now the witch is back
Who: Chase Collins & Open
What: Ding dong the witch is-- wait, he's alive??
When: Any time in November
Where: Photos At Sea, ghostie memorial, Tommy Bahama, and pretty much anywhere
Warnings: References to violence, death, possession.
I. i put a spell on you and now you're mine
The weirdest thing about waking up is the fact that he's waking up at all. Isn't he supposed to be dead again? He's like 99% sure he died again.
Or. Well. He's like 99% sure Jeff died. All he knows is, one minute he was on top of the world, gloating, ready to slay a demigod with his own boyfriend's body, and the next, something struck him and:
Everything turned to Nothing. Again.
Nobody comes back from that. Not like this, anyway. You don't just wake up from nonexistence, and yet here he is, laying in bed, breathing, awake and alive like it's just a normal day on the cruise ship from hell.
He can even feel the Power thrumming under his skin, inky black in his veins, burning to be used, and it feels... so good. He's back, and he's whole, and he doesn't even have to sing freaking show tunes and pop hits to cast a spell?
Chase lets out a laugh to, like, no one, 'cause he doesn't have a roommate. He's alive, and he's got his own room! That's called winning.
He spends his first few days back aboard the Serena Eterna just wandering around (in his body, his actual freaking body) and... more or less laying low. He's not hiding from anyone, but he's not going out of his way to pick fights, either. Nope, Chase Collins is just a regular new arrival, a totally normal teenage boy who's just innocently exploring his new surroundings!
Come find him at the Infinite Tommy Bahama, where he's stocking up on new clothes, mostly going for anything black, which is pretty much hard mode for Tommy Bahama, so he eventually gives up and just leans into the kitschy crap. Hawaiian shirts with candy canes and toucans and Santa in a speedboat? Yeah, sure, why not. 'Tis the season.
At Playback, you can find Chase playing various arcade games, using magic to cheat at the claw machine (as long as he thinks no one's watching), and challenging folks to friendly games of foosball, pool, air hockey, whatever
Or go ahead and encounter him at Scoops, where he's contemplating the flavors on display. If you approach, he'll look at you and say, totally straight faced, "You know, I'm really torn between the durian and the cicada..."
Or just run into him at any of the other locations on the ship. He's new! Say hi!
II. Your wretched little lives have all been cursed
It takes Chase a while to find it, since he doesn't want to ask anyone, but eventually, he tracks down the memorial to the dead and lost. He only shows up when there's nobody else around-- or, at least, when he thinks there's nobody else around-- and doesn't stick around for long, but if you're lucky, you may be able to run into him there.
He looks over the names, mostly sees a bunch of losers from this voyage that he doesn't know and doesn't care about, but... there's a few he recognizes, and he doesn't really know how to feel about it.
Are these people really so sentimental that they'd honor the vengeful ghosts who possessed and killed them? Why? It's so stupid.
What's even more stupid is that it does actually tug on his heart, just a little, when he sees Kenzi's name... And his own. Looks like Bash really meant what he said.
He can't believe he got killed by that sap. And he can't believe the sap is actually making him experience an emotion. Gross.
But Chase's face is unusually somber when he stares at his friend's name. Eventually, he adds an epitaph, which others may find even if they don't catch him in the act:
KENZI MALIKOV
too cute to die
your tits were out of this world
(Look, he may be gay, but he's not blind.)
On other nights, after Chase visits, one may notice a new name added, each time.
MRS LOVETT
she died as she lived:
encountering a corpse, and eating it
BILLY HARGROVE
you were so cute when you were angry
(which was all the time)
TOKI WARTOOTH
wowee!
YAKKO
sing us a song pianoman dog thing
JASON VOORHEES
too pure for this world ❤️
Feel free to set up a stakeout to see who's adding the names, or I dunno, come upon him by happenstance.
III. 'cause of all the witches working, i'm the worst
Chase is at Photos At Sea, looking over October's pictures with a hand over his mouth. Oh, the new guy must be horrified by all the carnage and chaos and--
--wait, he's just trying to stifle a laugh. Geeeez, everyone got busy after Bash killed him! Speaking of-- ha! He was decapitated? That's badass. Look, it might piss him off more if it was his own body, but all he sees is a photo of a headless zombie taking out Jeff, followed by a photo of Bash holding the severed head-- yeah, he's going to take that one.
And the one of Crichton, dead, with a witch's leg sticking out of his throat.
And the one of him-as-Jeff pelting Natsuno with beach chairs until he drowned. Man, those were good times...
Might as well collect a few photos of people getting creamed by pianos while he's at it...
