[ORP] Jumping At Shadows!

[Blood_Goddess]

It went without question that they would dress up for Halloween, Jerome might not look it, (or look the need for it) but he actually very much enjoyed dressing up for Halloween, It didn't even really matter what he was dressing up as. Though the choose Zachaire had made for Batman and Robin was... pretty freakin' awesome, not to mention how freakin' cool these outfits looked!
wherever Zacharie got them, Jerome definitely felt pretty cool wearing the cape and cowl.

An already dark figure dressed in an even darker outfit, Jerome walked leisurely behind his much more energetic partner, the pointed tipped cape draped around his shoulders, covering his entire body as he moved forward, though with an easy flick of his arms the cape fluttered back off of his shoulders to relived the armored body suit underneath with the shaped bat symbol on his chest.
Yeah, he felt pretty cool.

"aight- ain't no rush man." Jerome replied "got all night, right?'

[The Garden and Courtyard]

Fujiko isn't the one for special events. To her, it had always made her feel left out. It is either because of the work that her parents did or it was because of her, being socially awkward and all.

But not tonight, tonight was her favorite night. She just loved this season and it's holiday, where people can NOT be themselves for once and where she didn't feel left out.

In her ninja gear she stepped into the Garden and it's Courtyard.

"Ready Hanzo? i can't wait to see what this House of Shadows has in store for us."

Hanzo said. Fujiko chuckled as they started to walk around the place.

"Watch my back, my friend."

[The Ground Floor Ballroom and Hallway]

NO. ONE. TOLD. HER. IT. WAS. GOING. TO. BE. A. HAUNTED. ATTRACTION!!!!!

Michiko was barely holding in her fright. Zacharel, her absol, was closing in on her, detecting his mistress' distress while Snap, her feraligatr, stood behind her...falling asleep.

Michiko turned around and took the Snap's claw. "Don't just stand there! You need to stay with me, okay?! You might uh....get pokeknapped or something!"

Snap looked at her, clearly not amused by this sort of thing and clearly not by the absol.

It's not that Snap didn't care, he does, he is Michiko's #1. But he sense no danger and obviously that absol didn't know the difference, always on edge.

Snap then flicked his long tail, making a huge thud that spooked Michiko and the absol.

Michiko almost fell while Zacharel started to make threats, growling and snarling.

Snap caught Michiko as she clung on to him. "What was that?"

Snap hated to make Michiko cry, but seeing that absol riled up was so worth it.

He never liked him, never liked how he tries to be Michiko's #1 by over doing it, such a kiss up.

Fujiko is haunted by...



A SPOOKY SPOOKY POKÉMON! Whoa! What can it be?!

(Will you catch and keep to reveal it or move along?)

Michiko is haunted by...

One of the automatons suddenly moves! The head of one wearing a tux and a skull mask is suddenly looking right at them!

Booby Prize!  

[Chibi_Kokoro143]

[The Garden and Courtyard, capturing it]

Fujiko saw something in the corner of her eye and stood still. "Did you see that?"

She then crouch down and stood very still. "There is no use on hiding, i can sense you there. I'm not going to harm you."

In the mean time Hanzo held on to her ninja gear from the back, ready to attack if necessary.

It has become a normal routine. Fujiko and Hanzo don't relax that easily, but someone has to in order to protect one another and gather information.

That way one or the other doesn't get hurt.

"Why don't you come out?" she said.  

[Chibi_Kokoro143]

[The Ground Floor Ballroom and Hallway]

Michiko ran away from the automaton and back into the hallway, tears streaming down her face.

"THAT WAS HORRIBLE!" as she crouch down to rest on the floor

Zacharel nuzzled his head to her knees as Snap came up behind them, yawning.

[Zacharie in Garden because where else would he go?]
"I suppose we do..." Zacharie said slowly as his friend approached, though the moment he got close enough he turned and hurried through the front door. The automated greeting was cheesy at best but he didn't pay it too much mind, simply looked around and started off towards the right. Another sharp right brought them to a large set of doors, which he pushed open without a second thought. It seemed he had made the right decision because a garden greeted him when he peeked his head through the door. "Oh, a garden!" The grunt smiled, obviously pleased with their current location as he stepped fully into the courtyard and started towards the closest plant.

"So far, this isn't particularly scary." He noted as he gently rubbed a leaf between his thumb and forefinger.  

[insidiousEnigma]

[Drayce entering the garden]
"Waaaaaah, Purrito it's so scary!" Drayce exclaimed, ducking beneath some cobwebs as they made their way down a long, dark hallway. Purrito was clutched close to their chest, as always and as preferred, wide eyes taking in their surroundings. "Espurr." The little psychic type didn't seem particularly impressed with the haunted house but was enjoying being carried around all the same. "Espurr." He pointed towards a set of wide, double doors with a small paw. "Eh? You wanna head that way?" The red-head squinted through the darkness only to flail and sputter as they walked straight into a cobweb. The one-armed flailing continued as they pushed through the doors and stepped out into the courtyard. "AHHH PURRITO! IT'S GOT ME!"  

