spooky scary skeletons

So, a lot of people are talking about the different kinds of ...visions they're getting lately. It's kinda comforting, in a way, that so many people have gotten weird shit or seen weird shit... So, I guess I'll just come out with it: has anyone had any sort of visions relating to, um... ghosts? Like, ghosts of people, not necessarily uh... polter...geists or anything like that. I figure it shouldn't be that strange to bring up if everyone else is in the same boat, right? The sort of things that I've seen are ... troubling. Do all of you believe what you see or do you think it's just a way to mess with our heads?

[ He's ending this because he's dying on the inside. ]

so they have tails? or something? or just no torsos. that's pretty interesting... i always thought ghosts wouldn't retain their forms.

i kind of want to meet one, but it sounds really unnerving.

[loudmouths]

[ good idea. though keigo won't forget this any time soon... be prepared. ]

um, sort of? it was weird, some of them looked like normal people, others were kinda faded and wispy. i dunno why.

i was pretty scared in that... vision, or whatever. like maybe it was the first time i was seeing them? it was pretty intense, but nothing bad happened in that one...

though if you met one, what would you even say?

[botamochi]

i see. well, they do say there are good and bad spirits. you must have met a decent lost soul or something. i wonder if there's a reason you can see ghosts... maybe you're supposed to guide them or help them pass over?

i kind of want to meet someone specific, but i never thought as far as what to say. forget i said anything about that.

[loudmouths]

woah, you think I'm like some kind of um... grim reaper or something??? I dunno how I feel about that...

... oh. well, I'm sorry that I asked...

[botamochi]

i guess? but you don't really seem like a reaper, just from reading your messages. they're usually grim, dark, and cold, right? maybe shaman is a better word...

it's no big deal. how often do you apologize? I'm starting to think i should keep count.

[loudmouths]

maybe i'm just a different type!!! i break the mold!!

...um. i never really keep track of that, though... i never noticed that i did it all that much...

don't you keep track, though!! that's embarrassing!!!

[botamochi]

so now you want to be a reaper? make up your mind. though i think i would rest easy to know there are reapers like you.

i won't keep track if you only apologize once when necessary. it's easy as that, Keigo.

[loudmouths]

Well I didn't say that... I'm just saying that if it ends up that way, I'm sure I'm a good one??

But ah, then if that's the case, I hope I am one!! I think it'd be nice to help people...

[ is that a compliment... he's taking it as one, even if it's embarrassing...!]

hrmph... look sometimes I don't realise that I'm apologizing!! it's just habit!!

[botamochi]

[ It's hard to find someone so goofy as spooky. ]

at least your heart is in the right place. even if you aren't a grim reaper, i'm sure there has to be a good reason for you to see them. if not, you have to make the best of it.

like those mediums that help the police.

[ HE'S REACHING SO HARD. ]

it's a bad habit. you're not that old where you can't break it, right? i thought so.

[loudmouths]

[ probably for the better... ]

uwah, helping the police?? is that actually a thing? that would really be a turn of events...

[ that reaching is working, at least. ]

I'm not old!!! I'm 20!!

but even still... I guess I could work on it...

[botamochi]

i wouldn't say it's common for police to reach out to mediums, but it isn't that uncommon, too? it's weird. most of the time i don't know if they're being serious about their ESP or whatever, but if you're serious about seeing ghosts maybe it would work out?

good boy.

[ not that you're a dog or anything. ]

[loudmouths]

...i love how we're considering career options for this weird skill that i may or may not actually have...

and why are you saying it like that?!?!?! i'm not being trained here!!!!

[ he doesn't appreciate this!!!!! ]

[botamochi]

you can say we're being productive. you don't lose anything by being mentally prepared, so yeah. unless sleep? you might lose sleep.

i only said two words? you should be appreciative of praise! it doesn't come so easily nowadays.

[loudmouths]

this is all too bizarre... my life is turning into one of those tv dramas... i might lose sleep about that, honestly.

THOSE TWO WORDS WERE CHOSEN FOR A REASON!! like i'm a dog doing tricks or something!!

that isn't how i'm used to receiving praise!!

[ do you ever receive praise, keigo.......... ]

[botamochi]

ghost busting with keigo, rated NC-17. either way, i wouldn't be surprised if you have trouble sleeping with memories like that. drinking milk 90 minutes before you head to bed should help you fall asleep, by the way.

okay. enlighten me? how would you like to be praised?

[ He's a kind and gracious soul. ]

[loudmouths]

NC-17???? is that like R-18??? what's with that rating?!

[ you're giving him way too much to work with here. ]

i'll hopefully pass out from stress sooner or later, at least... there's that much to look forward to...

though, how i'd like to be praised... that seems a little...

[ how did it end up this way. ]

[botamochi]

realistically, it's going to be NC-17, but not yet R-18. google this? also, that doesn't sound all too promising, but i understand.

seems a little what?

[ He's lost. ]

[loudmouths]

but why that rating?!?! i need to know!! using google won't help me with that!!!

and it's just a little...

weird isn't it???

[ don't mind him, he makes mountains out of molehills like it's his job. ]

[botamochi]

i want to say for possibly swearing, but sexual content seems to be common in this age group. for you i want to say it isn't too much, so NC-17 seems balanced.

you were the one complaining? i only asked a legitimate question.

[ THIS CAN BE SO EASY, KEIGO. ]

1/2

[loudmouths]

[ . . . ]

?!?!?!?!?!

[ you've done it now. ]

YOU

HOW

I

[ please hold. ]

[loudmouths]

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START

YOU CAN'T JUST MAKE JUDGMENTS LIKE THAT OUT OF NOWHERE!! YOU DON'T KNOW MY LIFE!!!

[ he's... so... mortified... he only has himself to blame, though. ]

AJSKHS I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS

[ probably a good idea to forget about praising him for the moment... he's not doing anything praise-worthy any time soon. ]

[botamochi]

what? it's an educated opinion! what do you even want?

were you expecting to be PG-13? realistically, things with ghosts and death seldom fall down to G, but

wait did you want your drama to be rated R?

dude, as you said, i don't know your life so if you want to be rated R, be my guest? but keep me out of it. thanks.

[ you're a fool... ]

1/2 i'm very sorry

[loudmouths]

[ . . . . . . ]

...th

wait you weren't making a joke about

[loudmouths]

well

i guess this is as good enough time as any to live under a rock for the rest of my days

you're not sorry i would know cause i'm already dead

[botamochi]

a joke about what? i'm not following...

[ Thinking... ]

like...

your love life or lack thereof?
