HAUNTINGS (?)

In Collected we have made an in game mechanic where characters can go investigate, or experience, Hauntings that happen within the mall... or, at least that's what you think they might be. The location changes every month, with new opportunities for spooks and items to be collected - with some scares being sinister, and others silly. All you have to do to complete the mission is to go into where the Haunting is happening, whatever store it may be at, and the rest is up to you! There are no real requirements other than exposing your poor character to the weird horrors that lie in wait.

By submitting a thread of 10 comments (5 from each character), you and your thread partner will each receive a reward. These will vary depending on the Haunting, and you and your partner may not get the same reward! Every location can be visited up to two times, so that means your character can receive two items total if they decide to brave the Haunting multiple times!

Additionally, your Haunting explorations are not limited to two character threads - you may do them with three or more characters if you want to, provided that each character in the thread has 5 comments upon you submitting the thread.

Here is where you can submit the forms for our monthly Hauntings! There will be a comment posted at the beginning of each month detailing what the Haunting will be like. To turn in your threads for a reward, simply reply to the corresponding month's comment with the code below - be sure to put in as much detail as you want, and we will reply with whatever items your character (or characters!) have earned.

In the subject, please put the names of the characters in the thread you're submitting separated by a comma (ex: Lottie Person, Misa Amane). <b>Characters Involved:</b> <b>Link to Thread:</b> <b>Summary:</b>

Tucked away in a far corner of the mall is a little shop that seems unbecoming - it’s hard to tell what this store was really for, given that there’s nothing left in it. Just as the month previous, however, this mysterious store is suddenly restored to its former glory - and reveals a Music Box Shop.

» Inside, there are various antique and modern musical trinkets - windable music boxes, jewelry boxes with dancing ballerinas, and even snowglobes that can be wound to play little tunes. All these curios will be stocked on the (now restored) shelves, shimmering clean and not a fleck of dust on them.

» That’s not all, though. Characters who wander into this store to play with the musical trinkets will find that any that they go through the effort of winding will play music from their homeland. The songs can be famous pop songs, folk songs, or maybe even battle hymns and sea shanties - feel free to be creative with what sorts of tunes might come out of these trinkets!

» Characters will find that each different box they pick up will play a different tune - and that the boxes will always play familiar tunes to whoever wound it. This means that if Character A winds a music box, it’ll play a song from A’s homeland. If Character A then passes the box to Character B, and B winds it, it’ll now play a song from B’s homeland. Weird! Something special is going on with this store and these boxes.

» Strangely enough, boxes taken outside from this store will cease function - the nodes and gears that allowed them to play music simply won’t produce sound anymore.
