SECRET STUDENT SEANCE



SECRET STUDENT SEANCE

Drama Club president Micah St. Clair makes sure the auditorium is cleared out in the evening, in time for a secret seance involving select members of the junior class. Their goal: to enlist the help of Gooseberry's ghost children in monitoring the MACUSA presence. The Living Kids–Dead Kids Alliance is a go!

When the crew sneak one by one into the auditorium, they'll find a large table set up onstage, the same one from the winter play, complete with a black tablecloth and an old Ouija board in the center. White candles on tall candelabras (also repurposed stage props) surround the table for some ~mood lighting~, and Micah orders everyone into their seats and the lights turned down low as they set up to contact the spirits. Zachary Zheng is stationed outside the main entrance to the auditorium, tasked with keeping any inquistive students/teachers/Aurors from poking their heads in.

HOW THIS WORKS

  • The seance starts at 7 PM and will last one or two hours, depending on how things go. The kids will get out in time for the lodge to close for the night.

  • This IC/OOC is only open to Ari, Bash, Calvin, Cole, Essie, Fern, Hazel, Jade, Jeffy, Lucas, Micah, and Zach.

  • Everyone will be allowed to keep asking questions until 8 PM MT*, at which point the seance will end. *If we decide to extend the seance for an hour, we'll make note of it in the OOC section.

  • As this is happening before curfew and not in a forbidden area, no one is breaking the rules. However, staff still frowns upon trying to contact the ghosts, so if anyone is caught at this, they may receive a stern talking to.


Β» Arrivals: For making plans, sneaking in, or showing off your seance outfits.

Β» The Ouija Board: Where all the action is! Ask your questions here. Answers will come from the [personal profile] gooseburied journal.

Β» Observers: For those of you who don't want to risk ghost possession by touching the planchette.

Β» Departures: As in leaving the auditorium after the seance is over, not death. Ha ha ha.

"These children died a hundred years ago," Ari gripes. "She doesn't mean space aliens."

QUESTIONS: Ari

[personal profile] odder 2018-03-07 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
"I shouldn't think so. Maybe there's a way to ghost-kiss that we don't know of." She eyes the board like she maybe wants to ask the technical details of the undead making out, but she refrains.

QUESTIONS: Lucas

[personal profile] lilwitchhazel 2018-03-07 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
It's getting harder for Hazel to keep her expression in check. "Why are you all like this?"

Fern's going to murder all the living people in the auditorium

STILL BAD. Evidently, Marg is not impressed by Charles' century of effort so far.

QUESTIONS: Cole

"We like talking to you," Cole says after a moment and glances around the circle at the others. Mostly Calvin and Hazel. Is this okay? "But. We wanted to ask for your help too. If you want to help us."
professionalcorpse: (πŸ’€ let's just move right along)

QUESTIONS: Lucas

[personal profile] professionalcorpse 2018-03-07 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
Bash rolls his eyes, lets one shoulder tick up. "It's easier to just nod and go with it."

"Some people leave books around!!" Jeffy has completely forgotte why they're here. "What else do they have to do but read???"

"It's our home too," Ari says immediately, sounding a little irritated. Well, maybe not the auditorium specifically - although she feels safe here, despite all the haunting.

She definitely is.

It skitters across the board, then stops. Back the other way, then stops again. It feels like earlier, when the ghost was trying to sign its name. Like multiple forces pulling at the planchette.

"Don't." Calvin stares at Micah with a dead look in his eyes to rival their phantasmal acquaintances. "No."

"Man, that's rough." Bash feels like he's maybe going to have to yell some comforting things at trees later this week. "Probably for you too. Which - sorry."

Ari stares at him for a long beat, and then she just scoffs. Turning her attention away from Jeffy, she says again to the group, "It means the same thing as 'strangers' does."
gooseburied: (Ouija.)

QUESTIONS: Jade

[personal profile] gooseburied 2018-03-07 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Letters come one after the other, with sharp precision.

YOU LEAVE.

QUESTIONS: Cole

[personal profile] colemoss 2018-03-07 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
Cole looks startled at this. But...what else is there to do but wait for the planchette to stop moving?

Ari withdraws her hand from the planchette immediately, but waits a beat before pushing her chair out from the table with a loud screech and moving to exit the auditorium. She can't help but glance up at the rafters as she goes.

QUESTIONS: Essie

[personal profile] magitechnically 2018-03-07 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
That is... not the answer that Essie was expecting to get. "Oh. Okay. Well that's good."
