Phantump by
Deejaye
The next night the moon seems a bit more red, a bit brighter, even closer to crimson -- just like the eyes of the little phantump conversing with Vulpix. Unlike the other ghosts you've met so far, she seems a little more solid, a little more stable -- and in places her body swirls like ink. They both look up at you as you approach.
Today, again, Vulpix is uncharacteristically serious. "Ready to help again?" she asks, but there's no cheer in your voice. She turns to phantump, "Could you repeat what you told me?"
"We need to reinforce the barriers around this area," Phantump offers up. "Many ghosts are too weak to take form without stabilizing barriers in this region. It's been too long, and there's too much darkness he--"
"--What kind of darkness?" you interject, finally eager for some answers, and she glances at vulpix instead of answering herself. Vulpix shakes her head and cracks a half-smile at you.
"Does it matter? The ghosts need your help either way. Will you leave if I tell you?" A pause. "Will you leave if I don't?"
You remain silent.
Phantump, clearly uncomfortable now, shifts from one foot to another and continues, "If we don't reinforce the seals around this area, the ghosts may never be able to come back. I can't do it alone." Her glowing red eyes look into yours -- pleadingly.
How to Play:
Roll a 1d100 (only one roll per person). The person with the highest roll will receive the sumi-e Phantump.
Additionally, there is a "community goal" of reaching 1000 points -- how/why this matters is a secret ;D Also -- while this is not required and may not have any bearing on the results, a short (ex. 1-2 sentences) IC response is encouraged. People who have already won soquili freebies, as well as staff, are able to play (though staff may not win pets in this event). If you are proxying, please state the name of the person for whom you are proxying.
Troubleshooting:
*** If you roll the incorrect type of die, ex. 20-sided, void your post but DO NOT delete it. Create a new post with the appropriate roll, but please include a link to the voided post.
*** If you roll too many dice, only the first number will count.
