yeah alright-- fair criticism; the execution been particularly tom-cruise-mission-impossible. to no real surprise, the killer rounds the corner into this blood-slicked bathroom they’d trapped themselves in--can tell by the movement of light, the low breathing behind a mask. footsteps near silent--the way the ghostface had killed the others before they had even let go of the generator. instinct would press them as far back into the locker as possible, stifle breath--but they know better by now than to expect mercy.
“wow,” more of a breath than an expression. “just like middle school,” comes deadpan echo from within the locker. admittedly, this was comically stupid--considering the circumstances. you heard two screams, two instances of the starless sky opening up to swallow your friends. so that leaves two; whatever, you’re probably next. might as well commit to the bit. naturally, you do what you always do--you start talking.
“y-yeah, well.” tips chin up just so in the dark space, like there’s any dignity to be regained from this predicament. “i’m embarrassed for your party city costume every day, but my mom raised me to mind my fucking business--”
bad plans come so easily to you. if this guy wanted to get close enough to breathe on you, who are you to deny him a good time? teeth sink into cheek. heel of shoe and elbow catch all the force against the locker door as they throw their weight. adrenaline burst and nerves and they’re not sure whether the door has impacted with anything when they come stumbling out.
𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐈𝐃 𝐒𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐓, the dirt beneath his boots having absorbed pool after pool of blood. gore forms a treacherous sludge - his trials rife with savagery. two survivors remain and merely a single generator hopelessly rumbles and clunks. desperation is thick in the air, he can feel their morale slipping into the surrounding void.
in his peripheral, ghostface notices the door of a locker open and close. lips curve, laced with a particular bitterness because 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚢 𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚔𝚗𝚘𝚠 𝚋𝚎𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛 𝚝𝚑𝚊𝚗 𝚝𝚘 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚔 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚢 𝚌𝚊𝚗 𝚑𝚒𝚍𝚎 𝚏𝚛𝚘𝚖 𝚑𝚒𝚖. 𝐇𝐄’𝐒 𝐍𝐎 𝐅𝐎𝐎𝐋. fearless, he’ll gut them while their screams ring pleasantly in his ears. his footsteps are silent, closing in on the survivor. shadowy cloak appears first in front of the door and he brings his mask into view through the slits he knows they can see him through.
“ I’m embarrassed for you. of all the places t’ hide … I almost wanna let you try again. ”

𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐒 : HAL GRADY.
𝐋𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐑 𝟎𝟎𝟏 : 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐎𝐔𝐓𝐒𝐈𝐃𝐄 .
NAME : henry ‘hal’ grady.
EYE COLOUR : dark brown.
HAIR STYLE / COLOUR : dark brown, thick, somewhere between wavy and curly. usually shoulder-length, uncontrollable and doing big waves all over the place. generally not styled but ends up like a lion’s mane, big swoops of hair and sometimes styled back.
HEIGHT : 5’9”.
CLOTHING STYLE : somewhere between thrift shop bisexual art hoe and florida grandparent. rolled up jeans, big sweaters, patterns, hawaiian shirts, 3 wolf moon shirts unironically, big jackets and windbreakers, sneakers or boots. piercings in lip, brow, and ears. sometimes funky bits of jewelry and the most obnoxious sunglasses they can find.
BEST PHYSICAL FEATURE : hal vc: touch my hair.
𝐋𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐑 𝟎𝟎𝟐 : 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐈𝐍𝐒𝐈𝐃𝐄 .
FEARS : disappearing and people not knowing what happened to them. failure/being a disappointment to the people they care about. rejection/that people won’t like them and their issues when they get past the aloof/funny exterior.
GUILTY PLEASURE : i don’t think hal is super ashamed of what they’re nerdishly into like oh u think mmos are lame bet you wouldn’t say that shit to me at LAN. sorry you hate fun with your friends. u don’t believe in bigfoot? cringe. on a vaguely more serious note? messy choices at parties.
BIGGEST PET PEEVE : someone interrupting their train of thought. it’s the adhd. auditory things also like mouth noises and too many people talking around them.
AMBITIONS FOR THE FUTURE : this is a hilarious one. but they eventually find their niche in chaotic vigilante journalism and vlogging.
𝐋𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐑 𝟎𝟎𝟑 : 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐒 .
FIRST THOUGHTS WAKING UP : weighing the pros and cons of going to class.

LIE : yeah, small ones about themselves sometimes. they usually don’t lie when it’s important or about things they believe.
BELIEVE IN THEMSELVES : to some degree, like a hubris degree. but also they absolutely don’t. they are a self-assigned sidekick character they refuse to put worth in themselves.
BELIEVE IN LOVE : maybe lowkey.
WANT SOMEONE : yeah but if anyone even treats them nice it’ like wait wait wait i have to go home immediately.
𝐋𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐑 𝟎𝟎𝟔 : 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 …
BEEN ON STAGE : yeah they do small shitty gigs with their band.
DONE DRUGS : yeah we have definitely had fun at parties. not used recreationally outside of those settings too often though. weed more likely but they don’t actually like to be brain hazy.
CHANGED WHO THEY WERE TO FIT IN : not really. they can kind of chameleon in a party setting, and are capable of wearing a lot of masks, but for the most part they do not give a fuck if you think they’re weird. they know this and they are still going to wear the hawaiian shirts.
𝐋𝐀𝐘𝐄𝐑 𝟎𝟎𝟕 : 𝐅𝐀𝐕𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐒 .
