>> ◉ Use flashlight to check surroundings. Commands You briefly turn on the flashlight. You can see your party members ... and you notice that some of them have eerie patches of dry blood on their clothing. Was it from the chandelier? You are not very sure. What is more, the mist is so very thick - you can literally see the beam of light emitting from the flashlight. It startles you, because in the darkness, the mist looks like a dark purple haze. It keeps shifting and swirling like the sky, or the ocean, and you swear for a few moments you see faces, but it may just be your imagination. But through all of this, you really cannot tell what you are imagining from what is actually real anymore. However, you really only get to see glimpses of your surroundings for a split second - and from what you can tell in the misty darkness, the walls seem to be made of both dusty marble and some sort of bloody, solid white substance. Suddenly, you hear a low call from the mist, strung together among the sounds of the wind. It seems to gradually decrease, as if it coming closer ... closer to you ... [ ] Turn off the flashlight. [ ] Shine flashlight through the hole on the door. [ ] Throw a match into the direction of the sound. [] Use a match on the door. (Stick it through the hole.)
>> ◉ Party Sanity Check! Commands You sense that Vivi and Neku seem very unhinged from these recent events. Before heading through the door, you attempt to scout them out in the darkness to comfort them. Comfort: Vivi Spoiler || You || ... Vivi? || Vivi || ... W-what do you want, kid. Vivi refuses to look in your direction. His voice is shaky, and his brow reflects nervous contemplation. || You || Are- are you feeling okay? His voice suddenly becomes charged and stinging. || Vivi || Screw off! Do you think I look okay? Do you think any of this is okay? God damn it. God damn you and god damn it all. What kind of idiot are you to ask if any of this is okay? || You || ... || Vivi || This is ridiculous, really ridiculous. This isn't happening, is it? The mist, these- voices in the wind - everything! Every single thing. It's terrible. I- I can't think straight! Does that answer your question? I can't think straight! Nobody can! || You || ... I- I'm sor- || Vivi || It's terrible! All of this is terrible! She died! Saxima lost her life here and we- we just left her! This is my fault! All of this is my fault! I killed someone! I'm a murderer! A bloody murderer! And you'll all die here too because I am a fucking imbecile who was never fit to be leader! Vivi turns to you. || Vivi || This is all my fault, kid. I've doomed all of you. I deserve to die. Even in the darkness, you catch a glimpse of what seems to be a tear. Or at least you think so, if the mist is not playing tricks on you. Startling as well, since Vivi had always seemed one who never succumbed to his softer emotions. But Vivi turns and runs off in the opposite direction, in the darkness. You hear a calamity from the other party members as they try and catch him. Krowley grabs him by the arm but he manages to rip it free. Misty, having heard all of the conversation, steps directly in front of Vivi's path. Vivi smashes into Misty and they both tumble to the ground. || Misty || Don't be an idiot, prick. We chose you as leader for a reason. We have enough trust in you, even if some of us don't always agree. Do you really think running off to die is something that the sane Vivi would do? Don't blame yourself, Vivi. None of this is your fault. Now get yourself together so I can get off you and you can help us escape. You are our leader, after all. Vivi gets up and does not say anything else. Sanity: Vivi [ 7/10 ] Comfort: Neku Spoiler You stroll over to where you think Neku is. || You || Hey Neku. || Neku || ... || You || Neku? || Neku || ... You realize Neku is sitting on the ground in a ball, his knees close to his chest. In the darkness, it seems that he is staring blankly at the door. || You || Neku? Neku? Are you there? || Neku || ... You immediately jump to shake Neku. || You || Neku! NEKU! Wake up! Neku's head turns towards you very slowly. His eyes are wide, and his mouth slowly forms a wide smile. It all seems very unnatural. || Neku || Hi. || You || Neku! What's gotten into