Lonely Hide and Seek (Tokiko)

What? I got the name from the Shuuen no Shiori Project you say? Pff- Yeah I did.

Lonely Hide and Seek, more commonly known as One Man Hide and Seek but lonely sounds better, is a method of contacting wandering spirits by allowing them to possess a doll's body. If A-ya has taught me anything, this is a dangerous ritual. It could end badly, so follow the instructions to the T. Got it? Note: Anything in these [abc] can vary depending on what's in them instead of the ABC. E.g [Your name] will be your name in there rather than actually saying "Why hello your name!" it would be "Why hello Tokiko!" in my case, at least. That was just for those who don't get it below.

If you want to read the stuff without my bad jokes, probably clearer instructions and a creepy vibe, go here. If you get scared easily and need constant little bits of humour or just want to know the gist of it, you might just want to scroll down.

You'll need the following:

  • A stuffed doll. It doesn't matter what the doll looks like, if it's of a person or an animal, whatever, it just needs limbs. I'd suggest a doll that you really don't like. Seriously, you aren't gonna want to use it again
  • Enough rice to fill the doll.
  • A needle along with one crimson thread.
  • Nail clippers.
  • Some kind of sharp tool. A-ya from Shuuen no Shiori (The Bookmark of Demise) used a craft knife. A glass shard or scissors (large, bloody, rusted sewing scissors from Heavenly Host Elementary are preferable. THAT WAS A JOKE) would be fine too. Really, anything with a sharp edge will do.
  • A cup of (preferably natural) salt water.
  • A bathroom with a bathtub and a counter of some kind.
  • A hiding place (hey, it is hide and seek). There needs to be a TV in there. No questions asked.
How to do this:
  1. Take out the stuffing of your teddy or whatever. Replace it with the rice. This is supposed to represent innards but it attracts ghosties, too. As you can tell, this ritual is a very happy and innocent ritual that won't hurt a fly.
  2. Using the nail clipper, clip your nails (surprise, surprise) and let them join their rice friends in the doll. Sew it up with the needle and thread (plot twist!) and, when you've done sewing it, tie the doll up with the rest of the thread. This represents a blood vessel and it seals spirits inside your dolly. Again, very pleasant.
  3. Fill your bath with water. Don't take your clothes off and jump in unless your name is Haruka Nanase and you are the protagonist of Free! Iwatobi swim club. Or if it's quarter to nine (Look at the time: it's quarter to nine! Time to have a bath. "But what do you mean? We're already clean!" Scrub scrub scrub 'til the water's BROWN. (It's from Don't Hug Me I'm Scared 2, you uncultured swines that didn't recognise that.)) AGAIN. THOSE WERE JOKES.
  4. Put the salt water cup in your hiding place for Nemo. He's playing hide and seek with Marlin, so be nice. MY HUMOUR AGAIN.
  5. Give your doll a name. It can be anything from Snuggle Bunnykins to Ultra Emo Deathinator, but it can't be your name.
  6. At 3 in the morning, you must say "[Your name] is the first to be it." to Mr. Bunnykins three times.
  7. Put poor Mr.Bunnykins in the water filled (control yourself, Haruka) bathtub. Chances are, your teddy will be wet after putting him in the water. If you don't want to put Mr.Bunnykins through this, don't do the ritual. It's dangerous to stop half way through, after all.
  8. Switch off all the lights in your house. Seriously. Every single light. Even if they're name is Yagami. They must be switched off. Then go back to your crib (hiding place, whatever you want to call it) and turn the telly on. If you're lucky, you might get to watch a bit of The Simpsons. That was another pitiful attempt at humour. I apologise.
  9. Count to ten with your eyes closed. You might be playing it by yourself, but you're still playing hide and seek. Then go back to the bathroom with your sharp thingy majig.
  10. Go to the tub and tell Mr.Bunnykins this: "I have found you, [Doll's name]." You have to stab poor Mr.Bunnykins with your sharp whatever, now. How awful would you feel? You just gave the guy a name and now you're stabbing him. Join the campaign for teddy abuse now! ...I'm sorry for my bad jokes. This probably doesn't sound creepy at all, right? Anyway, doing this will cut the thread and it will release the spirits you trapped earlier.
  11. Say "You are the next it, [Doll's name]." and take it out of the bath and onto the counter which I said needed to be in your bathroom at the start but you probably overlooked. The second you put Mr.Bunnykins down, run like you're Sonic to wherever your hiding place is. When you get there, hide.
  12. In your hiding place, pour half of the salt water into your mouth. If you swallow it, you'll get really thirsty and that's not what you're supposed to do anyway, so just keep it in your mouth. If you bit your tongue or lip and you've still got a wound when you do this, then I feel very sorry for you. After all, it's dangerous to stop half way. 
  13. With the salt water in your mouth, go and look for Mr.Bunnykins. The scary thing is, he might not be in the bathroom anymore.... OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo.... Anyway, don't spit out the salt water, even if you have a bleeding hole in your mouth. I assume that salt on that wound with hurt quite a bit. Poor thing. If you go out without the salt water, you might find something wandering around. Something that might be wearing a red dress and have long black hair and kind of died sixty one years ago on her seventh birthday(jk, Sa-chan has nothing to do with this). It might harm you in some way.
  14. When you find Mr.Bunnykins, pour the rest of the salt water (as in the salt water that didn't go in your mouth) onto your abused doll. Abuse the doll even further by spitting the rest of your salt water onto the poor thing.
  15. Rub salt in the wound (get it) by telling unfortunate Mr.Bunnykins this three times.: "I win." Once you've done this, you'll never guess what! You just did Lonely Hide and Seek! WHOOOOOOOOP!
With that, the ritual ends. Remember to honour the memory of your poor doll by drying it, burning it and throwing it away.

Other Important Things:
  • Leaving your house before the ritual is over is a no-no.
  • Really, every light in the house. I wasn't exaggerating when I said it earlier.
  • Be like a ninja when you're hiding. Silent. As invisible as the phantom sixth player of the generation of miracles.
  • Putting the salt water in your mouth at the beginning of the ritual is just going to be problematic for when you're talking. Do it when you're told to.
  • Remember Corpse Party BloodDrive: Prologue? When Hinoe Shinozaki got beheaded for the stupid stuff her sister does(I love Ayumi either way but damn girl the book was made of human skin why would you do what it says)? If you live with someone, they might end up in danger even if they aren't involved. Like Hinoe. That was the point I was making.
  • Doing this ritual for more than an hour or two is like being in Heavenly Host. The longer you're there, the more likely you are to die.
  • It might be best to keep the all doors unlocked for an escape route or for outside help if needs be. Keeping a phone on you and friends nearby might be useful too. You know, these happen to contradict a couple of the things above. Keep all doors unlocked (including those leading outside)? Leaving before the ritual is over. Keeping a phone on you? That's not exactly quiet when you're hiding. Having friends at hand? Refer up to Hinoe's case.
