Wammy’s Urban Legends
A- if it rains on the day that A died, travel north up the hill, starting at his grave. A new trail will open up that wasn’t there before. Those who have seen it report seeing a hazy figure in the mist, but make sure to turn back before the rain stops. Never stay past midnight.
Beyond- if you whisper ‘Beyond’ thirteen times into a candle, fireplace, or other sources of fire, you’ll see your eyes turn red when you look at your reflection. Taking the last jar of jam will curse you for two weeks. It’s also said that if you don’t dedicate an extra candle on your birthday for B, your luck will sour for the rest of the year.
L- Halloween. Sometimes it’s a hyottoko mask, sometimes it’s a bedsheet ghost. When he holds his palm out, stay calm and deposit one candy and he will leave you alone. If you’re unfortunate enough to not have any on you, crossing an X over your heart with your finger is also effective.
Mello- after the successor program crumbles completely, ranks hold different meaning. Anyone who scores a 100% on a test risks upsetting Mello’s ghost. Some students have taken to deliberately botching a single question on the exam to avoid Mello’s wrath.
Matt- The arcade in Winchester has an unspoken rule. Any machine that has Matt as first place on the leaderboard is never to disturb his place on the list. The last time someone tried, the machine crashed and broke for good.
Watari- he’s romanticised in a different way. Rather than Saint Nicholas, it’s Wammy who has become the figurehead of Christmas and patron saint of the orphans. Light him a candle on Christmas Eve and you’ll receive better presents.
