[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! ))

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!

[whiterosefoes]

[Well since he's not trying to punish her YET, Harriet leans back and crosses her arms.]

It's what I said from the beginning, isn't it? That outfit suits Ryou. So of course it looks good.

[fluffydeathdealer]

...

[That's simultaneously a compliment and an insult, as far as he's concerned.]

Tch... Maybe I should start wearing normal shirts again.

[Even though they were kind of annoying, if they were open enough they were fine. And he doesn't really like being compared too much to his host.]

[whiterosefoes]

[He's quite simply barking up the wrong tree if he doesn't want to be compared to Ryou. She will always see him when she looks at him... and a little of Jack, too. Her eyebrows raise, but she stays in the same pose otherwise.]

No, you should wear what you like. It doesn't matter what I think, does it?

[...If it does... what does that mean?]

[fluffydeathdealer]

...it's not that.

[He tucks his hands into his pockets, looking away irritably.]

Appearances don't mean shit to me. If they did, I'd have gone back to my old body once he turned up here.

[whiterosefoes]

... Then why ask at all?

[This is really awkward. She's starting to feel bad for what she said, even though she thinks she shouldn't.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

...I was curious.

[Part of him really hates this body. It's the closest to his own in appearance and feeling, and the one he feels most comfortable with... but it's still not his. It's weak and fragile, and having to share it annoys him. But even his actual body isn't his. It doesn't fit. It's irritating.

But he's not going to admit that.]

Not everything has to have some deeper meaning, you know. Most things come down to the most entertaining option to me.
