scary monsters ~endless halloween night~ 2-3 "i'm about to throw my hands up"

[mandytl]

 

 

Location: The Other Dimension - Sleepless Castle

Rook: Ohh. Behold this beautiful spectacle!

The moon, so vast as to swallow the surrounding darkness. The hushed flapping of graceful bats overhead. 

That castle, ornamented by their presence, as if it were draped in an elegant gown!

A scene as majestic as it is delicate, yet why does such fragile beauty seem on the verge of vanishing? 

What do you two think?

Sebek: What do you think we think?!

Rook: Why, you’re brimming with energy, Sebek-kun. That passion of yours sets my heart aflutter.

Sebek: What carefree nonsense are you spouting when we’ve met yet another dead end?

We’ve got to find the right path, rejoin the others, and rescue both Malleus-sama and Lilia-sama!

Trey: Whoa, there. Calm down, Sebek.

Now’s not the time to take in the view like Rook, but we should at least be aware of our surroundings.

So far, Riddle and the others are nowhere to be found in this spooky place. Just where are we?

The enchanted mirrors we were counting on aren’t working either. I’m about to throw my hands up.

Rook: Fufufu. There’s no need to worry!

I’ve got an inkling of where we are.

Sebek & Trey: You do?

Rook: Have a look through the woods on our right.

Sebek: The woods? The trees are too dense for... —hm?

???: I drew closer just to make sure, but… they truly are the living… 

Sebek: A voice from within the fog?!

Trey: Something’s coming right for us!

Ghost: Our Esteemed Host ordered us to bring back any living we find!

Sebek & Trey: A GHOST?!

Ghost: Now, come with me—and quietly, mind you!

Rook: And to where does this ghost beckon the living? The implications are quite intriguing… 

I’d love to accept your invitation, but unfortunately, I am not alone.

What do you say, gentlemen? 

Trey: I’m not daring enough to take some strange ghost up on their offer.

Sebek: As if I’d listen to some impudent ghost who came barging in barking orders!

Ghost: Ohhh. How absolutely cheeky!

Then I suppose I’ll just have to force you!

Battle commences.