you? || Neku || ... || You || Neku! Goddamnit! Stop it! || Neku || Nothing's wrong. Nope. Nothing's wrong. Nope. Nopenopenope. Nothing's wrong. You're so silly, friend. Nothing's wrong. Why would something be wrong? Ha. Ha. Nothing's wrong. Nope. || You || Neku, there's very clearly something wrong. || Neku || ... || You || Neku! Jesus! You shake Neku again. He continues to blankly stare at your torso with a smile. || Neku || Saxima didn't die. The voices told me. The voices told me everything. Saxima didn't die. She didn't. Nothing's wrong. Nope. Nothing's wrong. Don't worryyyyyyyyyy. Nothing's wrong. Saxima didn't die. She didn't. Honest. Nothing's wrong. || You || The voices? || Neku || Saxima didn't die. The voices told me. She couldn't die, right friend? Right? She couldn't die. She's Saxima. My friends can't die. People only die in movies. My friends can't die. We'll be friends forever. Right, friend? This is just a dream. This is just a dream. The voices told me. Nothing's wrong. This place doesn't exist. Saxima didn't die. She woke up. She's with the voices now. || You || ... || Neku || The voices. They're all around us. They sound like waterfalls. Saxima didn't die. Nope. Nopenopenope. You have to strain your ears to listen. People only die in movies, right? On the television, right? Saxima didn't die. She couldn't have died. This is a dream, friend. You'll wake up. I'll wake up. Saxima woke up. Saxima woke up because the statues destroyed her body. I saw it. I saw it with my eyes, friend. Saxima woke up. She didn't die. Friends can't die. This is a dream. || You || ... || Neku || Nothing's wrong. Nope. Nopenopenope. Nothing's wrong. Saxima didn't die. The voices told me. The voices are my friends. You should join them, friend. I can't even tell the difference anymore. But this is a dream. Saxima didn't die. Her body wasn't pulverized. It was a dream. This still is a dream. Nothing's wrong. Why would anything be wrong? Nothing's wrong. Don't worryyyyy. Nope. Nopenopenope. Nothing's wrong. Neku turns upwards to stare you in the eyes. || Neku || It's all a dream, friend. This is a dream. Friends don't die in real life. Saxima didn't die. She woke up from the dream. We can all wake up from the dream like her. The voices are telling me this. Nothing's wrong. Nothing's wrong. And if none of us cannot wake up from the dream like she did, I'll make sure we all do. Then we'll be happy right? Waking up from the dream like Saxima? She isn't dead, right? It's just a dream. Nothing's real here anymore. I'm not real. You're not real. It's all a dream. Saxima didn't die. Nope. I'll wake you up, friend. You're nice to me. I want to wake you up friend, so you don't have to suffer. Sanity: Neku [ 4/10 ] You tremble and back away. [ ] Turn on flashlight to observe door. [ ] Trace finger on the carved words.
I am doing well. How are you?
B-b-but it is Chuunibyou.
>> ◉ Continue on, slowly. Commands You keep moving forward. The darkness is sickening - as if it is a solid mass that exists all around you, filled with the thick mist and the strange waterfall noise that seems to grow louder and louder as you move further through the space. By this point, the party is silent. Not even Vivi is saying a word. They all seem terrified and frightened from the events that have taken place. Eventually you contact a wall directly in front of you. There seems to be a door, but the doorknob is missing. There also seem to be a few words carved into the door, at least you think - you cannot see them, and can only trace your finger on them. But before you do anything, you hear a lamentable sobbing coming from behind the door. Is it a good idea to really try anything with this door ... ? [ ] Turn on flashlight to observe door. [ ] Party sanity check. [ ] Trace finger on the carved words.

With the persistence of Wookiie shippers, I imagine that if KHV were ever an anime, the Wookiie shippers would rival other shippers in various fandoms and get into rabid tumblr wars. Seriously you lads and lasses.
Ah. I understand. Similar things have happened to myself. It is good that you are taking it relatively well, but like the others said we are all here to help cope if you need it! I am truly very sorry, it really is quite terrible.

Hellooooo.
