[Forge clicks on with a rustle, a thump-]

Hah. Twins. ...should'a known. This place is so fucked up.

[-and a groan.]

Y'know, nothing nice ever happens this time of year. Must have somethin' to do with the dates. This old guy on Atia gave me a name for it, but I can't remember it. [Naruto's voice is muffled, exhausted.] Something to do with dead

It's one of those American holidays, I think, but I never really understood the point of having a holiday surrounding ghosts coming to scare you. Back home, what's chasing them is usually even scarier.

[couragetodare]

American? [He only knows New York sob. Sceptical pause.] ... Ghosts comin' after people doesn't sound like much of a holiday.

Wait. Something chases ghosts? What the hell?

[slaythemoon]

Don't look at me, I'm Japanese. I don't understand half of what comes out of that country.

Yeah, we got these slightly... bigger things called Hollows that eat the ghosts. If you can't see 'em, it's not so bad because you don't know what's going on, but when you can, it's a little hard to ignore. Also makes watching horror movies a lot less interesting.

[couragetodare]

[Wait for it.] What's Japanese?

So, wait, that shit is goin' on all the time, and people can't see it!? And- and, aren't ghosts dead people!? So they're eating people?

[Pause.] Horror movies?

I think we had something like this on my world, way back in the ancient times.

Be thankful it's only a few days out of the year. It could be all day, every day, and with worse things than just ghosts. [Like on Lucian's world, for example.]

[couragetodare]

Sounds like... your world sucks.

I'll be thankful when I get home and away from all this crazy crap! I'd take bijuu over ghosts any day. People should be allowed to- to rest! Whenthey'redead.

[Voice]

[lightofvengence]

It does. [It's true, so he's not about to argue.] But it's my world, and I'll fight to my dying breath to win it back.

I'm all for letting the dead rest. Believe me.

"Bijuu"? Never heard of those before.

[sucker_punches]

I didn't know that happened, with your father.

... are you okay? [Concerned, obviously, about the thumps and groans, but also oddly tentative.]

Y-your Dad's ghost?

The candles. For those that should be remembered? The were ...perhaps 'nice' is not the exact word, but it was a good thing, yes?
