You receive a mysterious package in the mail. It has your name on it, but no return address. Inside is an extremely creepy doll. Realistically it seems well made and well maintained, but there’s something off about it. If you choose to keep it, it seems to always have its eyes on you. Sometimes it seems to have moved from where you left it—and, since you received it, sometimes you hear a strange, echoing laughter. What do you do?
Jason had been suspicious of the package. It had no return to sender, and he wasn't sure why he had opened it considering that usually mysterious packages meant there was a bomb inside of them, but someone else managed to open it for him and they had seen... a doll inside? There was no reason ever for him to have gotten a doll, unless it was some sort of pokemon plush and he had pretty quickly thrown it in the school dumpster.
After that though, it seemed that the doll just wouldn't disappear from his life, and soon enough he had wondered if the doll was some sort of plot by the Negaverse as it seemed to follow him around, or he at least had the feeling he was being followed. There was strange laughter, like he was being followed by the pet Lil' Kel'thuzad from WoW. Mysterious, ghostly echoing laughter that sounded too haunting.
It hadn't bothered him as much while he was at school, but whenever he had been outside the laughter was quite louder, which meant it knew when he was more alone. However, he thought he had found it again, or maybe it had found HIM, but either way, he was now wondering what to do with the doll, as it seemed to literally be following him around now, and he was afraid that he was just hallucinating.
Character’s Name:Toby Yates Age: roughly 15 (birthday next week) Appearance: Green eyed, light skinned boy with short dirty blond hair and one streak dyed green on the left side of his face. 5'2" tall
For the bonfire, he's wearing a brightly colored light jacket and pants. No hat, and gloves in his pockets.
Personality Traits: (Full descriptions in quest) Virtues: Assume the Best of Everyone: if it isn't obviously malicious, it clearly isn't. Just Do It: No procrastinating or waffling from him Count on Me!: He does what he can, as much as possible Flaws: Too Trusting: Very easy to abuse his trust Nosy: He wants to know. So much.

At first, he thought it was a birthday gift from his eccentric grandmother. The timing was, well, close enough. For some reason, the crazy old coot had decided long ago that she only wanted granddaughters, and any that inconveniently weren't that would hopefully change their minds, provided encouragement. (As she would say, "That's a thing those young people do these days, you know!")
So it was that Toby wasn't really all that surprised by finding a creepy doll in a poorly labeled box. It did, of course, prompt a "eyuggh," from him when he laid eyes on it, but then he just shrugged and stuffed it onto a shelf, to deal with later.
He was pretty sure he had just stuffed it up there, but the next time he looked in that direction, it was in a seated position and its eyes were staring right at him. He tried to ignore it, but it wasn't long before he had to turn it away again.
Worse, he could swear the thing laughed. Just as creepy sounding as it looked, and sometimes he'd hear it when he couldn't see the doll. It even woke him up a couple times. He went to school, trying not to think about it, but when he got home, he found his desk chair slowly spinning...with that doll posed in it, a soft laughter echoing in the air.
Nobody was home but him.
"That's it!" he declared to no one at all, and snatched the thing up to immediately dump it in the garbage outside.
He was almost not surprised that it was on his shelf again in the morning. He tried not to despair as he went about his day, which did include the occasional laughter from somewhere. While at school, though, he happened to spot a flyer announcing a bonfire party in one of the parks, intended for teenagers (so, the booze and drugs would be hidden, he supposed).
"Perfect!" he muttered as he read that, much relieved that he had a solution.
So it was that he found himself in a park, clutching a probably-not-laughing box, and peering around a small crowd, wondering how exactly he'd dump a doll in the fire without anyone noticing.

