It's All Your State Of Mind [Open]

Who: Wednesday Addams and You.
What: Ship exploration, mystery investigation, the usual kind of welcome
When: Early February
Where: All over the ship, especially Sand Dollars and the Morgue
Warnings: Wednesday is likely to discuss macabre topics, as well as stare incessantly, pleased if it makes someone uncomfortable. She may also be subject to disturbing visions in threads with players who opt-in. Her opt-in/opt-out post is right here.



I. What Kind of Hellscape Is This?

[A new passenger, a teenager, is walking around the ship with a grim look on her face. She had on black ankle boots, black tights, a black and grey skirt that was almost down to her ankles, a black and grey blazer that had a school crest on it reading ‘Nevermore’ on top of a black vest, tie and a white collared button down. Her long black hair is styled in a pair of braids, resting on her chest as opposed to trailing behind her.

The deck isn’t so bad but most of deck four with its bright lights and neon colours – as if those were ever acceptable – were just making her visibly cringe.

In all likelihood she will turn to the nearest stranger and ask the all important question.]


What kind of ransom do I have to pay to get out of here?

[Her parents would probably do it. Or they’d handle it their own way.]

II. Sand Dollars

[If there’s one thing every modern teenager needs, it’s a mountain of caffeine and while she’s getting the sense that there’s no one around to do the serving, it’s an espresso machine. It’s not exactly rocket science.

Besides, she just read an instruction manual not that long ago. Surely it can’t be that hard to use, after all, Tyler could do it.

She puts the espresso in the machine and turns it on, putting the cup beneath the spout. When it’s finished, she’ll dump the grounds and repeat the process, into the same cup.

How many shots does she need?

However many it takes.]


III. The Disturbing

[Wednesday, after first exploring the ship, is absolutely sure of it. She was pretty sure she’d caught a glimpse of a spirit in the corner of her eye although focusing it on the spot she saw it yielded a whole lot of nothing.

Even walking right up to where they’d been didn’t seem to yield any results.

Some might’ve chalked it up to seeing things, but Wednesday wasn’t ready to do that yet, so she was walking around, mildly distracted trying to see them, grasping her necklace in her hand. A little help from the obsidian wouldn’t hurt if they were shy.]


Come out and speak to me!

[She calls out in a clear voice, as that’s what one does when they attempt to contact the spirit world.

Wednesday is focused on her task and not much else around her, it was a perfect time to ask what she was doing, to make physical contact with her and she may be more susceptible to visions since her guard was completely down at the moment.

The ghosts of course were probably, possibly, not going to respond and if they didn’t she would just have to go to step two and plan a séance.]


IV. Her Happy Place?

[With all the fun activities on the higher levels, surely no one would hang out on the lower levels, but while the infirmary with its medieval surgical implements is pretty interesting, the most interesting place in fact is the morgue.

Wednesday’s eyes light up a little bit and she’s just going to help herself to opening each of the fridges to see what’s inside.

If she’s disappointed, she might decide to take a nap down there. Comfy.]


V. Wildcard

[I’m open to prompts in any location, and pretty much for any reason. Wednesday is 16, and so she cannot partake in alcohol, although that’s also really not her thing. She might also be quite comfortable in the library.]

I mean fair. [Which is Klaus' way of not bringing up being able to just summon ghosts. But it works better when he's not drinking apparently. But then their dad was reaaaal stubborn. Also Klaus was real drunk. So it's kind of a toss up on why that didn't work out.]

Walking around naked is certainly a choice. A good one? Ehhh. But a choice.

Are you sure? I won't try and force you to change your mind, but the couch doesn't
exactly look comfortable to me.

[ but if it's what wednesday wants, welp. ]

Anyways, I feel like I should ask... what was your world called? It may be useful
for us to discuss preferences, or similarities for this 'roommate' situation to
go smoothly.

"Now, that's dedication to tech-free. But, uh... ball?" Is that something specific to her world? It must be, right?

"Okay, I like it. I know this is spoilers, but what's the most freaky way someone died in your novels yet? How creative are we talking here?"

[Klaus shrugs] Hey. I'm not here to judge. But it seemed unlikely.

[ somehow, wednesday's attitude reminds her a bit of how people usually described tear herself:
emotionless, cold, blunt. it was interesting to see those same traits mirrored back at her.

she thinks she understands luke a little better, now.
]

I see. A lot of people on board seem to be from there. Your years are shorter than ours are,
back on Auldrant... along with your most of your animals being different.
Are you able to use 'magic' at all?

[ it seems some can, and some can't. just like auldrant. ]

[Klaus laughs a little] There's some dresses around here somewhere. But hey? Sweatpants are better than nothing, right?

Frankenstein is great. Mary Shelley was a true pioneer. I tried to take inspiration back in October, and it was all Ava you can't be a necromancer.

You're a writer?

Ugh. Because I don't have the ability. All the necromancers are such elitists about it too. So what if I fed a corpse to some stupid ghost. Sounded reasonable at the time.

Again...you could go naked, but...

[They gesture vaguely] You don't do that and ... did you say fencing? Does that mean you know knives?

Maybe you should speak with Helena. She's a writer too.

Wasn't sure what the ghost actually wanted, honestly. Not all that chatty. Except apparently to... play? So...

"God, now you sound like my master." Ancient vampires act like cranky boomers when someone hands them new technology.

"Crystal? So, like, you know magic?" Or, is she psychic? Shit, that's what he should have asked.

"Whoa, that is brutal." He does cringe a little at the eye thing. Coincidentally, that's how vampires in his world can be killed. "Was the ritual supposed to be summoning a dark god or something like that? Does the killer get caught?"

[ +1 respect for being guarded, wednesday ]

... On my world we call them fonic artes. [ but how do you even explain them -- ]

It's the ability to manipulate fonons, or energy, to do various things regular humans
can't. Like attack, heal, or even predict the future.

[ it was her ancestor's ability, at any rate. ]
