Name of Kid here: Tanya Evens
Fear amount of kid: 100
About Tanya: National Geographic photographer in the making, Tanya has two great passions in life: her camera, and other cultures across the globe. Though the extent to her interest is confined to what she's able to watch on TV--National Geographic and Discovery Channel oh yeah~!--and pick up through Social Studies at school, this girl's got dreams! She'll become one of the top photographers, travel all over the world... it'll be so amazing. Of course, someone so mystified by the world around her isn't so childish to believe monster exist. Duh. She'll prove she's no chicken... maybe she'll even catch a shot of something--! W-well no, of course she won't. Cuz nothing's real. Er. Monsters. Aren't... yeah....

Okay! Tonight was the night!
Tanya puffed her chest a little as she took a deep breath, standing in the doorway to her room. She could hear her mother downstairs in the living room with the TV on, and could only assume her dad was still in the basement with his computer. They'd already said good night, and Tanya had taken care of her hygiene needs. Stepping fully into her room, she closed the door behind her. She was a big girl, mom and dad wouldn't question why it was closed... that, and they didn't like it when she turned off the hall light when they still had to go to bed.
Seeing as she needed her room to be dark for this mission... well...
A thread of unease began to snake its way through her as she eyed her light switch. To prove to herself she was being silly--and very much the chicken she was trying to prove she wasn't--she began a quick round of her room. Her closet was checked first. Nothing but clothes hanging from a pole, shoes thrown across the ground. Shutting that door, she glanced towards the softly glowing fish tank and grinned to the colorful creatures within. Next, her toy box was investigated--she really needed to put more toys into the box than leave them scattered across her floor... Her computer desk was in the clear, and the bookshelf next to it seemed fine.
Of course under her bed was given a peek as well. Nothing but dust bunnies. Feeling confident that, yes, nothing was there, Tanya let out a sigh and moved back over to the light switch by the door. Her camera was set on top of the headrest of her bed. Just... y'know. In case...
Taking one last breath, and counting to three... she flicked off the light and bolted up the little steps to the raised platform her bed was on. Up and under, she pulled the covers to her chin. The light from the tank was only enough to cast the barest of blue hues across the floor in front of the tank, but otherwise left the room in darkness.
She'll prove it. Monsters don't exist..!
[ Lights off! ]

Truth to be told, Xiu was really quite excited at the prospect of going out and collecting FEAR. Although Nox had given them very clear instructions that they were only to frighten human scarelings, the baku wasn't going to complain. After all, this kind of opportunity was not often presented to the Amityville students, and considering that this was technically her first real scaring mission...well, starting with scarelings seemed like a good idea for someone as inexperienced as she was.
Especially considering how her usual scaring realm consisted of the dream world.
Peeking in through the window, Xiu took care to ensure that the child's attention was diverted before she swiftly slipped in, trying to make as little noise as possible. Dropping onto her stomach, she gave what she could see of the room a quick lookover. Where to hide? Perhaps...under the bed?
She chose to take the long way from the window, silently crawling past the foot of the bed and the toybox, and pausing momentarily to take in the skateboard. That could come in handy later. For now, however, she remained hidden behind the toybox, eying the fish tank with a little frown. It would have been easier to make her way to the bed had this room been completely pitch dark, but--ah! This isn't enough light to make out my features, right? But it might be enough to ensure that the scareling can make my silhouette. And the latter, of course, was exactly what she wanted. Perhaps she could use the glow to her advantage after all.
Xiu pulled herself up the step, wincing a little as she was bathed in the gentle blue glow. Taking a deep breath, she braced herself before quickly crawling forward, intentionally scrabbling her nails against the floor as she slithered beneath the bed.
If there was ever a time for Xiu to be happy that she was so small, it would be now. With luck, the scareling might have spotted her dark, disappearing figure from the corner of their eye.

This time, Malodore appeared in the closet, its wings bumping against the hangars and making them rattle like bones. A nice effect, it supposed, but it would rather be doing such things on purpose than accidentally... it pushed the door open very slowly, just the tiniest amount.
Hmm, the child had a tank of specimens. Interesting.
After a moment's thought, it placed its spread claws on the inside of the closet door and scraped them downwards, scratching furrows in the paint and making a rather unpleasant sound, one lo~o~ong scrape followed by a few quick skritches, like the ones Luce made on a door to indicate she wanted to come out. Would that do?

Moments later, Rosy phase through the wall just under the computer desk. Her eyes taking in the room only to stop at the tank. Hmm that was going to be a little tricky. Red eyes moving to the toy box, she couldn't help but smile. That would work just fine.
Floating across the floor, she pauses at the toy box to look at the tank once more. Her eyes shift downwards towards the skateboard before a wicked smile forms over her lips. Slipping into the Toy box, she reaches out through the side of the toy box just as she lifts the top of the box with her other hand.
At the last second, she push the skateboard hard across the room. Hoping it will crash into the wall, she lets the toy box top drop so it slams.

