Ugh. Ten minutes into Narborough and I’m ALREADY lost. How do you people do it? There are so many roads and alleys and houses and shops… I’m pretty sure I’ve been going in circles for the past five minutes at least. But whenever I try and stop to ask someone, they just mutter something about “ghosts” and walk away. You people sure are weird. All I’

...May I help you, miss?

[astrapophobia]

Hmmm, maybe. But not if you’re going to call me ‘miss’. Yuck. How well do you know your way around Narborough? Though it might not help much since I don’t even know where I am. And everything looks so similar too.

[knightstrife]

I've lived here my whole life.

I suppose- then how should I address you?

[astrapophobia]

Really? Well that would’ve been helpful if I’d talked to you before I came rushing in. Unless you have some magical power and found me or something. Too bad.

Rikku would be fine. And so what do I get to call you?

[knightstrife]

Well, if there's any place that you want to get to, I could try to give you directions, I suppose...

Ah, I'm Cloud. I'm sorry if the people around seem a bit on edge, but there's been talk of things happening around here for the past few days.

[astrapophobia]

Thanks, but I think it's pretty hopeless. Someone suggested I just sit it out and wait for a knight to wander by on patrol or something and ask them. Actually, I'm not even sure I know where I want to go... I don't know the city at all.

Well then, it's nice to have spoken to you, Cloud. Things happening? That guy who said something abut ghosts haunting the city wasn't serious, was he?

[knightstrife]

Ah... I am actually a knight. I suppose if you're looking for an inn or something like that, there are a few in the city center, that way. [gestures towards the general direction]

I'm afraid he was.

[astrapophobia]

Oh! You are? Heehee, I guess I should have guessed from the way you were talking, huh? But still, that helps! Now I won't have to sleep in a doorway or something! ...The inns aren't all that expensive, are they?

He... was? Real, transparent, floating, moaning ghosts? T-They aren’t still around are they?

[knightstrife]

Nn... well, I suppose it depends on the sort of inn that you're looking at. Most of the ones in this city are fairly respectable, though.

There were quite a few of them in the days past, but the sightings seemed to have lessened. It- it was quite worrying.

[astrapophobia]

Well, um, I don't have that much money right now, so... hehe? I don't mind dropping down a few respectability notches if it saves me a little.

Well if they're starting to go away, that's good. I don't think the dead are supposed to bother the living. But hey, did you actually see any?
