Dunwich: A Creepypasta Panfandom Game

( text messages to lance )

Mark Bennett is currently missing - and we believe he's in wolf form. He has not been sent home as far as we know, but he was last seen running into the woods. I'm asking that, for now, unless you absolutely have to go into the woods, you give them wide berth until he's back home and safe.

If anyone hears from him or sees him, please let one of us - Carter, Gordo, or me - know right away.

[Pack + includes Luke, Gordo, and any pack adjacent]

We're going to be searching for him, of course, and I know you all want to help, but someone will have to stay here at the house in case he comes back, and I don't want any of us alone right now. We can take shifts, but the last thing we need is everyone running off in different directions. There's only so far he can go before he hits the ghost line, and I'd really like it if we can find him before we run into another case of mass amnesia.

If you ain't know, I'm a medium. I speak to those beyond the grave more often than is normal, but the past month been a bit crazy on that front. But if you need my services to help make sense of any ghost been showing up, let me know. Been able to help some folk out so far.

[Private to Keith Kogane]

So, it took me a minute, but I was able to talk to that ghost was trying to get ahold of you.

Her name is Atria. And she a cat. She just want some toys to play with and thought you a kind soul who could help her out. I did the honor of playing with her a bit and she ghost purred, which is a thing ghost cats can do, if you didn't know.

Hope that ease your mind some. Maybe put out some toys for her, she leave you be.

If you see a blue and black wolf that was there one minute and gone the next, don't worry, you're not going crazy. That's just Kosmo. He's friendly unless you're not friendly, then all bets are off.

Still think this place is insane and I would love to leave, but thanks for giving me my friend I guess.


[ooc; If anyone wants to say that Kosmo teleported through their apartment at Pickman while he was trying to find Keith today, feel free!]

A few months ago, I asked for people with potential for emergency responders. I think it's time to not only update that, but put some people in charge of aspects of it.

• SEARCH AND RESCUE: There's a very specific set of skills needed for search and rescue. Physical training is an absolute necessity. FEMA has training courses to develop your Search and Rescue skills. I won't be taking anyone in this position who does not have a certification in first aid or CPR. Especially give that Sam Wilson does training for this on Sundays.
  
• FIGHTING: I don't care how you fight, just know that if we get a call for fighting, we're going to need all the people we can get.
  
• MAGIC: Whether this is magical fighting or just spells to dissuade people, clarify.
  
• MEDICAL/HEALING: What it says on the tin. Liv Moore is in charge of Medical here at Mist, so I'm going to put her in charge of this.

YELENA:

Drink?

If anyone is currently being haunted by the ghost of a brother they never knew, let me know. We can have beers together.

[MARK BENNET]

Is that job offer still good?

I don't know what's going on with everyone and their cousin getting messages from dead people and I don't care. Since I've been getting messages from someone still alive, I'd say my shit takes precedence.

Christopher Pike, you might remember him as the silver fox hottie and former sheriff before he disappeared, has found a way to make contact. He keeps texting me pictures, but they disappear after about two seconds. I'm assuming it's Ghost Line interference shit.

I haven't been able to figure it out with magic so I need one of you brainiacs to take a look at my phone, see if you can recover the files, and reverse engineer however the fuck he managed to get the messages through in the first place. He's from some perfect future world so I'm guessing some pretty advanced tech is involved.

We figure this out, maybe we figure out how to get messages home or get shit past the Ghost Line.

Who's with me?

Online introductions are apparently the way to go here. Hi, everyone. I’m Mallory, new arrival and still a little bewildered about everything. This is a very impressive set up. I’ve ever had someone just willingly hand me a cellphone to keep while walking down the street. Or ever. But that solves one problem. Thanks to everyone at MIST for being so incredible to new arrivals.

Don’t go past the boundaries, there’s no known way back, weird things tend to happen, I can stay at Pickman house (thank you), MIST is a key place for all of us, avoid the Church, Time and Again will probably be my favorite place. Anything else I should be aware of from those who’ve already been through this?

Lastly, I hear there is a coven. Is there someone specific I can speak to there? A leader or council I should approach?

Hey, if you're noticing anything weird this month can you hit me up?

I've noticed a few strange posts on the network and I'd appreciate if people checked in about whatever they see going on? It could be just a fluke, but if there's a pattern, it'd probably be a good idea for MIST to have a heads up.

You can message me privately if that's more comfortable. I'm sure it's nothing, it just seems like there's something every month, you know? No one wants to see the hedge maze come back.

Thanks.

ETA: Okay, so it looks like a lot of you are reporting ghosts from loved ones back home and a few of you have powers on the fritz. Just know you aren't alone? And if things progress or get worse, please let me know.


[ETA, ALSO: MIST]

Are the rest of you seeing this? Could we have been getting new arrivals from home that have been coming as ghosts?

You know fuckin what, I am straight not having a good time right now. I can't fuckin sleep with all the ghosts everywhere tryin to get my ass to do this and that. Being a medium is sometimes a burden at the best of goddamn times now this bullshit got me wishing for home.

