The owner of this place seems to change frequently. Many who take residence here have disappeared recently soon after moving in. If you question any of the residents 9/10 will say they found an ad for the apartment, which has great prices, on Flybook the hottest social media site on the planet right now.
Rumor has it that the place is haunted Rumor has it that there are bogey men running around this place kidnapping people Rumor has it that everyone who lives here will die violently
But what isn't a rumor is that you probably can't beat the prices here! There is also always someone willing to let an exorcist or something in for a session just to stay on the safe side.
There are 6 floors that can be seen from outside and a basement, but the elevator button for the 5th doesn't work. There is a stairway next to the elevator but both always smell like strong cleaning solution in there... so strong you couldn't tell if someone say... died in there...
If you go down to the basement you'll find that its locked up tight with a strangely sturdy steel door with security cameras.. whomever the current manager is will insist that you stay away from there for "safety reasons". They themselves will never have a key but there is a rumor that the door can be heard opening at midnight if you're in the stairway....
The view outside
fairly normal, their mascot is a sun with a smiley face. Looks a little plain.. actually it blends in so well one might wonder if anybody really wanted people to bring their business here.
The main lobby and halls
so many cameras... well at least its safe right?
the front desk and lobby looks normal enough though they have a strange collection of magazines in the waiting area. Stuff about depression, occult interests, and other things something like say some dystopic supercomputer or something might want to see you pick up for some sort of psychoanalysis.. even the halls seem to have blot paintings and paintings that can be seen in multiple ways. As you go up a floor Everything seems more and more like a psychiatrists office than a place where people live...
The rooms
As far as anyone knows there's only one entrance to each room, only one way in and out, no trick doors. There is 1 window in each room but due to the location one can easily tell if the windows have been opened in the past week or so.
Though there is one room they never seem to rent out on the 4th floor for some reason
The rooms are locked with slider keys. Anyone that hacks into them would have to do so from inside the building somewhere.
room 404
supposedly there was a murder here and the room was never used again, it is kept locked
(quote me if you want to connect any sort of mystery to the people who live here)

Sad ghost "I have to get my story out or ill never be able to pass on..."
The clues lead here.. why here though "I remember this place I think. A brief memory. I remember being in my room with my computer.. and I also looked into a dark place, a hallway.." even now she couldn't think of much beyond some story she had been pursuing in life. Just as she tried to recollect whatever unusual thing she had seen she began to give a chill to anyone nearby.. "I feel afraid.. I wonder why" She wanted to speak, she wanted to tell bree to run away. Her lips would seem to be moving but she couldn't get the words out. She would begin to feel a little depressed, she knew this was wrong to ask of such a young girl.. it wasn't right but..... she had to see the end of the story. What was making her this way she wondered not sure if this was normal. She kept telling herself that everything would be ok as long as the story was finished, she knew that one did not guarantee the other but she couldn't help but lie to herself.
She couldn't even seem to hold on to the thought of asking forgiveness later.. there was only the story.. there was only the story.. THERE WAS ONLY THE STORY
Bree ran all the way there, so needless to say she was very tired and pathetically out of breath. She was a mathlete, not an athlete. After some panting and knee clutching she was good enough to speak.
"This is your place..." She assumed by what the ghost girl said. "It feels so... Cold." She looked around to see nothing but a musty old place. The faucets looked like they were from the 80s, and the electrical hook-ups didn't look much better. She found herself rubbing dust from an air vent between her thumb and index finger, like she was obliged to by the gods of noir.
"How long has it been, if you don't mind me asking." Bree was dickin' it up now. The only thing she really needed was for Mellon Collie to tell her were the stuff she was working on was. "... Afraid? Why would you be afraid?"

Sad ghost "I have to get my story out or ill never be able to pass on..."
She could practically accept that she might go to hell at this point. She couldn't bring herself to tell Bree it was her she was afraid for. "Ah.. its nothing.. but my computer is here in room 409 on the fourth floor."
An old man came to the front area to see if bree was the next... customer...
"Looking for a room dear, or perhaps visiting.. a friend...?" As the man spoke his right eye would seem to... wander downwards while his left eye with a slightly off color remained still.
"My name is.. was Hanako Araki" The ghost would say not really sure she was technically even herself anymore.
Bree was catching on to the whole detective thing pretty quickly. The only things bugging her were in the head of the mysterious man.
"Oh hi, I'm a detective with the force. I heard there was some kind of mishap here concerning a... Hanako Araki? Room 409?" She said fairly sure of herself, if only in that what she was doing was totally dishonest. "You, uh, mind if I have a look?" She flashed her wallet open and shut so fast there must have been a badge in it!
"Oh, and please don't say it; I know I look young." She put her hands in her belt loops, because that was just what you did. The intrepid student would have winked to the Hanako if she weren't so hellbent on not breaking character.

