(Straight over from another dorm came a neko who moved fast like a bullet. She had shouted an idea back in Lina's room that would aid their plan for freaking people in AHS out, and then dashed off towards here, House Suzaku. Som knew exactly what she was looking for here. She ran up the stairs to the top floor and...froze. The top floor was really haunted, and this room was the most potent. It was Jake's room...)

Som: Oh man...and d- Jake isn't even in right now.

Lina followed Som, feeling only minorly guilty about venturing into a Dorm House where she technically wasn't allowed. She figured it was a fairly minor rule and besides -- she was new enough that she could likely plead ignorance if a teacher decided to make an issue of it. Besides, she had followed Som, who obviously knew someone in these dorms. Which was almost like getting invited by someone who did live there. It made an odd sort of sense, at least in Lina's head.
"Who's Jake?" She felt slightly stupid for asking, since he was obviously the occupant of the room Som had barged into.
"Friend of yours?"

"Who's Jake? Friend of yours?"

Som: Uhhh....yeah!

(Funny... Why was she looking nervous all of a sudden? Was it because she knew this room was especially haunted? Or was it....something else? Som had no qualms for coming here. She did it all the time. But...when Jake wasn't around...there was no protection from anything that kept an eye on his room.)

Som: Jake's the one that made the Sound Box. His room's...really haunted, but there's some stuff in there we can use.

Lina glanced around the room somewhat skeptically. Despite what Som had said, it certainly didn't look haunted at all. Lina had, like every person, rather firm idea about what a haunted locale should look like, and this didn't seem to fit the bill. She decided, however, to let it pass.
"What's he got?"
She had that mischieious grin again. Anyone capable of producing something along the lines of that box was likely capable of producing all sorts of cool junk. It made Lina slightly giddy just thinking about it.

"What's he got?"

Som: Well, amongst other things, Jake's got an actor's auto-biography called "If Chins Could Kill". It's got a recipe for fake blood in it. Also, there may be another book...but we don't want that one.

(As Som checked to see if the door was open, she thought about the two books. One was the bio, covering everything in the acting career of Bruce Campbell. The other was a flesh-bound tome of evil with its pages written in blood and its necromancy horrible. Som pushed hard on the door and it busted open on its own. A hollow and demonic voice followed...)

"JOIN US..."

Som: Jake's not in, and nobody's shut up the demon spirits. Great...

"Jake's not in, and nobody's shut up the demon spirits. Great..."

Lina raised an eyebrow, slightly skeptical after being spooked by Som twice. She would be the first to admit that she had a hideously overactive imagination, but she wasn't completely gullible.
"Another sound box?"
She paused, her brain suddenly latching onto the fact that Som had been in her sight since they left the her dorm.
"What, seriously? Demons?"

OOC: And now, to take a cue from Evil Dead: Regeneration...

IC>>>>>

"What, seriously? Demons?"

Som: Ah, well...yeah... They are demons, but they don't have any bodies right now, so...they can't really do much. They were brought here because of the other book that Jake has, the Book of the Dead. It's okay, though. We'll be fine.

(Som took a step into the room and the door slammed shut in her face, hurting her nose. She covered it with her hand, stepping away from the door.)

Som: OW!

Wah-ha ha ha-ha ha-ha-haaa!

(The door waggled back and forth now, laughing at her in a high voice. Som shook her head in disgust. They were like kids, sometimes... She kicked the door several times before it stopped swinging back at her. Then, she looked over at the bookcase and...)

Som: Dammit! It's not here! Not the Necronomicon OR the the biography!

WE HAVE YOUR PRECIOUS BOOK NOW!!

Som: Which one?

UHHH...THE BIOGRAPHY.

Som: Jake must have the Necronomicon with him. Give us the damn book!

YOU'LL HAVE TO FIND IT!!

(The interior of Jake's room was, currently, foggy and cluttered. There were piles of stuff here that were not all entirely safe to touch. Also, Som knew that those pesky demons would cause trouble in finding this book.)

Lina nodded as she listened to Som's explaination, and watched the exchanges with the door and the disembodied voices, waiting for something just a little more... demonic to happen.
"So they can slam doors and hide books," Lina said, stepping into the room after Som. "Possibley the most pathetic demons I've heard of."
She glanced around the room, wondering where all the fog came from and then deciding that it might be best not to know.
"I'll assume there's stuff in here that might actually be dangerous, despite that display by the Slimer wannabes," she said.

"I'll assume there's stuff in here that might actually be dangerous, despite that display by the Slimer wannabes."

Som: Ummm...

(The catgirl was suddenly wary of something being terribly wrong here. Her ears were perked straight up and she was looking around nervously. Suddenly, the door slammed shut and warped itself into a solid-oak door that was apparently stuck in the woodwork of the doorway. Then, the room began to stretch itself, as if it were becoming something more expansive...which it was. How long had Jake been out?)

