RE: [Event] Doctor's Fun's Funhouse of Fun - Blastocyst - Oct 24 2026
Blasty was very, very taken aback by... well, not the appearance so much as the attitude of the surrounding company that would come to follow him. When you walk into Halloween Town, you kind of can't say you didn't expect Halloween people. But you could be reasonably surprised if they all started acting like they were as creeped out by all of this eerie ghoulishness as you were. Seriously, V-Opal-One dwarfed Blasty in every conceivable way and yet that one had the gall to say this was spooky for them. Eleven looked like a creature ripped out of Blasty's worst kitten nightmares, and yet all it had to say was a casual 'Hey do you guys know what's going on?'
Was this patch of darkness actually much scarier than Blasty had first assumed? Did they all know something he didn't?
He continued in a somewhat less courageous march than before. Continuing still perhaps because it was what he had set his sights on from the start and he had determined himself to do it. Maybe it was also because it's where everyone else was going, and he had only ever been around one real other person before. Mainly it was because he was too hungry and tired to think about heading back in a direction where he knew there was nothing for him. He tried for his own sake to continue to be brave in the face of this unknown and the malnourished paranoia starting to itch away at his skin. Maybe he could have a little fun. Everything about that sentiment made him hurt.
It wouldn't be too long before he saw what everyone was there for. A man with a weird head and weird clothes and a strange, spooky house. A house with... dinner? Food?! A kitchen?!?! And it was where all the other cats and that silly large creature were going. Blasty would not be dissuaded from free food. And maybe friends!! Maybe. But let's not get too far ahead of ourselves.
OOC: Blastocyst is going to the kitchen.
RE: [Event] Doctor's Fun's Funhouse of Fun - Vestyge - Oct 24 2026
Vestyge felt Luna's weight wordlessly slide of his back, and with it brought some relief. He was free to pursue whatever grabbed his attention independently, but he also reflected on what this new conflict could mean for their business relationship at this time. Was he burning out? What did he have outside of this job, if he could even call it that?
He watched the little pale shape disappear to his right, pondering how he'd let this little shrimp of a Gembound determine the course of his new life. To move on to greener pastures required another pasture to move to. Vestyge was doubtful that another option existed.
What better place to have this crisis in the dark, yawning depths through the doorway at the back?
RE: [Event] Doctor's Fun's Funhouse of Fun - Isosceles - Oct 24 2026
Isosceles was freaking the frick out further and further as the path and surrounding strangers become eerier and eerier. More and more ghastly in shape, in size, in silence. Isosceles was trembling, though it might be hard for such tall creatures to see. It was merely a bug in their presence. Eep! Terrifying.
However, as cowardly as the bug-bird was, it was also set in its staunch refusal to give this place or these monsters an inch of satisfaction at its fear! (An inch that, I must add, no one is really that hell bent on taking.)
Isosceles did to Eleven what I love to do when I can't hear what someone said very well but I also don't want to ask them to repeat themselves or be forced to engage: it pretended to be all the way deaf instead of partially deaf.
Fortunately for Doctor Fun, on the other hand, his crowing calls were much more difficult to willfully ignore. Isosceles cowered through the doorframe and tried to avoid any further interaction or attention from anyone as it trundled through the least scary-looking area of the property: the totally-not-hunted-i-mean-haunted garden.
OOC: Isosceles is going to the garden.
RE: [Event] Doctor's Fun's Funhouse of Fun - Crypt - Oct 24 2026
Crypt stretched upward, leaning back on his tail as he scoped out the two whole stories of the sprawling mansion ahead. This was weird, all of it - the looks he was getting, all the glowing faces who looked like what he saw in river reflections, or in the many faces of gemstones.
He scratched his belly idley, head tilting this way and that as he paused again to soak in the interior design.
Said belly churned eagerly at the suggestion of a meal. He slid easily towards the doorway to the right, unaware of the family drama unfolding just a few metres away.
RE: [Event] Doctor's Fun's Funhouse of Fun - Thalassa - Oct 24 2026
Thalassa had nothing of note to contribute to the conversation, so it said nothing. Some would benefit from this habit.
The mansion was startling, if only because it definitely shouldn't be here, in Pegasus, cloaked in supernaturally thick fog to hide its tall silhouette. Was it magic? A paw stepping down on the first, creaky floorboard confirmed this apparition's tangibility.
What kind of power could manifest a building like this? With such detail, too. Iron chandeliers swung, cobwebs crawled with quick black spiders. It was as if this place had always been here, lying in wait.
Thalassa hoped, maybe naively, that it had been waiting for her. She approached the darkness within the doorway at the back, hoping to find answers hidden in the room beyond.
RE: [Event] Doctor's Fun's Funhouse of Fun - Gaheris - Oct 24 2026
She bowed her head politely as she made her way through the doorway, taking care that her antlers didn't catch. Gaheris briefly considered the upstairs, but decided that the room was too cramped for a take-off. Instead, she followed Doctor Fun through the door to the right, eager to learn some tricks (or treats) from a professional.

The mansion before it reminded Durathror of the palace nearby.
It was not worth destroying, but that did not mean she forgave it for existing. It would crumble under its own weight, with time. A few more cycles, maybe. Ashes to ashes.
A snarl at no one peeled her lip back, her angry orange gums burning holes into nearby retinas. Food could excuse this mess. Good food. She headed through the doorway to the right.
RE: [Event] Doctor's Fun's Funhouse of Fun - Ailbhe - Oct 24 2026
The stranger that appears has Ailbhe considering turning back. The suspicious whispering left much to be desired. Although... The paths were interesting. Ailbhe could take a short look, right? And the potential to make new friends, oh this could be such a lovely time!
Their wings wiggle close to their body as they decide which way to go. The overgrown area - garden seems the most interesting. It was... Ah, perhaps a bit scary. But gardens are always good! Papa Oliver's garden is very good. Maybe this one will be the same?
going to the garden
RE: [Event] Doctor's Fun's Funhouse of Fun - Carcass - Oct 24 2026
Carcass avoids the growing crowds to decide on a way to go. The garden is unappealing, it already waded through a dark forest to get here. Doing it again would simply be a slog.
Having a meal would be nice, but Carcass is not fond of trusting what this guy cooked up. Something about him was... Suspicious. The stranger being a bird does give him a leg up compared to if he were not. However, the spooky nature of the place has it second guessing.
Dark, scary cavern it is then!
This better not be a stupid prank.
going straight ahead, to the dark space
