☆TRACK IX: LIKE A GHOST
Who: Everyone!
What: The ghosts are back, and they've brought you some FEELS.
When: April 18th-21st.
Where: Predominantly outside of the label HQ walls. Occasionally inside, too.
Warnings: The usual.

“'Cause the world might do me in. It's alright 'cause I'm with friends. Guess I'm giving up again... It doesn't matter.” ☆LIKE A GHOST  The spirits that have walked the halls of the label towers for months now have returned once again - and while the last time they appeared they were pleading for your help, this time they are here to offer their aid in return. All four ghosts will be trying to find all musicians and rescuers aligned to their spiritual emotion in order to bestow some sweet spectral gifts open them. Some of you may have met them already, some of you may have not. While in the past their identities were a mystery, in their last encounter with the labels it was shown that they are in fact the spirits of the late Crescendolls, a former Virgo band that claims to have been murdered by Lesedi Santiago. Though most will still be unaware of this, they may have a chance to ask questions today. These are the four naked alien spirits who will be visiting, and the emotion they align to: ► Duty: Brave, dedicated, and willful, Arpegius is the lead guitarist and the sort of guy who will fight you or for you for all the right reasons. He's street smart enough to know how to choose his battles. ► Passion: Young, boisterous, and a little bit crass, Baryl is the drummer of the band and as compassionate as he is rowdy when he slows down enough to be. ► Hope: Inspired, intelligent, and chill, Octave is the keyboardist and lead singer. He's the most mature of the group and was also the oldest - before they all died, anyway. Still, he manages to be proactive about his ghostly status. ► Love: Quiet, mysterious, and surprisingly capable of being a badass, Stella is the basist of the group. From the outside she may appear to be almost stereotypically demure, but there is an emotional strength inside that not many get to see. ☆THE GIFTS They will not be able to spend much time with each person, nor will they be inclined to go near the HQs if they can avoid it. But they will be able to communicate with each person briefly if they share an alignment, in order to give them one of the following gift, of which every character in the game may pick one.► Knowledge: You can ask your ghost a question about the in-game situation (they don't know anything about your home life so don't ask them about that) and they'll answer with any information they've gathered as an invisible ghost witness or go seek it out for you. ► Strength: The ghost will leave part of their power with you, in the form of a burst of spiritual strength you can access at a moment of your choice. Generally speaking this will manifest in a manner similar to an "adrenaline rush" or "last effort" energy boost where your character's physical strength or abilities increase 50% - 100% for a short period of time. The more powerful the boost the shorter time it will last. It works even better if, at the moment of its triggering, you are deeply in tune with the emotion you and the ghost represents. ► Healing: Your ghost will attempt to heal you physically or emotionally - this isn't the best for severe physical wounds, but it is very good for unlocking mental blocks or helping you get past trauma in order to pursue the greater good. This can be used for a large memory regain or to sooth any kind of mental trauma that is holding your character back. Effectiveness varies from person to person, but the treatment will be focused around enhancing the emotional alignment shared between the ghost and you. EDIT: Healing can be given to someone else immediately, but can't be stored like Strength and Protection can, unless you work out something specific with your ghost. ► Protection: Much like the strength boon, this is a power left with you by the ghost that can be triggered at a future moment. Instead of enhancing your abilities however, it will act as a physical or mental defense against one potentially deadly assault. This gift can also be transferred to another person at the recipient's request. The ghosts will be you their magic ghost dust, promise that they will be watching and protecting you where they can, and then be on their way. However, those who helped rescue them during the In Reaching Out plot will get something a little bit extra. (IE, those who participated in the Ghost Quest plot.) They'll both get their immediate pick of one of the above boons as well as: ► Spirit Summon: Your aligned spirit will give each Ghost Quest participant the ability to summon them for direct aid on one occasion, in the form of a small ectoplasmic token. Their arrival can be used for anything they are capable of pulling off with their ghost magics that they don't find morally objectionable. Basically, a ghost will appear and help you out when you need it. Choose wisely. Along with all these gifts, each ghost will be bolstering the emotional aspect you share. Love alignment people will feel strengthened by the power of their love, Hopes will feel increasingly hopeful and capable, and etc. This is not something that will make them behave destructively - it is a positive blessing speaking to the strongest sides of their patron emotion. Keep in mind that these spirits do have wills of their own, and being rude or dismissive towards them will result in them passing you by. Boons will only go towards those that seem like they will be using them for good intent. ADDITIONAL NOTE: During and after this event, musicians will be able to regain memories of their capture as well the occasional flash of their initial programming! “Had me feeling like a ghost, And that's what I hate the most. Guess I'm giving up again... This time I might just disappear.” |
