A Task From Vask - Story Complete!

A Task From Vask​

As would seem obvious, Halloween is Vask's favorite time of the year. The cold, damp weather, the way the cemetery across the street seems to come alive, the wind picking up and carrying with it the melancholy call of a ragged crow, and the telling of folklore around a crackling fire.

This season, Vask needs your help to make this a Halloween he'll never forget, but he's not easy to please. In order to unlock Vask's spirit token, you'll first need to satiate his thirst for a tale unlike any he's ever heard. Gather 'round, polish up your storytelling skills, and work together as a community to craft a story for the ages.


How To Participate

---

You'll need to work together to create a spooky story that will please Vask. I will begin the story with the first post, and it's up to all of you to continue the story in a way that both makes sense and fits within the theme of Halloween.


Rules

---

• Each post may contain 2-3 complete sentences and it must fit with the flow of the story
• Posts must fit within the forum rules and guidelines; if it's not suitable for a PG-13 audience it doesn't belong here
• You must wait until at least 3 people have posted in order to post again
• This thread will be locked periodically to ensure other members have a chance to add to the story
• Posts must be coherent and must consist of 2-3 complete sentences
• I will post once Vask is pleased, though there's no telling when that might be
• No more than 2-3 sentences per post!

Prizes

---

Each member with at least two contributions in creating a story for Vask will receive 3 Carnival Coins. Once Vask is pleased, it will unlock his special spirit token which will be purchasable via the event shop.

What will it take to scare me? Perhaps you'll find out...​

 

[Oblivia]

On a Friday the 13th unlike any other, Vask awoke with a tale as old as time swimming through his consciousness.

 

[kiwikenobi]

The tale began with the oft-mocked but still-ominous beginning: it was a dark and stormy night.

 

[Snowesque]

Peering into the gloominess, it felt as though he was being watched.

 

[.: Meri :.]

As if to confirm his suspicions, a figure, slowly approaching from the edge of the woods, began to take shape in the rain.

 

[LambdaDelta]

seeing the figure come into greater clarity, vask could now clearly tell that it was his old friend, wix.

 

[Xara]

For a brief moment, Vask felt relieved, until he noticed that something about Wix was… off.

 

[jiny]

vask noticed wix was oddly distorted in an unnatural way, almost making him look stranger than he already does ..

 

[Snowesque]

His otherwise curly smile was now a curly frown.

 

[LambdaDelta]

unsure of what to do and in an attempt to calm his nerves (don't ask), vask decided to at least dub this new distorted flipped-mouth version of wix m!x

 

[kiwikenobi]

Then M!x opened his vertically-flipped mouth, and he spoke thusly:

 

[.: Meri :.]

"Why, friend, does your mouth curl upwards so?"

 

[Mokuren]

The words coming from M!x mouth where high pitched and sent chills down the spine, nothing like his usual self.

 

[BetsySundrop]

While contemplating whether to answer the odd question, to challenge this M!x, or simply run away, Vask noticed that the hands of the creature (for surely this could not be his old friend Wix) were also very strange.

 

[Xara]

His fingers were much lengthier than normal, gnarled at the middle like old tree branches, the tips of them bathed in what looked to be a mixture of dirt and dried blood.

 

[digimon]

Suddenly, M!x's branch-like hands and arms started to grow even longer, spreading out further and further.

 

[LambdaDelta]

'are these even limbs!?!?' vask thought frantically, while the terrifying appendages spread all across and begun ripping apart and destroying everything in the entire known universe around him

 

[Aquilla]

When M!x opened his curled mouth again, a sequence of gargles and screeches escaped his lips - fragments of words that didn’t seem to make sense together.

 

[BetsySundrop]

Vask backed quickly away from M!x, staying out of reach of the awful claws, and whipped out his phone and began recording the mysterious screeches coming from M!x.

 

[KittenNoir]

Vask stood there filming as he watched M!x start to lift into the sky as the loud screeches continued.
