It was a warm Moonday morning when he received the envelope. At first the horseman felt sort of threatened at being labeled a Survivor—was someone making fun of the whole genocide thing?—but then he saw the little happy face in the corner and all was right with the world again. Mmur responded in kind, a proper open-mouthed :D directed at the one who had brought him the surprise package, but whoever it had been was long gone. Sneaky kids.
He ripped open his envelope, only recalling that he had signed up for some sort of game when he saw the picture, pin and instructions inside. Hairy. He stood still and silent for another five minutes, shifting his weight awkwardly. Was it too soon to go after this charming ghoul? The young horseman shook his head. Nope! There was never an inappropriate time for stalking! Or something like that.
Mmur sped across the compound to retrieve his helm before making his way over to Amityville and ducking behind a tree.

Siobhan had nearly forgotten about the game. Were it not for the whispers and murmurs of rumours she'd have been caught unawares. Did this mean the gam was now afoot? The long haired banshee muttered loudly to herself, alternating from floating to actual walking as she made her way round the school grounds.
"A gaaame.. maybe I can meet new friends? EEEEEEEE---oh but this is a game of survival. Perhaps I should work on my game face!" And so she slowed her pace, contorting her face as she moved. Frown! Shock! Grrrrr!!!

Mmur had thought this would be easy. Of course, he knew nothing of the paths students regularly took to get places or he might have picked one that was more well-traveled. He darted from tree to tree, then squatted behind a couple of rocks for a while. Finally, an hour or so later, he heard a faint shrieking sound and peered over the top of his hiding spot in the direction he thought it had come from.
He dropped behind the rock again. IT WAS HER!
What to do, what to do? This wasn't a fight. He couldn't just pop out and attack her. But if he didn't let her know he was trying to catch her, well, where was the fun in that? The horseman stayed put, muttering to himself and scribbling tactical diagrams in the dust at his feet.

Maybe like this? Rawr! Passing students raised a brow or two as the ghoul seemed to continue making faces at nothing, some rotating a finger around their temple to their friends. Suddenly she gasped loudly, her hands coming to grasp her face. What if she needed to be on the defensive!
She backed up, arms up defensively, making mock kung fu noises before she slipped on her own hair. The ghoul shrieked and tumbled backward, head over heels over a big boulder and landing on someone.

There! He could just...
Mmur let out a thoroughly undignified yelp as his target crashed into him from above.
"Oh, excuse me I... You!" He hopped to his feet, leaving the ghoul to tumble off of him or to do whatever ghouls did when they no longer had startled horsemen propping them against rocks. Well, this wasn't going according to plan at all. "I've got something for you?" He reached down, unclipping her pin from the fabric around his waist. "THIS!" He brandished it at her, crouching in a way that he hoped wasn't too menacing. This was all for fun. There was no need to punch her out or anything.

"Me!? AAAH--" Likewise, the banshee tumbled unceremoniously as he moved from her. Were it not for the length of her dress this would be a very compromising situation. She managed to get herself righted, waving her arms to get her long hair out of her face.
She paused in her fussing as he offered her something. "A present? For me?!" She glowed blue in delight, about to take it when it snapped at her. She gasped and withdrew, her hand smacking his hand away, shuffling backward and pointing a finger. "That was sneaaaaaaaaaaaaaaky! This is that game!!" That was close!

"Oh no, I had a sneaky plan, but then you fell right on top of it," he replied, standing up straight again and running the hand that wasn't holding her pin across the back of his neck. "It's nice of you to say so though." He leaned forward, peering at her glow. That was really neat! He had only ever been able to get his eyes to do that. Not even his mount had the decency to have any glowy bits. Maybe he could ask her about it later, but right now...
"I will be... chasing you now!" he announced, holding the pin out at arm's length again.

She fell on his plan!? "Oh.... I am SO. SORRY." She yelped, hands cupping her mouth. She squished his plan! All of the tears! She got to her feet when suddenly he declared he would now be chasing her.
"Wh--NO WAIT!! I AM NOT PREPARED! EEEYAAAAAAAAAA----" Siobhan screeched, flailing as she began to run for he life. "STAY BACK, VILE PIN!"

Mmur chuckled as he took off after her. He continued to hold the pin in front of him with both hands, and if Siobhan's kung fu moves had commanded attention, their current display was the equivalent of a trio of alpaca playing scrabble while on fire.
He sped up slightly, careful to avoid trampling her hair.

"You'll never take me aliiiiive!!!!" That would have been epic were she not a ghost, therefore already dead. In an effort to lose him she held back a branch she was running past and let go, in an attempt to clothes line his face.
It did not work.

With a surprised gasp, Mmur veered to one side, ducking to avoid the ghoul's branch. He didn't want to kill her! That wouldn't be very sporting at all. The horseman picked up speed again, catching up and running alongside her. "People kill each other while playing here? You lot are very... hardcore."

Woah! How did he get so close?!
"Hardcore yes! But I have not killed anyone! Wait, does this mean we do not have to die in this SURVIVOR game?" What a relief! Wait... if she thought they did why did she sign up again? "All my Kung Fu Training for nothing!"
Except she had no king Fu training. She only posed and made strange noises.

Mmur didn't have Kung Fu training either. He didn't even really know what Kung Fu was. He had been schooled in various forms of combat and, well, running certainly didn't seem to be a problem. He blinked. When had he caught up with her?
"I promise, See-oh B'han. I will not kill you," he said, his voice surprisingly calm in the face of all the running that was going on. "I will, however, do this." Mmur veered toward her, the clothespin flying forward out of his grasp as he tried to tackle her to the ground.
That was perfectly acceptable behavior, right?

See-Oh-Who?
Siobhan spun around as he tackled her, shrieking as she collapsed underneath him. Waves of hair caught up with her and piled all around, the vile clothes pin attaching itself to her dress.
Silence.
"I...." Her lip wibbled. "I-I...l-looooooost---" And then she cried. Waaaay to make a ghoul cry.
Jerk.

He practically flew over the ghoul as he landed, tumbling forward so violently that once he had stopped, he couldn't tell which direction was up. Mmur—always striving to maintain the illusion of being alert even when he could barely stand—clumsily rose to his hands and knees, crawling over to kneel at Siobhan's side. His helm was quite a ways away, but none of the nearby students seemed particularly interested in it. That was good. He wasn't sure if he wanted to try actually fighting any of them at the moment.
Mmur noticed the clothespin he had been carrying had found its way onto her clothing. He grinned goofily, pointing at it. "I..."
And then she began to cry.
"Oh no, Miss B'han. Don't... um... Here, I'll..." He reached for the pin, intending to pluck it off of her and put it behind his back or something so she wouldn't have to see her utter failure.
