12:19 am - ITEMS LIST
jigoku_mod: (Default)
The items listed here can all be found in the apartments or when wandering about the town. They range from the uncommon to the extremely rare and most are difficult to find. In some updates, we will say where some may be acquired.

RED TAPE - Red tape is your saving grace in the apartments. You wake up with one 50mm x 50m roll of it and are encouraged to use it sparingly but effectively. It will prevent ghosts from entering areas you have taped up. This is an extremely rare commodity in the game. You are very unlikely to have more than one roll on you at a time, unless you purposefully steal one from another resident.

CINNAMON CANDY - This candy is often a 'thank you' from the ghosts. It has no supernatural powers, but the taste is pretty unmistakable. Finding yourself waking up with some on your person or with the taste of it in your mouth may mean that you are up for some interesting experiences.

THE NOH MASK: The mask was originally owned by an actor in the fifteenth century. He was well-known for his roles as human men who through action turned into demons and vengeful spirits. He died in the middle of one of his performances and the mask that he was wearing was declared cursed. It was hidden away for hundreds of years. It eventually came into the possession of the apartment building's original owner. He mocked the curse by putting the mask on.

Later that night, he entered the apartment building and slaughtered several of the tenants on the first floor before disappearing.

FOX STATUES - These statues vary in size and can be found all through Jigoku, but are carefully hidden and will only be revealed during certain events. Giving them to the fox spirit at the shrine may make good things come your way.

ARCADE TOKENS - Can be found around the apartments. Will allow you to play the games in the arcades. They're not exactly common, but certainly more plentiful than the other things in the list.

ARCADE PRIZES - Can be won at the arcade. Give them to the ghostly children you meet. They may help you out in difficult encounters in return. Up to three can be kept on someone's person at one time; four or more will cause incredibly bad luck in the form of more violent spiritual encounters.

CORN - Found in the grocery store. Can be fed to the Crows to make them want to help you.

JIGOKUBERRIES - The handheld smartphones that everyone wakes up with. They connect to the apartment's intranet and can make text, audio, and video calls up to it. Handy for mobile contact. Characters may find replacement ones in empty apartments or in some areas of the town.

COMPUTERS - Everyone has a laptop or a desktop with a webcam, keyboard, headset, and mouse in their apartments. Most are middle range and not exceptional machines. They have information, games, and data on them - think unwiped harddrives. More importantly, they can be used to make easier posts of video, audio or text data, and also allow for a drawing program to be used when uploading to the intranet. Other computers may be found in certain areas such as the library, police station, and homes in the town. The legible ones here will almost always have something worthwhile to read on them.

SHOES - These shoes will always appear as your heart's desire. They appear when you're alone - a pair of nice pumps you never thought you'd be able to afford, or those desperately-needed new sneakers after weeks of running around in muck around the town. However they appear, they are enticing. Should you take them for yourself though, be aware that they have a rather nasty history... and eventually, a former owner may return to collect them.

SALT - Salt is an extremely rare commodity in Jigoku; possibly even rarer than the the red tape. It is one of the only surefire ways to purify an area. In the unlikely event that you find some, hang onto it. You don't know when you might need it most. It also doubles as a condiment but your fellow trapped souls may kill you if you use it that way, even if it does make the food less bland.

While you can expect to see the white-robed, black-haired spooks native to most J-Horror films, there are a few ghosts that are distinct from the general mass of angry, vengeful souls. We'll detail them here, as well as the more common ghosts too.

+ Onryō - Your typical black haired, pale skinned, white-robed spooks. They are just about everywhere and can be expected to be encountered at all times. Driven to hurt and distinctly malevolent, you're going to want to keep your red tape on you at all times in case you need to seal up an area from all of them.

+ Yurei - Strictly speaking, all Japanese spirits are Yurei, but here we will use them to mean the spirits identical to Onryō but peaceful. Yurei are likely to be spotted everywhere and may cluster and sap energy and heat, but they don't mean you harm like the violent spirits do.

+ Nekomata - A large cat with a forked tail that haunts the fourth floor of the apartments. While it might walk on all fours, it can also comfortably walk on its hind legs and even fly. It may enter unsealed fourth-floor apartments to eat sleeping inhabitants, and will chase people down the corridor to the lift or stairwell.