Superbia Squalo // ota // let's get this ball rolling
[ There's plenty of reasons to get out of the HQ - concerts, clubs, buying new stuff, taking a walk or a bike out for a ride, and so on. Usually it's just pleasant to get a little further from the label's watchful eye, but this time, there's an extra kick. ]
[ So that's how the 'ghosts' looked, huh? He's cautious but he does his best to mind his manners, and there he is now, sitting on a park bench looking
like he'd just seen a ghosta little dumbfounded. Sure enough, he's just got a promise of protection for Xanxus. Which... adjusts his plans a little, really. Why bother staying on the good side of someone whose best offer would be to postpone the killing of someone, when someone else might actively work to save them? If this is true, he might need to rethink his approach. ][ First, though, he wants to make sure he's not being played. So he'll be on a look out for Xanxus. Maybe even try to call him to find out where he is. ]
[ And then, someone had decided to give protection to him, which is both annoying because he doesn't think he needs it, and intriguing, because it's not a name he thinks he recognizes - except it totally is, from another time and place, and it's got him all kinds of confused. ]
[ And what to guys do when they're confused? Go drinking, obviously. ]
[ You can pretty much find him anywhere in the city that serves booze. Good luck. ]
no subject
He was doner than done. He's at Honey Badger levels of not caring. Yeah, he gets the call. He's answer is with his location and then just hang up because he's not in the mood to chat on the phone. Who knows if that shit is tapped. Whatever. ]
So you found me.
[ How many bottles down is he? Too damn many. ]
no subject
[ Squalo walks over to him, looking a little done himself, though nowhere near on those levels since his ghost had at least been useful, and takes a seat at the bar by his side, snorting. ]
Wasn't exactly hard. Just follow the sound of livers and little kids crying.
[ Also, you know, he called you to ask where to find you. He motions at the bartender to get him a drink, too. ]
Weird day huh?
no subject
[ Despite how done he is, Squalo is getting a kick from him. Just boot to the shin because he's pissed and he can. ]
Understatement. Most fucked up waste of my damn time yet.
[ No, he's not going to tell Squalo that some ghost came and bestowed protection upon him from Squalo. Because damn it, he can protect himself! Maybe. Kind of. Not really, but whatever. ]
Almost makes me wish I hadn't quit. Least then I could get stoned and not give a flying fuck. But that's not happening. That shitty for you too?
no subject
[ He'll get an angry sound for that. ]
-- Vooi!
[ And too bad, because he's totally gonna ask. Maybe. ]
I'm not too hot for ghosts. [ Mostly because imagine the army that would come after him if ghosts were a thing. He scrunches his nose a bit. ] Rebound sucks. There're other things you can do to a similar effect. Speed, violence, whatever. [ He just might let you drive that bike of his. :/ ]
no subject
Definitely hate their guts. Most worthless fucks. Should have just stayed dead. Lot of help they are. [ Yeah. There would be ghost lines all the way around the corner waiting to haunt them. ] And it blows hard. Super hard and not in a good way. That shit was great for calming my ass down.
[ Look who used heroin as replacement for his regular dosages of Calm the Fuck Down Flames. Without it, he's quickly going back to his volatile old ways. ]
And right now I fucking need it because I hate wasting my damn time on worthless shit. And I hate even more than I'm probably going to break a promise...
[ yep, the one thing he can't stand. ]
no subject
Did... any of them mention me? [ Hahaha. ]
[ He might have Calm the Fuck Down Flames back soon enough, but in the meantime, he'll have to make due with what he's got. ]
[ Meanwhile, Squalo is really getting the feeling that he's supposed to be great for calming Xanxus' ass down, though it's still a bit unclear. He remembers blue flames. He's noticed how his friends seem to like holding onto him... but nothing manifests in his hand, ever, no matter how hard he tries to focus. Not like Xanxus' flame at all. ]
[ Something's missing. He frowns. ]
What kind of promise?
no subject
Yeah. One of them did. The more useful one. The other one, that one can fuck right off.
