ways_back_room | Special Bonus DE: That's our job but we're not mean

As for myself, shadows in a dark room, heights without a rail, earwigs, yellowjackets and clowns. My gore tolerance has gone to the toilet also since I've had a kid.

I'll have to reply later with my other pups as they're not speaking up. Hank is saying something about not carrying number when doing multiplication. I'll be back later; once I get my daughter to school, I have the day off!

For Scorp: Skulls and tombs, apparently!

I find myself only scared of things after watching a scary film/reading a horror story. Like creepy, unexplained noises in a dark room after a movie would have me turning on every light in the house. But, on a normal day? I'd figure it was the cats.

With Amascut it should be obvious by now. Cats. CATS. It sucks that cats used to be her sacred animal.

Myself, I haven't really encountered anything I really feared. At most I am really cautious about certain things, like maybe heights and lack of railings. I will jump at unexpected things, though.

Me: evil ghosts/demons. DO NOT WANT. In fact, regular ghosts too.

Gene: Nothing. Monsters are monsters, and things to be faced down. Supernatural stuff, he doesn't believe in.

Bruce Wayne: Bats

Bruce Banner: AHAHA. Nothing. Nothing at all. Nothing's scarier than he is; or rather, scary enough to put him in danger.

Harry Potter: Dementors. He knows what werewolves can do, so he's scared of them - but not so scared that he won't face one, like he did in canon. Ghosts and whatnot, he's grown up, so no bother. And really, once you've faced down Voldy a time or two, other things tend to pale.

ETA: I should have said - BB is more afraid of himself than anything else. If you count the Other Guy as himself.

Adrian Shephard fears three things, two of which can be put in a haunted house if you don't mind the fact that his response to fear involves hitting the thing that scared him or shooting it until it stops moving: clowns, and the winged monkeys from the Wizard of Oz.

(Kind of hard to put 'flying' in a haunted house.)

Me: Ticks. And Maggots. So gross guys. So. Gross. Thankfully, I don't get cases involving them too frequently.

Ace: Cybermen, especially the partial converts. Just the idea that they can take previously fine human beings and turn them into Cybermen without so much as token resistance is freaky.

Glor: .............................................. um. Um. ...... Um. There's things that scare him? Like the idea that he'll somehow fail to protect the twins, or that something will happen to Arwen, things like that... but.. usually his first thought about traditionally freaky stuff is '... yeah, I can take that'. .... Maybe Mandos. In a bad mood.

Shaz: Screwdrivers. Do not even.

Bones: Mind control. It's always pressed a few buttons, and his future canon will only make it worse.

Oswin: ........ Vampires? ... Obvs. Daleks, but who isn't (besides Ace, Ace doesn't count, Ace is a freaking nutter)?

Haymitch: Brightly colored birds, fluffy squirrels, idyllic pastoral scenes. Freaks him right out. He is gone.

Balthazar: Morgana. Morgana is freaky. Also clowns.

Katya: Wonderbread. Um. No, but. She's also of the '... yeah, I could take that' camp of thinking. Oh! The mostly-faded remnants of Others in the Gloom. Those are Not Fun.

Raph really doesn't like bugs, or creepy crawly things. At all.

Splinter has a fear of cats that he's worked through, but every now and again it creeps up on him.

Aang was afraid of Firelord Ozai...also math tests. And being caught without pants on.

Bumi is pretty fearless, as is Ida.

The Loompas fear The Wonka...and Vermicious Knids.

Mike just doesn't like to be snuck up on, he screams like a tiny child when surprised. Which...given that he's a ninja can be problematic.

Personally, cockroaches give me the willies. Especially palmetto bugs (the big American Cockroaches that are about an inch or more long and sometimes fly). I'm not afraid of them, but they creep me out.

I think Mark's got a fear of the walking dead. He loves zombie films, but I think if he's ever confronted with actual zombies (cue evil chuckle from mun), he'd probably freak out.

>.>

<.<

Someone should totally point out that many of the patrons do fall under the technical definition of 'zombie', sans eating brains.

:D?

Yeah, well, he'd probably be a little weirded out about that, if he knew. Probably not badly, since there's no "Grrr. Argh. Braaaaains." going on, but it might make him uneasy. That is, until he remembered that he's damn near invincible.

Oh god, palmetto bugs D:

I've been getting them more and more lately over the past couple of summers. So I've had to devise means of slaying them without getting too flaily and grossed out. A spray can of glass cleaner works WAY better than Raid.

Talking dolls, talking robot toys, talking computers, and the like. I don't know why, I just find it unnerving to be expected to treat an inanimate object as if it were a conscious entity. Even chatbots freak me out a little.

When the Singularity hits I'm pretty much screwed.

You know what really freaks me out? Arthropods. Those limbs... Also, just about anything medical. I can handle small amounts of blood, and small needles, and the rest of the stuff that is necessary for living with diabetes, but anything very much beyond that is eurgh territory, plain and simple. (Not that this stops me from donating blood, like I just finished doing, but I don't watch the needle going in or coming out or the bag filling.)

As for Felix... his fears are mostly existential things. One of which I'm in the process of trying to apply to him. But there's nothing I can particularly point to and say "yes, that scares him, put that in his haunted house."

Maybe zombies, but I think That Nightmare is mostly scary because it's a nightmare rather than because of its trappings.

Fluttershy is scared of dragons. And also of being noticed, but that's harder to include.

The only pup who I can think of an answer to this for is Shawn, who has an "irrational fear of pointy things." On a more serious note, he's a pretty big horror fan, but vampires and Friday The 13th-style murder mysteries have definitely been shown to spook him.

