WHO: Luisa and you
WHERE: Network/Luisa's room
WHEN: November 14
WHAT: Luisa received an...interesting visitor the previous night
WARNINGS: Skeletons, I guess? Will add more warnings if they come up

[ It's a bit early in the morning when Luisa appears on the network, and she's looking a bit...disturbed. ]

So, uh...I had a pretty weird dream last night? I was sleeping here in my room when this skeleton showed up by my bed and was saying something about a wish. I was kind of freaking out so I wasn't exactly paying attention, but it kept asking.

And I...don't really remember what I ended up asking for [ She actually does, but for some reason she didn't want to reveal that on the network. ] but I guess I did end up asking for something, because then it said something about sealing a contract, and it finally disappeared.

It was pretty creepy, but I didn't think much of it because it's just a dream, right? Except then I found this [ And she turns the camera to focus on the stone night stand by her bed, where there's a small package resting there, wrapped in dark purple paper and tied with a silver ribbon in a bow. ] that was definitely not there last night.

And I've had enough with contracts that I'm a little scared to open it.




((OOC: Luisa got a visit from the Birthday Skeleton! ......but she'll have no idea what that is. ))

Oh wow... ┌(。Д。)┐

A wish granting skeleton is new.

un: pequeña_montaña

[neverbreaks]

Yeah, it was a bit of a shock that late at night.

I'm a little worried about whatever this "contract" is. I don't think I agreed to anything, but I may have been too rattled to really remember.

UN: hikari-vi

[whiteshroud]

Mm, the contract mention is concerning...

You weren't in any danger at anytime, were you? It sounds like you were just resting in your room.

[neverbreaks]

No, not at that time. I really was just sleeping when it showed up suddenly.

[ The fact that it had also gotten passed Casita is also concerning. ]

voice: UN: No

[scotch_egg]

A what showed up where?

[he shouldn't be surprised. Given what he'd just managed to survive, he shouldn't be. And yet...]

Voice | un: pequeña_montaña

[neverbreaks]

Yeah! Just a whole skeleton! By my bed! And it was talking to me!

[scotch_egg]

And what...did it say exactly? [he's not going to wonder about the mechanics of how a skeleton can talk in the first bloody place]

[neverbreaks]

[ She's going to wonder about it for a bit longer. ]

Uh...hang on. [ She's trying to think, because she hadn't really been paying too much attention to what it had said. ] It was asking for a wish...something that I wanted.

A skeleton visited you in a dream and asked you about a wish? And a gift appears suddenly on the city? I don’t know what to make of it right now either.

I don’t think that skeleton has visited me just yet, but if this boney fellow keeps popping in everyone’s dreams often, that is going to be a weird tradition for everyone on their birthdays.

(Granted, her birthday did passed in Kaisou while she was gone the first time, so she did escaped the birthday skeleton’s wish granting spree. For now.)

[neverbreaks]

Yeah, pretty much.

[ Luisa blinks, because she hadn't actually considered that. ] Wait, you really think it might have to do with my birthday?

[senorita_perfecta]

It could be the case. Today happens to be your birthday, so I must have thought that it is possible that the skeleton might have visited you in dreams today.

[neverbreaks]

I guess. But...I dunno, doesn't a skeleton visiting on someone's birthday feel like a bad omen?

[droptheious]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

[He has some concerns. ]

I don't think I remember hearing anything about a wish-granting...skeleton before. I -um. Nothing else has happened, right? This isn't like... [he holds his hand up, opening and closing the palm] a monkey's paw kinda situation, right?

[neverbreaks]

I'm...not really sure. I don't think it asked me for anything, besides a wish, but I don't really remember. [ She tilts the camera towards the present again. ] So I haven't opened it yet, just because I'm a little worried that something else might happen if I do.

[droptheious]

[He hums nervously.]

I- I mean the gift looks innocuous, but that doesn't really mean anything here. Maybe see if someone here has a skill in uh...curses, just to check it over? Y'know... in case?

[couldntsaveone]

A skeleton??

Did he say his name is Brook???

[neverbreaks]

[ Not really the reaction she'd expected, honestly. ]

I don't think it did? It didn't really say much except the thing about a wish and a contract.

[couldntsaveone]

Awww then its probably not my friend.

Did he at least sing awesome songs for you???

un; trashson | voice

[alwaysbeentrash]

Oh. That.

I thought that was a fever dream, honestly.

[Wait, someone else has experience with this?]

What did you get?

[neverbreaks]

[ Hold on a second. ]

Have you seen this skeleton before?

I'm...not sure, to be honest. I've been a little scared to open the thing.

[alwaysbeentrash]

[Oops. Right. About that...]

Either it was this one or one very similar that appeared in my room the night of my birthday. I didn't take it seriously, since I was a little tired and annoyed from fighting the Egyptian snake god thing, so I made a ridiculous wish. It said something similar, the contract is sealed, and then I woke up to--

[There's silence for a moment, then a put out sigh.]

To a rather adorable present. I can show you, if it'll make you feel any better.

[once_reborn]

Want some help with the opening part? I'm pretty good at yanking people out of the way of explosions in the nick of time.

Just don't ask me how I know that, because it's a bunch of long stories strung together.

Also: well that's in the top ten creepiest things I can imagine waking up to. Are you ok? Do you have a feeling about what you might have asked for? Trust me, even an inkling might be important.

Voice 1/2

[neverbreaks]

[ Now Luisa can't help being a bit curious, because what, but since Mal says not to ask she won't...for now. ]

Yeah, uh...okay. I mean, if it's dangerous, I wouldn't want you getting hurt either, but...maybe some help wouldn't be so bad.

[ Just in case. ]

Yeah, it was pretty creepy. I think it's worse thinking about it now than it was at the time, because now I know that it had actually happened. But other than that, I think I'm okay.

[ She does hesitate a bit, trying to think of what she might have asked for. ]

Private Text 2/2

[neverbreaks]

[ When she does remember, though, she debates about it for a moment, before changing the conversation to a private text instead. She's not sure why, but she doesn't feel comfortable talking about it when others might be able to hear or see it. Even if it might be relevant to certain people. ]

I asked for my family. My whole family, even the people who are back home.

Private

[once_reborn]

[Well, that switch is a big deal, and it means she's suddenly paying very close attention. And she can see, from the beginning, why this would be an issue for her.]

The most natural thing for you to ask for - I can see why any box turning up would be a bit worrisome.
