Life's no fun without a good scare
It starts some time around 3am, Tuesday morning. Thin whispers of fog start appearing all throughout Vatheon, creeping through the narrow, winding streets, up the steps, and over the park. It starts in the lower district, but as the night progresses and daylight approaches, it spreads to the other districts as well, growing thicker and thicker as it does. By the morning rolls around, the mist is thick enough that visibility has been compromised greatly, and the temperature seems to have dropped a few degrees, an odd chill filling the air.
And on the walls, there are stains.
They are infrequent at first, just a odd ruddy brown smear and a oddly bright red drop here and there, but the closer to the Plaza, the more numerous they become. There is a large smear across the steps leading up to the Plaza, as if something big was dragged up them. In one place the blood -- for it is blood, there is no deny it at this point -- pools thickly as if whoever was responsible took a casual break there, leaving the poor victim to bleed out on the steps.
On the plaza, the mist is thinner, but that is no relief. Rather, it just functions to make the gruesome scene all the more clearer.
A woman is draped upside down on the coral. Or, well, woman. It was once a woman, certainly, but now it is nothing more than something straight out of a nightmare. The flesh seems to have been torn carelessly from her limbs here and there, showing the white gleam of her bones, her nurse outfit torn as if raked apart by giant claws and her head...
well, it isn't there anymore.
The ground in front of her is smeared with blood as well. But where the previous smears had been accidental, these are deliberate, long lines curving and meeting to spell out
But no help had been forthcoming, clearly. No, it seems that this murder, this brutal murder, was nothing more than a game to whoever did it. The walls of the buildings surrounding the plaza are coated in bloody, spelling out a long string of mocking 'HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA's and directly in the center, behind the coral.
The notice board seems to have been hit too. The killer did not tear down any of the notices on the board already, but they did cover the entire board with blood-stained sheets of paper, each adorned with the same text over and over and over again.
Chop chop, sweet Charlotte
Chop chop till she's dead
Chop chop, sweet Charlotte
Chop off her hand and head.
For those brave enough to check, no, the poor girl still has both her hands. Was the killer just sloppy, or does this mean this is not Charlotte? So many unanswered questions, more born every passing moment.
Who had done this? Why? Where they going to strike again? And why had nobody heard anything?
[ooc note: Consider this your mingle log. Have fun, go forth, threadjack.
And as a further note, the fog does not seem to be clearing up as the week goes on.

After a moment, he smiles slightly, nodding.]
You're right. They're not at all.
I think that everyone here is worth getting to know.
no subject
[Then there was another pause]
Even the bad guys too.
no subject
And then he smiles slightly.]
Yes, even the "bad guys" are worth getting to know. You're completely right.
[minato you're a terrible influence.]
no subject
no subject
Nobody is completely bad, I think. There's a reason always for everything.
no subject
Although, I did get a little bit mad when um...[mumble mumble]
Say how much do you know about N?
no subject
[A gentle glance, calm and relaxed.]
You can tell me whatever you're comfortable telling.
no subject
But despite that, it kind of turned into my strength?
no subject
[...ah.]
That sounds like a difficult situation. But you made it through, didn't you?
no subject
After that happened, I figured out what I wanted to do. To become a pokemon professor!
no subject
Ah...that sounds like an excellent goal, Bianca-san.
I'll be rooting for you.
[Yeah!]
no subject
no subject
A nod, approvingly.]
That's right. And it's my pleasure. I'm glad I was able to get to know you here.
no subject
[Even if he has been here for a long time!]
no subject
It's okay, Bianca, he's just a freak.]Oh...Ah...I'm supposed I'm a little used to dealing with things like this. But don't worry, they don't happen here often.
no subject
no subject
But you are.
You just told me the brave things you've done--and I'm sure there are more.
no subject
[Hi, can you tell she's looking up to you now?]
no subject
He just offers his a bit of a smile.]
I think we all have the ability to be brave, when we need to be. I'm certain of it, actually.
no subject
Hey, Minato? Can I ask you something? Do you believe that anyone can be strong? I do mean anyone!
no subject
Absolutely. I think everyone is strong, in their own way.
You were strong, when your munna was stollen.
no subject
no subject
You gave it your all.
...That will always be enough.
no subject
[Then she shook her head]
No, I'm sure of it! Haha, I know that Hilbert and Cheren would keep scolding me if I kept thinking like this!
no subject
That's right. That's exactly right. You're plenty brave enough for whatever you may have to face.
