Assuming we get enough people to really make this fun, I'd be in. So, if we do get this off the ground, consider my two, Agents Apecian and Michael, ready for torment! And feel free to throw a dagger or twenty at Apecian's head, folks, or turn him into a newt. He'll get better.

The power has gone out in Medical. The red emergency lights being the only thing to light your way. You are trapped in a seemingly endless maze. You (and your partner, if your writer wants) have yet to encounter another agent, and everything you do encounter are extremely fitting for the date. In fact, you might say you're in a horror movie.
***
This is will be something along the lines of a Horror RP. Instead of interacting with fellow agents, agents interact with whatever the cruel and frankly horrifying things you boarders come up with.
Like so:
Mattman: Agent Matthew looks horrified, slowly moving through the corridors
Matt Cipher: Matthew encounters Bill Cipher.
Mattman: Matthew runs into a room, further horrified.
Iximaz: And then he encounters his own dead body, guts spilling out of his opened stomach.
Mattman: The still alive Matthew let's lose his midnight snack.
Scapegrace: The hurl becomes an eldritch abomination of a Flareon.
Mattman: Matthew's conflicted emotions of 'Cute' and 'What is This I can't comprehend' causes him to flee the room.
And so on and so forth.
Just realized this is a canonical RP, and I therefore don't have permission to participate in it.
Could I participate under canonical quarantine, so I don't affect anything critical, pending Permission?
Or should I just duck out on this one?
I'm offering up the Aviator and Zeb as sacrifices. I mean, volunteers.
T'Kat: Vulcan social-justice activist, now retired. Bitter, but cares despite herself. In a restrained, tempered Vulcan way, of course.
Kebrdo: Basically a chair with feathers. Excitable, anxious, fond of puns.
Do your worst to them.
--Key has no Permission, so this obviously will not be canon.
Cool idea, though. Let me know if there's a "regular" Halloween party RP and I'll be all over that.
Maz and Yocherry, post-death cockroach in denial and glib half-fungus respectively, are up for the spooking.
I'll be gone on (AEDT timezone) Thursday and Friday, though, so if I don't reply on those days, don't assume Friday the Thirteenth has killed me with his knife-glove, or anything like that.
I think I'd personally prefer to do it as a prompted story rather than an RP. So, guys, throw your creepy ideas at me, and I'll use some or all of them to torment Agent Derik. I'll make it a goal to finish by Halloween. {= D

Or on the T-Board?
Otherwise I'll never have time to get anything written. {= )
Of course, if people don't want to indulge my whims, that's fine. I just figured, since the agents in Medical aren't going to run into each other anyway, it wouldn't hurt to do the thing a little differently.

Derik encounters strange, overly-complex machines and machinery throughout the halls. Everywhere he goes, he can hear a faint whirring and clicking.
Spooks probably happen at some point.
That work as a prompt, or the sort you were after? Tried keeping it vague, and all.
I am very interested in seeing how this gets interpreted...
I don't have the creepiest mindset, but I'll do my best. (I'm also assuming that 'creepy and open-ended' is more interesting to write from than 'AND THEN THERE WERE GUTS AND THEN THERE WAS A SCREAMING MONSTER AND AND'.)
-Every door closes behind him about 8 seconds after he steps through. All of them.
-A room where the lights don't work, and there is something in the middle which he has to work his way past.
-An overhead duct drips with sticky black fluid. There is a ventilation grille a few feet further along.
-A massively scarred figure which precisely mirrors his every move. (Yes, I think I'm ripping off Tomb Raider at this point.)
-A reddish moss covers every surface in the room. It's impossible to tell what all the lumps on the floor are...
-A roomful of bats. Bats everywhere. So many bats. They're all sleeping... for now.
-A perfectly lovely, perfectly empty white room, lit by a fluorescent light that isn't even flickering. The far door stands invitingly open. This is the only room where the door in doesn't shut behind him.
-A list of names pinned to a wall, written in what looks alarmingly like blood, all in different handwriting. Halfway down is his name - in his own hand.
-A rough-cut tunnel enters the corridor on one side, and leaves a little further down on the other. It is pitch black inside.
That the sort of thing you're looking for?
hS
And just when I thought I was gonna get off the hook, too. ^_^;
This is great stuff, though, both of you. I think the well-lit white room is the creepiest of the lot. Thanks!

Those without permission can join, and choose to make this experience canon once they get permission.
That being said, everyone can choose to make it canon for individual agents, as all agents involved should be kept separate.