As for myself, bugs crawling on me icks me out. Not bugs themselves, just the crawling. I also have a bit of trypophobia, which is "an irrational fear, of clustered geometric shapes, especially small holes." Things with holes or lacy patterns just kinda give me the willies. :P

Ako has issues with blood. Which, as a nursing assistant is unfortunate.
Artemis has issues with sensory mismatches. Things that make it look like the wall is jumping out to mug you, or tilted twenty degrees to the right, that sort of thing.
Tyler... mostly has had his sense of fright broken. He twitches around the sound of unexpected gunshots though.
Robo hates bugs. Hates hates hates and is willing to use directed energy weapons on them.
Janet currently doesn't have much, but I predict an upswing in issues with body snatcher scenarios. Freakin' Skrulls.

We had a vet aide student at vet school (part of a program for undergrads who omg want to be vets someday to get them experience) who would faint, out cold, every time we stuck a needle into something.

I reeeeeally hope she found a different profession to be in.

I worked for a vet when I was in high school, back when I thought I wanted to be a vet (before college chemistry, basically). Mostly of course it was doing exciting stuff like cleaning kennels, but they'd let me observe surgeries sometimes. The first one I saw was a spaying, I think, and at the end the vet said cheerfully, "Oh, good, you didn't faint! I forgot to ask."

I was pretty amused by the idea that I would have volunteered to watch a surgery if I'd a) been the type to faint at blood and b) known that about myself ahead of time, but I suppose people do.

I think it's a pride thing? It's surprisingly more common than you think - probably because most of the people who have collapsed and/or nearly collapsed have been guys, and don't want to appear 'weak' in front of a team of (admittedly short, wtf) gals. I nearly lost one male tech when I had to do a nasty foreign body surgery - we had plenty of extra techs that day, but he never said a word - I just looked up from what I was doing and spotted him, pale as a ghost, trying to still do anesthesia monitoring.

IDEK. I'm just happy one of my techs likes fixing maggot dogs. She can have them. All of them. ugh.

Yeah, makes sense (in its way). Especially if you're normally fine and this particular one gets to you, or something. Ah well.

...I am confused by the idea of actually liking that one, but OKAY SURE. Good for her!

Also, your icon is hypnotic. *tears eyes away to hit post*

Right? I know. Sauron could have ruled Middle Earth in minutes if he just had the orcs shaking booty within sight of Gondor.

....

Okay, help, brain bleach, ow.

I'm.... really really not sure why my tech likes maggot cases. I mean. Seriously. UGH. But damned if I'm going to stop her.
Everyone has their, like, one thing they cannot do. One of my techs (and, tragically, my best anesthesia tech) cannot do eye stuff with me. Eyes, touching of eyes, manipulating of eyes, total no-go. Another gives me looks from hell if I suggest any sort of surgery that involves skin being moved around. She ain't a fan.

Clare: Awakened Ones, aka super-powerful [SPOILER] demons. That's a life fear, but they're also creepy.

She can and does push past that fear, but it's there, at least in early canon.

River: hands of blue. Doctors who are remotely skeevy/impersonal/inclined to treat patients as experiments. Puck giving birth in an elevator. Book's hair. Muppets. There's probably other stuff I'm not thinking of. River's bad at suppressing her startle reflex!

Regan: Vampires, bugs, muppets, things lurking under the bed. Reavers.

Thor: ...Is really bad at being afraid. Possibly even when he ought to be. I can think of emotional fears, but for haunted-house stuff... yeah, I'll have to come back to this. Most scary things, Thor either befriends or charges at with head-on glee, or both.

Trowa: Is more capable of being spooked than he lets on, because he doesn't let on at all if he can help it. Um. Cold -- that is, he's not afraid of it, but a cold room will make him more edgy, so air-condition the haunted house. Hmm. I'm sure there are other things, but I'll have to ponder what. He ignores that kind of thing pretty hard.

Thor - Glor inna haunted house. Just sayin'. They'd probably be kicked out for giggling too hard.

*STARRY EYES*

Thor would be so curious about these strange Midgardian customs! HELLO, GOOD [ZOMBIE] CITIZEN -- oh, it's a human with makeup and prostheses. Er. Do your people find such costumes worrisome? Mental note!

And then Glorfindel would start cracking up, and that'd set Thor off.

Glor would be leaning against one of the support posts, laughing his head off. Seriously.

....

....

Can we actualfax do this? 'Cause I'm falling in love with a thread that doesn't exist, whut.

Dude, if you (or I) can arrange a haunted house for them to go to, I am there with bells on.

........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

um. Um? Um.

I KNOW THE CAVES OUT BACK. THEY CAN LEAD TO NOWHERESVILLE, MISSOURI. Or something.

I might have plans for a pup to make a haunted house next year for October. Possibly in that I love it this year but have no idea where I'll be next year.

Erik ... Probably could arrange something.

Especially if he promised (or did) it when drunk. Well it'd have to be less drunk than last time him and Thor went on a bender, but that's not very hard.

As I said to Glor's comment below, Erik can probably arrange something, some time.

Heeeeeeee. Definitely an excellent option!

Puck giving birth in an elevator.

THAT WAS A BEAUTIFUL LIFE-AFFIRMING MOMENT OF JOY, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

(Havelock, hide that bloody knife behind you, or something!)

Oh, she's fine with bloody knives!

BUT THE LOBSTROSITIES AND CLOWN CAR AND STUFF WERE JUST WRONG.

For Hotspur, there is only one possible answer, and that answer is DISHONOR.

...oh, wait, sorry, reading comprehension.

An entire house full of Owen Glendowers? More irritating than scary, though.

Edited 2012-10-31 21:04 (UTC)

So, if a whole house-full of Owen Glendowers called spirits from the vasty deeps, would the spirits actually come when called for?

^_^

Therein lies the paradox!
