Log:


Been to the Ruins of Alph before? Are you an old hat at this stuff? Well turn everything you thought you knew UPSIDE DOWN because EVERYTHING. IS DIFFERENT NOW.

… Or at least, that’s what the flyers being passed out under a canopy of cheap Celebi balloons that are bobbing around in the breeze say.

One thing’s for sure, there sure are a lot more tents than normal. By the time most of you casuals get there, the entire picnicking area, usually quite spacious, has been turned into a small tent city. And the excited atmosphere is palpable.

The crackle of the Ruin Rangers’ walkie-talkies mingles with that of the ghost-hunting equipment toted around by excited Hex Maniacs, burbling Unown are drifting here and there to blink curiously at all the new people and Pokemon suddenly on their turf, and chatter from Legend Seekers of all ages (really, of ALL ages-- everyone from Youngsters to Veterans have apparently been swept up in the Seeker-mania!) rings out as stories and speculations are swapped.

There’s lots to do, plenty to explore, and (according to word on the grapevine), more than enough spooky rituals to perform once the night falls.

Will you solve some tile puzzles and fall into an underground chamber? Stick to the main group and make s’mores? Befriend a floating letter (or twenty-four)? Go directly against the advice of the tired-looking Rangers and play One Man Hide-and-Seek in the dark?

Or, most importantly, will you start a small-scale riot in order to keep the loud static boxes away from the tents where you’re trying to sleep?

Dunno. There's prob'ly ghosts? Just never saw one.

[neverstudied]

That's fair. New York's full of 'em nowadays, but most people never saw one until the 80s. Even if your dimension's got ghosts, they could just be dormant for now in most places.

[Time for squid kids to have invasions by ancient Sumerian gods, I guess]

[agent3]

[I mean that's probably Splatoon 3]

So they're just sleepin'? Guess ghosts need naps, too...

[neverstudied]

Not necessarily asleep, but at least not able to manifest or screw with people. Though I have known some ghosts that take naps. [He grimaces.] Usually on my pillow...

[Fucking Slimer.]

[agent3]

Oh, no...do ghosts drool when they're sleepin'?

[I mean Slimer probably does.]

[neverstudied]

Probably depends on the ghost, but Slimer definitely drools. And oozes green slime all over everything I own.

Disgusting little blob.

[agent3]

Izzat a type of ghost?

[Teach her in the ways of Slimer]

[neverstudied]

Slimer's his own, horrible little abomination that Ray made us keep as a pet. If he was human at some point, he's not anymore- no memory of being human, no connection to it- which is more common than you'd think. Lotta ghosts lose any sense of humanity they used to have. And some ghosts were never human in the first place.

Anyway. He's just an awful little spud who eats everything in sight and makes our lives worse.

[agent3]

Ooh. Thought ghosts always came from people. Not potatoes.

[Get it. Spud. Potato.]