Som: Did you have to say that?

(Just then, she heard something moving nearby. It was near the desk where Jake's computer stood. Som yelped when she saw something jump upon that desk. It was... It was... Som blinked. It was a cat, a bulky-looking gray tabby with stripes. It sat by the computer as the machine hummed to life.)

Som: Jake didn't tell me he had a cat.

(She started to inch towards it as the cat began to paw the keyboard methodically. Som took one look at it and backed off quickly, re-asserted in her fear. The screen read this...)

killyoumurderdeathfeedbrainsfleshswallowsoulsburnpain...

(The cat suddenly looked over at them with an unearthly hiss, its eyes glowing and an ethereal energy of the dead rising from its body. This feline was not among the living. That's why Jake didn't mention a cat. He also didn't mention a ferret, which he also had at one time, but did not mention it was dead either. The ferret, however, announced itself when it shot out of a pile of garbage, looking equally possessed. Its teeth looked positively rancid. Both of the small mammals began to arch their bodies in anger, their necromantic energies churning as the hiss from the cat took on a rather unnatural tone...)

Lina felt her stomach drop out as the door slammed shut.
"Did you have to say that?"
"Um... oops?"
She shoved at the door futiley.
"Jake didn't tell me he had a cat."
She turned around in time to see Som backing away from the possesed cat, soon joined by what looked like a ferret.

"I thought they couldn't do anything!"

Som: I thought they didn't have any bodies to work with!

(But even Jake had forgotten about the fact that his pets had gone 'missing', since other things in his life had cropped up every now and then. It's hard to deal with little demon problems when you're a half-demon elemental on the go. Ironically, Jake was currently on a quest to solve this very problem, but he would be out for a while... The cat leapt at Som, belly first, and impacted her head, knocking her over. After that, the cat jumped off of her to bring claws to bear at Lina while the ferret zoomed for Som, teeth gnashing. Fortunately, the ferret was physically weak and smacked away as Som backhanded it.)

"I thought they didn't have any bodies to work with!"
"Oh-"
Lina was cut cut off as the cat-zombie barreled into Som and then spun around at her. Something at the back of her head gave way with a soft snapping sound, sending her plummeting into the depths of ailurophobia. Ancient, primal instincts of fight-or-flight took over, without any visible option for 'flight'.
"Kyaaaaah!" He foot instinctively flew out in a sneaker-encased kick at the zombie cat.

*WHAP!*

(Both a large cat and a junky ferret went flying, both off in different directions. The ferret landed in a pile of junk and the cat hit the computer screen, breaking it. It was the first to recover, arching its back again. Normal cats spew hairballs. Possessed people have projectile vomit. Possessed cats spit up ethereal energy balls that cause intense pain. The cat began to spit them at Som and Lina, but the young catgirl was hella-agile.)

Som: Ah, come on, Nine-Lives! You can to better than that!

(But the real question was...could THEY do better, like...destroy it? And what was that ferret up to?)

Lina yelped again as the cat started spewing energy balls at them. She hit the floor, and somehow managed to avoid the barrage.
What she did next was probably not the smartest thing in her situation. She blindly grabbed the nearest thing she could reach and threw it at the zombie-cat. Rationality might have dictated that she at least look at what it was she had grabbed to make sure it wasn't going to explode, or bite her arm off, or something along those lines. But she was being faced by a cat. A possessed cat. That was firing demonic hairballs at her. Rationality had, metaphorically, popped off for a quick drink at the local bar.

(So, she had grabbed whatever was handy..)

"SQUEEEEK!!"

(...which was the ferret, trying to sneak up on her. Then she threw it at the cat...)

"Squeeeeeee-URF!"

(...which landed in the cat's mouth and was unceremoniously swallowed.)

"BURRRP!!"

(The ferret was eaten without delay. The demon inside of it merged with the cat and the cat began to grow...into a larger demonic cat that fell off of the desk for being too large. It stood there, grinning like an evil undead Cheshire Cat, and charged Som. Som, however, was already up and get for this. She took jumped up and sprang down both feet to hit the cat in the head and spring off quickly.)

Som: How do you like it?

Lina's brain, still gripped by her ailurophobia, managed to grab hold of one fact. The cat was getting bigger. The manic fighting instinct that had caused her to throw the ferret went into overdrive. She ran forawrd and join Som in stomping on the demonic feline.

OOC: What's ailurophobia?

