☆69☆ [Video] - Ghost Trick

[tearsofademon]

...So. Just looking through things, sounds like we're not the only ones, huh.

[He's in the front hall of his house, and to demonstrate his point, he pushes the camera up to have a good view out the window that looks out in front of the front door, where this woman is patiently standing on the other side.

He then sits back down on a chair he's pulled up in front of the door, because why would he open the door for this woman. It's not like there's a Clefairy at another windowsill giving her a suspicious death glare or anything. His hand goes to his temple, to rub at his eyes a little.]

A few years ago, I dunno if anybody's still around who remembers, but I asked around, what it's like to have a family, 'cause I thought I'd never had one. Heh, wouldn't you know, they were closer than I could've ever imagined my whole life. And I couldn't know.

But even though I...

[He stops himself.]

...How do you deal with that? Suddenly learning that everything you've thought your whole life was a lie, and someone you thought didn't exist was actually always there, just out of sight?

[He shakes his head.]

Ahh, sorry. I probably shouldn't bother anybody with this, huh.

[And this is where he turns off the feed. Gee, though, he said 'we'. Could Sion be having trouble too...?]

[[Depending on how things develop, Sion (dreamsofahero) might respond to people too.]]

THE GHOSTS HERE ARE INCREDIBLY TACKY!!!!

SERIOUSLY, HOW DO YOU MAKE THEM STOP?! IT'S VERY AGGRAVATING AND I DON'T APPRECIATE BEING FOLLOWED BY SOMEONE I KNOW WHO ISN'T REALLY THE PERSON I KNOW!!

I SEE THAT SOME OF YOU ARE CURRENTLY SUFFERING SIMILAR ISSUES--IF YOURS HAVE REACHED A PASSABLE RESOLUTION, PLEASE TELL ME HOW I CAN GET THIS TO STOP!! OTHERWISE, I'M OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS FROM ANYONE ELSE WHO KNOWS HOW POKEMON GHOSTS OPERATE!!!

[There's a mild implication that where he's from, ghosts do not behave this way.

If by mild one means a neon flashing light that says THIS IS WEIRD I AM UNCOMFORTABLE MAKE IT STOP.]


[Action (Ecruteak City)]

[As soon as Mettaton's finished posting his plea for assistance, he tucks his 'Gear away, then shoots a sideways glance at the ghost currently impersonating...

...well. A ghost. It couldn't look anymore like a cheap knockoff if it tried, because unfortunately, ghost monsters were pretty plain. Either way, it seems to strike a nerve with Mettaton, because with a huff, he glares at the apparition.]

I know you aren't really him!! Go away, wouldn't you?!

[The ghost tears up, the outline of its eye seeming to go wiggly.
Aaaand Mettaton doesn't buy it.]

Oh stop it!! You aren't fooling anyone!

[Mettaton holding a conversation by himself is not the strangest thing ever...but probably worth raising an eyebrow at anyway.]

Second Paper Crane [Video]

[thelittlegingerthatcould]

[Hanna appears on the screen with Noibat on his shoulder, as usual. They're unseparable, except...unfortunately so are he and Conrad at the moment. Conrad being the person floating behind him with an expression on his face like he's being paid to be there but obviously not enough.]

Hi! My name is Hanna Cross and I will be your ghost expert for today!

Ghosts, [He points to the one behind him, silent and still as usual.] just like this one here, happen when someone dies and has regret or a strong emotion chaining them to the world of the living. Usually it's regret. Or anger.

The only problem is I can't seem to get a rise out of any of the ghosts i've encountered, including my own. They don't speak, they don't react, they just watch. And that's weird. So, i've thought of a few ideas on how to try and get rid of them. Nicely, that is. Don't be a dick and attack the ghost no matter how hard the feelings are. They aren't hurting you, they're existing and they at least have that right. [He's looking at you, who ever you are.]

Firstly, most people seem to know the apparition that is following them. Now, if you know how they died, perhaps think of anything that might have been going wrong in their life or they might have strong feelings about. The key is Negotiation. Talk to them, maybe try and ease what ever worries they might have. I'm sure they'd like to move on and stop bothering you just as much as you'd like them too, so be strong and think about topics to cover.

Second...well? Since that didn't work for mine...maybe think about what you might have done wrong. This one is more difficult...and I know I'm still working on it myself, but maybe all they want is an apology? I'm not saying every apparition is blaming you for their death, but...I'm all out of options. Nothing I would usually do is working, and I've got no more magic up my sleeves, so. Just try...

I'm sorry I couldn't help more, but that's my advice to all of you. Good luck! I...I know I'm going to need it.

45th treasure [anon text]

[captainash]

So, is anyone else feeling really self-conscious right now because they ended up hugging the fake ghost of their dead best friend twice, with maybe some limited sniffling involved, in public and with a handful of random strangers staring at them like they were crazy?


No? Just me? Great.

Track 4 - [Video] (backdated to the 16th)

[toothaches]

Guuuuuys?

<sub>[Maurice's voice comes from off-camera. It's thick and slurred. Somebody has spent most of his festival time drinking. The Poke'Gear is pointed at a strange, strange creature crouched outside a Cherrygrove Poke'Mart.]

[A frog.]

[A normal, albeit ghostly, earth frog.]</sub>

What does it want!? It even followed me into the bathroom! I can't deal with this! Dee? Hanna?
