Surei Pu'uwai-Lefay 8/13 near Recollé

Hello everyone! This is Sorey. It's been a while since I made a post, but I wanted to go over a few things related to the spirits residing in Recollé. Last year, I invited people on the app to come out to some weird places that had rumors of supernatural activity. It started out as kind of a hobby, but since I can actually see spirits, it's become more important. The ghosts, shades, spirits-- whatever you want to call them-- are linked to this city just like we are. They notice the weird things that happen too. That's why it's more important than ever to bridge the gap and learn what we can. This is where you guys come in! On 8/25, I'll be taking a group of people to a place that has a reputation of being spiritually active. I scouted the place several times and I can say it's fairly safe. As before, I'll be messaging the address to people who are interested. If you plan on coming: - Bring a flashlight and a fully-charged phone. - Skeptics welcome as long as you're not disruptive. - Last but not least: respect the spirits. They react directly to how you approach them. It's okay to be scared, that's normal, but please don't be aggressive. This is a peaceful and hopefully informative trip into their territory. If you want to see the encounters we've had previously, I have a report here. The report only covers actual expeditions and not what I've experienced by myself or in smaller groups. Remember: the only difference between doing science and fooling around is writing it down.

[ooc: You can find OOC signups for ghost hunting here!]

Um, I'd like to come, if that's alright. Though I really don't have much experience in the way of ghosts...

[openhanded]

That's great! You don't need experience, just an open mind.

[fiddlestick]

Haha, pretty sure you can't last long on this app WITHOUT getting an open mind. In others, I definitely have one.

[openhanded]

Can't disagree there. Denying the truth only makes it harder for yourself in the end. [That's kind of how malevolence begins.]

[angealwings]

Aside from the ghosts themselves, how much trouble do you get into physically on such expeditions?

[ Because that was not mentioned in the reports... ]

[openhanded]

That time we all blacked out at once was the first time we've been close to violence on these trips. With that in mind, I've started carrying my ceremonial sword with me. I won't brandish it unless it's necessary.

[angealwings]

I see. Well, I've also got a sword and a habit of not overusing it. More of a combat one than ceremonial, though.

[openhanded]

You don't think that'll scare the kids?

[matchbreaker]

Do those little hell-raiser ones ever show up, because I've gotten in the habit of smacking those around when I can, I confess.

Though I'd love to join to see the more normal ghosts!

[openhanded]

I didn't see many of the tricksters when I went the other night. It's on the outskirts of the city, so there's less people to bother, I guess. Or maybe the real ones are pushing them out.

We'll see what happens, but I'd still rather avoid violence. A stern enough look might do it.

[matchbreaker]

Don't worry, don't worry, I don't jump the gun that much.

Anyway I'd love to venture out this time!

[openhanded]

I know you don't! Though part of me would be really amused if you managed to mom-stare a prankster back where it came from.

You can still see in the dark, right? It might be better to put you ahead of the group so the flashlights don't hurt your eyes.

[destiny_key]

i wanna come!!!
i havent gotten to go ghost hunting with you in forever!!!

[openhanded]

It's been way too long, but I feel like that's kind of expected with how things have been the past few months.

Anyway, it's not like I'd leave my lil bro at home when I could have every chance to drag you along on something.

[keystaff]

I know I wasn't really much help last time but. If you need more people. I'd like to try again.

[openhanded]

It's not about being helpful or anything like that-- not even I could do anything last time! If you want to learn more about the history of Recollé and see if anything was left behind, then that's what matters.

[keystaff]

We have to learn more. To figure this out. Maybe they remember things we haven't figured yet, right? That might be important! So. I want to help.

[openhanded]

And I'm glad to have your help!

I can tell you right now that they remember things a little differently than we do. It makes me wonder how much Retrospec changed this town.

[cardcaptured]

I wouldn't mind coming, if that's alright with you. Some of the stuff in the reports has me interested, especially after what we saw in Respatrum.

[.............. and also Sakura is volunteering and thus his Protective Instincts are kicking in, so there's that, too.]

[openhanded]

As far as I'm concerned, you've got some experience with spirits too. It'll be good to have you along!

[cardcaptured]

I don't know if I could call it experience, but...

These excursions. They're usually safe, right? I saw in the last report that everyone passed out during it, but... that's not a common occurrence, is it?

[openhanded]

That was the only time, and everyone was unharmed when that happened. I'm sure it was just a warning. I've visited the graveyard since then and I didn't encounter anything like that.

It's possible it had something to do with the time of the year (it was close to Halloween) as well as the size of the group.

[unlightmusic]

i'll go. u cool with video or audio recording stuff? my brothers cant make it, and i dont want them to miss out...

[openhanded]

Great to have you! I know from experience that cameras won't pick up on spirits, we've tried before. But the place itself is great if you're an abandoned places enthusiast.

[unlightmusic]

mmmmm... then just an audio recorder? would that be ok?
im not rly lookin to capture apparations or EVPs or anything
ghosts r pretty damn different from UMAs after all ^^;;;
i just want to narrate a play by play of what im seeing for my brothers
OH
i'd try to be discreet ofc
my friends tell me im too loud sometimes
but i can be quiet when i want to!!