+ The Crows - Found all over the place. They will alight on window frames, rooftops, walls, branches of trees - anywhere - and croak loudly from time to time. They generally save as an advance warning of a monster or spook appearing, and have been known to help people when dealing with the scarecrow or the Teke Teke... if they've given them corn from the store, that is.

+ Wallfaders - Appear to be nothing more than a water stain on the wall or ceiling that wasn't there before. But the stain spreads. Walk too close to it and a pair of chalk white arms will manifest and pull you against the wall, holding you there until someone breaks you free of them or you're able to break free on your own. Having red tape on your doors and windows won't keep them out.

+ Woman under the bed - The ghost of a former apartment tenant who was murdered but tried to hide from her abusive lover underneath the bed. Her spirit is trapped in those terrifying last moments. She can appear in any apartment, but always late at night, shaking the bed from underneath and waking the sleeper. She sees the face of her murderer in anyone brave enough to peek under the bed, and will attempt to claw at their faces in an attempt to protect herself.

+Plumber's Nightmare - Finding strands of long black hair in the drains is a common (almost daily) occurrence. Fill the tub or sink too full of water and you'll realize why. A female ghost who looks like countless others in the apartment with white skin and long black hair. She won't go away until the water that she crawled out of is drained. She'll try to drown you in the water if she gets her claws into you. Use caution.

+Ryo - One of the few ghosts who won't seek to hurt you. Ryo is the spirit of a Japanese boy, around the age of six. He'll never try to enter an apartment uninvited, but he will follow you through the hallways. Whenever he passes a window, he'll pause and look in the direction of the hospital. It's believed that he died there, but chose to return to the apartments where he and his family once lived. He has a fondness for females and "Nee-san" is one of the few words that he ever actually speaks.

+Shadow People - Ghosts that take the shape of apartment tenants, but only the shape. They're like a solid black silhouette, making them sometimes unrecognizable. The only features they posses are their eyes, which they will open wide and suddenly. To look into one's eyes will make you feel ice cold, terrified, and sick at your stomach. They're the most potent at night, when everything is in shadow.

+Kuchisake-onna - The Slit Mouth Woman. She is randomly encountered when walking around the town. Wearing a surgical mask, she will approach people and ask them if she is pretty. She will continue to repeat the question and continuously appear in front of people who do not answer with 'yes' or 'no'. When answered, she will rip off the mask to reveal a mouth that has been slit open to the ears and still dripping blood. "How about now?", she'll ask, brandishing a pair of scissors. Answer 'yes' and she'll slit your mouth from ear to ear. Answer 'no' and she'll plunge the scissors into your throat. She cannot be run from and will appear in front of people if they turn away from her. Answering 'you're average' might puzzle her but... do you really want to risk it?

+Teke Teke - A woman who has had her legs traumatically severed from her body. Encountered randomly around the town, but sometimes in apartment rooms. She will crawl at amazing speeds towards a person when she has caught sight of them with the intent of cutting them in half with a scythe. Named for the tell-tale sound her clattering elbows make on the ground - tek tek, tek tek...

+Tenome - The ghost of an old beggar man who, blind in life, was robbed and killed one night. In death, he has grown eyes on his hands and walks with them outstretched, looking for his murderer. Unfortunately, he has no idea what they look like, and will attack anyone he sees. Tenome is ecountered randomly in the town and never the apartments.

+Ghost Children - Sullen, quiet spirits who will watch you with accusatory, empty eyes as you walk through the town. Give them a toy from the arcade, and they'll help you get away from Tenome or the Slit Mouth Woman.

+The Fox Spirit - Elusive and sly, the fox spirit of the shrine doesn't often appear to people. She's just as likely to tease you, hurt you, or help you out. Bring her a gift and she might behave more kindly towards you.

+Jorōgumo - The madam of the love hotel. She's very charming and easy to trust. Enter her premises, though, and run the risk of being a snack for her.

With the exception of the Fox Spirit and the Jorōgumo, who will be played by mods if needed, please feel free to feature these creatures anywhere in your posts!
