Vivienne had started to calm down from her earlier panic as she wandered around the first floor of the god forsaken Wildwood Masters Library which she had so foolishly entered. The sources of the growls that had so spooked the Spooktator seem to have let her escape in peace. Perhaps they had gone after the other hapless girl who had followed Vivi into the library. Vivienne never had learned that girl’s name. With a shudder, Vivi realized that learning her name might have become a moot point if the beings she had heard had reached the girl.

Vivi began to consider her situation; none of her observations were comforting. She had assumed that this situation was some kind of nightmare, but her sense of self awareness was inconsistent with the way she typically felt when she was dreaming. Furthermore, she couldn't make herself wake up, which was her usual solution to such wretched dreams. That meant that she had to find a way out of this terrible place, and the only route she knew of was locked and potentially guarded by terrible beasts.

Vivienne was broken from her reverie by a series of sounds. She heard some kind of motion, followed a few moments later by several impact noises, as if multiple objects had fallen to the floor. With no small amount of trepidation, Vivi moved toward the sound to investigate. She found several objects laid out on the floor ahead, and as she approached them through the gloom, she could make out that they were books.

Then she thought she heard footsteps nearby, and though she looked around frantically for the source, she could not make out any figures through the gloom. Although Vivienne wasn't convinced that the sound of footsteps had been her imagination, when she heard no more, she cautiously resumed her inspection of the fallen books. What she saw only freaked her out even further. A dark dust on the cover book she had lifted made out the form of a slash as if from a clawed beast. In this place, it didn't take much for her imagination to run wild in all the worst ways. Vivi didn't believe in werewolves, but then again, she didn't believe in ghosts either, yet she had seen the latter with her own eyes. If there were ghosts here, why couldn't there be werewolves as well?

Vivienne felt panic rising within her again; her trembling hands were unable to retain a grip on the defaced book, which fell to the ground with a thud. Vivi backed away, searching and listening for any sign of whatever creature had done this…

New to the site but not to the game!

Hello! Welcome to Roleplayer guild!

I am under the impression that there is a thriving community for doing what we call 1 × 1 roleplays here, which appears to me to be the type of interaction you are seeking. Someone more involved in that scene can hopefully give you more details than me on how to go about participating in that community.

I was hoping to give @kailie (the name change is throwing me for a bit of a loop) a chance to write a follow-up post, but I am guessing she is otherwise occupied.

@leopard and @Bugzzilla I will get out a post today.

hello

Hello rad, welcome to RPG!

Wait.. The Door's Locked! - Haunted Library Sign-Ups

If anyone else is considering this RP, I would like having another human "victim" to work with too.

That said, I am looking forward to getting chased around by Alistar, lol.

Hey folks!

Welcome!

Vivi had experienced the strangest dream. She had followed some cat who had stolen her camera into a dilapidated library, only for the cat to then turn into a shadowy red eyed monster, after which she had been confronted by a ghost missing half her leg, who had subsequently taunted Vivi about tricking her into coming. This hadn't been Vivi’s first dream about ghosts (immersing herself in America’s haunted attractions and lore had resulted in Vivi having dreams about supernatural creatures more than she cared to admit), but something about this dream felt more real somehow.

Then she heard the growls. Vivi found herself sprawled on a dusty floor. As she looked in the direction of the noises, she thought she saw shadowy beings and more terrible glowing eyes. Terror seized her. Vivienne had not yet escaped the nightmare. Vivi scrambled to her feet and sprinted in some random direction between shelves away from the eyes. Soon she reached a wall. She could go left or right, but either way, there were dusty bookshelves as far as the eye could see. What now?

Wildwood Masters Library - Haunted Library RP

I am thinking about proceeding one of two ways.

The first way would be for me to write the next post and have Vivi wake up, hear the coming monsters, and flee in a panic in a random direction.

The second way would be for me to let Isla write the next post, give Lark an opportunity to help Vivi up, and then Vivi will follow Lark away from the monsters.

The second option will most likely result in Vivi and Lark staying together for awhile, while the first option will potentially result in Vivi and Lark separating if Lark doesn't/isn't able to pursue and keep up with Vivi.

@isla@leopard wcue Do you have a preference regarding which option I/we go with, or do you have an alternative plan?

Vivienne trembled as she beheld the transformation of the spectre and heard her speak. There was no way this floating corpse could have been the one to inform Vivienne of this place. That was- this whole situation was...

"Impossible," Vivi giggled hysterically, a strange feeling coming over her. She didn't know whether to laugh, scream, or cry. Vivienne staggered away from the creature; her knees buckled and she swooned. As Vivi's senses abandoned her, she collapsed backwards, falling with a thud onto the dusty floor.

Vivienne was feeling suitably unsettled by the barrage of seemingly supernatural phenomena that she was witnessing. She had very nearly convinced herself that the transformation of the cat and the appearance of the spectral thing before her were tricks of the light interacting with the dust, when the girl that had followed Vivi into the Library shouted “River!”

The spectre did look rather humanoid now that the girl mentioned it, and Vivi did not see anything else that appeared riverine in the vicinity. However, Vivienne had been to plenty of haunted attractions and had done quite a bit of research on supposedly supernatural phenomena, and however much she sometimes liked to pretend on her YouTube channel otherwise, she knew that ghosts did not exist. There was no way the blueish form in front of her was an actual spirit of a deceased person…

“Do you- do you kn-know each other?” Vivienne stammered.