Ghost of Hanako Araki "I have to get my story out or ill never be able to pass on..."
The old man hadn't had time to look at the badge, he was too busy looking at that sexy highschool-age looking form. He could just imagine what a fun time he'd have with this one. Now that he thought about it he'd been told the one she was to visit would be... checking out.. and well before she actually died. "Ah, I'm sorry to hear that" he would say "Right this way dear let me show you the way" it was an old building but the walls absorbed sound well enough. "what's your name again dear?" he was ask thinking the girl looked just like his favorite student from back when he was a highschool teacher, he could still fondly remember what he did to her... before finally drowning and killing her after he was done playing with her.
Some strangely new looking cameras would seem to turn to follow but they were aimed at the man rather than bree. Someone or something was watching them but Hanako couldn't take her mind off this story!
"..." she wanted to protect bree but she couldn't think of anything else. Hanako hated this! But it was strange that she could still think of some things like this and not others... why???
Bree was almost caught. Her eye twitched, her face nearly losing its facade of "I'm in charge." She looked back to the man with the straightest face one could expect from a highschooler--ever--and muttered a name as if it should be known already.
"Ruby. Ruby May. You'd know that if you read the paper. Now, please, can we see that room. I'd like to get this overwith." She'd saw a few crime shows in her day and knew to come up with an effective name all you had to do was pick a gemstone--or mineral for that matter--and pair it with a month. The rest of the walk up to the room was uncomfortable to say the least. The cameras in the place, which the newly observant Bree noticed, were a little too new looking for the rest of the building according to what she saw earlier.

Ghost of Hanako Araki "I have to get my story out or ill never be able to pass on..."
The old man unlocked the door to the room. "right this way Ruby dear" Even the ghost kindof cringed at how the man called her by her first name so easily even though she was supposed to be a detective. Hanako began to feel regret for some reason. She was starting to realize what was wrong with her... she was a journalist and it was her responsibility to get the story out, not for some selfish sense of completion but rather to protect and arm the people with information! She quietly cried creepy ghost tears realizing she was still a journalist even after death.. she was still chained to this world and all but at least it wasn't all bad. But wait she had to help Bree probably, something wasn't right here! On top of that there was something coming again, that scary thing from before.. was it an evil spirit? Or maybe an evil person with an evil spirit...
The man allowed bree to go into the room first while pretending to be a gentleman. He couldn't wait to get her unconscious and into a cage somewhere where nobody could hear her scream.
The ghost seemed to be pulling bree towards the room.. "Hide inside! We.. er.. you have to call for help! Hurry!"
Bree shuddered a little. This act of confidence could only stand so much creepiness. She decided to gamble though.
"Ok, wait out here. I'll let you know if I need you." She definitely didn't want to be alone with that guy, and though she wasn't technically alone with Hanako there it might as well have been the case. Immediately in the room she would pull out her phone and try to call Rai.
"Hello...? Rai, get here! I'm on fourth, house with no lights and few windows!"