For a few moments, nothing happened. Just a mostly dark room with the sounds of her fish tank bubbling along. Glancing here and there along the walls, her windows, the furniture... her lids started to get heavy. Tanya barely even noticed the room becoming darker as she began to doze off.
Till she hear something scratching against her floor. Eyes flying open, she half-rolled onto her side to try and catch the source. Only a flash of black out the corner of her eye had greeted her. Tanya pushed herself onto an elbow, peering down at the floor. W... what was that? "...just the fish," she told herself. "Just... a shadow from the fish."
But that didn't explain the scratching noises-- n-no! No she hadn't heard a thing. Nope. Nope. Nope. Everything was fine!More sounds began to emerge from her closet. Nothing should be in her closest but clothes and shoes. She gulped. It was nothing... nothing. Still, she pressed herself back flat against the bed, pulling the blankets up higher around her. Monsters aren't real, monsters aren't real, monsters aren't--
Tanya let out a small scream at the new scratchings against the door, pulling her pillow in close to her head. That wasn't her fish.The sudden sound of her skateboard flying across the room had her eyes widening, seeing the usually inanimate object moving on its own. As it crashed into the wall, the slamming of her toy box really close to her bed made her shriek. Though she managed to muffle the sound a little by burrying her head under her pillow, it was an mistakable sound.

Rosy grins as she saw the fear meter fill up ten points. She was on a roll, and at this rate she was going to win the bet with Spinar. Phasing through the toy box, she slips under the bed before scratching the underside of it. A low moan turns into a scream as she reaches up from underneath and attempt to rip the covers off the scareling.
She was already scared, so this had to work right?

Oh ho--it looked like others were here to scare as well! The baku looked a little guilty at the scareling's screams, but hey, this was their job. Giving the other ghoul a nod of acknowledgment as she came to hide under the bed, Xiu slipped out and moved to duck under the desk, humming thoughtfully. Positioning herself, she aimed a sharp, strong kick at the desk chair, sending it careening and crashing into the opposite wall.
Ironically enough, the sound ended up startling Xiu as well. Jumping, she hit her head on the bottom of the desk with a loud thud, letting out a hiss of pain as she wrapped her arms over her head.
Ow.

Hearing yet more scratching under her bed had Tanya almost crying, letting a whimper slip out along with a broken sob at the end. This was crazy, this was so not happening. Monsters weren't real! B-but what was all this stuff! The moment she felt something pulling at her blankets however, she was sitting up in a flash, screaming. "Let go! Let go! Let go-o-o-o-o," she sobbed, tugging back on the cloth. Not that they were keeping her hidden any more.
The sound of her desk chair getting struck had her screaming again, releasing the hold on her blankets as she pulled herself up tight against her headboard. She could see it moving across the room-- and there it went against the wall! This wasn't right. This wasn't right. None of this made sense! When she heard another thud from under her desk, Tanya had had it.
Jumping to her feet on her bed, she jumped down onto the platform, up and over her toybox, and dove for the light switch.
...Nothing. Nothing was there! The child stood there for a few moments, tears pricking at her eyes. Taking a few deep breaths to try and calm herself, she closed her eyes briefly before flicking the switch back off. They weren't real. They weren't real...
Moving back into her bed, she picked up her old polaroid camera from the headboard and held it close, pulling up some of her blankets around her. And if they were real...
...maybe she could catch one on film...

Rosy almost screamed herself when she heard the thunk under the desk, followed by the hiss of pain from the other ghoul. She peeks out, only to check and make sure the ghoul was okay before she saw the scareling crawl back into bed with something she didn't catch a glimpse of. Slipping out from under the bed, she snakes her way towards the closet, only to hide slightly behind it. Keeping hidden, she tries to come up with what she wanted to do next.
Looking up towards the light of the tank, a smile slowly forms to her lips as she found herself trying not to laugh. Reaching outwards towards it, she starts to mess with the switch to the light of the tank, flicking it on and off at random for a few second.
Then very slowly, she starts to pick up a pattern as her other hand reached out to draw her nails down the side of the glass tank.

Well, she may have ended up with a bit of a bump on her head, but Xiu also managed to walk away from that stunt with a bit of FEAR--certainly enough FEAR from this one scareling. Deciding it would be best to spare her from any further fright (from her, at least), the baku waved to the other ghoul, gave her a thumbs up, and then moved to creep back out of the window.

[Entering!] The valkyrie came in through the window for this room, and settled behind the curtains. Well…er…did these things count as curtains? Sure, okay. Whatever. Hel noted that there was someone else at work already, and her brow furrowed. Hrm. The ghoul reached out and fumbled with some buttons on the printer on the desk. She managed to turn it on, and paused, as it made a series of awful start up printer sounds.

The lights from her tank flickering, Tanya clenched her hands tighter around her camera. Just the lights... just the lights.... maybe it was the wind playing with the power. No big deal! She was a big girl, she wasn't afraid of some flashing lights!
...scraching on the glass, however, made her scream. Though from both fight, and pain. Her hands clamped down over her ears, before she managed to pick up her pillow and throw it towards the tank. "Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!"
Lucyal +10 for a scream~! And that printer may or may not have a scanner attached to it... >> <<
"If you don't stop, I-I'll shoot!" Her threat could only go so far. And really, didn't make much sense. But she held the camera tight, raising it slightly. Which... area should she even point it at? Would it even work?

Oh…it worked! Huh. Fumbling with technology for the win! Hel had to grin as the little ghoul let out a scream as that awful printer finally quieted, and she stilled. Hrm. Okay…she should probably jet, lest she harvest too much FEAR from one scareling. Besides, she didn’t want to get Fatal Framed either. The ghoul slipped back out the window she had come in. [Exit!]

[Entering!]
Yosuke decided on his first room hastily, deciding due to his nature maybe hiding in the closet would be his best bet. He let himself float through the window, scraping his nails on the sill as he made his way to his desired destination. If he could manage it, he was going to try and make the clothes shake and billow, almost like they were alive. That'd stir up the scareling even more for sure!
