[Around ten in the morning, Shiki comes bursting out of his house. He's missing all of his attire minus a pair of boxers and a black cat under his arms and the scar on his chest stands out with glorious wonder. Of course, he just woke up.]

G-G-G-GHOST!

THERE'S A GHOST IN THE HOUSE!!! UWAH!!

I NEED AN EXORCIST...OR SOMETHING!

Shiki! Are you unharmed?!

[artwithknives]

Who cares about something like that?!

[mustnotdrink]

You should!

[artwithknives]

But there's a ghost.

[mustnotdrink]

[Must resist urge to facepalm.]

Where exactly did you see this? If you are so frightened of it, I suppose I could investigate on your behalf.

[artwithknives]

It was in my room. I saw it when I was waking up so I dashed out of there.

[mustnotdrink]

...And you are absolutely certain it could not have been anything else.

[artwithknives]

I've seen ghosts before! I know what they look like.

[mustnotdrink]

And your response to a ghost is to run out into the street and yell about it?

[artwithknives]

What if it eats me??

[mustnotdrink]

[Sigh.]

...I doubt it is going to eat you. If that was its intention, would it not have followed you outside?

[artwithknives]

I've seen the movies. I know how ghosts work. They can't overpower me so they have to try to trick me.

[mustnotdrink]

Wait here. I will see this ghost for myself.

[Heading for the front door.]

[artwithknives]

...be careful.

[just sticking outside...like a scaredy cat. Enjoying finding no ghost.]

[mustnotdrink]

[After a thorough house inspection...]

There is nothing abnormal or even remotely noteworthy at all about this house! Since there is no danger of being eaten, please go inside and put on some clothing.

[artwithknives]

...how do I know this isn't some sort of elaborate revenge?