Ghost of Hanako Araki "I have to get my story out or ill never be able to pass on..."
"I think something is following us... or me" the ghost would say looking and sounding a bit worried.
The old man was about to insist on staying to ..observe.. the young lady's work but suddenly the elevator made a strange noise as something deactivated it... "Damn.. I'll right back it seems something is going on with the um.. maintenance" he would hurry off figuring he needed would need to get his 'play kit' anyways for such an energetic young victim erm lady.
Inside the room was a computer plugged into a wall that just happened to be placed near a corner of the room opposite from the window since that was where the only outlet was. It also so happened the curtains were a bit messed up so they couldn't really be closed. Everything was set up to be spied on from outside or inside through the computer camera which Hanako had won as a prize for getting this apartment with the great view according to a little brochure still lying on the table. "I was only here for a little while, I only brought my computer but I won a computer camera.. my laptop is under the bed though, I keep.. kept the wifi on it turned off for security though. What you want is on the laptop but.. if you don't mind could you get the memory card out of the computer.. nono its called um.. the flash the harddrive! Ah, unplug it first though so you don't get hurt!" She didn't really need the harddrive.. she just wanted to take her old recordings with her somehow. She felt like a journalist while watching herself on camera. Maybe someone could see it or she could somehow take it with her.. she knew she couldn't really do this but she just wanted to feel like she tried.
"What the ********, the trail led us back to base?" "Little things like that still shock you?" "well look who the ******** talk'n you wouldn't be shocked if I shot your a** dead right here and now" "Well considering how often you do it... no I wouldn't be." "Huh, whatre tryn ta say smartass you wanna go?" "shut up I hear something.. someone used this elevator recently. I'll check the surveillance and you make sure nobody gets in or out of here, and for ******** sake keep it in your pants!"
Brutis Black would make the elevator move, which would make a noise that could be heard by Bree and company, down to the first floor to use his fireman's key to deactivate it then head over to the managers office near the entrance to check the security footage and see what floor the target was on.
As soon as Brutis Black was out of sight Whimsy white peeked around.. technically he could kill anyone who came into the room so he went to the door and waved down an old lady passing by with her groceries. "Hey lady come here real quick" Soon after an old woman's scream could be heard followed by Brutis Black's profanity laden screaming at the idiot doing something unnecessary in the main hall with some old woman's corpse.

Fear had been circulating around this building, Rai could feel it, it was crazy, but its what led him here. A slight wind would be felt by Bree as a figure would be seen rising from the shadows. First it was an arm raising from the ground, and then a head, and finally a body, Rai had risen from the shadows he was facing away from bree and finally turned his body in a twisting mannor."Okay just clearing this up, if this is a rapist, someone is going to get hurt.".".".".".
Bree just nodded as all the tour talk commenced. She didn't want to blow her cover, and thought it best to stay in character as a professional no matter the circumstances. Plus, the next operation, she knew after the guy left, was going to take precision and speed; and so concentration making the laser guided microscopes--imported--seem shaky. She was quick to notice some things, like a few creepy additives to the already sickening pot. She was committed to the idea of nabbing the drive and laptop, one of which she had in hand quickly they other she was jiggling loose like a pro student, when a startling rush of shadowy air halted her descent out the onto the ledge.
"R-Rai-kun!" She squee'd pulling herself back into the room. She looked him over, hearing footsteps which never sounded so terrifyingly offbeat to her own heart, and the dilapidated groaning of---yeah, not going there. She couldn't lie to Rai, and furthermore couldn't convince someone of his personal integrity the opposite of what he clearly saw to be true.
"... I'd like to say no, but I think we both can tell what's going on here." She looked away to continue. "There's a really creepy guy. He's coming back for me. There's also whatever you hear happening in the hall... Rai, take care of that out there! I'll escape." She thought the demon boy she knew as her best friend causing an uproar in the hall would at least deter the old perv from coming back. She was backing out toward the door now. How far could she get? All the way?
Ghost of Hanako Araki "I have to get my story out or ill never be able to pass on..."
A strange sound like a silenced but powerful weapon could be heard coming from the fourth floor entrance to the stairway.
The Hanako could hear gunshots but was strangely tempted to go look at what was going on and write it down somewhere. The old man downstairs could be heard attempted to scream from somewhere in the stairway but would fail as he was drowning in his own blood after being shot.
Soonafter the lights and power would go out and a visible grey nerve gas-like substance that would also suppress demon powers would begin filling the halls through the ventilation. If one had the ability to detect magic sources you wouldn't find the source of this but it would be very apparent this wasn't a normal human chemical weapon just by looking at it. It would give off a signal similar to that of a fallen angel however.
Hanako spoke to bree, "You know that thing?? Is that a human or.. ah wait, how will we escape? Something seems to be coming from the ventilation... I think there was a fire escape ladder on the roof!" Of course this ladder wasn't really designed to help anyone escape, in fact it had been damaged to prevent this but there were some spare supplies like rope, duct tape, and sedation needles for kidnapping people up there. There was perhaps some way to get down.
Flynet's censor's reacted to another appearance from the unknown that appeared before. It seemed this one matched the specs of a fairly popular musician. It did make some sense that such beings would be so deeply integrated into society and so a plan was hatched to take advantage of what seemed to be attracting him to this place. Even if the girl were killed he could perhaps be convinced she was still alive.. however it seemed that there were certain.. life after death issues to be considered.
Having received orders to keep the girl... repairable... the Brutus and Whimsy had to reconsider their idea of just burning the site and heading to the next after killing everyone inside.
Whimsy had released so much of his poison, he was ready to light himself up but Brutus would promptly remind him of what happened to the last guys that didn't follow orders. Unable to actually undo releasing toxins into the ventilation system Whimsy got dressed and tossed the old womans corpse over his shoulder to take her and dump her down the stairway.
"What now?" "Hell if I know, the boss said to keep them separated." "Lets just catch both, I'll take the girl and you get whoever that guy is" "what are you gonna do with her" "what're you tryn ta say huh?" "... I'm taking the girl" "***** style="color: blue">"LOOK WHO'S TALKING!" "THIS ONE'S OLD" "YOURE STILL A FREAK.. ah.. wait, we better hurry!"
As this was said someone from the lower floors still living here came from the stairway coughing up blood. Another gunshot would be heard before this man could even ask for help. Everyone in this building had been marked as a threat by flynet, they'd need to clean house and pack up rai and bree who seemed to be on the fourth floor.
While Brutis handled securing the perimeter with strangely gullable or easy to defeat mercenary guard types who may or may not be useful..... Whimsy would get to work floor by floor after having given some hint of what his power may be already.
One moment a gunshot could be heard from one side of the building less than a second later another would appear far too quickly for a normal human to have traveled that far. A twisting metal sound could be heard coming from the vents as people, as few as there were here, screamed only to be cut off quickly like animals being slaughtered without much warning.
A crying husband and wife would make their way to the fourth floor in a panic, the woman was dressed as a dominatrix and the man had a... rather comical looking pink piggy costume on. He looked more like a mascot than a submissive. The two encountered rai not sure what to think about the situation. The pig thinking he was a shinigami or something swore he came to this town to repent for his sins at the famous cathedral and that he'd never sell drugs to kids again! The wife suddenly began vomiting blood and fell over and he kneeled over to help her up crying. More foot steps and cries for help could be heard coming from the dark stairway but it would quickly grow silent as anyone coming from the second floor wouldn't have made it all the way up from the lack of clean air alone.

