So yeah. Thanks to CharonTheHand, TwistedGears, Sophia Light, LlamaNumbers, theworstninja, JackIII, and Logan Armstrong for giving this looks in chat or the forum. This one is definitely odd and not something I really ever expected to write when I joined but I'm glad it happened. Enjoy™.
E: Massive thanks to Faminepulse for the picture! Individual credits for source materials for the image can be seen in his post below.
When I saw the
"100% MORE SPOOKY!"
I thought "THE PUNNENING IS HERE"
It's just bizarre enough to tip it over the edge of ambivalence into tentative upvote.
I like this quite a bit, and it has a bunch of subtle hooks built in. Like where is Original Ghost™? Just how many Acquisition Protocols are there? And how did poor H██ T████ guzzle down two whole cans before ???? happened to him?
+All the upvotes.
I feel like the effects could be described with more clinical terms, but this could really be the next Moth Helm. It's perfectly wacky.
Thanks! I see what you mean about the effect descriptions. Something more along the lines of:
Subject reported audiovisual phenomena (including "hearing [her] name spoken softly," "shadowy figures" at the edges of her vision, and a "flickering of the lights" within the containment chamber that was not corroborated by the recorded footage.)
It's minor tweaks but puts the descriptions into quotes where they feel more natural. It also adds distinction between audiovisual and physiological phenomena.
E: Adjustments made to all trial logs that I believe tighten up the tone and flow overall.
Was pretty good until the organ stealing, then it became great. I especially like the possibility that the new instances are just a marketing ploy. +1

I take it this is the picture my computer didn't let me see in chat?
