The Oni is back in his final form for another #trippythursday
Though the Oni's forest was demolished and a mall was built there he has found a new home in the home goods store.
The developer hires his priests, nuns and wizards off of Craigslist to expel the Oni before building began. Sadly their credentials didn't check out so now these pointy horns haunt the mall.
Now that he is a mall rat the Oni was able to upgrade his third eye at Lens Crafters with a new contact lens. This will make him even more powerful as spotting prey.
Later he did a facial cleanse at the Bath and Bodyworks store. Now his skin is nice and shiny, perfect for scaring the heck out of anyone that might turn the corner in the home goods store to the discount aisle.
At the electronics store he found some old Japanese user manuals to make himself seem more legit as a Japanese demon. Though most of the incantations refer to using a paperclip to open the cd tray to troubleshoot the problem.
Now with all his upgrades he is ready to start harvesting souls from the mall...
Sadly the building developer was a bit late in strategy too. It seems everyone orders there things on Amazon now and doesn't go to malls anymore.
So now he waits and waits in the Best Buy TV aisle watching old reruns of Jay Leno hoping for a victim to pass by. He's already eaten the souls of the Geek Squad who used to work here.
Perhaps he can convince people to come to the mall using creepy pasta videos to convince them to scout the abandoned buildings for clicks.
Sadly that didn't work either as the creepy pasta hashtag is now stale. Thus he is doomed to haunt an abandoned mall until it gets converted into low rent housing. He should barely be able to survive off random utility workers barely maintaining the premises.
That's all for now, thanks for looking and beware the discount aisle at the mall.
