Chapter 5.

Nothing like waking up to odd sounds at some-odd time in the morning.

Clearly you've never stayed overnight at a cheap motel before.

[shou_hunt]

Well, no. I'm a Japanese school student who lives with his parents still.

[theamericanpig]

And you've never traveled?

[shou_hunt]

Only around the country with the job that I do as well, but I've stayed in haunted houses.

[theamericanpig]

Haunted? Like spooky things you hear in the night haunted, or wake up and there's some woman in a flowing dress looking at herself in the mirror haunted?

[shou_hunt]

Haunted, like dragged off if you're ever alone and have your throat slit as you're drained of your blood so some crazy guy can bathe in it.

[theamericanpig]

Sounds more like a serial killer than a ghost.

[onceahuman]

Okay, now I'm curious.

[theamericanpig]

You should be.

[onceahuman]

You gonna tell me more, or do I have to worm it out of you?

[theamericanpig]

As tempting as that sounds, it really comes down to what you wanna know.

[onceahuman]

Surprise me.

[theamericanpig]

Well, the sounds I heard came from two men. One of 'em I knew quite well from my job in DC. I'm sure you can put the pieces together.

[onceahuman]

Would've probably made for an interesting scandal.
