For the sake of sanity, actions take place in sequence rather than simutainiously. For the sake of fairness, the order in which actions are taken is determined randomly, rather than giving priority to whoever posts quickest.
The net result of this is that this game is quite RNG-based in a way that you can't really strategieze around.

Name: Thaxabatus the Eternal
Phys. Description: A white plastic bag that looks kinda like a ghost when the wind catches it just right
Backstory: Cooked up in a vat of polyethlene in a plant somewhere, Thaxabatus had a pleasant enough early life carrying groceries for his human overlords. He was less pleased when he was then re-purposed to line their kitchen tidy, a truly loathsome fate for a proud plastic bag.
It was then that he began to nurse a deepset grudge against humankind. Managing to escape an undignified end in landfill thanks to a windy day and a human that was too lazy to tie him shut around his contents, Thaxabatus flew on on the raging winds in search of vengeance. The wind itself seems to have allied itself with him, and taking inspiration from human folklore he has modeled himself after the ghostly apparitions they fear so much.

Nope, not happening. BOTH of your handles are caught on the windowsil. There's no way this is going to budge unless somebody with HANDS and FINGERS comes and sets you free. Or...
A powerful breeze comes up suddenly, catching your and pulling so hard that the window slices right through your arms! Painful, grusome mutilation!
Or it would be, if you were alive. It doesn't really matter as you are a nonsapient, inert piece of plastic. You blow onwards, into the woods in search of innocent animals to murder.
[Spookiness: 1]
This time, you get caught on a branch.
