October Event: Feeling Like a Ghost (Part I)

OCTOBER EVENT: FEELING LIKE A GHOST
Who: Anyone and everyone
What: Your past returns to haunt you
When: October 10th and onward
Where: All over!
Warnings: Character death, as well as potential for discussion of trauma and suicide ideation - please mark as you go!
Try and Hear Me, Then I'm Done

You can find most of the information you need in the OOC info post! In the meantime, feel free to use this log as a catch-all for the duration of the event. While this log will focus on the past portion, you're free to use it for the future portion. As always, you can also make your own logs if that's your preference! Come the 21st, however, we'll likely get an additional log up for those who want to play around with their future echoes as well. Remember also that the present portion will be played out in Mu, during this month's Storytelling.

Remember to let us know if your character dies during this event. Bear in mind, however: death penalties will NOT be reduced for this event.

[They can't go like this.

That fact is sinking in now. At this rate, maybe the Pale King will disappear again, before they can reach their destination. He appeared so suddenly, how can they know he'll stay?

Their sibling... Their sibling doesn't understand. And they don't want to understand, it seems. They keep insisting and insisting. And it's not getting anywhere. Don't they understand that?

They're not just holding them back, they're outright becoming an obstacle. And that realization sparks something in them. Feelings that are... theirs and not theirs, at the same time. Echoes of something long gone, but keep something inside yourself long enough, and things just... rub off on you.

That feeling of anger mixes with their forced cold apathy into something ugly, yet efficient. And everything happens too quickly for even the Hollow Knight themselves to fully realize.

Their sibling is grabbing their shoulder. The Hollow Knight's hand is on their nail. And the nail is driven forwards.]
