Halloween... Reminds me of obon, kinda. I think I missed obon this year. Maybe I'll make up for it tonight; head to the graveyard and pray for the dead. Can't hurt, especially with all the chaos that's been going on. Too bad I don't have anything to give them..

halloween, obon, spirits

I've never heard of oban... what is it?

I can keep you company if you want, or...

We normally hold an obon festival back home, only it's usually around... August-ish. You pray for the dead, leave them offerings, try to call your ancestor's spirits to your house. It's pretty fun. We made chouchin lanterns and hung them in the windows and...! ...Anyway, it doesn't matter too much here, but I dunno. I guess I'll do it anyway.

You can come. If you want to, that is. I don't mind having you around. Besides, I kinda needed to talk to you about something anyway...

That sounds pretty fun, actually. Do you wear those yukata things we wore for that festival a while back?

Sure...What about?

Yeah. I think I'll pass on that this year, though. Too uncomfortable. After tanabata, I put that thing in the back of the closet and haven't touched it since. ...I don't think the spirits will mind this once, do you?

...Long story short, a friend of mine showed up, only we're not friends and he blames me for him almost dying and I sort of pissed him off and that's not a good thing since I think he's gone crazy or something. And, aheh... I think he might go after you if he finds out.
