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?

a good idea

[loudmouths]

[ oh boy. ]

n...not exactly what i meant... i know what we're talking about!!

[ god whatever!!!!! ]

anyway, nevermind... my ideal type... ugh, i guess... it would be someone who's confident, someone who knows what they want? they have to take care of their appearance, too!! someone with a good sense of humor, but capable of being elegant! someone kind and nurturing!! and...

[ this next part... well. ]

someone who doesn't lie. someone who doesn't...

take me for granted or treat me like i'm an idiot. someone who doesn't make me think i'm a bother or a burden.

this wasn't bad i feel baited

[botamochi]

wow. that's pretty thoughtful of you.

i was expecting something like curves and big breasts or something.

i guess if you like men, then a lean body?

just wait it'll come [1/2]

[loudmouths]

i'm not a shallow person, y'know!!!!!

[ ... well, he is, but, y'know... some things are especially important... ]

anyway, i

[loudmouths]

WH

H

HeY

?! i never said anything about liking guys!!!!!

[ convincing, as always. ]

and!! even if i did!!! why would you think i'd like th that type???

[ please... enlighten him... for... science... ]

[botamochi]

yeah, but usually disclosing those kinds of details would be considered really intimate. i'm just surprised you didn't start off with physical appearance first.

just covering all my bases, Keigo. also, it's just a guess? for all i know maybe you like pretty guys. nothing wrong with that.

[loudmouths]

...is it?

[ hm. well— ]

...i dunno i just felt compelled to say that stuff... i definitely think there's a certain number of physical attributes to make it worthwhile, though... a sort of ratio, i guess...

[ this is somehow more embarrassing than the liking guys thing... ]

covering your bases... you're thorough, huh.

[botamochi]

it's all right. i prefer personality over looks, so i'm kind of glad that you're the same. don't worry about it.

[ A false sense of security here. ]

well, i wouldn't want anyone to feel left out or marginalized.

sounds like you're single, so rated NC-17 was fine as is.

[loudmouths]

glad, huh... i wonder what you'd say if i ended up being super shallow!!

[ it's funny because... he kind of is... oops. ]

...back to this again... i guess i have to accept my fate...

you're right, though, i am single... i've been single for almost two years now and it sucks!!

tho i guess i make it pretty obvious...

[botamochi]

that you're so shallow i could walk through you? i never got to use that joke yet.

[ So nothing too bad. ]

it sucks, huh. sorry to hear that. have you been going to mingles?

[loudmouths]

[ oh my god. ]

WOW

that's awful but i'm laughing so mission accomplished i guess!!!

[ anyway— ]

that's... not really my style... i don't think... actually i've never been to one, either. it sounds awkward...

[botamochi]

hey. it could be worse?

oh. that's unfortunate. sometimes my friends invite me out to goukons, but i don't have time to go to them. i was thinking you could fill in for me.

[ OPPORTUNITY? A TRAP? ]

[loudmouths]

it always could be worse

eh they have goukon around here??? i've never done one of those before

i mean it sounds fun but...

[ HE'S NOT SURE... ]

[botamochi]

depends on who you know, but some people host them. it's not always with alcohol, but the point is mingling and stuff.

are you scared? i would understand if you are. i heard it's a mixed bag.

[ what if they're old ladies? ]

[loudmouths]

huh... interesting...

but i'm not scared!!! it's just!! y'know!!!

[ ...yeah he's got the same thought. ]

all i can think of is weird things going down...

[botamochi]

i want to say at least you might not hook up with a ghost, but...

i don't know anymore. Recolle has become a strange place.

[loudmouths]

AUGH YOU'RE RIGHT!! I DON'T WANNA DATE A GHOST!!!

[botamochi]

what if she was hot?

[ TESTS. ]

[loudmouths]

...

how would that ... work??? how would you touch them??? or y'know

[ other... stuff... ]

[botamochi]

wow... you're actually considering it.

why are you asking me? i don't know. from the stuff i've read, ghosts can manipulate the material realm, right? so they can touch stuff.

[ ... ]

don't do it, Keigo.

[loudmouths]

I'M NOT!!! i'm just wondering!!

but... that's interesting... huh.

[ don't look at his life choices ]

HOW WOULD I DO IT ANYWAY?! i can't see ghosts!!!

[botamochi]

[ He can't avert his gaze from his life choices when they're all over this thread. ]

you're not really convincing me here...

but it looks like you're feeling better about yourself.

[loudmouths]

if i can convince myself, that's all that matters...

[ BRILLIANT. ]

...ah, i guess so... it's still weird to think about all that other stuff... it's

[ time to be avoidant again ]

anyway, you must really be getting some quality entertainment out of this if you haven't tried to block me yet huh

[botamochi]

incredible.

[ WHAT AN IDIOT. ]

it would be pretty immature and unfair of me to block you. i would need to block my other friends, too. you are pretty funny though, i'm not going to lie. i wouldn't even mind hanging out with you despite everything.

[loudmouths]

[ oh... ]

ah r

really?

[ time to be the tsundere he was always meant to be. ]

well!! of course i'm funny!! that's one of my best qualities!!!

but... yeah i wouldn't mind that either!!! maybe i can teach you to be as charming as i am~!!

[botamochi]

you can just say that we can hang out sometime instead of placing hurdles like that.

also, you should pick something else if you plan on giving more than one lesson. you might run out of material. fast.

[ He's fluent in tsundere. OTHERWISE, HE WAS WORRIED. Nothing spikes his anxiety like making friends. ]