For whatever reason or another, Benji found himself with a doll. Not just any doll but a special doll just for him! It arrived in the mail, unmarked in a plain box and something just told him not to open the damn thing, but eh, curiosity and all that. To his horror surprise, it was a fancy smancy doll, and as with most things he lost interest in quickly, it found itself shoved back into it's boxed and pushed under his dorm bed to be use for one prank or another later.
For some OTHER reason, the little d**k of a doll came out again, sitting all snugged out and cozy in his bed, snuggled under the sheets as if she had always belonged there and giggling away like she knew some big secret. Maybe this would have been cute or a good prank had he still been living at home with his siblings, but he wasn't. He lived with Peter in the dorms and his roommate new better than to give him any surprises. So whatever s**t was going down, it wasn't going to fly. There was no second chances or any sort of Oh, that's strange! from Benji, Nope. That doll was shoved into it's box, put under his arm, and taken right out of the dorm for good.
Somewhere earlier he had seen a poster or two about a bonfire night in the park nearby, and again he saw it while perusing about campus looking for a good place to throw the creepy as ******** doll away. Now that was an idea, wasn't it? To burn the s**t out of this door and see it's evil gaze shrivel up and crack with fire and coals! ... Perhaps not, since he'd throw the whole box in to keep it's eyes from watching him as it slowly burned, but still! Kill it with fire, as they said.
And it looked like he wasn't the only one out there with a box under his arm.
"Hey, you got some creepy s**t you're getting ready to burn too?" This kid looked like.. Well, a kid, but Benji scowled anyway, Irritated by their height difference already. ******** tall kids... He pushed that out of his mind and gave the box he had under his arm a good hard shake, the sound of it's porcelain skin hitting the inside with a soft thud. "Nothing like a giant a** fire to burn satan spawn and all that."

He was still considering how to best be subtle about this--didn't really want to be labeled that weird kid that burned dolls before he really even knew anybody--when someone immediately recognized what was going on. Toby twitched in surprise and turned to the little boy.
Wait, no. Not a little kid. Just a short older one. Probably older? He looked older, anyway. And had an eyepatch. Maybe he was trying to be a pirate? He shook his head to clear his thoughts, and replied, "Uh.. 'too'?" he smiled some, relieved, really. "Well, yeah, I guess so. You got one too?"
He shifted the box out from under his arm, and partially opened it to show the evil little thing within. "I'm gonna chuck it into the fire," he declared, jiggling the box some, and added with some relish, "I hope it burns."

Before Jason even realized it, he was near a bonfire and had actually managed to grab the doll as it was peeking around a corner while laughing. He could see the other guys who seemed to be holding the same type of doll, talking to each other. Well, at least he wasn't the only one then! He walked over to them quickly, a bit relieved that he wasn't the only one with this problem.
"Sorry to interrupt you two! I couldn't help but notice you guys had uh... well jut the same creepy doll that's been following me around too. Glad I'm not the only one with it! You guys have any ideas on how to get rid of it? I don't know if it's possessed or a robot, or maybe it's a robot but it's like the t-9000 or something and needs to be thrown into a volcano..." He was losing track of his thoughts as the doll laughed again. Honestly, could it at least just shut up for a couple of minutes?!
“Yeah, I did… It’s a real creepy looking thing too. Moved around once and I was like <******** this! so here I am. Purifying fire and all that. I even got some salt too, since I read online that if you throw salt into a fire it helps with demons and kills them more. … extra dead I guess.” Benji shrugged, not really caring either way if it helped or not. Okay, he did, but he wasn’t particularly superstitious, he rather just not have some freaky thing coming back to kill him cuz he set it on fire.
The sound of someone approaching him made his head turn, and his eyes narrowed at the man. “Why the ******** don’t you have it in a box?!”
Benji emphasized his point by giving the doll another hard shake, earning a laugh from the doll inside which only caused Benji to shiver a little unsettled.
“We ain’t got no volcano, but we got that ******** fire right there. It’s big enough, let’s chuck these Satan spawn in already!”

