[Good evening, Ruby City. It seems one of your captors is out and about.

Or in and about. Because behind him is the interior of the haunted house so many have found themselves plagued by. The second floor, with its closed bedroom doors--he's leaning against the hallway walls. He seems rather unaffected by its creepy atmosphere, even offering a ( Read more... )

...Having fun, Gene?

[Sarcasm? No. But Vash is curious.]

Where are you?

Can't you tell?

[Grin. Gene lifts a hand to his chin.]

Well...this charming new establishment. Just opened up recently.

That would explain why I haven't seen it. I've been confined to this bed for the better part of a week now. [His own healing body won't let him and neither will his attentive nurses.] For a "charming establishment", it seems to be rather... infested. With... ghosts?

Too right. Chatty things, too, let me tell you. [Gene glances over one shoulder. The soft chant of Theo and why? and more questions like why him? why betray us? are rising.]

Was "Theo" your human name, then? Temper told me that your first names aren't the names you had as humans. [Vash glances over Gene's shoulder as well.] I'm not ashamed to say I feel no regret that I'm currently confined to my bed and can't come join you.

Oh--? Yes. Or, well, Theodore. But everyone used to call me Theo. [Gene laughs, waving a hand.] Shame! Haunted houses are always more fascinating with company.

"Theodore Jecklin"? Hm. I think I like it better than Gene, personally. What were the other's names, if I might ask? I'm writing a biography of your family with all the spare time I have sitting around waiting for my skeleton to stop attempting to vacate my body.

[Vash is mostly kidding.]

I've never been big on the haunted house concept. There are too many real ghosts floating around to be bothered with the fake ones of contrived of imagination or boredom.

Ah-- You ought to ask them that, yourself. [Gene grins a disarming sort of grin. He doesn't actually know all of their names--or former names.] But our biography, hm? I'm certain it'll be a bestseller.

[A laugh.]

Somehow I didn't think you'd be the sort for haunted houses. Though, it's not really this lovely old house that's haunted...

[His expression is unusually thoughtful as he presses one hand to the wall opposite him. There's this nagging familiarity.]

...What other than the house could be haunted?

[Vash raises an eyebrow in confusion.]

The people that walk into it.

...That's an interesting idea. So why are those "ghosts" haunting you, then... Theo?

[Gene's eyebrows crinkle together at the use of his old name. How nostalgic.]

Ah, well. I suppose they're a little...displeased with me.

Displeased? Why on Earth would they be upset with you, Gene?

[He must be feeling a little better, he's at least trying to sound sarcastic.]

[Gene laughs at that tone.]

Oh, I wonder indeed. Me, charmer that I am.
