Did you know that there is a movie called Nosferatu? The movie was the one that made the idea of vampires burning up in sunlight!

Vampires are able to change their physical structure to mimic nocturnal animals like a wolf, rodents and the bats!

Tbh i see potential in this, Nosferatu could mimic a rodent and just sneak into our house

Sorry for the yap fest (˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ ) thought you would like to know about these

I knew of Nos cause of SpongeBob. I personally believe Nos (Forsaken) would love SpongeBob, this has no effect on AYS lore, I think it’s funny.

That’s so interesting that the og movie created that aspect of the mythos. I should really watch that and read Dracula ngl…

(Nos) alone: How does your OC deal with loneliness? Have they ever been completely alone before? How do they act when there's no one around to see them?

Mostly alone. Beginning stretch of its existence it was completely alone and also very gradually coming into state of consciousness, so didn't understand much but at same time was formed by those influences around it. It prefers being alone. When others are around it is hyperaware of everything and on edge but being alone it can be calmer and take its time for things (it is also very slow).

(Nos) future: What's the worst possible future for your OC? Are they taking steps to avoid that outcome? Are they even aware it's a possibility?

Not sure it really thinks about the future much... Mostly just drifts along, it doesn't have many goals other than to be left alone and to avoid unpleasant situations. Don't think it sees the point in thinking about the future or any kind of "purpose" much, it's usually occupied thinking about things that aren't that important on large scale. Loses a lot of energy on thinking. Very creature of habit so if anything unexpected happens then it's definitely not prepared...

(Nos) mask: Does your OC wear a mask, literally or figuratively? What goes on beneath it? Is there anyone in their life who gets to see who they are under the mask?

Obviously wears one but the mask is what enables it to be part of outside world. Beneath it...not much in physical sense. It doesn't emote with facial expressions. Its eyes are very good but also very light sensitive (trying to push the barn owl look of that more) so bright environments are harsh and it prefers keeping the mask on... Figuratively it's very restrained, there IS a bunch going on inside it but it's not recognized. Especially when it gets overloaded (happens often) it just stops reacting. So. Often it gets treated as a creature that can't understand. It IS a weird creature and does have problems understanding but still capable of understanding more than others assume...

(Alba) desire: What's one thing your OC wants more than anything in the world? Are they open with that desire? Why or why not? What would they do to fulfill it?

Probably...freedom? But no exact plans, just the vague but strong feeling of wanting out and away. He feels trapped in the society he is in and wants to be far away so he lives alone in contrast to the communal living that defines his group. And while he isn't necessarily open with it because he doesn't care to talk to many people some of the others definitely notice. And he wants to fulfill it but doesn't know how to go about it, so it stays dreams.

(Alba) skin: How comfortable is your OC in their skin? Do they grapple with anything that lives inside them—a beast, a curse, a failure, a monster? How do they face the smallest, weakest, most horrible version of themself? Are they able to acknowledge it at all?

Okay slight edit cause I wanted to change one detail of the first two parts but didn’t wanna rewrite the whole thing, so its just the first two edited and then the 3rd is completely new

In the living room Kepo is rearranging things, not by much, Mimu is playing music In his room, closest to the living room, she gets distracted by the music, with it being the most random assortment of music, changing every 3 to 4 minutes, with no theme. Now she's questioning if she should tell him to play a playlist instead of where she wants to put a pumpkin in her hands.

She places it on the floor next to the tv stand and walks to Mimu's room, despite the music being loud he hears her and stops the music, opening the door, asking her what she needed, she told him nothing and was just wondering how he simultaneously has the weirdest mix of good songs, just not the same genre.

M - "Excuse me"

He said to get her out his way when he started to walk past her

M - "A good song is a good song"

He shrugged and fell backwards onto the side of the couch with no one on it, with the sibling's ghost's on the other, Kepo noticed them but didn't say anything to them.

M - "wow you are finally out of your office"

Mimu said teasing his sister, even though he knew she almost always had a hit to compete,

K - "Shut, or I'll throw the pumpkin at you"

She said back, the comment hurt a bit, she wished she spent more time with him before his 18th birthday and maybe he wouldn't be involved in her line of work. But she knew he didn't mean any harm, and she thought he didn't know about any regrets she has.

