Hey everyone. Once again posting to say I am still alive, but having trouble keeping up with the game. Not going to drop just yet, since the game is slow enough to allow for my absence, I think? Not sure. Any opinions from anyone? Who is still here who I know?

I will as usual, be a bit scarce. Many apologies. Affecting Seth [personal profile] needahand and Jack Frost [personal profile] frostweaver.

drop

Hey guys, I've been thinking of this for a while, but I'm gonna be dropping Jigoku! I'll definitely still tag the halloween log but when the threads in that are done, I'll be leaving the game. Thanks for so much fun over these past few months! I've had some of my favourite CR and character development in Jigoku <3

Just to make things clear, The Once-ler, Yosuke, Visi, Viola, Sabitsuki and Double are going to be gone.

Weather, Ring Virus, and a SPOOKY EVENT

The air of the town is almost unbreathable these days, full of dust and foul odors. Let's hope you swiped a gas mask from the hardware store when you could, or there's no going out for you. Brief but heavy rainshowers will cleanse the air for an hour or two after they've stopped pouring, but the thick air and vile scents will ooze back in slowly but surely.

At precisely 3PM, Sabitsuki and Urotsuki will suffer fatal heart attacks and die. They did not send on the Ring video, and so the virus killed them. Possession will take place approximately four hours after their death. Madotsuki, however, will be fine, as she passed her video on to Seth Auralia. He will receive the video at 3PM.

Meanwhile, the residents may begin noticing that extremely SPOOKY decorations have been appearing all over the apartments, and in various stores they have to go to outside! They are far from the normal décor of the apartments, and seem to be full of Halloween cheer. Furthermore, everyone will be getting an invitation in their letterbox! This invitation comes from Jigoku's very own Jorogumo, who is enjoying the kitschy decorations of commercial halloween and is deciding to throw her very own kaso pati, or costume party. The celebrations will begin on October 31st, but set up will have to occur from the 28th until that time. She highly suggests that you come to the Love Hotel to get your costumes, as the apartments will be filling up with some guests who might be a little violent towards those who don't wear what she's set out for them. Furthermore, those who don't leave the apartments will find that their computer screens with display mojibake, or garbled characters.

On the 28th, the apartments will become choked with violent ghosts. Residents must wear the costumes given to them by the Jorogumo to avoid being attacked, chased, and possibly killed. Of course, when you collect your costumes, she'll be taking that as your agreement to help her out with her party! There are three different groups of things that she needs to get, so naturally she will be splitting everyone from the apartments into groups of three to find them. list )
Characters who do not take part will find themselves stuck in the Jorogumo's webs at the end of the celebration. The party will take place on the 31st of October. Do take care to show your faces...

There will be a big log put up with various comment threads that people should tag into soon. Despite there being IC dates, feel free to tag in OOCly whenever you want! For reasons of the plot however, anyone who takes longer than a month to tag in will be considered not showing up and therefore food for the Jorogumo.

I know this is a slow game, but I figured I better throw up a 'sorry I've not been around, I'm super busy working' type post! So ~ sorry I've not been around, I'm super busy working! I'm not gone but it may take me a fair while to get to tags. Thank you for all being patient! ♥

attention carnivale goers!

The cork gun game has FOUR shiba inu pups to give away as consolation prizes, while the hook-a-duck game has four kittens. Go to hook up a duck and your prize will bat away your pole with its tiny little paws.

You won't get your red tape, but you will get a pet. Have fun raising it in this hell hole!

carnivale

It's the end of summer. The close, muggy heat has given way to the chill winds of early marching autumn. Who knows if that's a relief or not. But the changing of the season has seemed to herald one thing for the ghost town.

Music. It'll filter from outside. Sometimes it'll be upbeat and bouncy. Sometimes it'll be discordant and strange. But it'll get louder and louder until the noise is almost overwhelming in the apartments, causing residents to spill out into the street to get away from it.

Oh, it's still loud out there, but it's bearable. Maybe because your breath will be taken away by the sight of the parade. Rides go by. Cages rattle by. Musicians and acrobats lead it in their brightly coloured clothes. Shadowy, tall and shapeless figures follow around. All of them are masked, and all of them follow the parade to the old carnival grounds, where everything is quickly set up. Stalls appear, filling the foul air of the town with delicious scents. Music continues to play. Showmen shout their wares.

And when you enter, the gates with clang shut behind you. You won't be getting out until you can show a ticket.

How do you get a ticket?

Enjoy the fair attractions, of course!

