[ October is the month of Halloween. All that spookiness, the fright, the gore waiting just around the corner. Literally, in this case. There's a scream from one of the main areas, and quite the sudden commotion. Looking up, one would notice the roots and limbs climbing around the doorframe, a dead tree having grown right out of the wall. An intricate spider web is woven through the branches, a large black widow hanging casually near the middle with her prey. But that's only the trigger -- the show is what happens when someone passes beneath it. ]

{ ooc: So basically what happens is that, should your character walk under the doorway, they'll suddenly have any number of physical injuries they've acquired in the Dressing Room. One, two, all of them? Up to you! No matter how severe, it won't affect the character beyond touch. For example, they'd be able to feel a cut or gash with their hands, but it won't hurt, and it won't be life-threatening. Kind of like they're undead... The magic will wear off if they walk under the branches again. :D

[This guy? Just ignore him. He's covered in cuts and wounds and slices and there goes his head falling off.]

[ Riku's here. There's no other word to describe her except 'stunned'. She's staring down at her hands, one of which has two large, messy bites, muscles and flesh ripped and torn, dripping blood. The back of her shirt is soaked with blood, and the lower parts of her pants are speckled with it. ...and she hasn't noticed it yet, but part of her head is actually missing near the right side, a large chunk of skull blasted away, close enough to her face that one of her eyes is completely red. You can even see brain-matter.]

[Avani's just got a ton of bruises from the fight she was in during the spell back in May, but what really has her freaked out is the bleeding vampire bite on the left side of her neck. She's holding a hand to it while staring at Riku with a clear 'holy shit' expression on her face.]

Um..sorry...

[She looks away not wanting to be any more rude than she already was.]

[Riku doesn't immediately look at her, then her eyebrows go up and she lifts her head to stare.]

What?

[When Sora wanders in, he's bombarded with bruises and cuts, and suddenly, his shirt's turning red. He notices that when he looks down, and just tears it right off.]

[He's got a nice-sized gash on his stomach and on his back, a black eye, and every bit of visible skin has something on it. His calves have a couple cuts, visible and bleeding, but not too deep. He's staring down at his stomach now, running his fingers along the bleeding gash.]

[Alarmed? Kind of. Confused? Very.]

No no no no no no no....

[Sora can hear a somewhat familiar voice whimpering up the hall, and there is a blue-haired young woman dressed in pink and black crumpled on the floor staring at the pools of blood that are coming from what looks like millions of little cuts on her arms.]

[Once he gets past the shock of the situation, he can finally notice Desiree further down the hallway. The voice is what catches him, the tone of it setting off some sort of alarm in his head. When he sees her, he's rushing over on his A-Ts, sliding right onto the ground in front of her, down on his knees.]

Desiree?!

Sorry I was staring and i didn't mean to be rude there...

[She shrugs and looks around for something to bandage her neck up with, going back under the tree and blinking when her injuries disappear.]

That's weird....

[When she looks up at Sora, he can see the blank look in her eyes; seems all this blood's made her flash back to when she was tortured.]

Leave me alone....

What is?

[Sorry, Avani, she's busy freaking out over the massive wound on her arm, and is rubbing at it frantically.]

[He reaches out and take hold of her shoulders, seeing that blank look. It won't fly with him.]

Desiree. Desiree, it's me, Sora.

[Recognition starts to dawn, a little bit at a time. She sits up and blinks.]

Sora...?

I came back under it this way and all my bruises and stuff are gone.

Really.

[She's kind of afraid to move, in case her arm falls off, or her legs give out. She's dripping blood from various places now, forming a nice little puddle at her feet.]

[He was just strolling along until he spotted you there and stopped dead in his tracks. She might hear that gasp coming from him. And with the way he paled, he's looking like he might even be sick.]

[Riku does hear that, and looks up after a moment's hesitation, wide-eyed.]

Am... Am I dead?

Yeah... Yeah, it's me.

[His grip is firm, but not harsh, and starting to relent.]

[He takes a slow step forward, then forces himself the rest of the way, eyes fixed on that missing part of her head. He reaches up cautiously.]

I-I don't think so....

[What is he reaching for? She's just staring at him, blinking some of the blood out of her eye.]

I can't feel anything.

Nothing?

[He's seeing if this is an illusion or if his hand really can go through where that hole is or not.]

I mean it-- it doesn't hurt.

[Have fun touching her wet, soft brain, Roxas.]

[ASDFGHJK yanks his hand back quickly, looking disgusted.]

How is that even--

[Glances at his hand before wiping it off on his pants.]

This is some fucked up magic.

[Sorry, she's busy staring at his hand, then reaching up to touch her head. Do you see that horrified look.]

What happened to me?

[She blinks a few more times, brown eyes welling up with tears, and not even two seconds later, screw all the blood, on both of them, Sora, you've got someone clinging to you, just crying her eyes out.]

Where did Red shoot you when you were a werewolf?

[He's noticing the other wounds now.]
