Creepypasta Round Robin: SensitIV

[The room that you find yourself in is dimly lit, tastefully adorned with decor in metal and stained glass. An ornate and overly large grandfather clock stands in shadow at the far end of the wall--while it is difficult to tell precisely what time it is, the tick of each second is surprisingly, distressingly loud.]

[A long, low table covered with with a black crushed velvet tablecloth houses an array of drinks, some spooky treats, eight serving dishes, and eight sets of silverware.]

[On a desk along the far wall, you will find a piece of parchment and a quill pen. The parchment reads only the following:]

The man awakes, and he discovers that he has no mouth.

[Immediately reaching for a cookie.]

So we're supposed to write a scary story...?

Correct! Here are my thoughts. His lips were sewn shut.

That's a little harsh, isn't it...? Can't we go from the figurative angle, too?

[Dramatically:]

"The man awakens, and he discovers that he has no mouth. Figuratively speaking, at least, - and speaking, he would do no longer. For he found upon awakening that he could not make a sound, almost as though he lacked a mouth entirely, and that was entirely because of the dreadful sight before him-"

Or something like that, anyway.

Isn't harsh sort of the point? After all, whatever he sees must be quite terrible as well.

[ With equal drama: ]

"After all, it was his own beloved wife, standing over the bed with hands covered in dried blood. 'Wake up, love,' she whispered, hoarsely. A harsh, chemical smell coated her body."

I think that may be enough for now, unless somebody else wants to add something? We'll need to continue it further.

Yeah, but I don't know how I feel about just writing along with what we're given. Maybe I'm just a rebellious spirit.

[Monch.]

The rules imply that it should be scary, though. I think deviating from a literal loss of his mouth is rebellious enough.

Yeah, but the rules for the games usually suck, so if they aren't keeping us in line for this one I feel like I should mess with it on principle.

No, no. But there should be a horror mood. Maybe the ultimate twist will be that she was making him an unusual but wholesome meal.

I think we should stop it here for this round, so that we have enough to improvise on later.

Pig guts can look a lot like human guts. And comedy horror might count, too!

But I'm alright with ending it here.

Sorry, sorry! If you really want a horror story, I'll take this more seriously!

Nooo, we might as well just go with it.

[ Heaving a disappointed sigh. ]

Now, will this be an extension of the last story? I thought it would, but it changed from third, to first person.
bondsofsuffering: ([Think] out of it)

Re: ROUND 2 DISCUSSION

[personal profile] bondsofsuffering 2020-10-10 09:02 pm (UTC)(link)
That is pretty weird, huh...

Either way, we probably just need to go along with it, right?

"The fact that there were no cubicles made it horrifyingly clear: blood coated practically every visible surface, sticky and red and fresh. The scent of iron filled my nostrils, and I could hardly keep myself from retching." -is that better?

We can always mix the themes.

"The man who entered the room was a terrible sight, all covered in stitches and burns, wearing a bloody smock— the manager. 'I'm gonna need those reports on the cannibal demon pits on my desk by noon.' "

"I hate Mondays."
