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.]

Oh. Cool.

[He doesn't know that much about that stuff, but...] My brother wrote a book once. It was an expose all about our family. It included a lot of awkward details, but it was pretty cool for what it was.

If they ever show up, I bet people would read them!

Ha. I think you'll have a pretty good group here. There's like so many people that would be into that sort of story.

Maybe? I haven't been to any, but without the ghost powers, I guess it wouldn't matter. [But anything's possible on this weird boat filled with ghosts and people with ghost powers.

He studies her gaze for a moment.]
It's a lot of looking. We'll...find...something.

I mean, I don't have mine. But if I did and they worked, I wouldn't really need a seance. I am the seance, I guess. [There's a shrug. They don't know that The Seance is their name in the comic book.]

Mmm...oh! Black! There is black. It's not...the same. [They stop, picking something out.] But with enough skill, someone could take these and make it a style you like.

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.

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

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

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?

Oh cool!

I haven't done that much with my abilities in a while. Mostly just hope for the best.

Oh, so knife club or like the fighting club are not of interest? Cause I've heard they exist.

[Klaus hasn't been because he's not really sure he's the knife club sort of person. But who knows?]

Yeah. I'm pretty sure anyway. I'll check with Nobunaga.
