So, if someone allegedly poked their head where they weren't supposed to with a lackey and then they allegedly saw a fellow student die of sand disease and then allegedly saw a demon in alleged haunted abandoned dorm how would they go about maybe dealing with an alleged demon infestation?

Asking for research for a short story.

Renat is... gathering sand. For a grave. Nothing terrible is going to happen to him.

*yes, absolutely nothing terrible. where are you getting sand though? just asking for a friend.*

Re: [Event]

[frozenperdition]

Near the beach. It's the easiest place to get sand here.

Re: [Event]

[likesand_inaglass]

*you reach down to gather up more sand, in true mourning fashion...

when an arm forms from the sand and grabs your wrist.*

Re: [Event]

[frozenperdition]

Oh.

.... oh.

"AAAAAAA"

He starts flailing and trying to pull away but in his panic has grabbed the arm and is pulling.

Re: [Event]

[likesand_inaglass]

*your screaming and pulling manages to pull out Sanae from the sand, who forms fully.

cough, cough.*

Oh, I'm alive.

Re: [Event]

[frozenperdition]

"... You can recover from sand disease?!"

Re: [Event]

[likesand_inaglass]

Yes.

I said it's deadly. Not fatal. *cough, cough cough. brushing himself off.*

Re: [Event]

[frozenperdition]

"Don't those usually mean... the same thing?"

He helps dust you off. He seems. Pretty relieved.

Re: [Event]

[likesand_inaglass]

Fatal means there's no coming back from it once it reaches that point, irregardless of what you do.

Even the flu can be "deadly" if problems happen, but most people get the flu without dying, right?

Re: [Event]

[frozenperdition]

"Ah, yeah. I guess that makes sense.

... I don't think I ever got yer name though."

Re: [Event]

[likesand_inaglass]

Natsukawa, Sanae.

Re: [Event]

[frozenperdition]

"Oh, huh.

I figured you had a... different surname."

Re: [Event]

[likesand_inaglass]

Yeah. A lot of people think that. *cough, cough*

Re: [Event]

[frozenperdition]

"... ya alright bud? Ya ain't gonna melt into sand again, are ya?"

Re: [Event]

[likesand_inaglass]

No, this is just me being regular everyday mildly sick. Non-sand related.

Re: [Event]

[frozenperdition]

"Oh.

Ya need help gettin' back to the dorms?"

Re: [Event]

[likesand_inaglass]

*he tests his legs a bit. You can tell that they seem stiff in movement.*

... Just walk with me and help in case I find I can't move.

Re: [Event]

[frozenperdition]

"... yeah, I can do that."

He dusts the sand off of himself.

"Ya, uh. Missed an actual demon."

Re: [Event]

[likesand_inaglass]

*cough, cough, but this time out of surprise*

Wait, I did? A real demon?

*damn, I wasn't the scariest thing that night??*

Re: [Event]

[frozenperdition]

"Yeah. Colly darted, but... I think it was guarding something in the basement of the dorm. Didn't really try and kill me after I left the steps."

Re: [Event]

[likesand_inaglass]

Maybe there's a gaping abyss in there, and it protected you.

Re: [Event]

[frozenperdition]

"Hrm. Maybe. But then I gotta look at that gaping abyss!"

Re: [Event]

[likesand_inaglass]

But what if the gaping abyss looks back?

Re: [Event]

[frozenperdition]

"Then the abyss becomes you."