>> ◉ Run into the hole with everyone else. Commands You look at the hole. The other party members seem to be jumping down into its dark, misty depths with a frightened speed. Misty grabs you by the sleeve and tries pulling you into the hole. She screams that there is no time, but is interrupted by one of the statues' horrific cries. You hear Saxima cry out for the party, but her voice becomes dampened by the mist. Misty pulls you down into the hole and you fall together. You are unable to hear Saxima's airy voice, or the wails of the statue, as you and Misty, holding onto your sleeve, descend further in the foggy blackness. The mist seems to press against your head, and you slowly become dazed. The wind grows louder in your ears. You hit the ground with a thud, with Misty falling on top of you. The mist has made you a bit lethargic, and has given you a headache, but Misty appears fine enough to get up with a huff. It is here you realize that the entire room seems to be completely dark and filled with an extremely thick, cloudy mist. A waterfall-like blurt of white noise emanates from it, as if the room were busy with chatting people. Sometimes you swear you hear words from these noises. You cannot tell anymore if this is simply your mind playing tricks on you. You are unable to see anyone or anything in the room right now. You reach out for Misty, but instead you hear a familiar voice: || Vivi || 「We- we were waiting for you, you stupid fresh meat! Do you think we can- we can dance around in the dark in a place like this?!」 You notice that Vivi's voice has lost a large amount of its confidence, and seems very shaken. You rise, but you cut a bit of your hand on a shard of glass. It probably dropped from the chandelier down into the hole. Your hand is now bleeding, and you may be leaving a trail. You surreptitiously add the glass shard to your inventory. It may come in handy later. inventory > flashlight [ 1 ] > glass shard [ 1 ] Choose [ 1 ]: [ ] Turn on your light source. You can escape more easily with it. [ ] It is better to go in the dark. The statues and creatures will not find you. - - - Choose [ 1 ]: [ ] Saxima. [ ] Talk to Vivi about the true nature of this house. [ ] Ask the party about them hearing words in the loud noise. [ ] Party sanity check. [ ] Observe your surroundings.
>> ◉ Use the matches to burn the statue. || You have to act fast. You lay down Saxima, careful that she does not cut herself on the glass of the chandelier. You spread your legs apart and whip out the matchbox. The statue begins its attack, and you start hearing a steadily growing buzzing in your ears. The statue lunges towards you. But with what sense you have left, you strike a match on the side of the box. It erupts into a lively, amber flame, and the statue dives directly into it. The fire spreads throughout the statue, and you hear the laughs and growls turn into sickening, tortured screams. You turn your back to the flame, and pick up Saxima. Spoiler But the screams do not stop. You then realize that you have been hearing these sickening, tortured screams all along. They simply became louder. The buzzing in your ears also does not stop. Saxima remains unconscious. You turn around, back to the flame, and see the statue intact and without marks. It is emitting the buzzing, not the scream. But where is the scream coming from? As your mind becomes clearer from the shock and daze of your failed attack, you connect the screams with individual words. They sound like the wind-like whispers. Your all-too familiar friends that have haunted you through the mist of the house. The whispers that grow louder and louder into screams; grow louder and louder into words and sentences and finally things that you think you can understand but you do not even know anymore because your mind is slowly crumbling apart. escape THE house MIST will kill will kill DAMPENS all souls that dare to go to go stop escape house your fears YOUR will your fear fear die will die all stop escape thought escape escape mind heed no light no window no FIRES no death no hell escape stop die die die escape thought keep die no life no POWER escape kill kill let the vengeance let die escape escape let But it is too late before you realize the statue has dawned upon you two once again. The buzzing grows louder. Your ears bleed. Your vision becomes blurry, and the statue's buzzing shakes the bones and sinews of your body as you fall to the glass on the ground. Your very own mind begins to collapse under the weight of its own fears, as these thoughts engulf the rest of your soul. You are unable to escape the shadows of this gripping fear. You are unable to have any respite, as your senses have failed you. And all you can do is hear the wind that never escapes, as you slowly condense into nothingness, and become one with the wind. bad end: whispers of the damned : [ o ][ ] Start from last save[ ] Start from beginning
