Arrival

Not all characters (known as Wickie, singular or Wickies, plural) arrive at the same time, surprisingly enough! That’s life for you. Some Wickies find their way to the island at a pivotal (or very mundane) point in their life, or even after or during their death.

Wickies who were standing or walking often find themselves entering the town South Sister, located on Lighthouse Isle, through an open doorway. Those that were laying down, or sleeping, tend to be found lying prone in beds, bathtubs, showers, couches, and similar places within the cottages on Cottage Row. There’s no rhyme or reason to it all! To Wickies familiar with the era, they will realize that everything looks as if it’s come from the ‘90s.

The house which a Wickie finds themselves within could already be occupied. This includes walking into a fellow Wicke, waking up in the same location, or accidentally scaring a room full of people with their sudden appearance.

Oops.

C-C-Changes

Thankfully the fog has gone down to what it was before, a slow creeping crawl over the ground. And too, the monsters of before are gone, leaving the town much like it was before. Well...close to what it was before.

For now the season's have changed, from a lingering summer to a cooler fall.

There’s new foods to try, even if some things like lattes cause people to slip into warm boots and tie up their hair, and soups make people curl up under blankets on the couch. And it also means decorations of all sorts, made of the leaves from the forest, orange, yellow and red things and...we can not forget...

Pumpkin overflow

Pumpkins! They're everywhere. Wickies will find pumpkins infused into all sorts of things, like coffee, ice cream, even spaghetti options! It's wild.

There’s also many jack o'lanterns. They have been placed everywhere in town, outside homes, and even small ones have been made into table decorations. The Jack o lanterns have very cheerful faces, and seem to watch Wickies every single move.

That is, until a Wickie bashes or otherwise abuses a pumpkin. That's when it changes- there seem to be more of them. Their expressions change to that of anger, sadness and disgust. None of them attack- yet. But their faces become more and more horrifying, as they follow the Wickie more and more- outside of the bathroom perhaps, or found on top of them as the Wickie wakes up in the middle of the night.

It shouldn't matter right? They're only pumpkins.

What a ride

Funny enough, with the pumpkin invasion, there also comes a dull colored horse wandering about the island. Its head is drooped, and it looks depressed and lonely. The horse is tame on approach and will accept pats and treats, even from those who are obviously not human.

But it also wants something, for all that it seems to be begging for attention. It wants someone to ride them, seems to even be begging for it with its big eyes. The horse will help Wickies to figure out how to mount; it will even stand beside the Town Center benches, rocks, or even go down in order to make it possible for the Wickie to get onto the horse’s back.

That’s when it changes. The Wickie is immediately wrapped in chains from their barrel to the Wickie’s waist. The horse turns a coal black and the Wickie’s clothing changes into that of a soldier's uniform, with a hand either holding a whip modeled after a human spine, or a jack o'lantern.

The Wickie cannot get off the horse on their own, no matter how much they struggle. As the horse moves throughout the town, they will go anywhere from a walk to a full canter, seemingly impervious to any magic or physical attacks. The same cannot be said for their unfortunate rider.

If the rider is hit, or simply in pain, the Wickie will feel an impulse that grows and grows until they scream a name of someone in town, someone they know.

And the named will drop, paralyzed. Paralyzed wickie are likely to die within minutes, more so if they are too close to horse and rider. The horse will happily trample anyone on the ground to death.

Even without the impulse, should the Wickie rider use anyone’s name, that person will drop, paralyzed, and unable to breathe.

There is only one way to possibly save the rider: scatter golden objects in their path. The horse will shriek, and promptly buck the rider off, before running away. Just make sure to catch the rider, or at least cushion their fall: they have no way of saving themselves until they hit the ground.

Heart game: confession

Current residents of the island may remember this particular beeping alert, and how it doesn’t go away, no matter what they do! That is, unless they open up the Heart Game, and answer the question.

Welcome back everyone! It’s so good to see you again! Now let’s play that game, Confession! And the question isssssss…

How do you celebrate the changing seasons! Don't be shy!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

......ok im sold

one thing tho

where are we gonna get the robots?
i mean im down but its not like we can just build them

who says we can't?

get me the parts and i'll build it myself. it's pretty simple if you have the right tools.

you
i like you
whats your name kid?

i mean i work on cars so p sure thatd be similar
so
if i find anything ill give you a heads up

you can call me flat! yep, like a 'flat' surface or like 'flat earth'.

and AWESOME you work on cars? i don't think i've actually seen someone working on them, but i've been on some really amazing american ones! do you restore them or modify them?

nero
flats a weird name but whatever you want works for me

yeah somewhat?
its not what i usually do but its a good way to pass the time
both tbh
you know the whole shindig
porque no los dos
had to work on the van so i could use her for work

woaaah

you should totally do something like that here!

i mean, it's a creepy town straight out of a horror video game, but it doesn't mean that it shouldn't have cool cars to sell, don't you think?

selling cars?
nah not my style
i mean i fix them but making stuff to sell
no way

besides
the van wasnt just for leisure
she was for business
had to stand up through all the shit nico and i would put her through
not to mention any demons we ran across

woah woah woah BACK UP

you fought DEMONS? and who's nico??? a sidekick???

still do yeah
im a devil hunter

if she ever heard you call her that shed kick your ass
shes basically the genius behind my arms and all that
smart as hell tbh

so YOU'RE the sidekick? or no, you're more like the brawns and she's the brain. together you make a well-oiled machine!

that's so cool... what's your coolest demon hunting story. go.

[Flat it is a good thing you cannot see or hear Nero atm because he is nearly pissing himself laughing. He'd like to think he has some smarts- Nico would absolutely say otherwise.]

yeah we make a p good team ig
if i find demon parts she can usually make a new weapon from them

oh boy
theres a lot
you want just one?

so home for me is actually an island
and its not a normal island
its actually shut off from the rest of the world
lots of medieval lifestyle there

anyway turns out theres been demon activity going on for ages
and after a bunch of bullshit going on i find out we have a huge fuckoff statue thats actually alive in the center of the island
this thing is big
its meant to basically rule the world or something
long story short
one of the bad guys couldnt accept losing to me
despite having all this demonic power
so he fused himself with the damn statue

wanted to take care of it tbh
so i mightve gone and grabbed its face and crushed it

[.......Nero you're telling a kid you literally picked up the face of a statue nearly 10x your height with your weirdass arm and crushed in its fucking face like it was nothing............]

wait SO you guys live isolated from the rest of the world??? different dimension kind of stuff?

have you ever been to the "real" world? how did you find out that it was isolated from the rest of the world anyways?

and ofc, ofc. you can never trust the giant statues. but fusing with one is way too much!! talk about inefficiency! lol imagine moving around with a whole statue as your body, you'd be breaking your bones with every movement. tbh you just put it out of its misery
