A Twisted Mind's Twisted Search For Twisted Friends

Bump. Still hunting partners. Long days are always made better by friends.

- Asylum - CLOSED (Two More Potential Partners pending) [3/4] (Horror/Action/Mystery)

I live in the Eastern Time Zone and am able to post many times throughout the day. So I was wondering what time the rest of you are likely to be on.

@Aisling

I'm also EST and post as my partners respond, but am online often/check when I feel may be needed.

Edit: I do sometimes falter due to school or personal reasons, but I try to at least give fair warning.

- Asylum - CLOSED (Two More Potential Partners pending) [3/4] (Horror/Action/Mystery)

I have decided. I will join. Still working on a character, which might take me a hot minute(sry).

Dreadlight Manor

After a while, Bella stood and warily approached the other four, closely followed by her older brother. The girl seemed much younger than she was compared to the man following her. Zarius wasn't a danger to her but could appear to some as somebody who would hurt a girl like her. He held himself bold, despite the fear that radiated throughout the place. He stood about a foot behind Bella when the girl stopped.
"Hello," Bella said to the other four. It wasn't much of a statement, and her voice was quiet, but in the near silence of the place, her voice had the chance to be heard if one was quiet enough to hear her. She waited a few seconds before stepping back only once, retreating into Zarius's comforting grasp.
Zarius put an arm over her shoulder, pulling his sister close. He knew she was scared, and he was too. But he had to be the bigger person and keep her safe- even if it meant putting his fear aside.

@Twisted Mind That's such a tough question, tbh! I really adore Halloween 4 - that was my first introduction into the genre when I was around 6 or 7. So it's definitely a comfort film for me. I'm trying to think of a singular favorite and I honestly can't. Scream is a classic. As Above; So Below and The Descent are also up there. I just watched Barbarian recently and adored it. I could talk about horror all day, but as far as favorites go it's difficult! Do you like scary movies?

@SunDuck

Do I- yes. Like is an understatement. Horror movies are almost always good- cliche sometimes but... yk, still good. My personal "favorite" (alright I don't have a favorite) is probably either Scream(I sound cliche- ugh) or The Collector, or maybe M3gan, which I watched recently.

Welcome!

@SunDuck What's your favorite horror movie?

This has my attention. I'll need to think before saying I'll join for sure but... I probably will.

Dreadlight Manor

Bella watched the others, glancing worriedly at her brother sometimes. "Shouldn't we talk to the others and see if they know anything, Zari?" She asked quietly after a while. She watched Zarius for some form of reaction, but it takes him a while to respond to her, and when he does, his voice is disturbed. He can't know. He can't know, The girl thought, shivering a bit.
"I guess we should, Bella. But tell me what you see in that painting..." Zarius indicated the same painting Firion had noticed. He shivered. Something was seriously off about this place, and he wanted to know what his sister thought of it. Of course, the girl didn't respond for almost a solid five minutes, in which time Zarius knows something is bothering her. But he doesn't ask what's wrong, not wanting to startle his sister by being pushy.
"Zari... look over there..." Bella pointed to a small dresser, upon which sat a small doll with faded features. The doll looked scarily similar to Bella, with very few obvious differences. It was even wearing the same outfit. But there was one difference compaired to the girl. The doll, see, had blue eyes. Bella, well, she now had gray eyes.
Zarius turned and looked in the direction his sister was pointing, shock and fear crossing his face. "Uh... what the h*ll?" He muttered, slowly making his way over to his sister. He stood close to her, as if to protect her from whatever unseen threat there was. Of course, this was before he realized what she was...

Dreadlight Manor

Zarius Meri groaned, slowly standing. He looked around for his sister, Bella. After identifying where she was, sitting cross-legged on the floor, silent as ever, he studied the room, listening to the talk of the other two. He shivered. Something is off about this place. I don't like it. Why is- why is Bella just sitting there...? His sister still hadn't moved, and he was concerned about that. Of course, he didn't show it as he went over to the girl, who seemed to be frozen.
Bella Meri blinked, turning her head to look at her brother. She wasn't supposed to let him know she knew where they were, and why they were there. She was one of the first, and she regretted her decision to allow the Original to bring Zarius here. "Where are we, Zarius?" She asked her brother quietly, her eyes flicking nervously to Bartz and Firion.
"I dunno, sis. But we'll be fine. We'll find a way to leave and-" Zarius glanced at the others. "And we'll go home. Just us." He whispered the last part, not wanting strangers to hear. He knew his sister was probably scared, and he didn't want to scare her more.
"But... what if we can't leave, Zari...?" Bella whimpered, not changing her position though her tone was that of fear. She wanted to go home. She wanted to send Zarius back home. She wanted to be the only one of the Meri family who got turned, knowing it wasn't safe for the others.