Breanna, who still had a moment to think, decided this was the only chance she was going to get. Fear was partly keeping her from jumping, but there was also the possibility that this was leaving Rai to his death. She took a breath and shook the thought from her mind. She was always the one worrying; now if she at least had faith she wouldn't been the bad guy by sentencing her best friend to a faithless death.
"Rai... Kick some a**." With that she closed her eyes and let herself go. Luckily a pile of trashbags would be there to disgustingly save her. The laptop was flush against her chest as she poof'd into the pile of refuse. She would open her eyes to see a world of adrenaline. Immediately the girl took off with tech in hand.

Rai's head tilted to the side as the leather max flexed a bit. it tightened and returned to normal as his head returned to place. Maybe everyone thought rai had become a demon....rai couldn't believe what he had became but a demon was far from what he actually was. A human on a quest for answers."....i dont know what the hell is going on."He said as he raised his hand towards the couple and watch the man panic even worse when ink black tendrils shot from his sleeves and wrapped around the two, he would then lead them out the window and lowered them to the ground, the tendrils returned to him as a voice began speaking to him in a feminine way."Oh god why are you so loud."Rai sighed as he realized who it was."Great, and look whose awake, im busy right now we can talk later."He said as he began walking, entering the area where Whimsy would be located."....So your one of the dicks that kidnapped my best friend, brought her to a bad housing area, and chose horrible mask. This is what a good mask looks like!"Everything was silent for a second. Until rai would unzip his "Mouth" which was the area on the mask where the teeth design was visibly located. The all hell would break loose as the hall would be filled with darkness, and the floor would act as a stick to keep whimsy in place. If he got caught in it, Rai's hand would come from the ground and grab whimsey, soon after his head would surface and he would drag him under in the depths of darkness.
