Private The Great Spooking of 2020

Mint · Jan 16, 2020

With his lessons finished earlier than usual today, Sushi decided to take a detour on his way home. Rather than heading straight to his dorm room, he chose to explore other parts of the dorms and see what the building really looked like inside. He found himself travelling through the building floor by floor, finding a few nice plants, a couple new people he'd never met before, and even a coin on the ground which he tucked carefully into his raincoat.

In Sushi terms, this was a relatively average exploration. For now at least.

Pit pat. Plod plod.
Hikaru grinned to himself. They were here - his next victim. Hearing the foosteps get closer and closer, Hikaru turned off the lights and lit the hallway with a series of small blue flames that leered at the passersby. A light rain had begun falling against the windowsills - perfect weather for the mood he was going for tonight.

"Who dares enter this place...?" Hikaru muttered in a high and eerie voice.
Showtime had begun.

Being a bit of an unusual fellow, Sushi misread just about everything that happened.

First the lights were turned off, but with the way his vision worked, this mostly just changed the colour and shading of things. Then the fire appeared, certainly an odd event, but again not something that he found particularly frightening. Finally there was the rain, which Sushi was actually pretty content about. It was his favourite weather, and with his outfit, he was almost always prepped for the rain.

Once the mood was set, even though it was greatly misinterpreted, Sushi heard the voice, which caused him to freeze. He didn’t totally understand what was said. Before long, the radio like voice of his would come out of his helmet. “W-what?”

Hope the Bard · Jan 18, 2020

Wait.
Was that voice... Sushi? Oh crap. Now he felt bad. Tricking such an innocent child... but to back out now would be worse. How would he explain himself? How would he make Sushi understand? To be honest, he wasn't even sure if the language charm was doing its job properly. Was the old Japanese being conveyed across properly? Arrrgh... whatever! He had to continue. For honor!

Oh, and he had to simplify his language, or else Sushi wouldn't be able to understand.
"I am a very bad person! You have come near to me, good person..." He was trying really hard not to laugh. He felt like the monster of the week on Power Rangers - a caricature of evil rather than a true villain.

"I am going to do something bad to you, because I am a bad person! Be scared!" He crooned, shifting the flames to an evil red as they gathered around Sushi. They circled, whirling, faster and faster as if about to consume him!

A very bad person? Sushi looked around nervously, unable to identify where the noise was coming from. He didn't totally understand bad people, all he knew was that they were something like sharks. And sharks were dangerous.

He continued turning his body around, trying to identify the voice through the front of his helmet. He also assumed a bit of a defensive position.

When he was told to be scared, he listened. A blue glow would flash twice from inside his helmet, and he'd vanish entirely. Just like he would do with a shark back in the ocean, he scurried quietly to the wall of the hall and out of the way of the fire. Then he'd just have to wait there until this bad person hopefully went away.

Okay, now seemed like a good time to stop the prank. He didn't want to traumatise the little guy, he just wanted his kicks. He turned on the lights, walked round the corner, and...
...nothing?

"Hey, Sushi?" He said in his normal voice. "Are you... out here?" What should he do? Did he chase the guy away? Should he go after him?
He was just about to start walking down the hallway when he found himself tripping on something.

"—!" He gasped before faceplanting the floor. "Ow...ow...ow..." Poetic justice, he supposed as he rubbed his sore nose. "Ouch...what was that?"

Mint · Jan 21, 2020

Was that Hikaru’s voice? Sushi found himself turning and looking for the guy through the window on the front of his helmet. But right when he found him, Hikaru tripped on him and fell.

There was something out there a lot worse than falling though. And he couldn’t just leave Hikaru exposed like that.

“Hikaru? It is not safe.” In a hurry, the scuba boy would appear, and attempt to latch on to Hikaru. If he managed to be successful, he would disappear once again with a flash from inside his helmet, but this time he’d take Hikaru with him.

Hope the Bard · Jan 21, 2020

"Wha--" Hikaru felt small hands grabbing onto him as a small body collided with his, flattening him to the ground once more. A child...? This rubbery, plasticky feeling... oh, was it Sushi? That guy was always wearing a raincoat, so...

His vision shifted suddenly. Everything was going... blue? What? "Hey, Sushi, did you do something to my eyes? I can't really..." He rubbed them. "I can't see properly..." The concern in his voice grew.

Mint · Jan 21, 2020

Sushi and Hikaru would both be able to see each other despite being invisible to the naked eye. Although everything would remain coloured in blues for Each of them for the time being.

Unfortunately, Hikaru experiencing the blue vision wasn’t high up on Sushi’s priorities at the moment. There was a much more concerning bad person on the loose who was out to get them.

Sushi brought a finger up to the front of his mask, a shushing pose that he’d seen his dorm parent do from time to time. He then spoke very quietly. “There is a bad person.”

Hope the Bard · Jan 22, 2020

Hikaru shifted his weight and twisted around to see a blue version of Sushi, as expected, latched onto him like a remora to its host. While the feeling of being clung to by a child wasn't exactly the worst of new sensations to experience, Hikaru didn't particularly enjoy the visual side effects.

He blinked as Sushi told him about the 'bad person' before chuckling to himself a little. Right... The poor guy probably hadn't realised that the bad person was in fact, Hikaru. Ignoring the pang of guilt, he decided to hug Sushi and pat his helmet gently.

"It's alright... the bad person is gone. I made sure the bad person went away!" He said soothingly.
Oh dear... Well, Hikaru wasn't exactly lying. The bad person he'd created was indeed gone, seeing as it was naught but a voice and fire illusions anyway.
