In New York City 1928, Hotel Werneccions was engulfed in a tragic fire where many guests staying there perished. The hotel was abandoned ever since, but it has recently been built back up, and it is now more busy than ever. New guests enjoy a comfortable stay with up-to-date technologies and the original hotel owner's granddaughter, Abigail Werneccions taking care of the hotel. The new, pristine ceilings are held up by sturdy pillars and parallel sleek marble floors. Everyone is chattering and buzzing about this new and exciting hotel.

However, the memory of the fire still lingers. The ghosts of the people who were killed in the fire still wander the halls of the hotel as soon as twilight begins. They are all friendly, but surely someone will notice these strange, semi-transparent guests?

Here is the OOC thread!

It was almost getting dark, and Leona had parked herself in the walls on the lobby level of the hotel, waiting for her next victim.

After what felt like forever, somebody finally came out of the pool area. It was a middle-aged man, his hair slicked with water, and wrapping himself in a towel so he wouldn't walk about the hotel lobby only wearing swimming trunks.

Leona made sure to time it perfectly. She waited until he was almost at the end of the hallway and about to go into the lobby to shout as loud as she could without being a disturbance.

"Hey, sir, your towel's falling!" Leona stifflled a giggle as she watched the man panic and scramble to cover himself with the towel, thinking it was exposing him. Leona quickly disappeared back into the walls, laughing so hard she almost became opaque again.

"I admit, this was great!" Jackie smirked, watching the whole thing from the wall. Although she usually spent her time wandering the corridors and listening to the gossip of the guests or exploring the nooks and crannies of the hotel, she would never miss one of Leona's pranks. She nodded appreciatively at the ghost of younger-looking girl and the hotel bellboy's cap slid down her forehead.

Meanwhile, on the 4th floor, Ryouji listened in on a couple talking to each other in a familiar language.
"ねえねえ、ここ心霊スポットで有名だというけど知ってた?(Hey, did you know that this place is apparently famous for having alot of ghost sightings?)"
"マジ? こんなに綺麗なとこだけど...(Really? In a place that's this fancy?)"
"ネットでめっちゃネタにもなったけどね、あんたホント何も知らない?(It was all over the Japanese internet recently, don't you know anything?)
Unable to stop his mischievous self, and unable to not seize this great opportunity, the young ghost sneaked into their bathroom and began writing something on the mirror with tomato sauce. After he was finished, he turned on the shower and quickly hid himself where he could see their reaction.
"めっちゃん、シャワー閉じなかった?水聞こえる。(Meiko, did you not turn off the shower? I still hear water running.)"
"いえ、ちゃんとチェックしたけど。(Huh? what do you mean, I definitely turned it off.)"
"なら、チェックして来るわ。(I'll go check then.)" The boyfriend said, getting up from the bed they were sitting on and going into the bathroom.
"うゎ!(Aah!)" he screamed, as soon as he looked in the mirror.
The girlfriend rushed into the bathroom to see what was wrong.
Then, they both saw it: the words 'オレはずっと見ている(I see you)' written in big red all over the mirror.
Ryouji was silently laughing to himself, trying not to give away his hiding position. He has been doing pranks like these for a long time, but it's been a while since he was able to write something and scare people in Japanese.
He rushed down to tell Leona, who was like a big sister to him, what he accomplished.

Jackie wasn't really surprised when Ryouji whizzed past her. And even though she was not only a minor but also a ghost, if she could, she would have bet twenty dollars that he was going to see Leona. Two of the younger looking ghosts had been friends since long time ago...although talking about what was "long ago" was not Jackie's strong point.
She contemplated for a moment looking at the blank wall with (in her opinion) horrible wallpaper, wondering what to do with the rest of the day. She could go back to Leona and Ryouji and watch the disaster from afar (because how else could it turn out if two lovers of pranks meet at a spot?)
Another of her favorite activities was eavesdropping on guests. Even as a hotel attendant, she loved to listen to other hotel employees' gossip about guests and guests' gossip about hotel employees.
She ran her hand through her messy bangs and pursed her lips as she always did when she was thinking about something. Who knows, maybe she could make a some prank herself...with huge grin she jumped into nearest wall, finding herself in hotel´s owner office.
,,This is going to be fun," she murmured to herself.
