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?

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. ]

this is cute i'm dead

[loudmouths]

[ no worries there, since keigo is also rather anxious when it comes to making friends. ]

well, if i don't make goals, then how will i exceed expectations?!

YOU'LL SEE!! i have plenty of material to work with!! i have my work cut out for me, it seems

i'm already dead but i'm dead again... it is cute

[botamochi]

shouldn't you have better goals? just pointing it out.

work cut out for you, huh. that's another way of saying you won't be doing anything special. i look forward to it anyway, i guess

[ It's too easy to bully, sorry. ]

if you're dead and dead again... does that make you the ghost of a zombie...

[loudmouths]

i have OTHER goals, yknow... i'm just sayin for this specific... situation!!

and no, it's another way of saying you're clearly in need of my assistance!!! and you SHOULD look forward to it!!!

[ don't worry... he responds best to bullying ¯\_(ツ)_/¯??? ]

stop i'm having an existential crisis

[botamochi]

you should have been specific, but that's good to know.

all right. if you say so. just drop me a message whenever you're up for it. my schedule is pretty busy, but i can free up time if you give me a notice beforehand.

i'm gomen... let's just blame keigo

[loudmouths]

i will!! i'm kinda busy, too, what with school and stuff, but i'll definitely make time if i have to!!!

[ see that, takumi. your fate is sealed. enjoy your new clingy friend. ]

i demand compensation

[botamochi]

i'll hold you to that.

anyway, i'll talk to you later. stay out of trouble.

[ IT'S OKAY HE CAN HANDLE IT. ]
