UNOFFICIAL PHASMOPHOBIA SOUNDTRACK - CARMINEROCK97


WELCOME TO...


THE DESERT RUINS, ROUTE 111

[break]


UPON ENTERING THE DESERT RUINS, you and your team already begin to feel ill at ease, and it's more than just the dated relics and scripture surrounding you. The detritus that clings to the floor seems to suggest countless ages have passed since last living feet have stepped here. You're not immune to the sense of privilege as you step upon priceless archaelogical discoveries...[break][break]

As the last of your team descends from the ladder with a resounding thud, an impact tremor echoes back up the hallway, forcing you to question whether you're the only ones on site. Best not to linger and find out.[break][break]

Take your time searching the following points of interest:[break]

Perhaps he should be frightened by the thought of death and hauntings, but Gavin's amber eyes gleam with excitement as they arrive at the DESERT RUINS. Though he'd pursued paleontology, archaeology had offered similar fascination.

"We may want to split up." A glance is spared to ; he's always loathe to leave his husband's side, but... "This place isn't small."

Though the strange mosaics on the wall draw his curiosity, he decides to leave them to someone like ; maybe the Unown would have some insights? Gavin pulls out his phone, allowing it to transmit audio via his ROTOM.

"I'll go south. Good luck."

With a mocking salute to his fellow ghost hunters, Gavin vanishes down a corridor toward the SOUTHERN HALL.

”Nerd.” Inevitably, Mars teases when he gives them a salute, offering his friend the brightest and most perfect grin before Hoenn’s Most Wanted disappears down one of the ancient corridors.
[break][break]
”He’s right, though. We should split up.”
[break][break]
The ruins are – as Gavin had so aptly put it – not small and they bring to mind thoughts of the underground labyrinths and tombs in some of his favourite epics. A thought that, when paired with the air of mystery that surrounds them, makes Mars giddy with excitement. Yes, he’s kind of a nerd too.
[break][break]
His golden gaze wanders over ancient stone, only to then fall upon and then . From a Luxury Ball, an Unown-X is released.
[break][break]
”I’ll check out the mosaics with Xero here. Unown fucking love that kind of stuff. Always stick to them and so on. Yell if you need help.”
[break][break]
He winks at Barnaby, and with that said and done, Mars makes his way to the nearest mosaic with his Unown-X at his heels… literally. XEROGRAPHY, as the Unown-X had been named (‘Xero’ for short), follows its usual habit of floating closer to the ground until standing on its bottom limbs and then mimicking Mars’ stride. It’s surprisingly good at it, honestly.

Dusty ruins and putrid catacombs were not places Barnaby normally went out of his way to frequent, but the prospect of a little seasonal ghost hunt with the boys didn't actually seem so bad. In hindsight, he would have dressed down a bit for the occasion, as already grime from the ladder they'd used to descend had smudged on his sleeve. Hm.

"You two go on ahead," Barnaby responded, throwing an encouraging grin 's way. was also given a cute wink, too, as well as a prolonged look as he made his way toward the strange mosaics. Hate to see you go, love to watch you leave, etc. "I'll stick around here for a bit and see if any ~spirits~ are present."

In reality he simply wanted to try and wipe off some of the filth that had accumulated on his clothing before moving on. Still, his AMPHAROS (using STATIC) was released to at least attempt to suss out any electromagnetic fields while Barnaby dabbed at his sleeve with a little water from his canteen.

"Where are you headed, Temp?" He asked , the last of their group to move deeper into the tomb, as he did so.

Ghost hunting with the boys had been a fucking great idea.

Until it wasn't.

lags behind in many sense of the word. To the others this is a fun jaunt. A little archeology for . An adventure come to life for . A place to get covered in dust for . What Temp sees is a waiting set of jaws ready to eat him.

The weight of this ancient place hangs over him like a threat. It's not the ghosts that scare him here. It is the crush of something solid and massive. He is still and quiet and lost in fantasies of black pits that fall forever.

Barnaby breaks him out of it. A bit.

He gives a clearly forced and uneasy smile, seeming to try and shake off the stiffness of his own phobias.

"Uh. I guess I'll go... that way?"

It's awkward and stilted but still friendly enough. It takes a moment for him to unclasp his fist and grasp a pokeball in numbing fingers. His Vaporeon chatters at his side, ears back and tail high, alert for danger since her trainer was do tense. A few quick steps are taken down the Northern Hallway. Temp is embarrassed of his fear; he doesn't want Barnaby to see it too long.

His Vaporeon sticks close to him, her body basically pressed to his leg. She sighs out a Haze around her.

CATACOMBS - ELDEN RING OFFICIAL SOUNDTRACK


WELCOME TO...


