LOCATIONS
1. HOUSE Your home, someone else's home, a haunted house up on the hill, whatever.
2. WOODS Why are you out in the woods? Why are you courting ghosts? Stop that and go home before slenderman gets you.
3. CHURCH This is a place of safety, right? Nothing can get you here, right?
4. MISC For anywhere that's not above. Haunted hospitals, prisons, "asylums," and so on. Just do what you will.
WHO ARE YOU?
1. STUPID KID From the dumbass teenager to the stupid kid sitting on the internet reading creepypasta, you're young and dumb and probably gonna get murdered by a ghost.
2. SOME ASSHOLE You're basically the dumbass dad that moves his family into some haunted-ass place. You don't listen because the house is PERFECT and nothing could possibly be wrong. Walls are dripping blood? Nah, it's just water damage.
3. HISTORIAN/ETC You're smart. You just have to deal with dumbasses coming into your research library every week and asking you about some stupid shit they want to do, badgering you until you tell them. Seeing their obituaries is getting kind of tiring.
4. OLD PRIEST/YOUNG PRIEST Some dumbass got possessed and you gotta fix it. Or you're cleansing a haunted house. Does it work or does shit go wrong? We're rooting for you, Father.
5. POOR DISTURBED SPIRIT You were just resting, minding your own business, when some dumbass called you out of the grave, or hell, or the abyss, or whatever. So now you're pissed off. Maybe they did the ritual right and you're bound to protocol, or they fucked up and you get to have fun. Careful though, don't get exorcised.
6. INNOCENT BYSTANDER You're not stupid, everyone around you is just a dumbass. Your family moved into a scary house and you want out, your roommate did some dipshit ritual and pissed off a demon and now you're stuck, whatever. Survive first, unfriend them on facebook later.
SCENARIOS
1. GHOST HUNTING Okay, you're pretty much a dumbass. Maybe you're legit or maybe you're just some amped up dude-bro, you're going to explore the far corners of the world in search of cool shit! Don't get murdered by a pissed off ghost, maybe. They're gonna scratch your nipples.
2. SCARY STORIES You're not actually as much of a dumbass as some of the other options! You're just sitting around telling scary stories. That's not too bad, right? Except you forgot that words have power and you can still call up some shit.
3. TIME TO PLAY You read about some cool scary game on the internet and you want to go through with it. You know, just to see. Here are some suggestions, dumbass.
4. SUMMONING ALL HAIL THE KING OF THE DUMBASSES. You wanted to summon a demon either to control it or ask it something or just to see if you could. Get ready to get messed up, because honestly? You shouldn't have messed with this shit. Better hope your circle of salt works, or you're screwed.
5. POSSESSION Y'all, this is some shit. Don't be a dumbass, call up some priests. Don't try to take care of this yourself. You know better. Don't listen to the demons.
6. HAPPENSTANCE Okay, maybe you weren't acting the dumbass. Maybe you just stumbled onto something on accident. Still, you disturbed someone's slumber and now you gotta get out.
As always, these are just suggestions. Make up anything you want, as long as you're having fun! Remember, you never know what things you do can conjure. Maybe something scary will happen to you. Here's some creepypasta if you want it, but you can also make up whatever. We're not the actual cops, just the ghost-hunting dumbass police. |

1 - 3? where does scientist fit in - 1
It's not in Night Vale. It's somewhere on the outskirts, within walking distance but not in the town proper. Its architecture doesn't really resemble most of Night Vale's buildings - when Night Vale's buildings have understandable architecture, that is. Rather, it's a Japanese-style house.
No one really remembers when that building got there, or who lives in it. They're all very certain that you can get good herbal medicine there, though. If you're willing to pay for it in walnuts. (There are worse ways to pay for medicine.)
So, man of science, are you interested in investigating?]

Standing in front of the door to this little house, though...he's having second thoughts.
He's come armed with a pocket full of walnuts, a flashlight, and a copy of the Glass Menagerie, and something still seems off about this situation...still, whatever. He can't back out now, with one hand knocking on the door and the other nervously fiddling with his shirt's cuff. It's fine, right? Gotta be fine.]
Hello?

[The voice is that of a young man - younger than Carlos himself, though clearly not a teenager. The words are polite. Whether that's reassuring or not is another question.
If Carlos chooses to step inside, he will find that the outside of the building is a good reflection of the inside of the building. It's Japanese in style, with the lanterns hanging from the ceiling and the posters Carlos is unlikely to be able to read on the walls. Various medicines sit on various counters and dressers. (There's no dragon, sadly. The eyeballs remain.)
The medicine seller himself appears as man probably not even in his thirties. He's dressed appropriately for the setting, yukata and all, and seems to be a natural part of the store. ...Also those are definitely horns and wings, albeit small ones.]
Welcome. How may I be of assistance to you today?
