scary monsters ~endless halloween night~ 4-9 "all i need is a bed"

[mandytl]

 

 

Location: The Other Dimension - Ghost Ship Cove

Ortho: They all panicked and fled when they saw Riddle Rosehearts-san.

Ruggie: I mean, did ya see his terrifying face?

Jade: Excellent work. Another stunning performance.

Riddle: I'm not touched by your adulation! You're mocking me, aren't you?!

Ruggie: Relax. It’s not like you do that anymore, right? Swear we won’t spill the tea either.

Ortho: He’s right! Everybody’s got a dark past. There’s no need to be ashamed.

Riddle: How could I not be…?

I can’t believe… I can’t believe I wasn’t PREPARED for that rain!

Ortho & Ruggie: That’s what you’re hung up on?!

Riddle: It’s embarrassing to recall how complacent I’d become simply because I memorized all the laws of the Queen of Hearts.

I could’ve avoided that ugly situation in their lounge if my pride hadn’t gotten in the way.

But that's a mistake I'll never repeat.

Since then, I've always had an umbrella with me, so I don't have to worry about being soaked!

Jade: Riddle-san… What dedication. Truly a man of ambition!

When we return to campus, I'll notify both Azul and Floyd.

I’m sure they’ll find it absolutely hilari… —magnificent of you.

Riddle: Do as you like.

All pupils, not just those of Heartslabyul, benefit from the Queen of Hearts' teachings.

Ruggie: All I got outta this whole thing is that Riddle-kun’s a total weirdo.

Ortho: Yeah… —Nnh?

There’s a door inside that cave! Maybe it leads somewhere. Let’s check it out!

They step into a blinding white nothing.

Location: The Other Dimension - Bizarre Staircase

Riddle: This looks… similar to where we found Jade.

Perhaps we can get in touch with the Headmaster. Take out our enchanted mirror.

Something slashes at Riddle.

Riddle: Wh—?! The mirror was slapped from my grasp!

Ruggie: Who goes there?!

???: … You came all the way to the Ghost Realm just to stay crazy dedicated to communicating with your superiors?

Is it really necessary to be so gung-ho?

Pans up Azul.

Azul: Siiigh… What a pain…

Riddle: Azul?!

Azul: What's the point in resisting when we'll all turn into ghosts one day...?

Might as well spend the rest of our days eating and sleeping if we’re heading to the same place. All I need is a bed. Yaaa~wn…

Ruggie: Azul-kun would never say that! He's constantly on the lookout for an opportunity to strike!

Ortho: Azul Ashengrotto-san got possessed by a ghost, too!

Azul: Ugh. This sucks… Even standing’s a hassle. Let’s just, lay down and talk…

Down we go.

Ruggie: He, uh. Took a seat…

Azul: Breathing is such a chore. You should be grateful I’m even talking to you.

Riddle: Belittling me as he relaxes is infuriating in a way that his usual effortless sarcasm isn't…!

Azul: You’re causing your blood pressure to spike for literally no reason. Grats on burning those unnecessary calories.

Riddle: Ughghgh!!!

Ortho: What should we do? His personality’s way too similar to my brother, I can’t have that!

He’s your dorm leader, Jade Leech-san! You’ve got to do something!

Jade: It could be fascinating to keep him in this state for the time being. Why don't we just leave him be?

Ortho: Huh?!

Riddle: …I refuse to do that, even if his vice-leader approves!

He might be a sleazy, devious scoundrel who concocts schemes to prey on those around him…

But Azul is always eager to go above and beyond. That alone I admit!

As a fellow second year dorm leader… I considered him a worthy rival! And yet…

I'll personally lop off his head if he keeps exposing this slovenly side of himself!!

Let’s go, everyone. We’ll force him to clean up his act!
