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!!

....

...

Ah.

Truly I thought they would have gone for possession.

Apparently that was not the case.

So it was a good thing we left when we did. However---

[ A long pointed look ]

...

I think I'm going to retrieve that healer for you anyway.

Difficult with our limited abilities to combat a being that can't even manifest. And it is probably a poor soul anyway.

[He shrugs.]

If you wish.

[He's not stubborn enough to leave without healing. He'll just get to it when he gets to it.]

I would argue that all of us are poor souls here, Master Alexander.

[ Anyway HANDWAVING BRINGING OVER A HEALER ]

Nonsense. This place has been nothing but good luck for me.

[It'll be nice not to be impaled.]

Master is hardly necessary.

I worry for your world when people say things like that.

Considering the existence of alternate timelines and time travel, I'm sure one of them turned out alright.

Is that a ability that you and Valour share?

I cannot traverse time. At least not yet. It seems there might be some tools to help.

I was defeated by one though. Truly cruel. 'Tis for that knowledge that I did approach him at first.

. . .

Defeated?

Is it not obvious. I am quite dead, yes.

As I said, this place is naught but good luck for me.

Ah. . .

My condolences.

[He shrugs.]

Normally I would say wishing it were different would not make it so, but in this case it just might.

. . . Are you not concerned with the strings attached that most assuredly come with that wish?

Unfortunately I find myself in a place where I quite literally have nothing left to loose.

Except perhaps for all that I have gained here in terms of allies, love, and friends. But on the first day of my arrival, truly nothing else could have gotten worse.

Strange. What one person finds abhorrent is opportunity for another. I suppose this place showcases that more than any other.

I am glad that you found that which you perhaps were not even looking for.

Now, shall I help you back to the dorms? Or I suppose Caeli also looks interested in assisting.

Seeing the bigger picture is a skill all upon its own. Most simply deal with the problems in front of their noses.

[He stretches shaking his head.]

I will give Five the honors. You are hurt as well besides. Though I doubt either of our injuries will hold us down for long.

Time waits for no one in this place.

But if you are good hands, I believe this is an instance of too many cooks in the kitchen. If there is anything I can do, please let me know.

That's because all you see is endless obstacles. This place is naught by opportunity for some of us. Though I do not doubt it is truly Hell for those that come without their memories.

Until later then. The same offer is for you.
