[EFFECT ROOM] whoops we left the background music on

[roadroller]

[After hanging around in this room, your character may find that their actions now come with their very own soundtrack! The music is all around and appears to be coming from nowhere. But it is definitely following you, and everyone in your midst can hear it. Also, the song may shift in tone depending on the atmosphere or mood of a situation!

As for how long it lasts - who knows? Maybe it'll be 20 minutes. Maybe it'll be the rest of their miserable life.]


(( in this post, incorporate the OST from your canon into your threads, especially your character's theme music! Though if your character is an OC or from a book or something, feel free to use a fst or create theme music on musicshake. -warning the link is addictive. Or you could just torment your characters with awful pop songs instead. y'know, whatever! ))

[This is weirding him out. It's like being in a videogame or something. What a pain...]

Tch... Being in this place is like being in a really weird penalty game.

[How is he supposed to be sneaky with music like this playing all the time?]

[whiterosefoes]

[well, as effects go, this one isn't that bad. She can roll with it.]

Really, I think it suits you. 'Specially that "oooh~" part. Quite ghostly.

[fluffydeathdealer]

...I guess it isn't that bad, but it could do with being creepier. It's hardly intimidating at all.

Though I guess it's better than yours.

[Snerk. Really, what the hell, building?]

[whiterosefoes]

Oh, well. Maybe one day you'll find someone who's deathly afraid of wind chimes.

[She grins, and absently wonders if she ought to take jabs at her new theme music personally. She decides not to.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

If they're afraid of wind chimes, they're clearly already insane. Someone like that would just be too easy to frighten.

[And please don't make him think this'll go on forever, how is he meant to obtain all of the Items when he's a walking mp3 player that's stuck on repeat?]

[whiterosefoes]

[Not that she cares if he gets the Items or not, but it wasn't a serious statement either way.]

You don't know that. Maybe a chime went off as they watched someone kill their parents.

[...and neither was that.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

Hahahahaha! What, talk about a lame-ass way to get a phobia!

[Bakura's heavily amused by this mental image.]

[whiterosefoes]

[Harriet chuckles in response.]

True. And I'm not sure how it'd happen in the first place...

[Aaand she's laughing about double murder with an ancient spirit. Whoops.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

It sounds like the origin story of some kind of bullshit superhero. Guy becomes vengeful after parents died, but can't handle wind chimes, so all the villains go about with them hanging on their clothes.

Heh. That would be the worst movie. It'd totally suck.

[Oh please, you humans and your morals and ethics...]

[whiterosefoes]

On their clothes? Like some sort of fringe jacket??

[Fuck it, she doesn't even care - she just straight up laughed.]

It would suck balls, but I'd watch it.

[fluffydeathdealer]

Hahaha! Why not?! As long as their movement creates the jingles, they can't be sneaky, but the enemy's also crippled. They can't lose! Unless the superhero randomly gets over his fear with the help of some encouragement from his plucky young sidekicks. But what's the chance of that?

[He's guessing 100%.]

[whiterosefoes]

Or maybe they just get Anti-Jingle Batman some bloody headphones.

... Of course they'd probably get stolen somehow and then he'd have to overcome it anyway.

[fluffydeathdealer]

Headphones are a bitch to keep on your head while fighting, though, aren't they? Earplugs might be better.

[whiterosefoes]

No, see, headphones look cooler on your superhero costume.

[fluffydeathdealer]

...hoh? You really think so? [He looks a little surprised.]

I guess it depends on the design. You wouldn't want to run around with Kuriboh headphones on. But even so, I've never thought of headphones as cool.

[whiterosefoes]

If it's some futuristic looking kind... but there's nothing cool about regular earplugs either. Either way it's a handicap, don't you think?

[fluffydeathdealer]

You can't usually see earplugs though. Especially if you have a hood on.

But I guess it's a 'hero' thing anyway. I can't really judge it. I've got more of a 'villain' style.

[He demonstrates by flaring out his long coat. He's really just wearing it at the moment to hide the bandage on his arm, but it is comfortable. Even if it doesn't look terribly villain-y over a striped shirt and jeans.]

[whiterosefoes]

...You do?

[Harriet tilts her head skeptically. The jacket maybe, but the rest...]

I assumed Ryou picked out most of that.

[fluffydeathdealer]

...

[POUT.]

You're kidding, right? Ryou's got such awful taste in clothing! He goes around in these really ugly sweaters that wouldn't look good in a million years. Have you ever tried to be intimidating in a pale yellow sweater?

A few months before coming here, I started to change up his wardrobe a bit. It's not really far from his usual style, but it's definitely more comfortable and less... embarrassing. And the coat's pretty cool.

[whiterosefoes]

Mostly I got that from the striped shirt... I mean, it's kind of childish. What villain were you going for, Pugsley Addams?

[fluffydeathdealer]

...who?

[Yo, ancient Egyptian spirit here. He doesn't watch movies so much. Too busy playing games.]

I like this shirt. What's so childish about it?

[whiterosefoes]

Well, Pugsley was a somewhat wicked child. And ... I suppose a lot of other child characters wear them, so that's why.

Oh, I suppose Freddy Krueger wore stripes, but he was also linked to children as a child killer... yea, it's kiddie no matter how you look at it.

[fluffydeathdealer]

...

I still like this shirt.

[Stupid child characters... how dare you try to ruin his awesome shirt?]

Childish or not, this ensemble looks good on me... Wouldn't you say?

[Don't you dare say no.]

[whiterosefoes]

[That question is punctuated with a glare of a thousand daggers. It's like he's a clingy girlfriend or something - oy, they don't have that kind of relationship!! Feeling the pressure, she takes a cautious step back. She has to consider her words very carefully...

> Yes
> No
>Snark]

... You're adorable.

[she's prepared to run if she has to.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

[Twitch.]

OI! Shut up! The only adorable one of us is Ryou!

[What sort of world is it when an ancient spirit with demonic powers gets called adorable?!]

You're not above being punished, you know!
