Lost In The Dark: Halloween-Themed RPG

IC:
David felt an urge to calm Ashe down and was about to place his hand on top of hers when he stopped and leaned back, bringing his arm back towards himself. He did not know if Ashe wanted comfort like that, especially from a guy she just met.

"Mike....sounded like a cool guy," replied David after Ashe had finished talking.

She brough both hands to her face as she rested her elbows on the table....Breathing slowly, and calming down herself.

"I feel so guilty about it...it was because we entered a room, and...and..."
Ashe sobbed softly about to cry.
"Because I wanted to...if...we...we hadnt, probably none of..t-that would've happened.."

IC:
"It was nobody's fault. How were you to know?" asked David in a calming tone.
"Besides, this house plays tricks on people, wanting them to get hurt."

She put her hands down and looked away from him... slighltly ashamed.
She glanced back, and hesistated to reach one of his hands...

"How....are we suposed to leave this place...if we can end, like Mike?.." she asked him. Brushing tears away from her face.

IC:

David did not respond, at least not straight away.
He pulled his hands away from Ashe on the table.
Then, he looked sternly at her.
"Don't be stupid," he suddenly hissed. "This is not the time to wallow in self-pity, Ashe. That's...what this house wants."
David seemed to look away when he stated this, as if he was nervous about something.

 

[.::Akatsuki::.]

She pulled her hands away bringing them near to her chest. Those words seemed to have hurt her.
"Im indeed stupid.." She glared. "Dont you think I know that?!" She shot back. "Self-pity.." she buffed.."We're like everyone else in there room, we are in danger, and nothing will change that"

David seemed to sigh sadly, ignoring the outburst and the hurt look on Ashe's face.
"I thought you already knew....It does not matter. You have to get out of here, Ashe. Take a glance around, isn't there anything strange about this party to you?"

Ashe took a moment to glance around. Most of the teenagers and younger kids were still dancing, some holding plastic cups while others held beer bottles. The band was still playing full swing, a few other younger teens were inspecting their costumes for the judging of Best Costume that would commence sooner. The fairy girl was filling punch from the punch bowl....On the face of it, everything seemed fine to Ashe. But, was it?

(Well, is everything fine or is there something odd about the party?)

 

[Gentle Voice]

OOC: I have to quit this sorry Al but I can't stay in here any more.

Ashe watched, but she could not tell. And oh she didnt want to be insulted by this guy again. She prefered to remain silence. And so, she tryed to detail everything.
Ashe stopped on the fairy girl...there was something weird about the punch, she stared and watched the girl drink it, would something happen to her?

OOC: It's okay, I don't mind.

IC:
Despite watching with all her might, after a few minutes, the fairy girl seemed to be the same.
Ashe glanced back at David with a look of defeat, confirming she could not see anything wrong.
David did not get mad, he merely sighed and leaned forward.
"I guess I couldn't blame you not to see it, but I'll tell you anyway," he stated and glanced around before continuing.
"There's no food around here," he said in a hushed tone. "Sure, they have candy bags, but there are no nibbles to be presented at the serving table. Don't you find that...odd?"

She raised an eyebrow slightly, getting the point.
"Do you know who planned this party?.." She suddenly asked..."Or...it came out of nowhere?...who send the invitation?.." She kept the hushed tone as well.

"To tell the truth, I don't really know," stated David, looking puzzled. "All I remember was that it was dark, then I found myself in here."
Ashe was about to ask another question when she saw something that made her shocked.
She thought she saw across the room a figure dressed in a safari outfit, the one like Mike had worn!
But, in a fleeting instant, the figure was gone after a couple danced by, having obscured Ashe's view for a second. The figure in the Safari outfit was no longer in the spot Ashe had just seen!

Ashe's mouth dropt open..."Hold on!.." she said, standing up and running in that direction in one montion...

she ran making her way through the people, a few almost fell, dropped their punch, but Ashe did not care...

She spotted him again, and smiled...could it be posibly him?

David seemed more puzzled, but just stayed where he was, sipping some more punch as Ashe ran off.

Ashe felt a sense of joy....as the boy turned to face her.
It was Mike, but he seemed somewhat confused.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" asked Mike to Ashe.

 

[.::Akatsuki::.]

Ashe grinned and tears filled her eyes, she could not help it but to hug him suddenly...
"Oh my god!!.." she hugged him tight..."I cant believe you're ok!!.." She pulled away, glancing down and trying not to cry....
"I...Im sorry.." She spoke not looking at him still...."Wha-What happened?." She raised her face again when the tears were less noticiable.

"What are you talking about? Do I know you?" asked Mike, he seemed awkward after Ashe hugged him, almost embarrassed.

"What are you talking about? Do I know you?" asked Mike, he seemed awkward after Ashe hugged him, almost embarrassed.

Ashe freezed, and stared at him for a few secs, figuring everything out.
"Oh....I think...I thought you were someone else sorry.." She turned and headed back, obviously it was Mike.... but, if he had forgotten everything, the only thing she was glad of was that he was ok.

'How...did he...get outta there? that thing.... i dont understand..' She mumbled as she reached the table again where david was sitting.

Mike shook his head at Ashe as if she was a weirdo and turned away, forgetting her already.

David had not moved from the table, in fact he had his eyes closed as Ashe came back.
"So, did you find your "friend"?" asked David in an even tone, opening his eyes and looking at Ashe.

"I dont understand..." She sat down. "why....he doesnt..." She mumbled staring at the table....
"He didnt know who i was...." She looked at David..."why wouldnt he?....does that thing erase people's memories about this place before they get here?..."
Ashe shook her head slightly, she had made it to the party "safe" without forgetting anything.

occ: what time is it over there?

OOC: 7:07 PM...

IC:
David did not say anything, he placed hios plastic cup down and crossed his arms, shaking his head.
"No, I'm afraid not. This house tricks people like that, makes them try to lose their minds...or their heads. This party is just a trap within a trap...you might find out soon enough."
What David said made no sense...a TRAP within a trap...?
Suddenly, a person in a panda bear costume came up to David.
"Hey, you are missing all the fun. Let's dance!" she said, taking off her panda head.
David shook his head and the girl looked sad.
"Okay, but you dunno what you are missing," stated the girl and placed the panda head back on and disappeared in the crowd of dancers.
David glanced back at Ashe.
"NOTHING...is what it seems," he stated gravely.

occ: over here....almost 4am mom's gonna kill me

ic:
Ashe swallowed hard...She stared at everyone around them dancing, drinking and jumping all around... she began to feel scared and helpless again.
She wondered what would have happened if things had been diferent, probably she wouldnt feel as lonely and lost without Mike... David, seemed to make no diference.