Hey guys!

So ~ Seth said he'd go and get a digital video camera and connector cables for the computer and a VCR, for Sabitsuki in her post here.

I've decided to handwave that he succeeded, and Sabi's mun has agreed as well. However, I was wondering if someone would volunteer to have gone with him? If he went alone, he's gonna be pretty traumatized afterwards, but if he went with someone we can discuss how it went here! So, does anyone want to say that they did?

Thank guys! Weee ~ ;3

ring update

Madotsuki will have a heavy nosebleed this afternoon. It will clear up in a few minutes, but will continue to come on and off through the remainder of her days. Anyone she has shown the tape to will also be afflicted with nosebleeds during the following week.

She will also be visited by a figure wearing a towel over his head. He won't do anything but point at the computer in their living room and will vanish after a short while. Everyone in the apartment will be able to see him.

"My name is Jack Frost. And I'm a Guardian. How do I know that? Because the moon told me so."

Hey guys! Ku here, bringing in a second character, Jack Frost from the Dreamworks picture of Williams Joyce's Rise of the Guardians!

I don't usually play fandom characters, so I'm very nervous as well as excited to bring Jack to the world of Jigoku. I hope you will all play along side him!

[personal profile] jigoku_mod2013-08-30 01:15 pm

before you die...

At precisely 3AM tonight, Madotsuki will witness the cursed video tape on the television in her living room. Upon the completion of the film clip, the VCR will eject the tape, leaving her with one hard copy, and she will recieve a phone call that appears to come from Mika Whitepaws.

After this, she will have seven days to live.

why hello, i heard you need some heavy metal

Hello, hellooo- I'm Sora! As stated in the title, I was led to believe this horror game needs more heavy metal nerds. I am happy to supply this demand, so I bring to you, Eddie Riggs.

Eddie is from the game Brutal Legend. He's the heavy metal half demon hero who is going to give everyone a headache. His jimmies are going to be pretty rustled. Lemme just say that.

But, yeah, Eddie is supremely friendly and is probably going to take the ghostly happenings a bit too well. Feel free to heckle/yell/tell him heavy metal sucks.

If ya'll want to contact me, my plurk is sonicsora. Message away!

before you die, you see the ring...

Hey there, newcomers!

You may not be aware that we had a sign up post for an event we're going to have! The event is based on the The Ring. In short, your characters will see a video (be it a computer file, a dvd or a video) and then receive a phone call telling them they have seven days to live. If they do not copy the video and show it to another person before the seven days are up, Sadako will kill them via cardiac arrest.

Also, since our resident Mika Whitepaws made such a public broadcast about Sadako's phone calls, residents who receive the calls will see Mika's caller identity on their phones. Mika herself will see either Seth Aurailia or Aaron Gawain if she happens to see the video the whole way through.

Sign up for your characters to be sent the video on this post. We will then make a post on the community with the video and a message saying that your character has received it at a random date. Should your character pass the video on to someone, we will do the same for them. Otherwise, expect to see the posts come up randomly!

Information posts about the well, Sadako, her family, previous deaths etc will be posted randomly on the comms for characters to find and read. Please keep an eye out for them!

Any questions should be directed to this post. Thank you!

Intro 2.0

Crow here again. Tonight I will be introing both my chars (timid_werewolf and this guy) but I wanted to pop an ooc thingy up saying he was here.

This is a blood elf. His name is Duibhín and he is a mage who enjoys doing the whole casting thing. He's kind of a lazy, bratty git but he's a pretty decent guy who tends to be struck with more than his fair share of bad luck.

My contact info is up on the friendlocked thing, so if you want, feel free to add my plurk or aim - I'm always up for chatting and plotting!

So yes. Going to go get my IC posts up now!

hello I am kex and I play a snooty bird

...Ahem. Hello, my name is Kex, and I am bringing you Sakuya Le Bel Shirogane. If you weren't around and/or forgot about when his canon was actually popular a year ago, he is from the pigeon dating sim Hatoful Boyfriend; specifically, he is a snooty, aristocratic, recovering racist fantailed dove. The canon I am taking him from is one where nobody gets romanced and actually the world comes pretty close to ending, also known as the Bad Boy's Love route. Given that Holiday Star seems to pretty much ignore the events of the first game, the actual goings-on won't affect his memories, but I am taking his personality into account when playing him. This is his wiki page, if anyone is interested!

