[ACTION FOR ECRUTEAK:]
[The great (???) thing about the ghost currently haunting Dave is that, for the most part, it stays out of sight, meaning that with everyone else distracted by their own phantasms, Dave managed to spend the whole day yesterday blatantly not acknowledging it, only twitching at its constant presence at the edge of his awareness. But after no sleep the entire night--negative sleep, probably, it's possible he will never sleep again, fuck every molecule of his being--he's just grabbed some foodstuffs, marched into the inn room closet, and settled in with his eyes shut, hugging the cereal boxes to his chest.
At least he can pretend Bro's not there, in the dark.]

Text -> Angstion
I'll be there as soon as I can.
[Which turns out to be longer than was probably expected, thanks to Egbert-shaped delays. But when she does ease open the door, it's gently, trying not to startle Dave or whatever else is inside.]
[Clicking the door quietly shut behind her, she pads over to the closet as her own translucent shadow sits quietly on the edge of the bed.]
Dave?
[Knocking gently at the closet door, Penny slides down into a seated position beside it, back to the wall.]
It's Penny, I'm here. I- don't actually see anyone else. Just- there wasn't anyone here when I opened the door.
[She frowns, looking around the room again. Was that flicker of motion actually something, or just her imagination? Questions for later.]
...do you want to talk?
no subject
Not particularly.
[After a moment, he opens the closet door a bit, enough that he can see her from where he sits. After a pause, he opens it wider and leans forward to make out the ghost on his bed. He watches Pyrrha a moment, then tilts his head gently at Penny.]
Do you?
no subject
I- don't think so? Not now, anyway.
[What is confronting difficult issues, does it taste good with salt.]
[Penny pulls her knees up to her chest, holding out a free hand to Dave through the gap in the closet door.]
You're- whoever it is didn't attack you, did he? Can they even do that?
no subject
Nah, nuh-uh. I don't think so.
[Because if he could, probably he would've already. Dave takes Penny's hand carefully, squeezes it gently--looks behind her again to see if Bro's out there. Flinches and closes his eyes again behind his shades.]
He hasn't done anything, I just--I can't keep pretending like he's not there. I just--just needed a break.
no subject
Who's- ...no, you don't have to talk about it. Sorry.
[Who hurt you, Dave.][She's quiet for a minute.]
...how are they even here? No one can even DIE here, and when people show up-
[Well, they're both examples of how Johto seems to deal with dead arrivals.]
This isn't right.
no subject
[Bro was here before. And as far as Dave knows, he hadn't been some silent, flickering ghost.]
Wonder what's going on. Think it's glitching again?
no subject
[This is one hell of a glitch.]
I mean, I hope it's just a glitch. Then it might end soon. Whatever it is, she- Pyrrha doesn't deserve it.
no subject
[Because he doesn't think Bro deserves this, either, but in an entirely different way.]
no subject
I don't- maybe? But I hope not, this kind of thing usually doesn't last long, but...
[She falls silent for a moment.]
If it is, there has to be a way to fix it.
