42 days till Halloween [video]

_{[The first thing Johto is treated to is a blurry 'gear-video shot of a book cover. Jack realizes this eventually and pulls it away so that it comes into focus. The cover is black with a single, bold word on it.]

[DIG]}

I bought a copy of this for a friend last year, but I don't think I told anyone else about it. I think this has to be the very best horror story I've come across since arriving in Johto. It's about a man who ventures into Diglett's Cave and becomes horribly lost...which is a feat since that cave is one of the less complicated ones that I've heard off.

_{[His face blanks momentarily as he remembers the horrors of Union cave...then his smile returns.]}

There's more to it than that, but I wouldn't want to give anything away! I know all of you have horror stories where you're from. Tell me about them!

(OOC: GET YER A/C HERE! FRESH HOT A/C HELP FOR EVERYONE!)

Horror Stories? Well, there is the one about the Horseless Headless Horsemann... [It could be fun to let off a little steam and tell a story. She's not doing anything else.]

I would, but I don't think I've read too many horror stories.

How on earth does sssomeone get lost in Diglett's Cave? Don't get me wrong, it's a horrible place, and the sssooner it's destroyed, the better, but how? You'd have to be a complete idiot to get lost in there!

[Robin's interest is instantly piqued when she sees the book. The question about horror stories puts the memory of someone else in her mind, someone very dear to her.]

There once was a pirate man who died at sea. He had the gift of life, however, and so his soul did not pass on to wherever it is souls are meant to go after death. Instead, the soul floated around the lonely sea, as the place where the man had died was filled with thick mist. For fifty years it roamed the waves, until at last it found his ship. Upon entering, the man's soul saw that the man's body had rotted away, and only the bones remained. With a cheerful cry the soul dove in, the skeleton sat up, then stood and walked. He looked upon the remains of his beloved crew, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Except, he had no eyes.

Skull joke. Yohohohoho!

A horror story, eh? I might know one... except this really happened.

[He makes a brief pause, setting himself comfortably to tell the story and clears his throat before continuing:]

A long, long time ago, a pair of siblings, a boy and a girl, lived alone in a beautiful mansion. The girl got seriously ill and her brother took care of her as much as he could -- he tried so hard, he got sick himself and passed away. As if following him, the girl soon died, too, and the mansion was left untouched for years, thick forest growing around it.

Many, many years later, a strange rumor has been spread across the nearby city: it seemed that whoever went into that forest, vanished into thin air, causing the locals to start calling it the "Spirited Away Forest". That was when two siblings, a boy and a girl -- let's call them Leo and Luna to protect the innocent -- went to the forest to see with their own eyes if it's really haunted. But soon they got separated, and the girl found herself in front of a huge mansion. There, she met a boy around her age, who warned her about evil spirits lingering in the forest, and offered her to stay at his place and play with his sister. Luna agreed, eager to meet the other girl.

Meanwhile, Leo has already made his way to the mansion, looking for his missing sister. The boy left to confront him, but not before locking Ru-- Luna up in the room that used to belong to his sister, who turned out to have died long ago. The boys decided to have a duel, but as Leo soon found out, it wasn't a normal one -- with each Life Point he lost, he also lost his strength... a minute after minute, life was slowly escaping from him and soon, as his Life Points hit zero, he drew his last breath.

On that night, the mansion disappeared, never to be seen again. However, they say that on foggy evenings, the screams of people who had been spirited away can be heard, along with the voice of a young girl desperately calling her brother's name...

I'm afraid that I don't read much horror stories, so I don't have much to tell. Perhaps I should pick up the book you have there.

[ He needs something new to read and if someone recommends it, he wouldn't mind giving it a try. ]

_{[... Telling a horror story to one of the spooky childhood icons of EVERY 90'S KID IN EXISTENCE? ... Well, it would be awesome, though with Heather's experience, she almost feels like it'd be cheating.]}

Lookin' for horror stories, huh?

[Telling Jack one of the many horror-stories that have cropped up in Harry's own life would be all too easy, but pretty depressing, too.]

I was always a little partial to 'Hammerhands', myself. Bunch of drunken teams push an old farmer onto some train-tracks. The farmer escapes, but loses his hands and goes nuts in the process.

He straps a pair of sledgehammer heads onto his wrists and goes to get revenge.

[Clearly the height of cinema.]
