[He looks for her frantically. All he knows is that Rita's in trouble, and that she looked to be scared, and that is Not Okay.

He pauses, asks one of the nice looking ghosts if he's seen her, and hurries in the direction he's been pointed in. It's odd that all of these new, weird-looking people are here, but hey, he's got bigger problems, and they seem nice enough.

And he finds her, crouched in a small ball, and reached out to touch her shoulder, concerned.]

Rita?

[kyudousha]

[She jumps. Literally. A sharp, very sharp intake of breath, and she very nearly burns his hand off.

But it's Spain. She recognizes Spain. She can instinctively recognize Spain the way she can recognize Estelle. She grits her teeth, looking utterly lost for one, fragile moment, before turning away angrily.]

Wh-what are you here for? The ghosts are everywhere. You shouldn't be walking around.

[love_lostomates]

[He frowns, and the position he is crouched in is a defensive position, aimed to block Rita from the ghosts as best as he can. He probably doesn't even notice that he has done so, either; it's instinctual, the want to protect her.

So he frowns, oddly serious.]

I'll be fine. I was worried about you.

Are you okay?

[kyudousha]

[D'awww, Spain. She doesn't even realize this, herself. She's just pressing herself as far as she can into the corner, as far away from the supernatural things walking about as possible.

A ghost peeks over Spain's shoulder. She lets out a restrained squeak, and pulls herself close.]

I'm fine. I've never been better. Now will you leave?

[ghost_profe]

[Why is it always fire? But Labrador comes up after a while, completely unbothered by the ghosts, and finds Rita.]

You know, they may not have chosen to be this way, Rita.

[kyudousha]

[She flinches.]

D-does it matter? And what the hell are you doing here, anyway?

[ghost_profe]

Yes, it does matter. [There's an edge of steel in his voice, Rita.]

I was getting seeds to plant.

[kyudousha]

[She hears the edge, and it's out of a morbid sense of curiosity that she asks.]

What does it matter?

[circusfighter]

[Someone said hiding? You just bumped into someone.

A tall, sparkly man. Who's sobbing in a corner.]

[kyudousha]

[WHAT. THE. HELL.

The weird sight allows her a small break from her panic, and she raises an eyebrow.]

Hey. What the hell are you doing?

[circusfighter]

I-I can't go out there, it's scary.

[He makes a 'D8' face.] I could see through her face.

[circusmisfit]

[Tsunreki to the rescue, apparently. What the hell is he going to do with you two? :| So he's just making his way through the grocery store, not bothered in the slightest by the ghosts. He planned to grab Rita kicking and screaming and drag her out of the grocery store to a place less ghost-inhabited, but it looks like there's some extra baggage there. Yogi, stop making his life harder.]

Remind me how old the both of you are?

[cuore_di_nebbia]

[She was just getting some chocolate. And then she saw Rita. Huh.]

...Miss?

[kyudousha]

[Still. Panicking. ;A;]

S-stay away! I'll burn you-

[cuore_di_nebbia]

[Chrome sighs, and it seems like the temperature drops, mist filling the shop and the ghosts seeming to vanish. ain't illusions grand?]

Don't.

[kyudousha]

[What is this magic she doesn't even- She stares in utterly jaw-dropping shock. Like. Whut.]

... they were never there?

[fontechnophile]

[so I was just passing through, and...]

...Rita? Are you all right?

[kyudousha]

[NO. SHE'S NOT. ALSDFJASK;

Suddenly, she's shooting a jet of flames at the far war. GHOSSSSTS ;A;]

Does it look like I'm all right?

[fontechnophile]

[poor Rita :(]

They're a little spooky, aren't they? They don't seem like they're dangerous, though...

[kyudousha]

[:C

Brb squishing herself into the corner. ;3;]

How can you even say that? They're ghosts. They're not natural. They're not supposed to be existing.