[ He might just shatter the glass in his hand because he's just really pissed that he got nothing but worthless answers. ]
After Predator...I made a promise to Luci. I swore to her that I wouldn't do anything stupid or reckless without telling her. So that she could talk me out of it. I sort of made the same promise to Yuffie too. But...I'm probably going to go do something really really fucking dumb. Something that will ruin the band.
no subject
[ Whoa, dude, calm down. Would violent banging help any? ]
Voooi, stop right there. What kind of dumb, and why can't you tell her about it first?
no subject
[ Specially that last one because yeah...he remembers what it's like to be trapped and unable to get out... though honest he has no idea how to go about any of that other than the leaving part. ]
She's probably tell me no. Because I'd want to take her and Yuffie with me. We're...we're a family, Squalo, and I'm not going to leave them behind to be fucked over by that bitch.
no subject
[ He had his suspicions, but this is hard to take in, anyway. Mei's too good to be anyone's soylent green, damn it. ]
[ Well then, he'll just share the bit that the annoying tall guy gave him. ]
You do realize you're only with them because you'd been kidnapped from your real family.
no subject
[ A frown because like hell he would let himself be kidnapped, but honestly, he sort of already knew in a way. ]
....I know. I broke Omerta and told Luci I was Mafia once. I remember that much. I'm mafia and I'm going to be the Don of Dons. But I'm also part of the Carnival and I can't just abandon them.
no subject
[ What exactly they can do about it he's not sure yet, but --
[ Wait. Waaaait. ]
[ His mildly bored expression shifts into a wide-eyed one and he stares at Xanxus for a few moments. ]
Mafia?
[ If -- if he's in the mafia, then -- ]
no subject
Yeah. The mob. Organized crime. You remember all that fun shit I told you. About killing some fucks. Mafia business. And me, one day, I'm going to lead the entire Family. I'll sit on this kick ass throne and wear this awesome ring and I'll pretty much control most of the crime world. And you're my number 2... I think...
[ Yeah, he's sort of still figuring out where Squalo plays in all that. ] And I guess when I die, our kids will inherit the throne. At least our little girl will. The boy...those fuckers have this thing about blood or something. Though I'm going to fix that stupid bylaw.
[ Though Xanxus feels super weird saying that stuff because there's still that lingering brainwashing that says he's in a punk band and that he wasn't any of that. It's probably all just a hallucination after too many drugs and a Godfather marathon. ]
no subject
[ And he's totally remembering other things now. Claiming the Independent Assassination Squad Varia as his own, and passing it along to someone who he thought was the better boss out of them two. A set of rings, one of them on his own hand. Setting up a battle to become the guardians of Vongola... ]
[ Frankly, the news that he may or may not be Xanxus' second is one of the least shocking discoveries here. ]
[ But then that next part enrages him more than it should. ]
How fucking bullshit is that? My son will make his own legacy no matter what blood runs in him!
[ Ah look at that Bel, mom believes in you so much. ]
no subject
[ He had the same reaction the first time he figured it out, to be honest. But the longer he has these memories the easier it gets to see himself in them. ]
It's the goddamn law but that's why I'm going to become the Boss. So that I can change that law. So that our son can have the same chances as our daughter. Blood won't meant shit. Skill and power will decide.
no subject
Oh? That's not like you. Playing by someone else's rules. [ He smirks, almost as if to himself. Yeah, he's totally remembering a certain spirited speech of his. ] You'll bend those laws until they break and sear the opposition.
no subject
I am...And you're going to be there to see it. Somehow. We have to beat this shit first though. And I don't know fucking how. And that shit was zero help. Just said we needed to and that there was help on the outside.
no subject
"Somehow"? Of course I'm gonna fucking be there. I'll watch the flames dance and the ashes fall. [ He glances back with a dead-eyed expression and switches to Italian, just in case. ] Well that's annoying. Can't believe I'm saying this, but our best bet might be getting as many people as possible to team up. And that'd be easier outside of the label's reach.
