Night of the Living Dead
A YWS Tagbook
Spooktober 2019
Starting Note: Tagbooks are a special kind of storybook. Instead of making a character profile, the character you write for is yourself - and other members of the site! Your goal is to tag as many users as you possibly can in your posts, while also telling a story. In this case, you're telling the story of the Great YWS Halloween Adventure. Tagbooks are usually wacky, random and filled with fourth wall breaks - if you're lucky enough to be tagged, or just want to pop in with a post of your own, you're in for a treat!
( Here's an old tagbook, if you're still confused. )
And now, let the story began.
xXx
Mage couldn't remember the last time she had taken part in something like this. It had to have at least been a year ago, or possibly longer - the last great YWS get together that she remembered was a traumatic one involving @TheSilverFox and buses. Or maybe it wasn't. It had been long enough that she was starting to question if bringing up speaking in third person instead of first person was something she needed to bring up for the newer members of YWS, or if it was something that could just go unsaid. She decided it was the second option that made the most sense - after all, she didn't want to spend her entire night internally debating the art of writing.
Because it had been so long since the last time everyone had gotten together, Mage made sure to scan the crowd for any familiar faces. She saw @soundofmind was working on a song over in the corner, @Featherstone was with her very impressive bird and Mage's brother @Sheyren was preaching about his transdimensional overlord llama god to the users that strayed a little too close to him.
But she also saw some newer faces, too. An experienced veteran of things like this, Mage decided it was her duty to welcome them to the soon to arrive chaos. She didn't know what the chaos was going to be, but exploring a haunted mansion on its own was a recipe for disaster. Add in the trend of things like this quickly getting out of hand, and all Mage could do was hope for the best.
She slipped through the crowd and made her way over to @TheMulticoloredCyr, @Liberty and @FlamingPhoenix. Liberty and Phoenix were discussing the fine arts of reviewing, while Cyr was on the ground making a very magnificent castle out of cardboard.
"...Where did you get that cardboard?"
"You know," Cyr replied, clearly distracted by gluing things together. She waved a stray piece of cardboard around as she talked. "Can you pass me the glue?"
"Uh, sure," Mage managed to get out. After handing over a glue stick, she decided that Cyr was occupied as it was - she didn't need to distract her by offering her very wise words of wisdom.
She scanned the crowd again.
Finding another thankfully set of familiar faces, she joined @SirenCymbaline on the front steps of the mansion.
"This is going to be a crazy night," Mage offhandedly commented.
Siren gave a nod, hoisting a bag of ghost hunting supplies she had borrowed from @ChristenedPages onto her shoulder. "At least it won't be as crazy as Vodquila."
"You never know," Mage said. She was glad to finally dispense some wisdom. "Nights like this can get crazy-and, uh, I already said that, didn't I? Ignore that last part."
She paused and looked around again.
"...Have you seen @Omnom, by the way?" she asked.
"He's probably working on the YWS Universe," @ScarlettFire suddenly said from beside her, her arms laden with her very troublesome cat.
Mage jumped in surprise, then regained her cool.
"I don't know," she said. "I hope he is. If he's not, I think he might be coming up with a villain for tonight, and I'm not sure we can defeat a villain of that caliber."
