THE PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

Very little in this town is what someone would call normal. Strange things happen everywhere you go, especially during the night time. Before you begin RPing, you need to know what might happen during your threads.

1. Memories

Around Tartarus, there are ghost-like creatures that no one likes to come in contact with. The reason for this is because they have the ability to see into a person's mind. This results in them knowing all of the person's memories; they will know everything that person has ever been through and everything that they have dreamed of. The creatures then share this information with the others of its kind around them. What the ghosts then do is pick a memory and allow themselves to transform into the people in that memory. They will then act out that memory exactly as it had happened. This means that everyone in the area will witness the memory that is being played out.

For example. Let's say that there is a character named Jim and Jim watched his older brother get stabbed through the stomach with a knife. One ghost will take the appearance of the older brother and another ghost will look like the attacker with the knife. The two ghosts will play out exactly what had happened that day. They will make the same movements, say the same things and show the same emotions. Not only will Jim have to witness this all over again, but his peers will now know exactly what he had seen that day. Usually, the memories shown are those you don't want anyone to ever know about.

These creatures are for you to control because you know your character's memories and the admins do not. Keep in mind that what they act out is one hundred percent ACCURATE. So once you have RPed the memory, there is no changing it or saying they forgot part. What you make the ghosts do the first time is what happened.

2. Monster

In the forest lives the monster. Or is there really just one? You never find them in packs, so it is easily mistaken that there is only one of them. Very little is known about these monsters yet. Most people don't even know what they look like because, by the time you see them, it usually means you aren't going to live to warn others. The appearance of the monsters will be released at a later date. What is known is that they live in the forests and going anywhere past the treeline, especially at nightfall, is suicide. The monsters are never seen in the day.

The admins control the monsters. You may not spot on in your thread unless the admins post in your thread as the monster. You may not say you have spotted the monster before unless you are a past survivor or actually had the admin in your thread playing one. Any thread taking place at night, whether it is open to others or not, is at risk of being invaded by a monster, even if you don't want it to be.

3. Mourning Rain

When one of the monsters is killed, it rains all day and all night. For an entire twenty-four hours before it stops. But this rain isn't made from water; it is a black, sticky ink that will later be washed away by the real rain. They call it the Mourning Rain because it falls only when the monsters die. The Mourning Rain is not poisonous. The forests and gardens soak the black substance up as if it were just water. It is possible to drink the rain, though it is sticky like ink. Unfortunately, it doesn't taste like rain water and the taste is a lot closer to that of blood. The rumors say that the black rain is the blood of monster that was killed that day.

The staff will make an announcement when a monster dies so that you will know when you can have a thread during the Mourning Rain. Until then, you may not have Mourning Rain in your threads.
