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.

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...]

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.)

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.

[neverbreaks]

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

[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?

[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.

[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?

[senorita_perfecta]

That’s pretty for me to tell at the moment. But yikes, we could all agree that it is a creepy way to spend one’s birthday in the early morning.

[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?

[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]

Yeah, it was definitely a shock seeing it last night. I think the only reason I wasn't freaking out more was because I thought I was dreaming.

[ As it was, she'd freaked out plenty while trying to keep quiet, not wanting to wake up everyone else. ]

[neverbreaks]

[ She nods. ] Yeah, that's...probably a good idea. I think there might be people who can sense magic.

[ Maybe she could check at the center. ]

[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. ]

[senorita_perfecta]

That is understandably true, surprises can be a very strange thing to have. It’s not often that gifts suddenly appear all the sudden, but at least you didn’t panic at its presence that much.

[whiteshroud]

I see...

And nothing else unusual happened to you before you went to sleep?

[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]

un; pirateking

[couldntsaveone]

A skeleton??

Did he say his name is Brook???

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?

un; maldurrish | voice

[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.

[droptheious]

Right! Right. It's probably best to be uh...safe.

[He trusts almost nothing this place gives them.]

If they can't sense anything, then maybe it's okay and this is just some weird new...crazy we have to deal with.

[neverbreaks]

Yeah. And I guess if I was gonna be getting a skeleton visiting me, this wasn't the worst reason for it.

[ Though she's not really in a hurry to see it again. ]

[neverbreaks]

Nothing that really comes to mind. The only thing that happened before was Mamá and me talking about leaving the restaurant early today so we could have dinner at home tonight.
