scary monsters ~endless halloween night~ 3-11 "am i wrong, brothers?"

[mandytl]

 

 

Location: The Other Dimension - Sleepless Castle

Trey: We crossed mountains, a valley, a river… and now we’re finally walking toward the castle gates after all that trouble.

Rook: If it’s as I envisioned, like in the play, “Laugh with the Moon in the Dead of Night”, there will be ghosts standing guard nearby.

Do you remember what we discussed, gentlemen?

Sebek: Naturally!

Rook: Then, as of now…

We’ll initiate Operation “Pose-As-Ghosts-To-Extract-Information”!

Pans away.

Ghost A: I finished my rounds. Nothing unusual to report!

Ghost B: Good work out there.

Rook: Bonsoir!

Ghost A: W-Who the heck’re you three?!

Rook: Why, only a group of friendly ghosts passing by! I would be a vampire ghost.

Trey: I’m a skeleton.

Sebek: And I, a lóng.

Ghost A: A vampire, a skeleton, and a lóng?

Ghost B: … That’s one suspicious combination, I might add!

Trey: ( Suspects right off the bat, huh… )

Sebek: ( Was imitating ghosts too tall an order for us to achieve?! )

Rook: Goodness. How your accusations wound me, bon ami… 

All living creatures become ghosts eventually. We’re all friends here. Whatever species you were in your past life is but a trifle.

We’re merely trying to delight in our lives as ghosts without being bound 

Am I wrong, brothers?

Sebek: B-Brothers?! You mean us?

Ghosts: *Staaaare* …

Sebek: B-But of course! Race is no obstacle we can’t overcome!!

Ugh! To think a mere human would put his arms around my shoulders with a smile and call me BROTHER…!

Rook: And that’s why you must help us, my friends.

It seems we’ve lost our way en route to the party.

Rook flashes the invitation.

Ghost A: Ohh. An invitation to the Halloween party! So Our Esteemed Host gave you a summons, too.

Ghost B: Party guests, huh. Guess that means you’re in the clear.

Sebek & Trey: Phew.

Rook: “Too”...? Which means you also plan to attend?

Ghost A: Of course! We’re going straight after work.

Ghost B: All you’ve got to do is collect these shards here to reach the venue.

Hee hee hee! Have you found a precious mirror shard yet?

Sebek: Found… ?

Trey: Uh, no. Not yet.

Man, we’re in hot water. Wherever could those shards be…?

Ghost A: Hmm. Well, they got scattered every which way quite a while ago…

They could be underwater, caught in a tree, or even lying on the floor somewhere.

You’ve just gotta keep your eyes on the ground.

Ghost B: No worries. It’s cake once you get the hang of it. Just found mine back at the castle moat. Look!

He holds up a glass shard.

Ghosts: Wha?!

Ghost A: Hey, bobcut. What vampire casts their reflection in a mirror…?!

Rook: Oh, dear. Perhaps it’s because I’m just absolutely alluring today?

Ghost A: And you’re talking about your complexion?! Unbelievable!

Ghost B: Could you three be the rumored humans skulking about?

Trey: T-They’re getting worked up fast… Time to make a run for it!
