now you’re messin’ with a + POLTERGEIST - toboggan - 10-05-2018

+ tl;dr - a poltergeist, a violent ghost that can toss around objects (and characters) emerged from wendell’s houseboat, destroying a hefty amount of his belongings before fleeing. though slightly wounded, wendell starts pursuing the force, essentially making this thread a big chase scene. feel free to powerplay the poltergeist in any way, may it be breaking objects, hurting your character, or anything in-between.
Before, Wendell had laughed at some recent stories concerning paranormal apparitions terrorizing a few of Sunhaven’s inhabitants. Surely, no such things existed, and one must have been under the influence of some pretty heavy narcotics to think so.
Now, the mustelid was wishing for a playful spirit or even a vengeful phantom.
It was about sunset when Wendell decided to settle down for the night. His stomach was full from a hearty meal of battered fish, which he had cooked, and he found his way outside to admire the sky’s dancing hues of fire, for it was perhaps one of the last times to do so preceding the cold winter ahead. A sepia bottle of Indian pale ale rested to his right, that which he’d occasionally sip from time time whilst his mahogany bulbs fixated on the vibrantly-painted atmosphere. This was how the hearthkeeper’s evenings went about nowadays; roistering in relaxation. It was how he wished to live, in peace, away from life’s problems, with a handful of good friends to count on and keep you out of trouble. So far, Wendell had luck finding all but the last ingredient, which was an inconvenience to him as a couple of buddies was all he really desired right now.
Peace was a bittersweet thing. Peace was a sense of tranquility which provided shelter from life’s problems. Yet, peace also prevented you from living life on the edge and experiencing a lasting impression of exhilaration that could not be tasted by those of Wendell’s fancy. Tonight, the repose of waves gently colliding against each other and the sea wind was greatly appreciated. The hypothetical soup that these ingredients of white noise cooked had produced a flavour which, to a degree, gave off a twang of nirvana. Here was perfection. Here was where one could claim sanctuary. Here was -
CRASH!
"Wha’s that?" the low-pressure wolverine exclaimed intensely.
CRACK! CLATTER! CLANG!
A slew of thunderous sounds that seemed a lot like furniture and mementos meeting their maker had arisen from the interior of his houseboat. Had someone broken in? Peering through the screen door provided the knowledge of his cellar door laying ajar, with the source of the booms and bangs reverberating from within. That room held all his ale and spirits, some of which were priceless rarities and oddities! ”Ge’outta there!” Wendell demanded in anguish, reluctant to look upon the destruction this unknown force had caused. Unbeknownst to him, his order only chafed the phantom even more, causing the spectre to reveal itself as a whirlwind of dust, broken bottles and the liquid contents inside, crumbs, and two glowing eyes levitating where the head on a humanoid being would be. Without warning, it charged at the defenceless mustelid, throwing him about two metres out the door (as the poor creature feebly fretted, screaming terms like ”Gerroff me!” and so forth), before the poltergeist decided to dash off in an unknown direction. A migraine soon enveloped his head, causing Wendell to wince - yet he persevered and began chase on the visitor, whom had already found another area to terrorize.
This thing was going down. If that was even physically possible. For all Wendell knew, the Ghostbusters were just make-believe.

Re: now you’re messin’ with a + POLTERGEIST - guts - 10-07-2018
She certainly didn't believe in the paranormal herself. They were just make-believe, only existing in scary stories or tales used to scare children to bed. She herself didn't believe even half the accounts people were telling of run-ins with ghosts recently. She was the kind to believe things when she saw it for herself. Today, it seemed, she would get exactly that.
The yelling and sounds of wreckage was what lured her over, unsure what she would find, though a poltergeist wasn't on the list. She expected some drunkard on a rage, or maybe even their rival clan or whatever causing havoc. But she comes in just enough time to see Wendell being thrown from his little abode, the wolf frozen in place as she realizes that there was nothing inside. Nothing living, anyways. For a moment she thinks she's hallucinating, watching the approaching gust of debris flying towards her, but she's quickly proven wrong when it slams into her and knocks her off her paws.
Ymir grunts as she falls to the ground, landing hard on her side. She looks around, dazed, still unsure of what happened. "What the hell was that?" she asks, half towards Wendell and half towards no one in particular. So maybe she was wrong about ghosts and shit.