IC>>>>

"Diediediediediediediedie-"

*STOMP! STOMP! STOMP! STOMP! STOMP! STOMP!*

(The cat was large and being stomped upon, but it didn't seem to be taking much damage from this. Actually, Lina appeared to just be giving it a backache. Fortunately, the Deadite-cat was also quite pinned down, unable to move anywhere. This was when Som sprang into action. Jake was a nut for weapons. He had alot of knives and swords in his room, on a rack. Curiously, none of the swords were there except for his claymore. The really-long sword was pulled out and...Som was strangely able to lift it properly. Then, she ran over to the cat, jumped, swung the sword down, and split its head wide open...which killed it.)

Som: Yeah! Hail to the king, baby!

OOC: You know I had to stick that in somewhere.

((OOC: Ailurophobia = fear of cats ))
As the demonic cat collapsed back into death, Lina leaned back against the door, one of her eyes twitching slightly.
"I retract," she said. "My previous statement regarding the demons and any resemblance to Slimer."

(Som wiped her forehead in a "Phew!" kind of manner, letting the claymore go. The dead cat-creature didn't move and its brain seemed to gurgle, which was a good sign if you wanted it to stay dead. However, as Lina spoke to her about the demons, Som thought she saw movement again. What was happening this time?)

Som: Ummm...Lina? Do you have any exploding powers? I think we might need 'em.

(The jumk in the room was starting to move on its own accord. It might do anything at this stage, even hit them with a tidal wave of dirty socks! Som picked up the claymore again, surprised by the fact that {A} it wasn't moving on its own accord and {B} that it was heavier than it looked.)

"Ummm...Lina? Do you have any exploding powers? I think we might need 'em."
"Er..." Lina looked at her hands blankly for a moment, willing some spark of power to appear. "Um... Hadoken!"
She sweatdropped, hands out in an anime-style, energy blast pose. Nothing, obviously, had happened.
"Apparently not..."
She glanced around, looking for something that would make a useable weapon.
"My kingdom for a proton pack," she muttered under her breath.

Som: Then we're in trouble.

(The junk was forming into something that was half-humanoid that seemed to slither across the ground like a blob-thing, except that it was really dirty clothing down there. The figure was looming, thought without legs. The demons in this room were really getting mean!)

JOIN US...

Som: I'm already part of a club! But hey! How about a SWORD!

(Okay, Lina's Hadoken gag had reminded Som of the online comic, 8-Bit Theater, and made her think of the funny evil Black Mage. Now, wielding a heavy claymore, she was pulling a Fighter... She jumped high up and swung the sword into the monster's 'head', splitting it and its body down the middle!)

Som: Yeah!

(And then it reformed.)

Som: Shit...

(The monster smacked her away with one of its arms, the claymore just sticking out of it. Meanwhile, the demons were playing a really dirty trick on Lina. The floorboards were twisting up and trying to hit her in the face! Also...the door was pounding. Wait a second... That could be a good thing!)

"Nyah!" Her hands flew up, blocking a few of the floorboards, leaving a stinging sensation on her forearms.
"Um, stay back! I know kung-fu!" She made a few chops in the air at the offending floor boards. Another one flew up and smacked at her, leaving another stining spot on her forearm.
"Dangit."

"Um, stay back! I know kung-fu!"

Som: I don't!

(The young catgirl ran headlong into the mass of stuff and rammed a hole through it, quite uselessly though. The beast, naturally, reformed without issue and threw Som across the room. However...)

Som: I got it!

(She had the book! The Bruce Campbell book was in her hands! Excellent! Now...how do they get out of here, exactly? Well, the pounding on the door continued, and then...)

"Oh, the hell with this..."

BAM!!

(A large sword, about seven feet in length, plunged its way through the door as it was thrown right through it by a significantly strong force. The sword sailed across the room, past Lina's head without hurting her, and pinned itself on the opposite wall. Som knew that sword, but she wasn't sure whether they were saved or screwed. The sillouette at the door suggested a feminine warrior's body, and the cat-ears suggested a neko. In other words, there was a neko at the door who obviously knew Jake here, who obviously stayed here with him, standing at the door to his room...which they didn't belong in!)

Lina let out a small squeak as the massive, Final-Fantasy-sized blade shot past her head and buried itself in the wall. She turned and saw the powerful, pointy-eared figure silhouetted in the door frame.
She wasn't sure whether to rejoice or cower in fear. It was exceedingly hard to read any sort of expression or emotion off a completely shadowed figure.

"Um... hi?"

"Hello. I see you're here uninvited. Otherwise, the spirits might've left you alone."

(There was an audible sigh of annoyance from the form in the doorway. She was clearly not in the mood for this, but it was something that had to be dealt with. All activity had ceased when she had broken in. Even the pile of junk had halted itself. She now stepped in, revealing herself as an adult-sized neko with long dark-blue hair. She was wearing casual clothing, and appeared to have come back from some sort of training exercise. Som knew this person, knew her very well. Though Jake wasn't in, the younger catgirl figured that she was. This was Marina Bluemoon, Jake's girlfriend/fiance'. Marina caught Som's eye just then.)

