[the feed clicks on and whAT THE FUCK is looking at you is that-- yes it’s someone wearing the masks that Resnik just warned everyone about. it’s impossible to tell who they are at first glance, so it’s a good thing numbers are attached to these broadcasts. at least until one of them speaks:]

Happy Halloween!

-- Happy Halloween! At least, we're assuming it's Halloween. And okay, the timing's kinda crap, but whatever. If the ship wants us to party, I'm going to party.

I dunno, Halloween was a big deal where I’m from. I don’t know what you guys are so freaked out about. We get shit in our lockers all the time.

I'm actually pretty relieved that the big shebang ending of our blackout were these bad boys. Masks are less weird than ID tattoos, that’s for sure. And freaking- custom fitted jumpsuits? Yeah. I’ll take the mask.

[Tate leans forward into the camera and- yeah that’s an eyeless sheep face right up in your grill, and his voice drops- it’s hard to tell if it’s supposed to be playful or scary or both.]

So get your trick or treats ready, Tranquility, we’re about to have a spooky time.

[Wichita’s going with playful, because she ends up laughing a little bit behind her mask, a muffled sound but a positive one, no less. She’s feeling pretty good, excited really, about the masks.. the idea of having Halloween here! most of the time the scary shit is out of their control, so this might actually be kinda fun. maybe. potentially.]

Oh, and hey team jailbait! Grab your masks and get your butts over here, if we’re really gonna have space Halloween, we’re gonna do it right. And I expect you all to participate.

[she leaves it vague, and intentionally so. let people think they’re just getting together to goof off and have some fun for a change, but really she does want to meet up with the ‘team’, new recruits and old maze members, to talk about some stuff before the next jump. this just seems like the easiest way to get their attention.]


[ooc: red is for Tate, orange is for Wichita.]

We were appointed that name by some fellow passengers. We didn't choose it, it chose us.

[ let's ignore that she's about... five years past jailbait. whatever. ]

[entrapments]

I thought it was Scooby club now?

Ugh I can't keep it straight.

[cons]

Wait, I thought we weren't gonna go with Scooby club.

--We should just be the Ghostbusters.

[ SHE'S BIASED OKAY ]

voice|

[entrapments]

But there aren't any ghosts.

[heltersskelter]

We could be the Breakfast Club.

You can be the girl who eats the weird sandwiches.

I wanna be an air force ranger!
I wanna live a life of danger!

I'm very okay with us being the Breakfast Club.

[entrapments]

And you can be Emilio Estevez.

[cons]

The Mighty Duck man himself. Just as God intended it.

[entrapments]

I refuse to flying-v anywhere. Just saying.
There have to be some limits on this, the flying-v is an absolute no.

voice|

[cons]

We have way too many people now to go for the flying-v. We'd look ridiculous.

[ says the girl wearing the bandit fox mask ]

[yardbird]

That... That's special. Really.

[video]

[cons]

Don't you judge us. Judgey-judgey.

Where's your mask?

[video]

[yardbird]

...

[VERY reluctantly, he just holds it up to the video feed.

[It's a gasmask, much like the one that was forced on him in Silent Hill when he became the Bogeyman and the Repeater. Needless to say, he feels uncomfortable just holding it, though at the same time he hasn't been able to get rid of it yet. Almost like something is keeping him from doing so.]

[video]

[cons]

[ yeah she notices his expression while he's holding it, though she doesn't really get the- it's just a gas mask! not too scary, but it can be. perfect for Halloween! ]

At least yours'll be useful if we have another gas problem.

Fear gas, not- [ because she's laughing oh man why is she in such a goofy mood ]

[video]

[yardbird]

[He stares at her at first, eyebrows slightly raised.]

I guess. I'm not feelin' really great about puttin' it on, though.

[video]

[cons]

Why? We're wearing ours and we're fine.

Unless you're not into gas masks.

[video]

[yardbird]

Yeah, it... it's, uh... not my thing.

[video]

[cons]

Maybe you can trade with someone.

[video]

[yardbird]

Maybe...

[But is he going to? Probably not.]

[video]

[cons]

I'm usually pretty uptight about the stuff that goes on on the ship, but unless your mask is like... dripping blood, or screaming profanities or something crazy- And hey, I even considered The Mask theory, like the Mask, the Jim Carrey movie? But it hasn't taken over my face and made me wear a zoot suit yet, so.

[video]

[yardbird]

[Murphy sighs. There's really no easy way to beat about the bush with this one, so he'll be blunt:]

This thing was worn by a monster that was followin' me when I was in Silent Hill, and -- the second time, when there was fog. Whoever left this on my door is a sick son of a bitch, and if I find ever 'em...

[He takes another deep breath. His voice is low. He starts to sound increasingly more frustrated, even, because no matter how much it sickens him, he still feels like wearing the same face as that damned murderer.]

That thing killed a kid in front of me.

I'm not puttin' it on.

[Not yet, in any case.]

[video]

[cons]

Oh. [ eeek. she doesn't.. know what silent hill is, but she does remember the fog, pretty damn clearly. so. ] M'sorry.

[video]

[yardbird]

Nng... [Way to make things awkward, Murph. He stops, scratching his head agitatedly.] Don't... Don't worry 'bout it.

[video]

[cons]

Well, you're not the first person to get a fucked up mask on your door. And maybe there is some big meaning behind it, and maybe it's not all good things, but. Whatever, I vote you ditch the thing, if it just brings up bad memories. I've never seen my mask before, so there's no, um. Baggage.