[Sookie]
How you holding up baby? I ain't doing so good.

GUYS! GUYS!!!! I FOUND A SONG! I FOUND A SONG THAT EXISTS ON MY EARTH AND THIS EARTH!!

LISTEN!

It doesn't even have music video but it was a really big song back on my Earth. I'm trying to listen to the rest of her catalogue to see if any of the others are the same.

What feels like ages ago I promised Sabrina I'd track down a karaoke machine and get a night going at Todash. And then Dunwich Dunwiched so here were are in September.

All that aside, Todash will be hosting karaoke tomorrow night!

What's karaoke you ask? Well, if you've ever wanted to get slightly tipsy to drunk and belt your heart out in front of a bunch of other strangers of varying sobriety to such emotional hits as "My Heart will Go On" and "Total Eclipse of the Heart", or maybe you prefer something more upbeat like "I Wanna Dance with Somebody", or you want to channel your inner boy band dreams and hit up some "I Want it That Way" (or girl band, "Wannabe" is a very valid choice here), karaoke is for you.

So come on down, have some drinks (a shot on the house if you go sing), show off your vocal chops and cheer your fellow Mistakes on.

Gentle ribbing is the name of the game but please do not be an asshole.

KEITH.
You're being all squirrelly, what's up?

Do people just...find homes here, in the same way people just hand you jobs?

VECNA'S VICTIMS (INDIVIDUALLY):

Those of you who went into the trance and started floating, could you check in with me on how you're doing? Any headaches? Phantom pains? Other issues going on? Physical, not mental. Unfortunately, I'm not a therapist or psychologist. This month

Anyone lose a cat? Not Catra, I know she belongs to Adora. But there's been one following me around for most the day that keeps running off whenever I try to check its tag. Black. Yellow eyes. Kind of has an attitude problem with the way it keeps hissing at me whenever I stop to look at it. Getting all kinds of weird vibes from i-

That moment when you're like hey guess I'm stuck here for a while, maybe I should do something nice with all the tip money I've been hoarding... so you buy yourself a bike. Not just any bike. A really nice one. Fast as hell and red because well, it's gotta be red. And then someone decides your new bike should really be their new bike and just helps themselves because what are manners.

Long story short, I'm looking for a new best friend.

Hey, so I know it's the first day, but how do I let my teachers know that I'm sick not feeling good? I looked at my class schedule but I don't see any phone numbers or emails. Students probably have to stay home all the time, right? I mean, not all the time, but this is a totally normal thing that happens sometimes?


[OOC Note 1: Stevie's thumb is over the camera lens. All anyone sees is ... pink.

OOC Note 2: Today is the first day of school for K-12 so if you want your school aged character to go, make sure you spend the activity to enroll them. :D]

Hey. I'm Keith. I've been here for a couple of months but I haven't made one of these yet because I didn't really have much to say? I'm boring like that. Sorry.

But I'm looking for a job. I'm good at flying and driving things, but I'm good at repairing stuff with motors too. I'm good at fighting and stabbing too, but that feels a lot less marketable in the job market.

[ FILTERED TO STEVIE UNIVERSE ]
Hi. I heard you were a big part of the reason why I'm still around and alive. I just wanted to say thank you for that and if you need anything, let me know? I owe you a lot.

Hey so

Say if you, uh, accidentally SOMEHOW start a conversation with someone but in your brain - how do you turn it off? Can I opt out of this? Is there a pill? A surgical procedure I gotta go through? I'm a shit patient but I'll let someone poke around in my head to get rid of this. There is too much ASS being projected into my thoughts because I don't know how to turn this off and I hate it.

SHUT UP KEITH.

I'm officially on my fifth Friday night in this town, and the realization that the only thing I've really done is work, stay late at work to listen to albums, or rewatch Bones is depressing as shit.

Does that tavern in town have pool tables, or a dartboard, and who wants to play a few rounds? Another night listening to oldies and I might drive myself insane, which is a terrible way to spend eternity.

Well. For once I can say I absolutely did NOT do it. A delightful experience.

Aurora Borealis Deckerstar, where are you?

So like.

Has anyone here had random visions? Or you know.

Heard anyone calling their name randomly?

Alternate name suggestions for Joyland... and go!
Mine is Suckland. Creative, I know.

Any objections to a karaoke night? Had a friend request it and managed to track down a machine. I was figuring Thursday maybe, then we're not scaring away any weekend regulars.

Do we have to talk about -
Can I ask you to just let it -
Sorry - for, bolting and shit.

Between the protesters at the station earlier this week and... yesterday, this week kinda sucks. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm ready for the weekend.

Anything fun happening?

Been told I should say hi on this thing, so, hi.

OOC note: Amalthea will usually be using speech to text.

I am unused to small talk. Is anyone else here in the wrong body?

Had someone ask for a Duck Fart shot the other day and since my humor never progressed past that of a 12 year old's, it's the special for tonight at Todash. Half off all the Duck Farts you want.

Pasta okay for dinner? I was gonna make some before I head into work later.
