzy had been just an average, normal kid from London, England. Decent grades, had a couple friends, participated in extracurriculars at school—in essence, your typical Disney Channel background character in a slice of life high school show. But then she unluckily found herself the next victim of a sick creep, her lungs filled with nasty water from the Thames as she drowned, putting a permanent end to her enjoyment of the "thing" called life.

Or so she thought.

Coming back to her senses, Suzy found herself face-to-face with her dead body in the coroner's office. She attempted to communicate with the coroner, only to accidentally scare him shitless as the lights rapidly flickered and objects floated in the air. Unfortunately for Suzy, the corner had gossipy tongue, and news of this "paranormal" activity spread like wildfire. Soon enough, she found herself twisted into an urban legend: the murdered teenager who came back from the grave, haunting poor souls in anguish of her violent death.

In truth, Suzy just wants to be left alone. Yeah, she's dead. Yeah, she's a ghost. So what? She's already been through enough. If only the people on r/Paranormal would get the message.

1-2-2, with an extra two 2s scrawled onto the sign. Suzy thought it was funny to reference the 20 20 20 20 ghost number, given the circumstances of her untimely death.

Suzy has a stereotypical room reminiscent of a cramped UK townhouse. The atmosphere is always cold, given that a ghost resides there. Although Suzy can't eat or drink, she likes to have a plate of biscuits (BISCUITS, not cookies or crackers, you cretin!) and a tea kettle nearby—perhaps a side-effect of feeling home-sick. Or, well, living-sick.

Umbra Rose Condos

If i turn into an animal would i see her? OR COULD I TURN INTO A GHOST?!

@Sky Blue

I mean: one of the main requirements to be a ghost is, well, to be dead.

Umbra Rose Condos

Oh dear lord, I love her.

Question: would monsters typically have a stronger spiritual connection and thus reliably be able to see/hear her?

@Lemons

I'd imagine the more animalistic monster-people would have an easier time seeing/hearing her, going off the fact that people say animals are sensitive to the paranormal.

Here to complete the trifecta of werewolf, vampire and ghost.

Left Behind: Mulberry Street

I know that the Holloways and the Graves are neighbors, but should we situate everyone else on the street? I can draw up a very, very crude map if we want one. X'D

@Morgannis

I think it was @Force and Fury that plotted out the street map with me in the past RP, but I don't have a copy of it anymore. It was rudimentary and everyone was essentially next door neighbors, but if people would like to live slightly further apart this time around we can work something out (as long as it is on the same street, given the concept).

How far down the lane would you say the Holloways and the Graves are? I also assume that there are two entrances to the neighborhood? At least two, not including unfenced backyards. Are there any notable features around the neighborhood? Any lakes/ponds in the general vacinity? Any wildly overgrown forests?

They were somewhere in the middle last time. Their proximity was also a tool to explain the differences in houses (Micki had mentioned that there could've been a fire in the past that had wiped out much of the old brick colonial homes in the area, hence the differences in housing).

The street has two main entrances and exits. In New Hampshire (or at least small town) fashion, they go one way from each direction. One way goes deeper into town, the other way starts to take you out. The road itself isn't a concrete parking lot, it is skinny in size like the example below.

My Hider

There are a few points where the road breaks off to other streets, but they aren't numerous.

The only notable feature that has made it outside of concept stage, is the park-esque gazebo in the Mulberry neighborhood. It had a wheelchair ramp once, but assholes told FnF's Lila to get fucked because it "disturbed the historical character of the gazebo". The gazebo has the same name as one of the nearby school teachers (Mrs. Merriweather, who had been teaching first grade where Jason first met Holly and most likely others), so perhaps there is a connection to be made. Or maybe it's just a coincidence and no one noticed. I don't know.

I can say that the town (and in turn the street itself) is surrounded by forest, though. If you look at the example town inspirations I mentioned, much of it is woodsy. As for lakes/ponds, yes and no. Huddeen doesn't have one but there are spotted ponds/lakes near by (Baboosic, for example).

Edit: I should really make a guide to Huddeen, huh. Trying to remember all this information after an overnight shift is tiring lol