Toby nodded. Seemed perfectly reasonable to him. "Pour a whole bag of salt on it, just to be sure..." He looked around, considering the possibility of swiping some condiments from a cookout happening nearby. He decided against it, though.
And then another boy with a spooky doll showed up, this one carrying it like some kind of ventriloquist doll. Why. was all he could think...But he refrained from saying that. Instead, he said, "Erm...well, that there," he gestured at the fire, where people were already chucking random (not so doll-like) things in, "Seemed like the best bet to me. Let's find out, yeah?"
He didn't actually wait for an answer, immediately striding toward the fire, box in hand. It was a cardboard box, so he didn't feel at all bad about stopping short of the fire, then lobbing the entire thing in without any more ceremony at all--The presence of other people ready to do the same thing emboldened him, and now he just wanted it gone.
Honestly, it wasn't an especially good throw. The box came open, and the doll flew out...it laughed as it did, and, if anything, the laughing grew stronger as it bounced off a burning log, to be wedged against yet another.
The laughing...was not pleasant, and it made him wince, but, by god, the thing was burning. Or, well, starting to. He watched it in rapt attention, sparing only a small thought to glancing to the others.

Jason frowned a bit at the other two. "I did leave it in the box, but then it started following me. I mean literally. I actually just grabbed this one when it was following me from behind a corner of a building." Honestly didn't they know that if he could keep the doll in the freaking box he would?!
However, Jason followed Toby's lead and chucked the doll into the fire, with it also laughing the entire time. He continued to frown. "I don't think we're going to be done with these just yet." He muttered to himself. After all, if the dolls could already move and laugh on their own, maybe they could be like the terminator and they would need some sort of giant crushing machine?
For some reason, he felt as though most of the noise around the fire had died down suddenly, and looking around he only saw... himself and those other two guys. A chill went down his spine. "Guys... something is going on..."

There was no hesitation when it came to rolling that bad ******** doll into the fire, and he took great pleasure in seeing the box burn away and the doll itself inside.
And yet.. No... s**t they were coming back. For a moment, panic hit Benji, and his eyes darted around, trying to find a way to get those little ******** ******** to stay in the flames. It took a few seconds, but he found the extra fuel pile and began to throw as many of those heavy sticks into as he could, aiming to knock over an bury the dolls.
"Like ******** hell ya'll coming out of that goddamn fire!" Over and over and over again he threw the sticks, until one managed to pierce his doll in the chest, pinning it down as the fire consumed it further. The dolls laugh turned into a bone-chilling scream, forcing nearly all of the color to drain from Benji's face. <******** ******** ********, NOPE." While he may have normally spent more time worrying about the other guys with him, Benji wasn't stupid enough to keep staring the devil in the eye and bolted as fast as his legs could carry him. Like HELL he was gonna stay there to have some firey little crazy-a** ******** take him out!

Given the fact that I may have taken too long to tag this, and halloween is over, I think we should wrap this one up, but I'm more than happy to do another RP with you guys!

The dolls...were moving. Crap. Now there were three of them together. Toby figured the foul mouthed boy had the right idea, and helped tossing sticks and things at it...and when one started some kind of horrible screeching (and drawing some confused looks from other people around), he decided...
"Enough already!" and stomped forward, picking up a decently sized piece of firewood as he went. He approached as close as he dared to the fire, then just lobbed the chunk of wood onto a screeching, melting doll.
Amazingly, it hit the doll with a thunk and that one went quiet. "Oh, thank god," he muttered, thinking that if he ever saw a doll like that again, it would be much too soon.

It has been a bit. razz Smooshing and running from the dolls seems like a decent end. I don't think Toby'd feel very, you know, sociable after this mess.

Jason's doll had also decided to come alive, though it looked like other people weren't seeing it. He followed the other's leads though, and used what he could to destroy the doll as much as he could. He was breaking it into little pieces, though the head was still in-tact to the point where it was still able to produce sound, which made Jason even more desperate, eventually he grabbed the biggest piece of firewood that he could fine, and smashed it against the doll!
That seemed to do it, as the doll's head broke into two, and didn't make any more sound. He sighed, shaking the embers that had fallen onto his pants. At least the doll was gone now... hopefully. But he decided not to stay and find out as he ran back to his dorm room.
