[Open Class] Hauntingly Creepy [ TK ]

[Syusaki]

The creeper's course is by far the easier of the two courses, yet the reward is not that great. To play, characters must bring with them a small scream-o-meter pin with them, (these one are bat shaped! How cute!), which will measure just how much they scared their targets. Gnomes wander the area and it's your job to scare them. As you wander, be careful to avoid their flashlights and the various alarms that would give you away. The shadows are your best bet, and with the terrain there are sure to be some great spooktacular hiding places.

Mechanics:
You have exactly 15 minutes in the area to max out your scream-o-meter after which point, it will begin beeping and end any creeping attempts. Meaning you have a total of 15 rolls to use to reach the scream-o-meter's max limit of 5. These rolls must be separate. You will be using 1d8.

Dice:
1- You slide behind a tree, narrowly missing a beam of light by a gnome. Phew! (No Gain)
2- You sneak along the undergrowth, and a gnome, shaking walks past. You make no sound, but reach out, grabbing their leg. Screaming they fall over, dropping their flash light and run away. (You have Gain, +1)
3- A branch under your feet cracks, and the gnome you were creeping on spins, catching you in the light. They sneer and laugh at you before you sulk back into the shadows. (No Gain)
4- You climb up a tree and as a gnome passes under you, you drop down. In shock, they don't scream, but rather just pass out in fight. Looks like you were a little TOO good. (No Gain)
5- As you hide behind a bush, you bump into another student. You end up scaring each other which..hey, still works! (You have Gain, +1)
6- You stay still behind a fallen log, and you notice a large toad next to you. As a gnome passes by, the toad lets out a large ribbit, (which is really odd for a toad that size). As the gnome shines a light upon the toad, you take the risk. The mini opens it mouth, but you mask it's call with your own ghastly sound. The gnome screams and flees. (You have Gain, +1)
7- You think you've found the perfect hiding spot to wait for a gnome. In the hallow of some tree's roots you wait for a few minutes, but no one appears. Time is running out. (No Gain)
8- It was the perfect set up. Two gnomes, one clinging to the other in obvious jitters. You reach out from the shadows, tapping the shaking one on the shoulder before resuming your hiding. The one screams, causing the other to scream and they just start running. (You have Gain, +2)

gaia_diamond LEARNED ABILITY: Dramatic Darkness
Whenever you laugh 'evilly' or rather ominously, it seems that the shadows themselves warp and twist around your features making you seem larger and more powerful than before. You voice also echoes and sends chills down the spins of those who hear it.

The skeleton boil sat in front of the course. While there had been a more difficult option, TK opted for the easier course considering he had never attempted this class before. It seemed interesting and somewhat up his alley, so he decided to give it a try. His eyes glowed in the dark, and he wondered if this would hinder him somewhat. Perhaps there was a way for him to turn the glowing effect off? A wry chuckle as he stepped into the darkness with one of his eyes closed. This would have to do for now, he supposed.

Unfortunately, his vague attempts to hide his lit eyes failed when a gnome chose to throw a rock at his head.

Jackhole.  

[Syusaki]

Well, maybe the next attempt would be better, right? TK tried his very best to crouch down and mask his entire body behind a meager bush, but it was proving to be quite the challenge considering his height. On the bright side, he was only tall and skinny, not tall and muscular. That would have made hiding behind foliage a much more difficult problem for him to deal with.

He tried to move some branches away to get a better look at his next target, but ended up looking straight into the eyes of another student.

TK had expected to see darkness, maybe some beams of light from the gnomes’ flashlights, not another pair of eyes looking straight back at him. Caught off guard, the skeleton ended up leaning back until he rolled out of the bushes. Given his lean stature, it was quite the amusing sight. He tried to blink the surprise off of his face, and by the time he had managed to recompose himself, the skeleton realized that the other person had already run back into the night. Well, that was fine too he supposed.

This time, the boil was determined to do a proper scaring. Happening to stare another fellow student of his did not count, not in his books. One eye peeked from behind one of the trees scattered around the course. He tried to move as quietly as he could as he bent his knees so his arm could slither out toward a gnome. Eventually, he managed to roughly tug at the gnome’s leg, who let out a high pitched squeal and ran away. His lips curled into a soft smile before he silently moved toward a new location to try his luck.

For some reason, TK now found himself siting behind a fallen tree. He was kind of surprised that such a thing could be found here, but he supposed it lent some ambience to the entire area. It was convenient too, because a regular would never be able to mask his entire body. An entire tree, however? That would do just nicely. His legs were crossed as he waited for another opportunity to present itself. TK looked through a stray hole in the trunk to see another gnome passing by. Funnily enough, the toad next to him was about to make a sound so on a whim he too decided to open his mouth.

Unfortunately, TK stepped on a twig.

It did not go well.  

[Syusaki]

Yet another twig in his way.

...okay.  

[Syusaki]

Third time's the charm.

Not really.  

[Syusaki]

TK was so close. He just wanted that last bit of fear so he could finish this class already. A frown as he walked around in the dark, and for some reason he couldn’t see the other student and bumped into them. They ended up scaring each other, but at least it allowed him to complete the class like he wished for. Although it wasn’t exactly in the way that he wanted to.

This would have to do for now.
