GHOST HUNT (the Prequel)

Who: YOU
Where: THE GAME TOWER
When: NOW!!!

[You arrive to the game tower where today, the atmosphere seems to be quite s~p~o~o~k~y. Fog seems to cover the entire floor area and any visible area of the tower is covered by things like (fake) spiderwebs and also (fake) spiders hanging around in (fake) trees.

It would probably feel a little more spookier if it wasn't for the fact that music is blaring throughout the tower. Someone is a host today, but it's impossible to tell whom considering they're covered in a white sheet with holes cut out for eyes.

Until they talk anyway.]

I GOT A ★~★~PROMOTION~★~★

To host the greatest haunted house party that you can imagine!! But w-w-w-wait, haunted houses are s-scary! I don't wanna make you guys get too scared so we'll start small . . .

Small . . . tiny . . . miniscule . . .

It's still gonna be dangerous though!! Ghosts are PRETTY uncontrollable, ya know~? I've seen SAWoleen XVI, I know how it goes!!

[The flashlight

clicks on]

[.../Squints.]

...If you're a ghost from the game, throw it.

If not... I don't know. Turn it off again?

[I mean. Technically he's a ghost because of the game??]

[Does that count as from the game,]

[The flashlight clicks off. And then on again? And then off,]

...That's not an answer... let's see.

If you were a ghost we were tasked with identifying, throw it, and if you're something else, turn it on and leave it like that.

[Turns it on]

[Leaves it like that]

[Hmmm... Okay. Cautiously scooting a little closer to the flashlight to see it better.]

Not one of the ghosts we were trying to identify, but you couldn't answer a ghost from the game...

[...

...?]

If you're a player from one of the games, turn it off. If not, roll it around.

[The flashlight turns off]

[Okay, so.

1. This is a player, therefore an idol.
2. They are pretty clearly interacting with things the same way the ghosts from the game did.
3. Also his first sense of ~*ghost interaction*~ out here was by...]

...Turn it on again if you're Hurricane. Roll it around if you're someone else.

[The flashlight turns on]

...Did everyone who died end up a ghost? Turn it off if yes, roll it if no.

[It turns off]

Are you... in the same plane of existence, I guess? Like, you can still interact with each other like that?

Same yes or no as before.

[The flashlight clicks on]

Huh...

That's not how that usually works.

[W...........eird??]

[It clicks off again]

Well... I can fix your neck if it turns out you really are "dead" without a revival for winning, but...

I'm not really sure what's up with the ghost situation.

[The flashlight spins in a slow circle, like... yeah, idk either,]

...

Are you going to want company later, whatever it turns out to be?

[A pause]

[A half circle]

[The flashlight clicks on?]

Once I'm done checking in with the rest of sensitIV, I'll drop by my dorm real quick and then head over to Heart Soldier. Does that sound good?

[The flashlight clicks off again]

I'll do that, then.

Hopefully this ghost business gets reversed soon. I think almost everyone's in by now.

[Another half circle, and the flashlight clicks on]

Can you still sit by people like that?

[There's a long pause. Then the temperature by Izangi drops a noticeable amount. The hairs all along his arms stand on end]
