(brackets are fine if you'd like to switch to that! here is her workshop comment, Kairi's name in this AU is Marina and she's a senior in high school! you can contact me at ahmsi if needed)

Haunted houses? Spooky scares? Marina is so there. Having no one to go with isn't going to stop her from going through the haunted house on her own, always up for a challenge and loving the adrenaline rush of being spooked. The jump scares make her laugh and startle, and the foreboding atmosphere only serves to excite her more, enjoying the feeling of dread growing in the pit of her stomach as the haunted house seemed to go on far longer than it had any right to.
Set ups with halls of mirrors were always disconcerting, and this time was certainly no exception. Seeing yourself going on infinitely in the corner of your eye was enough to give you a jolt, the slightest movement of your own causing an accidental reaction. However, any fears Marina feels is ramped up to an extreme as the walls begin to close in around her, causing her to take off as fast as she can towards the exit with a yelp of alarm. Who knew claustrophobia was such a fear of hers?
She knows logically that this was all playing pretend, but she allows herself to feel the adrenaline rush of fright as she runs along, huffing and regretting just how little she actually bothered to exercise. Not the fastest runner, this one. Thus, down the slide she goes with a yell of alarm at the sudden drop, sliding down into the pit with an "oomf".
Yeesh. Marina swats some fake spiders out of her hair and stands up, brushing herself off further and glancing around at her surroundings. Ah. Hm. She had absolutely no idea how to get out of here, with there being no obvious doors.
As her eyes adjust to the dark, she makes out another figure, heaving a sigh of relief and offering a slight wave.
"Hey. Stuck down here too, huh?"
III.
Incredulous, Marina stares across the street at the ghostly figure, blinking rapidly as if it might cause the sight to clear out of her vision. When it's obvious that she's actually seeing exactly what she thinks she's seeing, the immediate thought is to figure out how in the world someone was doing this trick, and where it was coming from.
She glances around at the nearby corners and street lamps, looking for any sort of camera or projector, eventually approaching and circling around the figure in confusion, causing quite a few confused looks from people wondering why she was walking circles around nothing in the middle of the sidewalk.
The first person to actually stop to also stare at the figure in the street will catch her attention, and she gestures towards them, voice low.
"You see this too, right? It's not just me?"
IV.
Okay, so hayrides weren't exactly on her list of things to do when she was alone, they were more fun with friends considering they weren't exactly that scary, so she wasn't planning on actually getting on the ride at all.
What was catching her attention were the birds attached to the hayrides, causing her to stare dumbstruck at them as her brain tried to process what she was looking at.
"Since when... what...?" She seems pretty stuck on this train of thought, mouth partly ajar and brow knit.
"Hey, uh..." She motions towards the nearest person, still staring at the Chocobo. "You see that too, right?"
