Gengars on Friday the 13th.

Who: Silver, his Gengar and ~~its victims~~ YOU
What: It's Friday 13^th and Silver is a bored teen with a gengar. Mischief and mayhem ensures.
Where: All around Vatheon
When: Night of Friday 13^th.
Style: I'll match you.
Status: OPEN OPEN OPEN

It wasn't often that Silver hung around after dark, but tonight was special, and he'd swapped his regular jacket out for his black hoodie. It was Friday the 13^th. Around him, his gengar floated grinning wickedly, Silver matching it with a smirk of malice before he waved his hand, signalling that the pokemon could do as it pleased and cause mischief.

It was more a reward, given the ghost type had done well in training and Silver was still getting used to treating the pokemon semi-decently, but tonight... he had no qualms about this. It'd be fun for both for them - and Silver honestly thought he'd been too nice and people-friendly of late. Gengar got to cause mayhem and he'd get to watch the morons scramble around, trying to find the ghost. He wondered if he'd have to step in before things got too bad, but, eh. He really didn't care if anyone got a little hurt by the now invisible ghost's antics.

Whoever they picked first would find their shadows starting move on their own, along with a sudden chill that wouldn't seem to leave them. Gengars were natural heat sinks - it was one of the only ways to tell where the ghost was. Anyone after that would find random objects on or around them possessed and moving with a mind of its own, along with the shadow tricks.

As for Silver? He's somewhere sniggering at all of this, likely with his hood up.

_{[Gosh he just can't get away from the Homunculi, can he? First Roy returns blind and with knowledge of their existence (it was worth holding his tongue just to gauge the reactions of both of his housemates), and now odd little shadows that remind him an awful lot of Pride. Still, there's something very off about the shadows, so it's easy enough to figure out that it's actually not the homunculus that actually startled him, actually brought out fear for that fraction of a second... No, this was something else.

Not to mention there wasn't that big of a chill when Pride was looming over him. It's a good thing he brought his coat tonight.]}

Did you want something?

_{[He couldn't see anyone, but whatever was making his shadow move like that was enough of a signal that someone was around.]}

[The shadow just grinned before it proceeded to do a jig of a dance- this time with a flash of eyes. It still seemed good natured though.

For now.

Play with it, Kimblee. It just wants to play.]

_{[Pride did you guys have a step-sibling that Father never told you about? He is going to have words if anyone ever shows up. So many words.

Well.

Maybe just a few.

He's just going to kind of derp at the dancing for a few seconds.]}

...What?

[Nope. Just a ghost. The chill's noticeable now, too, though soon the dancing stops.

Also, was that your hat? It's sort of floating off now. Up into that tree.

Near a beehive.

The shadows at the base of it seem to have solidified, too. Are they mocking you? Maybe.

Nearby, Silver's now watching, he's not going to let anyone get hurt (that much), but this is amusing.]

_{[

goddamn it.]}

Was that really necessary?

_{[Okay. He can either be a complete idiot and go up after it himself or wait and see what happens.

Or he could just get it down himself, but there's that risk of having a swarm of very, very angry bees in the area. Dilemma, dilemma... Then there's also the matter that he doesn't know just what that thing at the trunk of the tree is and why he feels like he's getting colder.]}

[Just a temperature drop of five degrees. Enough to be chilly but not to cold. And, that is the sound of a gengar laughing ~~in full 8-bit glory~~.

It's coming from the thing in the shadows.

Also, Silver might be sniggering just a bit.]

Edited 2012-07-13 09:13 (UTC)

_{[Children, both of you. Or one of you, anyway. He's just going to give those shadows A Look.]}

I could get it down myself, you know.

_{[But. Those damn bees.

