Hello everyone!
I know that this month has been making everyone pretty anxious with everything that's going on.
This is really the first time I'm experiencing the brunt of all of this, so it's been a... let's say, learning experience!
I've been trying to think of a way to get my mind off of all of this, so can I ask a favor of you?

Can you please tell me some of your favorite scary stories? I want to hear your best! （*/∇＼*）

I haven't! What happens when you go there? Is it haunted?

Yes.

The ghosts only come out after dark, but they walk throughout the graveyard. Watching anyone who enters, staring at you with their vacant, dead eyes! But they are not immobile, these ghosts. They have a particular, ritual, one might say, they do each night, in the center of the graveyard.

A ritual they don't like interrupted...

What is it? What's the ritual?!

[ if this conversation was happening in person, mimori's eyes would be sparkling. ]

Well, they all sort of gather in this circle around the center, chanting unintelligible words in unison. But, if one were to be so unlucky as to interrupt them...

That circle would go around them instead, and the ghosts would CONSUME THEIR SOUL!!!!

Oh no! How terrible!

I'll give this a 7.

Oh come on, I wasn't even trying! That deserves way worse a score! The only good thing about it is I remembered how big jerks my other self's friends were!

But you were really enthusiastic while telling it, which showed through even though it's text.
So I bumped you up!

[ what she's saying here is that she's nice. ]

Well thank you. Glad to see someone can appreciate my stories instead of throwing me into sewer water and threatening to kill me, Velvet.

[Now she suddenly gets the whole "stabs in the chest" comment from her other self. She's just really salty about this.]

That sounds very drastic for this Velvet to do.

She's a Daemon. I, didn't know what I expected.

Is that something you figured out from memories?
Or... whatever all of that is.

Yeah. But Velvet's fine, for the most part. Just kind of cold.

Still... I think your story telling is fine!
So don't worry about that.

Why thank you. You, unlike the man-eating Daemon, clearly have taste.

You never know!
Maybe I'll turn out to be a man-eating Daemon as well.

I you are, I am sure there are plenty of people who would stop you in your tracks before you could eat anyone. A lot of people here have superpowers to do that, you know.

Well, I'm sure most man-eaters wouldn't just announce it so people could easily track them down.

Aha, normally I would agree with that, but also...

You just revealed your true identity right here!!! I HAVE YOU NOW YOU FIEND!

Oh!
I guess I'm just going to have to eat you to make sure no one finds out.

Why, but you just admitted this publicly? How do you know someone is not already on their way to foil your evil schemes?

Oh...
I was hacked.

That's just a blatant lie! Soon fiend, you shall-

Okay how long are we going to take this joke for?

Ah, I think it just ended right there!

So not very long.

Ah, yes. Was fun while it lasted though.

I'm Mimori Togo, by the way.
It's good to meet you.
