Fourth Haunt

[slapwithpanache]

Christmas, hmm?  A festive time of celebration marked by the transference of gifts and well wishes.  All very nice and good.

But it appears that in the general chaos that seems to be the normal state of affairs around here, everyone has forgotten to give me my proper due.  No matter.  I'm not one of those stringy prepubescent onryou; I don't hold

((Well, Reisen would have given her a merry Christmas but you were nowhere to be found ;P ))

Ah... I-I'm sorry, I just wasn't able to find you...

... I'm... not sure if you eat, but the other ghosts I knew from back home do, so... *she's offering a box of mochi*

[slapwithpanache]

((Sorry! I've been on and off hiatus for a while now, just too busy around this time of year. Wait, you're Reisen at Mayfield too, right?))

Well, perhaps you simply didn't look hard enough. Or perhaps I spent most of the day invisible, setting up pranks. But as they say, better late than never. Thank you, Reisen.

[Bow maneuvers the lid of the box off and stares for a few moments.]

Er.

Multicolored rubber! How. Ah. What's the word . . . Delightful. Yes. Delightful.

[pet_moonrabbit]

((Yes that's me~))

Ah...

... it's not rubber. It's food. I know it might look strange for people who've never seen it before, but...

[slapwithpanache]

OH! I see. My goodness.

[Bow continues to stare suspiciously at the rainbow assortment of what appears to be round rubber balls. A few more moments pass.]

Well! How nice. Thank you, Reisen.

. . .

Ah-hem.

[One must be polite, after all. Bow levitates one of the blobs to her mouth, fully prepared to mask it within her ectoplasm into Reisen leaves. Perhaps a chew or two for emphasis.]

Mmmmmmmmmm, this is really something e . . . Really. Really . . . Actually. Hm. It's delicious!

*Shinku is in your front hall*

This was your home? It's very dusty.

[slapwithpanache]

Perfect for a haunting, isn't it? Would you like to see my room?

[the_5th_doll]

Sure, why not

[slapwithpanache]

Wonderful. Mind the fourth stair -- It triggers a warp portal that sends you behind that painting. Or would you prefer me to carry you?

[youkai_hunting]

But I was giving out presents to just about everyone! You also! Didn't I give it to you?

[slapwithpanache]

Erm.

[Come to think of it, the green-haired girl looked vaguely familiar.]

. . . Possibly.

[youkai_hunting]

It's right there!

[She points to a parasol that was lying there. It's a miracle!...wait a minute...]

[slapwithpanache]

Erm.

[Bluff! Bow makes an excellent recovery and swoops over to elegantly twirl the parasol behind her.]

But of course! I knew the announcement would leave you confused; it was merely a ploy to thank you in person. What a lovely design. It quite matches my color scheme. I am grateful, Miss . . . erm. Sunny. Sandy. Sauna?
