Ghost-Con BDE: The Fighty Researchy Bits Sign-Ups!

Hello and how do you do, Fandom! Now that applications for Ghost Con are well on their way, it's time for us to look at how we're going to be getting rid of our ghosts afterwards. There's two ways for you to help with that: do the research, or be part of the strike team that goes in to disrupt the power that Ingvar is shoving into the ghosts.

Well, actually, there's three, but we'll get to that in a bit.

Did somebody say research?

Indeed we did! Students and teachers and townies (oh my!) choosing to help out through scholarly means can gather up in the library to hunt for clues on how to deal with this level of possession. The research will take place from Wednesday through Friday; during this period, clues will be handed out to those favored by the RNG. These clues will lead Fandom to the final ritual that'll free everyone of that pesky ghost problem.

I'm more of a 'punch people' kind of person.

We've got good news for you! A small strike team will take off for Ingvar on Saturday morning, to utilize the ceremony the researchers have uncovered to cut off the power Ingvar is feeding those dastardly possessing fiends. This will be preplayed, starting the Monday of BDE week (December 1st) and posted on Saturday morning. Being part of the strike team will mean fighting your way through whatever nastiness Ingvar can throw at you before performing the ritual, so choose wisely.

But what if I don't want to be on a team?

More good news! Both ghosts and possessed people will be running wild on Saturday, trying to either escape the island or get to Ingvar to attack the strike team. It's up to the rest of you to fight the ghosts and herd the possessed to Our Lady of Fandom, where they can have some measure of safety. You don't need to sign up for this, however.

Deadline for sign-ups is Sunday, November 30th, and for those who love brainstorming, we're tossing in a brainstorming OCD to boot. Woo!

What you're here for.

Yes! I would like to research in the library and get thrown into the RNG for a clue!

Elsa goes here, please!

This bookish little nerdface -- I mean Cosette -- goes here!

Nerdface Rapunzel goes with the other nerdfaces, please. :)

Kathy Li

Ghosts being somewhat in Stark's wheelhouse I'd like to toss him in here.

~~i signed up for a thing, is that a sign of the apocalypse?~~

Yes! I would enjoy fighting my way onto an evil island and/or having my mind screwed with on an evil island for JUSTICE and making sure people don't have ghosts banging around their heads.

Throw Raven into this RNG, please!

Celia goes here, please!

Anders goes here!

Stabbity? Count Jalian in!

Make that two Ravens signing up here!

Let's put Clint here!

Kathy can also go here, if that's okay!

Anakin goes here for more adult ("adult?") supervision, yay!

In case you just want to storm some brains for BDE week!

Sooooo, my evil BDE ghostie is Samara Morgan (

she_neversleeps) who won't be possessing anybody because the last time she tried that (in The Ring 2) it did not work out so well. She doesn't especially want to return to life anymore, just make other people share her death, which she's discovered Fandom is great for, since she can make her video appear all the time, rather than wait for people to pass it around. (She also wants a mommy who loves her and won't throw her down a well; if you've got a character -- or a ghost! -- who'd be stupidly sympathetic to her and you want to be the object of her fixation, that could be interesting to play with.)

What she will be doing is showing her cursed video (warning for some bugs and finger-damage grossness) at the Mystery Science Theatre on Wednesday, then spending the rest of the week tormenting anyone who showed up to watch it.

Nobody's going to die, because she won't get her full seven daaaaaays before all the ghosts get chased off the island, but anybody who wants to can become a victim of her escalating FEEEEEL MY PAAAAAAAIN visions (scenes from the cursed video and from her past), nightmares, nosebleeds, coughing up wet hair or electrodes, animals around them acting weird, and appearances of Samara's ghost out of water, in a chair in an empty room, or out of a nearby tv. (She won't look directly at anybody with her deathglare if she crawls out of your tv. Just be creepy at you, then disappear.) Much of that can be modded aside from the actual appearances, but I'm up for playing out hauntings or hallucinations with people too.

So - anybody interested in being a target? Hit me up here or in e-mail to figure out when and how much.

Roland could absolutely use more traumatizing. (Also, I'd be amused to play a little with the whole "Pinkie really is an animal" deal if you want some sentient animal freaking out.)

I think I need to throw Gwen in here because I really need to play with this but haven't figured out a ghost I know and can play. I AM ALL FOR CREEPINESS.

Since I cannot for the life of me figure out a ghost to bring by, I would be more than happy to have Kira get creeeeeeped out! :D :D

Oh, dear lord - Barbara Maitland is the ultimate motherer. She's not staying for the BDE, but if you want some fussing over during the con, hit me up!

Okay, so there apparently are no good frighteners videos on YouTube that aren't movie reviews so I can't link to an example (you should all watch this movie).

Johnny Bartlett is a spree/serial killer so into upping his body count to have the most kills that he keeps going after death. He won't manage to up that count here (for one thing, he manages to possess a guy who's gotten REALLY GOOD at not killing people), but I'd love it for him to try a time or two.

Anyone up for either a) a ghost reaching into their chest and trying to crush their heart, b) stopping a ghost from reaching into someone's chest and trying to crush their heart, or c) possessed Eliot being super creepy at them and not killing them, let me know!

Also, Johnny's murderous true love/partner in crime Patricia is not coming with him to Fandom (this will put a damper on his happy go lucky killing spree as well), so he's likely to go looking for a replacement. Any young women (students/young townies) up for being stalked by a ghost? (Just the ghost, not possessed-Eliot because that age difference creeps me out.)