>> ◉ Start from last save.CommandsKrowley takes a deep breath and steps in to help. Quiet, yet dependable, he steps up onto the first platforms and hoists Neku up by his legs. Neku wastes no time opening up the matchbox. He brings one match to the side of the box and swiftly drags the top along the rough surface. With a quiet hiss, the tip bursts into a vivid flame.|| Neku ||「YES!!! I THINK I have got a good FLAME going here! I was a little WORRIED at first because of all of this MIST, but I THINK I can light this thing now! Oh, guys, this reminds me of my LAST BIRTHDAY PARTY. They bought me some of those FAKE CANDLES that would NOT BLOW OUT--no joke! No matter how hard I tried, I just COULD NOT blow them out. My FAMILY thought it was funny but I WAS A LITTLE ANNOYED--」Neku suddenly yelps as the flame goes out against his finger tips. He flicks the wasted match away into one of the holes and lights another. You're eyes widen in disbelief as he, despite various members of your group shouting at him to focus, continues to ramble on. He wastes8/10 of your matchsticks. You want to cry.Krowley quietly lowers Neku before he can light another match, taking the matchbox away from him calmly and stepping onto the final and highest statue himself. With his height, he manages to bring the 9th match up to the first candle. The chandelier lights. The flame is rapid, forming a full circle all around and lighting the room dimly.You turn off your flashlight now that it's unneeded. Krowley steps down from the statues and brushes some dust off of his shoulder.|| Misty||「It doesn't seem like anything has changed?」You begin to think you shouldn't have trusted Vivi. The room remains the same for a few moments longer. ...And then you hear it. A loud, high pitched, deafeningSCREEEEEEEEEECH, followed by an insane laughter. Saxima begins to whimper and tremble. You yourself feel your breath catch in your throat. What in the world? Even Krowley seems more alert than usual. You all move close to one another as the room begins to rattle violently. Dust tumbles down from the ceiling and you cover your head instinctively.A heavy, grating sound turns your attention back to the statues. It seems their heads have reappeared somehow. The display is frightening; hazy stone faces with dead black eyes set right on you. You stumble back in horror and their faces twist and contort, the stone dragging against the flooring and inching close and close to you.|| Vivi ||「What the hell!? What is this?」Saxima is frozen and for once, Neku is dead silent. Misty's eyes are wide as she struggles to find some sort of logical explanation. The closer they get, the more desperate you feel. What can you do? Throw your flashlight? Maybe this is a nightmare? Should you blow out the candles? They can't possibly hurt you, can they?The air becomes thicker and then a loud CRASH rips your attention back to the chandelier--or, where it used to be. You watch as it falls straight down like a bolder into water, crashing loudly into the floor beneath you. The statues continue to inch closer. The closer they get, the weaker you begin to feel--almost as if something is being drawn from you. Your essence--your soul. Their heads twitch and spin madly. The floorboards give out beneath the chandelier and a thick white mist bubbles up like smoke from the gaping hole. You feel nauseous.|| Misty ||「WE HAVE TO GO, NOW! THERE'S NO TIME, THIS ISN'T GOOD!」For once, you all agree. Neku runs back towards the entrance, but it's locked. The only other option is the hole. You all hastily make your way towards the leaking center of the foyer. On the way there, Saxima collapses. She was closest to the statues. They laugh sharply--a demonic sound piercing through your skull. Everyone else keeps moving. The statues inch nearer... [ ] Run with everyone else into the hole. Sorry, Saxima.[ ] Go back for Saxima and then escape through the hole.
Oh, the save file would start from before the choice of rescuing Saxima. Apologies for the confusion.
This is a huge relief. Thank goodness you are doing well, sir. You are in all of our wishes for a quick return! And thank you, Maka, for being a wonderful friend. (You can come out of hiding now, Chev)
i. My Halloween was imaginary.
