» 1. always night - sure is dark, huh? has it always been so late so long?
» 2. camp unsafe isn't safe anymore - wasn't summer camp supposed to be, like, fun and stuff? » 3. new house new problems - this place is perfect and you got such a good dealon it, what could go wrong? » 4. the calls are coming from inside the house - there's no sign of a break-in, so what's with all the creepy shit going on in the house? » 5. the little shop that wasn't there yesterday - well, it wasn't. the shop keeper seems...fine. as fine as "suspicious" can get, at least. » 6. don't go in the woods - there's a reason no one tells you to actually go into the woods » 7. abandoned hospital - doesn't every town have one of these creepy things on the outskirts? » 8. haunted castle - sure, it was a nice place to run into as shelter from the rain, but who--or what--is waiting for you inside? » 9. town with a dark secret - people are being real shifty about their town for no apparent reason |

» 1. costumes - costumes!!! the best part! there's probably a contest, maybe with cash prizes if the host is generous enough, or maybe just bragging rights until next year.
» 2. party games - there's bobbing for apples, pin the face piece on the pumpkin (if that's a thing), group card games...plenty of options out there! » 3. selfie corner - it's a fold-up table with all kinds of props and a selfie stick on it, have fun! » 4. dance floor - either a dj is controlling the music or someone's spotify playlist. either way, it's time to get dancing and show off your moves! » 5. buffet - pizza? potluck? desserts??? spiked punch??? who knows what the spread's like! » 6. bar - might be a paid-for open bar or just an assortment of beers and wine coolers. » 7. quiet rooms - need a break? the guest bedroom is free to chill out in. or the bathroom if that's your thing. » 8. the host's pets - know who's better than people? the dog and/or the cat. » 9. going home - party's over, are you helping with clean up or are you dragging yourself home? |

Egg has been watching the humans for years but she can't remember anyone ever coming this far into the woods. Stranger yet, she has a corpse in a wheelbarrow. Had. Had a corpse in a wheelbarrow. Egg wonders if this human can't see or just wasn't looking. It must be difficult to be a human, to be so weak and so afraid. Is there anything she can do to help?
She observes the situation for a moment longer, taking in the waves of stress coming off of the human below. Suddenly, an apple drops from somewhere above Tabris and lands a little too perfectly right in front of her knees.]

[She hesitates for a moment, half convinced it was a bird dropping dead at her feet, but hell, she's done worse things than touch a dead animal today. She reaches out for it, and makes a soft noise of confusion when her fingers find some kind of fruit. She smooths a thumb over the skin of it-- an apple, maybe? It feels like one.]
What the...
[She raises it close enough to her face to smell, and yeah, it's an apple-- she might as well have picked it straight from an orchard. Are there apple trees in the woods? And isn't it usually rotten apples that fall of the tree? Either way, she still isn't eating it.]
[It was enough of a surprise to knock her out of her spiraling thoughts, though. She takes a deep breath and stands up, apple still in hand. She got Vaughan into the wheelbarrow once, she can get him into it again.]

Egg looks away from Tabris for a moment to get a sense of her likely path. If she could see, Tabris would probably take the path to the left toward the clearing. The wagon would move much easier through there, wherever she's going.
Down below small glowing lights, like fireflies, appear near the ground to light the way.]
no subject
[There's no way to write that off as a coincidence.]
Holy shit.
[It's barely a breath, a sound of mixed awe and fear. She turns from the lights, searching what she can see of the trees around her. Her heart is pounding, a tick up from the numb horror of the previous hour, alone in the dark.]
Who's-- Who's there?
[She's painfully aware of how alone she is right now, more vulnerable than she's ever been.]

A shadow with glowing eyes drops down from a tree near Tabris. Or, well, drops isn't exactly right. The shadow appears to grow down from the tree as if roots were forming from a branch, then releases from the branch and quickly shrinks down to about Tabris's height. She steps into the dim light, revealing a human-shaped body with cracked, bark-like, brown skin, mossy green hair, and a set of long deer-like antlers that twist around themselves rather than branching out. If it wasn't for the added light or the glowing eyes Tabris might not be able to spot her even standing this close, she looks like she's made out of the trees.
Egg takes another step closer, revealing that shapes have been carved into the bark of her skin. When she gets closer she notices that she's still taller than Tabris and shrinks further so she can meet her eyes directly. She opens her mouth and the voice that comes out sounds like a mixture of several voices and tones, like a stitched together recording forced into words.]
Hello, I'm Egg. Who are you?
