Michelle and Kari, I get easily scared so would you mind if we opt not to have pictures on our thread?

“Ohhh… how adorable.”
Belle tilts her head, her porcelain smile widening.
“Toymaker Lisa, did you see? This team is ever so frightened by a few little pictures.”
She giggles softly.
“Oh, we’re going to have such a lovely time with them… Let’s write them down as Team Fraidy Cat. I’ll make sure the toys play extra nicely with them.”

[MN Lisa, Mistress of Mayhem with a Method]

oh for sure. I've made that note for the toys. 🤪🙀

[MN Lisa, Mistress of Mayhem with a Method]

🧸 Guys… I think I’m in trouble.
Belle just visited and she brought Toymaker Donna.

Belle’s voice was all honey and rust.
“Some of them didn’t say if they’re playing solo or with a team,” she murmured, watching me like a cat watches a string.
“How careless. Oh… I love the quiet ones.”

Donna just laughed—low and sharp—and handed her a needle.
I didn’t ask what it was for....I didn’t want to know.

Belle leaned in close. Too close.

“Just assume they want a team,” she told me sweetly. “Most of them said so.
But let them correct you if you’re wrong…”
She turned to Donna.
“…If they dare.”

The toys stirred. I swear one blinked. And then Belle looked at me—through me.

“Oh, don’t look so innocent, Lisa. You’re the messenger.”She smiled.
“For now.”

So. If I marked you as a team player and that’s not what you meant—speak up.

Quickly.

Before the toys think I forgot to ask.
Before Belle decides I’m ready for… something more. 😶‍🌫️

(still mostly me, I think)

🪆 Belladonna Belle Creeps Onto the Stage…

🎀 Taps glass with a porcelain finger 🎀
Ahem, attention my little toy collectors, puzzle solvers, and haunted object hoarders…

It’s me, Belladonna Belle—your favorite (and only) haunted doll hostess—and I’ve decided the usual notice board simply isn’t spooky enough for my taste.

So I’m taking matters into my own tiny, cracked hands.
From now on, all my devious little announcements, challenges, and “accidental” curse updates will be posted in my very own thread.

📜 Why?
Because some of you claim you “missed” my last summons.
You can’t miss this one.
You wouldn’t dare.

So tiptoe into the thread, read what I have to say, and for the love of unblinking stares—don’t ignore it. Dolls have long memories.

[Richard]

Oh mods...I love how quirky you are

[HOB, ALL HOB MODS]

Richard, darling…
I’m ever so pleased you’re enjoying yourself. Truly, I am.
But… giggle …things aren’t quite the same as last year’s little clown fiasco.

You see, one particular team waltzed through that challenge far too easily.
Tsk, tsk. We simply can’t have that, can we?

So I’ve stirred up something special this time… something that will touch everyone.
They may thank this team for the little… complication I’ve arranged.

If you’re curious (and you should be), the details are waiting for you on the Ouija Board.
Go on, dearest—place your fingers on the planchette… and see what I’ve spelled out for you.

[danielle]

I'd like to join! We have 3 for a competitive team, with pictures!

Jessica and Dede should be joining soon.

[Dede]

[Jessica]

Count me in with Danielle and Dede!

Y'all ain't right!! 😂😂

[HOB, ALL HOB MODS]

“Darling, if we were ‘right,’ none of this would be nearly as fun.
Besides… the Toy Chest told me it prefers its keepers delightfully crooked.”

[Kelly (Maybedog)]

I'd like to be a backup player for a competitive team please. Thank!

[MN Lisa, Mistress of Mayhem with a Method]

The toys don’t like an empty chair, Kelly. One player slipped away, and they whispered your name instead.

Welcome, Kelly. You’ve been claimed. The circle is closed again, and you’re inside it now.

Smile while you can. Replacements rarely get a gentle start. 😉

—Toymaker Lisa

[Kelly (Maybedog)]

Oh dear, I've been claimed? That sounds scary. And cool. :)

Did they say which team?

[Sarah]

Hi! Can I do the open-ended one?

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

Sarah wrote: "Hi! Can I do the open-ended one?"

I am assuming you would like to play as a solo player. I have set up a thread for you.

[Aiswrya]

If you need a backup player, I would love to be on a competitive team please. Thanks!

[Elizabeth]

can I join? either as a back up if needed or individual if there's no need for back up . I'm good with competitive or not.

Please join team Haunted Hobby Horses

I can place you as an individual player and you can play immediately. If a spot opens up on a competitive team, we can reassess at that point.

[Elizabeth]

Sounds good! thank you(:

[Amanda]

is it too late to join this for competitive? 😅

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

Unfortunately, yes. We are only taking backups, noncompetitive team (needs 3 players) and individual noncompetitive players.

[Amanda]

Donna wrote: "Unfortunately, yes. We are only taking backups, noncompetitive team (needs 3 players) and individual noncompetitive players."

okay, no worries - I figured it probably was. I'll be sure to join the next team one!

[Amanda]

oh actually, if a noncompetitve team needs a player, i'd be happy to join!

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

Can i resign up as an individual non competitive player?

[RachelG.]

Can I please sign up to do an individual challenge in addition to continuing with my group?

[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

I am not sure if we are allowing people to do individual at the same time as a team right now. Let us think about it and get back to you.
