[Open] Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy?
Who: EVERYONE
What: A ghostly presence is in the air, and people are disappearing...
Where: All over the mansion grounds
When: Halloween, all day
Warnings: S for SPOOPY
Those who were accustomed to trick or treating on Halloween might not have been having the best of times, but just because everyone was in a mansion together didn't mean they couldn't have fun. Some of the more fun loving inhabitants were throwing parties! Hey, Peach took any excuse to throw a party. Others might have opted for a quiet night in. But one thing was certain. Things were very quiet around the mansion.
Maybe a little too quiet...
In fact, didn't it seem like the hotel had a few less people around than usual? That's odd. Why could that be... But perhaps you noticed certain odd things happening. Eyes following you wherever you went... Paintings that seemed to move as you walked by... A cool breeze flowing through the air, even though all the doors and windows are closed... There's something here. Something... paranormal.
[[In this event, spooky ghosts are roaming the mansion, trapping people in paintings! Will your character be a victim? A rescuer? Will you attempt to befriend the ghosts? Find out what's going on? Or just go look for a party? Start a thread and find out!]]

Hey Blaaaaze...
[Sonic flapped into the doorway, spreading his cape and grinning with little makeshift fangs. The presentation of his costume wasn't received nearly as expected, however. Mostly because there was no one in their room to actually see it, like he thought there would be.]
Bluuuuh, I vant to-- uh, huh? Blaze? Where'd you go?
[OTA and everywhere]
[Sonic is indeed everywhere, looking for his girlfriend, popping boos like mischievous balloons and trying to piece this together... If there's a party, he'll crash it, to grab some candy and ask around.]
[2spoopy4you]
The curtains rustled a bit from an unseen breeze, and a soft giggle filled the air. It sounded like it was coming from all around the room, from no particular spot.]
no subject
...Heh, I didn't think you were into hide-and-seek! At least not, you know, THIS kind--
[And then he's cut short by the rustle and the ethereal laugh, and his ears fold back.]
Thaaaat doesn't sound like Blaze. Hello? Hey, what's going on here?
no subject
Until an invisible hand grabbed the cape and flipped it over Sonic's head.]
no subject
[Is what he says, pawing at the cape until he gets it away from his face. He whips around to see who that was. No one there.]
A ghost..?
[Yup, sure seems like it. Thankfully his world is lousy with the things, so disbelief isn't really a hurtle. He stands up straighter, now that he thinks there's someone to address.]
Hey, uh... you wouldn't happen to have seen a purple cat around here, would you? Wearing this stuff? Or at least she WAS wearing it...
no subject
And then suddenly, the ghost materialized.
Right in front of Sonic.
Smooching him.]
[The Labs, OTA if you want to find him]
[Normally that wouldn't bother Gordon, especially since it had been the power grid they had been working on downstairs for the past few months. No, it was the combination of the sputtering filiments over his head, the chill breeze that fluttered papers on the desk, and the utter quiet that the lab had seemed to be plunged into. Equipment had stopped humming, the seismograph had jerked to a papery halt, and most notably... there were no other voices.]
Ronnae? Shantae? Hello?
[Maybe they had just gone for coffee. Maybe they were examining something and distracted to silence. Maybe. Probably. All the same, something weird and primal that had protected him years ago now had its familiar talonlike grip on the back of his neck, and he quietly gets to his feet and scans the feebly-lit labs.]
[His crowbar lay propped up against the generator. It slides off the ground and into his grip with a quiet, but poignant ring of steel on concrete.]
[And I'll form the head]
Oh, Dr. Freeman! You haven't seen Lucca around here, by any chance, have you...? I haven't seen her all day!
no subject
Lucca? Sorry, Rock. I haven't. Have you seen Ronnae or Shantae at all out there?
[He gestures out through the door with his crowbar.]
no subject
[He tapped his chin in thought at the question.]
Well, I think I saw Shantae earlier today. She was in this really pretty-- N-not important. She was on her way somewhere in a big hurry, but after she turned a corner she was just gone. I thought she just ran after she was out of eyesight.
no subject
[Really pretty WHAT though? Maybe she decided to wear that princess bikini--NO BAD GORDON, FOCUS. SOMETHING'S OFF ABOUT ALL THIS.]
She could have just turned into a monkey and took off, if she was in a hurry, but you would have at least heard her running. If not, you know, jingling with the dance...
[--DAMMIT GORDON, FOCUS, I SAID.]
Come on. I think if we head towards the party, maybe we can find someone. This lab doesn't seem all that welcoming right now, anyway.
[And he's keeping hold of the crowbar.]
no subject
That sounds like a great idea. Were you just about to go too? What are you dressed as?
no subject
[He glances at the robe and sultan's hat in the corner. The ones that he'd avoided wearing until now, mostly because of the dusty labwork and its incompatibility with billowing sleeves.]
Nothing, yet. I was finishing up some things in the lab... I was just about to change, when this happened.
[...]
Hold on.
[Somewhere around eight or ten seconds later, Sultan Freeman has concealed his pistol and crowbar under his robe, and walks out of the lab with Rock. Down the corridor, he regards his robot companion.]
Were you two headed for the party together?