Also, he has been turned into his human portrait for this, since playing a traumatizing horror game as a bird would be pretty difficult for my first go at him. On the other hand, he has thumbs! And wears a pristine white suit, and is freaked out by dirtiness! It should be an interesting ride. He will be living in Apartment 301, so Once-ler has a roommate now! Sakuya will not be pleased with this.

On my end, I am in the wonderful? horrible? land of Tejas, and thus in the CST time zone. I'll have a contact page up soon, RIGHT NOW in case anyone would like to contact me... for some reason! I look forward to horrible trauma playing with everyone!

(no subject)

So hey I'm back! I'm Christa and I used to play Tian and Konoe not TOO long ago.

I'm bringing you a really tall, purple elf from the MMO World of Warcraft. He's a demon hunter, so he's pretty used to freaky shit, but he's also a rather antisocial feral guy who is used to spend a few centuries all by himself in deep forests.

...also there's kind of a demon inside him and he doesn't have any eyes but that's a long story.

His roommate is Viola. I'm so sorry, Viola.

Hi ♥

Ew hey who let the werewolf in.

I mean uh. I'm back. hi guys,did you miss me?

For those of you I don't know HI! I'm Crow and it's nice to meet you, I look forward to playing with you and stealing some great CR. I sorta opened this place and then had to step down when real life things overwhelmed me. Testing the water here because I think things are better.

Anyways!

This is Aaron Gawain. He is a werewolf and a priss. He is coming not from jig canon but from a previous gamed I played him at on LJ years ago because I missed him. He's pretty much the same as in canon except a teensy bit more confident (which will get shot down in jig in no time lmao) and he has a pack of canines with stupid names following him over from there. I'll have a post for them up in a few but yeah

[I resisted long enough...]

Hey there cowboys.

Ku here, bringing OC Seth Aurailia back to Jigoku after a few years away! He used to be THE_AURAILIA over on LJ Jigoku, and had quite a lot of CR. I am wiping his slate clean, however, so he wont remember anyone or anything from before.

For those who know him they know what to expect, for those who don't, prepare to be Sethed! Thank you for having me and I look forward to playing with you all.

Drop

Heeey guys! I really hate that it's come to this, but I have ultimately decided to drop Kai and therefore drop the game. I absolutely adored Kai's CR here (it's honestly the best I have ever found in any game) but I have a hard time with horror settings. Maybe in the future I'll recharge and return, but for now I have to bow out. It was fun! o/

HEY EVERYONE IT'S ROSH AGAIN... wow I bet you're sick of seeing me on here. GOMEN.

I'm bringing in Double from Skullgirls! She's a perfectly nice, smiling nun. Very pious. Absolutely nothing strange about her. Nothing at all. )

Her move list can be found here on the Skullgirls wiki; she's pretty tough and adaptable. She's rooming in 107 with Vice because Sabitsuki moved out RNG was intent on pairing her with Visi but I play Visi so that wasn't ideal, and she got the next best thing! I'm really excited to play her, so I hope she has a good time here.

before you die, you see the ring...

Hey everyone! This is a sign up for an ongoing mini event that we're going to be putting up. Since Jigoku is a sandpit timed events don't seem to work out too well (like with the finale of the doll event), so we're hoping this is a solution everyone can enjoy!

Everyone is bound to be familiar with the video tape from The Ring. Here is a link to the video if not. Please be aware that there is some disturbing imagery in the video before going in to watch it!

Your characters will find that this video will pop up on their computer screens or on their televisions. If they watch it, they will immediately get a call on their phones which will contain the message 'seven days'. They will then have to find a way to break the curse or they will die in a short period of time - as Jigoku does not have a fixed passage of time, this will be up to you! The 'seven days' can be used just to spook your character, or be taken literally. It is entirely up to you.

The curse can only be broken if your character makes a copy of the video (if it showed up on televisions, they'll find a DVD or a video tape to make a copy of, and a file if on computers) and to show it to another person. If not, then the ghost of Sadako will crawl out of their televisions or computer screens and kill them.

Everyone is fairly familiar with The Ring so we haven't gone into terribly much detail here. However, should you require more, please don't hesitate to ask us any questions you like! We will try to get back to you ASAP.

Sign up for your characters to be sent the video on this post. We will then make a post on the community with the video and a message saying that your character has received it at a random date. Should your character pass the video on to someone, we will do the same for them. Otherwise, expect to see the posts come up randomly!

Information posts about the well, Sadako, her family, previous deaths etc will be posted randomly on the comms for characters to find and read. Please keep an eye out for them!