Unless... Yeah, that might work... Don't mind him, he's just going to approach the base of the tree (wary of the hive itself), kneel down and think. There's a few ways he could go about this, but he's mostly using it as a disguise to get closer to whatever it is in the shadows. Potential danger? Please.]}

[Nope. He's totally mature and not sniggering at all. Really, he's watching to make sure that his pokemon doesn't seriously try and hurt you, Kimblee.

Once Kimblee's close enough, the ghost will give a malicious grin and point to the hat. It also seems to look rather mean, if not hostile. Or it could just as it's always like that. Then it's gone --

-hope you don't mind any seeds, nuts or twigs now being pelted at you.]

_{[SIGH.

It's worse than dealing with Pride sometimes. That kid honestly set him on edge when those shadows snuck up on him like that the first time. It's a good thing he's pretty much in cahoots with that whole family though.

It's also a good thing that his time in prison mellowed him out a bit from his younger days but it's getting very tempting to just blow the whole damn tree up.

Actually...

Yeah. That sounds like a good idea right about now--or something, at least. That acorn that just bounced off his head looks good enough. He'll just be picking that up to roll it around between his fingers.]}

I'll only ask you once; Please stop that.

Edited 2012-07-14 18:29 (UTC)

Garrr. [But it doesn't want to and you're not it's trainer.

Nope. it will just put the hat on the beehive --

Until it sees it's master's dark look from behind kimblee. Opps.] Gaaaa...

[if ghosts can pout this one is doing it in spades. It'll just play with the hat instead.

Silver will take this time to start to approach, with a sigh and head lowered.] Sorry about him.

[Only not, as he's hiding the smirk in his eyes.]

[The darkness held no fear for Conan. Being a detective, he had often found reason to go chasing after criminals on worse nights than this. And so he had seen nothing wrong with slipping out of the house without informing anyone and going walking through the night here.

The sudden chill? Easily explained as an effect of the weather here. It was night, after all. The shadows? Nothing more than an optical illusions. Conan ignores it all.]

Edited 2012-07-14 14:51 (UTC)

[What about you shadow defying logic and dancing in front of you as you walk?

Because it is. And it might just have eyes.]

[Conan gives the shadow an unimpressed look as he raises his voice and addresses the general area.]

Ah. So it is this day.

Do you not have anything more useful to do?

[ hmmm. The shadow makes a cartoony thinking face before laughing. Now that you mention it -- it totally does.

Which is throwing leaves at you. There might be a few nuts or seeds in as well, but nothing to harmful. Yet.]

[Conan is highly unamused. He begins to contemplate pulling out his soccerball.]

[It won't o much if he does, as the ghost soon stops what it's doing, and takes his glasses with an eerily giggle.

It shows itself not far away. If he's seen the other trainers and pokemon around, then Conan might know that it is at least a pokemon.

And that most trainers tend not to let their pokemon roam.]

[Conan had seen the other trainers around and spent some time trying to figure out how those creatures were possible. He still hadn't resolved the question to his satisfaction. But he hadn't quite connected this creature with them yet.]

Hey!

[In an unconscious gesture he touches his face where the glasses were supposed to be and hastily looks around for witnesses. Without his glasses he felt vulnerable. Maybe it was a thin disguise, but it was the only thing that kept him from looking identical to seven-year-old Shinichi Kudo.]

[A nice, short walk in the middle of the night hasn't hurt anyone before and really, Vatheon at night is not an ugly sight. Light is escaping windows and it's not dark enough that one can't see where they are going. And hey, the temperature in the bubble is nice and comfortable so Lucas has nothing to complain about.

Until the the glow of a nearby streetlamp starts to flicker and the temperature drops.

It's like encountering Rotom all over again only this time with less TVs and more creepiness and a lot more flickering. And suddenly rustling bushes.

Maybe a walk wasn't the brightest idea after all. Better keep a hand on those Pokéballs.]

[Silver's eyes narrow when he spots the trainer, but he doesnt act, yet. Best see what he does, and how he handles the gengar. Silver will only step in if needed.