THE DESERT RUINS, ROUTE 111

[break]


YOUR TEAM SPLITS UP TO COVER GROUND, perhaps ignorant to the dangers, or confident in themselves. But as the lightless corridors stretch on and on before you, distancing you from the only three people who know you're even down here, your biology turns against you. Your heart hastens under the duress, knowing you are alone and exposed...[break][break]

While explores the southern halls, they come across a strange curio left behind by the last adventurers to explore here. Something not unlike a puzzle box, there are tiny stone fragments scattered on the ground surrounding it. He would stumble across them by happenstance, perhaps even stepping upon them as the haze builds up around them, spilling over the corridor. For all his efforts, not a wisp or mote seems to appear, giving him the impression there are none to be found...[break][break]

To the north, reaches out to the dead, lending ear to their voices. But they are reluctant to answer, lost in the throes of their agony. Gavin is reasonably able to conclude that there will be no interactions on the voicebox, but he does notice a section of tiles that seem significantly more weathered than anywhere else...[break][break]

During their forray, remains closer to the landing site, slowly working his way through the strange mosaics. Many of them depict beings from their creators' times, and remain mostly inconclusive. But there remains imagery of GROUDON and KYOGRE to be seen further ahead, and Mars is able to determine the cave's purpose as a sort of chronology, or record of events. The further he explores however, the more he'd notice depictions of Unown, but these were engravings—not the proof he concerned himself with. Such evidence didn't appear. Yet as time went on, he began to see strange things in the pictures—things that did not belong on these aged stones.[break][break]

struggles with what may be hallucinations, perhaps from a strange mold growing on the ceiling, or some magicked aspect of this place as he succumbs to this trap. The idea that the ancients had recorded such events... Were they truly doomed to fail, then...?[break][break]

They are all of them only able to peel their eyes away from their investigations when all at once, from the landing site, they hear the dreaded first sign as an echoe cascading through the halls:[break][break]

[player]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/645835639891296276/1028912020780744744/EMF5.mp3[/player][break]

Many will feel compelled to rush to their side, Mars chiefest among them. After all, what sort of event may have triggered such a dreadful, eerie sound...?[break][break]

In his excitement, Gavin had shamefully not paused to consider 's anxiety at being underground. He has witnessed it exactly once, when they'd delved into a different archaeological adventure, and without the incident fresh in mind...

It's the eerie echo that has him worried — not for himself, but for his husband.

Abandoning his futile attempts to get a response on the voice box, Gavin rushes right past the landing where the noise had occurred. He finds Temp in the NORTHERN HALL, letting out a shaky breath of relief to find the other is... well, perhaps all right is generous, but he doesn't look physically hurt. Shaken, perhaps, and that's when Gavin remembers.

"Fuck, you don't like being underground." Guilt is a punch to the gut. "I'm so sorry, love, I shouldn't have left you alone..."

He's not going to leave his side, now.

"I haven't found anything," he says, swapping his Rotom out for a PONYTA. It's FLAME BODY casts heat around them — uncomfortable for Gavin, but maybe not Temp. "You?"

He probably shouldn’t touch the mosaic, but the complex array of images almost compels him to do so. He steps closer, gently placing fingers upon stone and tracing the carvings while walking beside them. He can see it clearly: the story, the timeline of events. Is this Hoenn’s history?
[break][break]
Familiar symbols call to him, Unown whispering a plethora of words into his mind. Strange markings mingle with what is expected and known, and by his side, the Unown-X points at them while looking up at him. He can’t see them through the Unown’s gaze, only through his. Mars frowns at this discovery.
[break][break]
”...I know…”
[break][break]
A chilling reverberates through the tomb, and golden eyes widen. Had it come from the entrance? Barnaby’s still there.
[break][break]
”Xero.” Understanding without a need for words between them, the Unown rises in the air, hovering by his side, and after taking a second to picture the LANDING SITE in his mind, Mars disappears.
[break][break]
Within seconds, he reappears at the spot where he first stepped away.
[break][break]
”You okay?” Mars asks when seeing him. ”...Heard a weird sound.”
[break][break]
From a Luxury Ball, a Doublade is released in case it’s needed. Ghosts will likely fare better than other pokémon in a place like this. His gaze wanders to the ground, looking for any signs of another presence – perhaps footprints that are not theirs.

All too soon Barnaby was left alone in the eerie quiet of the forgotten tomb. He watched as departed, but quickly turned his attentions back to his clothing. Whatever had stained the fabric was simply not coming out and would likely require more robust clean—

A piercing sound echoed through the halls, seeming to originate from right... behind... Barnaby. He jumped. It was an involuntary response beyond his control. Luckily, his sweet AMPHAROS was there to steady him, even as his head jerked from side to side, trying to identify the strange sound's source.

"What the hell...?" He breathed out, confused. There was nothing. That he could physically see, anyway...

Barnaby took a step back, wanting to put a little distance between himself and whatever was going on here, and bumped right into the chest of . He flinched on contact, but was immediately soothed by the concerned tone in his friend's voice. Turning, he smiled reassuringly and responded,

"Yeah, I'm okay. I have no idea what that sound was, though..." Frowning, his gaze swept across the limited field of vision around them. "I didn't see anything."

That didn't mean there wasn't anything there, though. An idea began to form in his head and, after recalling AMPHAROS, Barnaby released his beloved Fleur, one of his oldest companions. Perhaps she could reveal whatever was nearby.

"Mist." All at once a frigid haze started to exude from the pale fox, glistening and filling the Landing Site around them.