M - "I'd catch it"

He said, with over confidence in his voice, Kepo knew he can throw knifes well but catching things wasn't something he liked to do, despite never actually dropping anything

She picked the pumpkin up again, it had weight to it but she was sure he'd be ok if he did miss the catch, just a little butt-hurt.

M - "Wait! *WAIT*!"

He panicked seeing her pick up the pumpkin and accepted that he lost the bet he had really only made with himself, she put it back with a *‘thats what I thought'* attitude. The whole time the ghosts watched, slightly worried, both of the ghosts were only children and Mimu and Kepo are a bit more violent with their sibling banter, so this looked a bit worrying to them but they ignored it.

G1 - "I remember, you used to sit in silence,"

The ghost with the white hat said, the ghosts don't remember much about before they died but when they did it came up randomly

Go - "Not all the time, I remember you playing"

Said the red caped ghost beside him. Kepo sat on the couch next to Mimu, both watching like a new episode of their favorite show, this didn't happen much and at the beginning of these conversations they didn't get much context but they found out it was best to just let them talk

G1 - "Really? I don't remember why but I would walk into your room.. no.. study and you would be working in silence, I think I would give you water”

Them getting words wrong and changing them was normal so it was probably going to happen a few times

Go - "Yes, I don't remember thanking you, thanks"

G1 - "You are welcome, I don't remember why I felt like it but I felt like I had to keep you well"

Go - "Why?"

G1 - "I don't remember."

Go - "No, why did you play?"

G1 - "Oh, I didn't think you could hear me, I was always a room, maybe a floor away from you"

Go - "I remember walking.. no, moving closer, and sit and work on something,"

G1 - "What was it?"

Go - "I.. don't remember, why were your songs so sad? No, why did you play sadly?"

G1 - "Sadly?"

Go - "Yes, you would play songs I recognized as being faster, you played them softly, and slow, I would imagine how you look while playing"

G1 - "I was tired.. no exhausted. No.."

M - "Sad?.. like tired from sadness?"

G1 -"Yes, yes I was sad, thank you Mimu,"

Sometimes the two had to help them with words, when away they would talk about how they talk, so different then when they were 'humanized' they were a lot nicer when in a more ghost form, but still talked like they don't know how to shorten sentences, in-fact that was the first time they had hear them say 'thanks'

"How did you get that?" "Shit- I guessed-“

The two whispered to each other

G1 - "Why didn't you ever walk into the room I was in?"

Go - “I was embarrassed."

G1 - "Of me?"

Go - "No, of myself,"

He sounded sure, this happened often too, where one of them is so sure of a detail

G1 - "Why?"

Go - "Because.. I hurt you? I think, but I like you"

G1 - "I think we didn't like each other before, maybe I liked You too, why would you hurt me"

Go - "I.. I don't know, I feel like I hurt you, and me, really badly. And someone else"

G1 - "Who? Mimu? Kepo?"

Go - "No, two other people, kids... I hurt kids?."

His voice was shaking, if he had eyes in this form he'd probably be crying by now, in this state he didn't ever want to hurt someone, let alone people that from his understanding was people he liked, and could even love.

The white hat ghost put his hands on the red caped ghosts shoulders, and brought him closer to him, he laid mostly on the couch but a bit on him. From what Kepo and Mimu could tell they weren't looking at each other.

M - "Soo.. 1 x Oliver confirmed?”

Mimu whispered, it threw Kepo off and she almost laughed but she managed to stop herself and elbowed him

G1 - "It feels like I read something about this, like two people have done this before"

Go - "Me too.."

G1 - "the sky, the.."

The white hat ghost looked around the room, mostly at the ceiling, looking for something, The red caped ghost didn’t move,

Go - "the weather,"

G1 - “yes the books, in the house”

K - ‘Mimu please don't say some stupid shit,’

M - ‘I'm going to say something stupid’

M - "Do you know where your house is?"

"Yes? Yes."