It's not the bushes that he should be worried about. It's the small twigs shooting out from them, along with that steetlight going out. Oh and that brick that's been moved into the path.

Care to play a game?]

[Oh Lucas loves games, Silver. He also enjoys making use of the supplies he has on hand. Which he is sorely tempted to make use of, considering that one of those twigs just brushed his leg and made him jump half a step back.

It's always the creepy stuff which catches him off-guard and as soon as the streetlight goes out, Lucas takes a deep, calming breath. It's fine. He's dealt with this before.

Now where did the brick he just stepped on come from?

Quirking an eyebrow, Lucas prods it with his foot before crouching down to pick it up and turn it over in his hands before looking up and away from it.] ...Hello?

[Gengar smirks, then slides into the trainers shadow, making it dance bit before leaving it alone, for now.

Rather, that hat is going over to that spiky bush and setting down on top of it. Not seconds later, the streetlight flickers back on, this time so that gengar can move back to playing shadow charades with your shadow, Lucas.

It's just harmless fun....right?]

[His face may be utterly blank but congratulations, Gengar, on the inside Lucas looks rather horrified because his shadow is moving on his own. While yes, he has encountered Ghost type Pokémon and knows of their occasional mischief, Lucas never captured one other than Rotom. So the whole shadow dance and disappearing hat trick? Those are new.

...well, he can't really be sure if this is a Pokémon or a real ghost who might be doing all this so Lucas scurries over to his hat, reaching out to pick it back up, glancing over his shoulder to keep an eye on the dancing shadow. Time to gather as many details as possible before making a plan.

...he would look rather silly if he danced like that.] You're not a real ghost, are you...?

[If shadows can look affronted, this one totally is. What do you mean not a real ghost?

He totally is one. The shadow stops dancing. But soon enough that hat's gone again, this time vanishing so that it's now in a tree.

And the gengar is laughing at this.]

[Oh oops. Shouldn't have questioned the mighty... shadow thing... ~~Gengar~~ Whatever it is. Now the hat is up in the tree.

... ...

See Lucas stand in front of the tree. See Lucas jumping up and down, trying to reach it. See Lucas looking forlorn.

But then his lips quirk into a smile as he looks over his shoulder.] Are hat tricks the only thing you can do or is there more?

[A challenge? Quite possibly.]

[ you mean like the sticks being pelted at you?

It would do more, but it's trainer is lurking nearby and gengar doesn't want to test the limits of the fun that Silver is allowing it.

Yet, anyway. ]

[Okay, ow. The sticks actually hurt but Lucas was basically asking for it.

Doesn't mean that he won't be getting out his Luxray to find the culprit because that's what he's doing. Those useful eyes which can see through walls will hopefully be able to at least locate Gengar.

Or the trainer. Because Cheren told him that all Pokémon here are owned by trainers and Lucas himself hasn't seen any wild ones.]

[They'll locate the trainer. Silver's leaning against a tree, hood up and he's grinning rather maliciously.

Doesn't seem like he'll put a stop to the ghost pokemon, either.]

[Even after the stupid Fisholympics Otoha can't rest. He instead prowls the roofs at night, jumping from rooftop to rooftop. It had been a long time since he's really got involved in a fight, and he's honestly itching for one. Vatheon's too peaceful, though. It bothers him, as it has for the entire time he's been here.]

[Still, he keeps searching, a shadow in the night.]

[On one such jump, he'll find that his shoelaces have come undone, and his should is now defying physics and dancing.

And grinning.

As he's on the rooftop, he'll be able to see Silver leaning against a tree, looking up at him. It's hard to tell but he's smirking. Or maybe he's watching something else. Either way the red-head sticks out as the most obvious cause of his, given that vatheon brings in all sorts of people.

[Otoha kneels to retie his shoes, stares down at his shadow, and then looks around, trying to find the source. He spots Silver and stares back at him, not saying anything yet - but he's not moving, either.]

