Video ☆ Spirits Fearing Ghosts

[minogame]

( The video is normal enough! Urashima props his phone up so it's at a good angle and holds up a poster for everyone to see. )

Look! There's going to be a lot of haunted houses in this park soon! Everyone should go! It looks like a lot of fun!

( And he sets the poster down next to Kamekichi, his always sleeping turtle. Right now, she appears to have a cooling washcloth on her shell. It's hot, guys. Summer is here. Someone get this turtle to a cool pond. )

Hmm... you know, it's that time of year, too! Isn't that fun? Maybe we can tell each other ghost stories! I'll start, I'll start!

Have you ever heard of tsukumogami? They're spirits that live in "things." I think the scariest one is Boroboroton! Boroboroton is an angry futon spirit. If you don't take care of your futon, it'll come to life, throw you out of bed, and cover your face. Isn't that scary? So you should take care of your things before they get angry!

( He isn't very good at this ghost story thing and he has twenty more stories just like this one. )

What do you think?

For those interested, this is a mini prelude for my upcoming player plot so check it out!

[ ....There's something he's not normally accused of. ]

See?!

[minogame]

( Yata is clearly more thoughtful than a simple sword spirit. )

But everyone said it was a lot of fun and everyone can't be wrong!

[thevanguard]

Wanna bet? 'Everyone' is wrong a lot.

[minogame]

Yeah!

( He sounds really confident. )

I'll bet you! Hm... what do you want to bet?

[thevanguard]

[ Yata blinks, because that.... was not the answer he expected at all. ]

Wait, what? That wasn't.... How are you even gonna prove this bet?

[minogame]

Well... we could go to the haunted house together. And if one of us has fun, I win. But if one of us doesn't have fun, you win.

( It's literally that easy to him. )

[thevanguard]

And what happens if one does and one doesn't?

Because I can tell you right now, I'm not findig anything fun about a haunted house.

[minogame]

Well, if one of us has fun that means everyone wasn't wrong... so I'd win, wouldn't I?

[thevanguard]

I don't think that's how that works.

[minogame]

Then what do you think we should do?

( Come on, Yata. He's a competitive and you got him all excited for nothing?! )

[thevanguard]

[ Yata just sighs, because dammit, so is he. How did he get himself into this? ]

Alright, fine. But don't come crying to me if you get scared shitless.