[Blood_Goddess]

Of course Zacharie would find the garden right off the bat, He had like a sixth sense for it or something, could smell it... or somethin'
Jerome didn't really care where they went, so there was no protest as he walked through the doors after his sidekick, taking a moment to glance around the area and the number of people already exploring it. A young boy in green with a tall gray haired person, A few other trainers looking like they were already getting into the spooks that the place had to offer.

Stepping up behind Zachaire as he glanced around the man in the tall cowl opened his arms, and very abruptly grabbed onto Zachaire's side with a loud deep "BWOO!" while he was occupied by the leaf.

Fujiko has found...

A loud tapping noise! Is it coming from inside the walls?!

Booby Prize!

Zacharie is haunted by...

"YAAAAHAAAAHAAA!" Yells a particularly enthusiastic cast member dressed as a scarecrow, running through the trees and disappearing among them!

Booby Prize!  

[insidiousEnigma]

"Do you think-"
Zacharie, having been so caught up with the plant in front of him, didn't even hear Jerome come up behind him until it was too late. He wasn't even aware that he could be this loud but he proved himself wrong when a loud, shrill screech exploded past his lips. He was thankful for the training he'd been doing because otherwise he would have ended up face first in the rose bush. "Jerome!" He squawked indignantly as he turned on his heel to swat at the older man.

This turned out to be the wrong choice of action though because just as he turned his back to the bushes, a man dressed as a scarecrow leaped out at him. "Holy mother of-!!" He stumbled, tripped over the his own boot clad feet, and landed face first into the hard breastplate of Jerome's costume. His hands flailed before finding purchase on his best friend, which he used to push himself back up onto his feet. Eyes a bit teary and nose red from the hard impact, the purple-haired Robin sent a withering look over his shoulder to where the scarecrow had disappeared into the trees.

[Garden and Courtyard]

There had been a number of screams from people when they had entered the room, but it was one in particular that caused Ray to turn her head, looking behind them to spot just exactly what she had expected to spot.
her knotched eyebrow arched though her eyes remained half lidded over her bread smirk.
"Watch you're step String Bean, you're a little late to the party, and you never know what can happen to you when you're late" She teased.

Gon's eyes widened at Drayce's cries, the young boy having whipped around when he recognized his friend's voice. "Drayce they're not real." He called out to them, just in case they weren't certain. Before bounding over to try and help them over.
"You've got that stringy stuff stuck in you're hair."
Treecko clambered up onto the boy;s head, pushing himself higher up to wave at Purrito and try and help pull off some of the webs from the human and their pokemon.  

[Shaddaling]

[Garden + Courtyard ]

The garden was starting to fill up with people and here he was talking to a ghastly like a twit. Oliver rubbed his nose, nearly upsetting his glasses and set the mask back on, settling around his neck. "Going to come with me or?" He questioned and gave a slight smile as the ghastly nodded settling near his shoulder.

Towards the house then. "Going to have to think of a name for you," he mused as he walked past some others and nearly started at the scarecrow. "Fragger... " He sighed and continued on, leaving the two friends? Hmm, one had purple hair, was it dyed or natural?

Of course the Ghastly was going to come, he wanted to see what was going on, and well, this one had a kick a** costume. And when ever he tried to order a coffee, he never got one. Maybe this one could order him a coffee with the foamy sweet stuff.  

[TawnyAngel]

[ Taavi, upper Floor Landing and Rooms Mirror Maze ]

"Um, I guess I did!" Taavi replied, because he now had a Chingling hanging onto his boot. Taavi crouched down to hold his free hand out towards it and, when it approached, he scooped it up into the crook of his arm. "Looks like we got somebody to share the evening with hu?" he said with a grin to Sasha. "Aren't you just the loveliest? You have a beautiful chime you know."

The Chingling jingled happily and waved its stubby arms; yes, yes it did!  

[insidiousEnigma]

[Garden and Courtyard]

Drayce cracked an eye open at the familiar voices, their flailing coming to an immediate stop. "Green Bean, Leader Bean, mes amis!" They said cheerfully, obediently crouching as Gon approached to help. "I sure hope these aren't real...I don't want spiders crawling in my hair!" They gave a dramatic shudder as the three managed to clear the cobwebs from their head. They had been fairly certain that the cobwebs were fake...but this was an old house so you couldn't be too careful. "Purrito and I got distracted looking through the rooms." Purrito rolled his eyes, "Esssspurr." As if he would get distracted.
