001 Cynic || [Video/Action]

Ok. Well. This is new.

[On the camera is a very bored looking girl. That's right; bored. Not afraid. Not crying in terror of the ghosts that have swarmed her, trying their best routines in an attempt to scare the pants off her, despite the gorey illusions the spirts seem to be able to create. No, the girl just looks bored out of her wits.]

Hey, you

[Sephiroth watches the video with curiosity, before sending his own reply. It takes all types, he supposes. And if her attitude can be backed up by ability, he's sure she'll do well enough here.] The mansion is hardly a place of amusement. But it's tolerable enough.

[hasnocookies]

Really? But I'm having so much fun.

[Her tone doesn't display even the hint of amusement; just plain, teenage boredom.]

Seriously, who wouldn't want to be imprisoned in a big, haunted mansion; doomed to be forever surrounded by idiot ghosts?

[sickofloveless]

[He makes a soft sound, something close to amusement but not quite a laugh. Such sarcasm.]

Some might find it a somewhat pleasant change of pace. Not many, but some.

[hasnocookies]

Better than High School, I guess.

[In the corner, a group of ghosts wolf whistle at a gang of female ghosts. This strange, foreign mating ritual is then followed by annoying giggles and muscle flexing.]

Is it too late to withdraw that statement?

[sickofloveless]

I wouldn't know.

[He shakes his head, staring in odd amusement.]

No. It's not too late. But you might be warned, they will start singing at some point. Most of them here seem to thrive on the sound of their own voices.

[hasnocookies]

Luck you, then. High School is an experience most would love to skip.

[She's pleased to amuse, even though those ghosts are really getting on her nerves.]

The minute they start singing, I propose a mass suicide. Seems like the most reasonable thing to do, should the situation arise.

[sickofloveless]

I assure you that military education cannot be more appealing.

[They do have a tendency to bother and annoy.]

I'll pass on that. I do plan on leaving this mansion on one piece, eventually. The exits can't be held from us forever. [He pauses for a moment, thinking.] Ear plugs are crucial. Especially during their dinner parties.

[hasnocookies]

Military; gym class. Sounds similar.

[She snaps her fingers in mock disappointment.]

Damn. Why does nobody ever go for the mass suicide? Seemed like such a good idea. Although, living to find to find those wacky, missing exits sounds like something to kill some time with.

[sickofloveless]

Perhaps they are.

Hmm. Fear of ending up a musical specter might be part of it. I'd rather avoid that fate, no one deserve to be plagued with my singing. [He's trying to joke, but he's not the best at it.] Many have tried. It's certainly something to help pass the hours.

[hasnocookies]

Aw, don't be like that. I'm sure you're a great singer, champ. [She thinks it's a pretty decent joke... Then, again, she surrounds herself with the incredibly anti-social, and all their jokes are quite dry.] Still, I'm not gonna force death on you; I'm simply too nice.

[sickofloveless]

I suppose it would be decent for demoralization tactics. [He happens to be rather anti-social as a general rule, so there might be a reason for it.] How kind. If only our hosts were so gracious.
