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! （*/∇＼*）

yeah there's more that happens after that

but i sort of forgot

honestly, everytime i heard this story as a kid i fell asleep around this part

[kabloom]

Hmm, when you're a child you usually just want to skip ahead to the good part, so the longer tales do tend to get boring.

[ mimori you're a child ]

I think that's a decent enough endpoint though.

[tuffguy]

yeah right? why not just end it with wang getting his heart eaten??

but i got more chinese ghost stories if you wanna hear them!

[kabloom]

I definitely do!

Please, tell me the next one.

[tuffguy]

okay two words for you

chinese vampire

[kabloom]

................ Go on.

[tuffguy]

alright so they're called jiangshi. they've got rotten flesh, like they've been dead for a long time. they've been dead for so long that their knees don't even bend anymore, so they gotta hop to move around

[kabloom]

Ah!
Like...

[tuffguy]

that's it!!

that's a jiangshi!

[kabloom]

Please.
Tell me more.

[tuffguy]

so like any normal vampire, they sleep during the day

but at night they come out and hunt for people, but they don't drink blood

[kabloom]

Really? Then what do they hunt them for?

[tuffguy]

qi! it's kinda like a person's life energy

[kabloom]

Oh, that doesn't sound very good.
What happens if they take all of it?

[tuffguy]

oh you know





you die

[kabloom]

Oh no!!



What if they don't take all of it?