[Silver jut raises his hand in a half-ared wave, the grin only getting wider.

If he moves, Otoha will find that his shoes have come undone again - the shoe laces tied together now, and the shadow has eyes.

Also, that sudden chill around him isn't going away.]

[He was just wandering around, walking his dogs and minding his own business for a change. They'd stopped pausing to take a crap now, after all, and they were on their way home when a sudden chill fills the air and the husky growls.

Well, wasn't this a somewhat familiar sensation. Riku stops in his tracks, looking this way and that. Was he playing around? Or was it something different this time? Either way, this is suspicious...]

Gaa!
[Screw haunting riku, you are about to get a sudden ghost!hug from a very happy gengar. Sup bff?

Just don't mind that the gengar may be be sticking leaves in your hair, and possibly looking from something to 'borrow' or stick in a bush or tree. ]

[asdaksdj oof-! Oh hi there, Gengar. He remembers when you were a Haunter-

Okay, seriously? He chuckles, 'patting' Gengar on his head.]

...Hello to you, too. It's been a while. [Now bff, you can stop putting leafs in his hair. He is not a grass type. :I]

Gaaa. [The Gengar's grin is somewhat less malicious than it has been all night, but that doesn't mean that Riku is getting out this unruffled.

The leaves stop but -- sorry man, that is now dirt headed your way. Snowballs with dirt 8D. ~~No, Riku is a ground type now.~~

And come on, there's got to be something on you that he can 'borrow' and hide. B|]

[There is an innocent-seeming young male adult walking the dark streets alone, seemingly not bothered by the darkness that befell the city aside from the lights that were lit here and there. It was almost like they had nothing to fear of it, even on an evening such as this. The figure didn't even stop when the unnatural chill set in. Odd, isn't it?]
[But they seem normal otherwise...]
[...]
[...Bother?]

[YYYYYYYY.

Izanami, hey Izanami. Do you like to play catch with acorns?

Because a few are being tossed your way to start with.]

[Izanami stops for a brief second, pausing for only that brief moment befroe she continues walking. Now now, child. One has to do better than that...]

[Gengar grows a little before looking around.

Beehive or bricks?

It goes for the bricks. It's not sure that it's master would like having to deal with angry bees as a result of this game. Of course, once the bricks been thrown, Gengar is zooming into steal the hat.

8D.]

[There's only one slight problem to that, Gengar… because she does indeed feel that brick hit her, though it elicits only a vaguely stronger reaction where many would would be concerned with broken bones. In fact, it doesn't even seem to have much of an impact on her… odd, that.

Almost as odd as the sudden smirk that is plainly visible on her face… wait, why are her eyes glowing?]

Do you not realize how simply rude that sort of behavior is, child…? Permitting your creatures to attack one who seems defenseless?

[Wait, she knows? Oops. 8D;]

[Being a ghost would be easier against people who were actually scared. Grit? Was not one of them. Oh sure, his lighter went out and the fire disappeared but it was nothing scary. Just the wind or something. He continued to look around, however, just in case he was going to be attacked (never could be too</> prepared), but it just seemed like a joke.]

Havin' fun?

[It would be, but gengar was trying to not scare people so much now as just be annoying and or steal things and put them in hard to reach places.

But that is a brick or three now in your path, Grit. He might be trying to remain tame, but... if you hurt yourself, not his fault.

And your hat is floating. In mid-air.]

[Bricks? That's fine. Annoying? He's use to that.

You don't touch his hat. He reached up to grab his hat and pulled it down.]

Now ya knock it off.

[That's not a human giggle that comes from where the hat is, and while Gengar let's it be reclaimed for now...

Well. Grit's shadow is now going to be dancing. And the air around him has dropped at least 5 degrees.]

[Grit was starting to get frustrated with all of this. Grumbling, he brushed off whatever was floating around him.]

'lright, ya had yer fun. Ya done yet?