Marina: You're here too, huh? Here, just a minute.

(Closing her eyes, Marina concentrated on her power and scent some of it spiralling outward from her. It had no effect on Lina or Som, just the room, which suddenly looked cleaner and non-haunted. The door was still quite totaled and Marina's warblade was still embedded in the far wall. Also, the dead cat remained dead and laying there.)

Marina: I really need to get Jake to banish those things for good. Okay, what are you two doing here? What were you looking for?

Som: Found it already.

(She holds up the book titled If Chins Could Kill, which has a picture of Bruce Campbell's big-chinned face on it. Marina screwed up her eyes looking at it, shooting Som a questioning glance.)

Som: It's got a recipe for fake blood.

Marina: Because shedding real blood wasn't enough?

(She was referring to the dead cat-monster with the split-open head.)

Som: Ummm...sorry?

Marina: Jake told me he had a cat in here once. I guess we found out what happened to it.

"The cat was like that when we got here," Lina said, feeling the need to cintribute something. "Dead, anyway."
She shivered slightly, looking at the cat's remains. The cat still gave her the willies -- partially from the gore, partially from her ailurophobia, and partially from still-fresh memories of the thing firing the undead equivalent of hairballs at her.
"The demons attacking like that was partially my fault," she said. "I'm sorry..."

Marina: They like to attack anybody that doesn't belong here. Listen, I'll deal with this mess. You two...just get out.

Som: Thanks alot, uhhh...Marina.

(Funny little pause in her sentence... Anyway, Som left the room quickly, clutching the book carefully as she went down the hallway, her laughter turning maniacal, as in "Mwa ha ha ha ha ha haaa!!!" and so on. Clearly, she wasn't too sorry, because now she had the ingredients...for blood!)

IC>>>

"Does that sort of thing happen a lot around here?"

Som: Not THAT sort of thing. Just a bunch of things. Hmmm... Aha! Page 108! "Low-Budget Fake Blood"! Have...a...look!

(The entry was on a little 'cut out picture', and went something like this...)

FAKE BLOOD

So, you're making a low-budget horror film and you need gallons and gallons of fake blood? Then this is the recipe for you!

INGREDIENTS (coats two thespians)
6 pints clear Karo Syrup
3 pints red food coloring
1 pint non-dairy creamer
1 drop blue food coloring


EQUIPMENT
Large ceramic bowl
Medium sized bowl
Spoon
Cleaning products



1. The Karo Syrup is your foundation, the base of your blood. Pour syrup into large ceramic bowl.
2. In the medium bowl, stir the non-dairy creamer until it turns into a nice paste. This will improve opacity.
3. Gradually fold the non-dairy paste into the syrup.
4. Stir in red food coloring. Add drop of blue food coloring for density.
5. Test on white surface.
6. Coat aspiring actor from top down.
7. To remove, place actor in hot shower, fully clothed, and let sit for 30 minutes or until clean.



CAUTION: Do not attempt to scare members of your family who have heart conditions - this blood looks real!

(Afterwhich, she hefted the book away and started to think of where they were gonna get all this stuff... Fortunately, Jake's room did not occur to mind. Nay, it went far from her mind, especially while....nevermind.)

Lina looked over Som's shoulder, reading the passage about the fake blood.
"Where are we going to get this stuff?"
Lina knew she didn't have anything like the things listed as blood ingredients, and she hadn't brought a lot of money with her. Besides, she had no idea if there was any place on campus that even sold anything like Karo syrup and food coloring.
There were a lot of malls in Domino, she knew. Maybe there would be some there.

(She was right about that, of course. People have GOT to have the rightto make crappy movies. Of course, that wasn't what THEY wanted. What they wanted was the right to make spooky business happen. Som headed downstairs, book in hand, taking a glance over her shoulder every couple of minutes to make sure that Marina wasn't around. That was when she pulled out the wallet. It was Jake's. She'd snagged it from the monster as well as the book.)

Som: Call it an investment on my allowance. Let's go to the mall!

"Ooh," Lina said. "Akihabara or Domino?"
She had heard, vaguely, of the malls in both locations, and was looking forward to doing a little exploring. The fact that she was buying ingredients for fake blood only served to enhance the experience.
"I've heard they've got a lot of cool shops at either place," she said.

(She dug into the pockets of her pants to pull out a coin suitable for decision-making. That is, she would let the fates decide. Heads, they would go to Domino. Tails, they would head off to Akihabara. Som flipped the coin and let it head the ground.)

Som: Huh. Looks like heads. Let's go to Domino.

(Som picked up the coin and replaced it into her pockets, not realizing that it was a trick double-headed coin. She then headed off, Lina obviously in tow.)

OOC: Continued in Domino!
