[Here we have Ichigo, looking thoughtful, and dressed to go out despite the lateness of the hour. Despite what some of his friends might think about his early inability to check the date and the news feed, there's one news article that hasn't escaped his attention and now he intends to do something about it.]

So that house that's supposedly haunted. I'm gonna go find out if it is or not. If anyone else who can see ghosts feels like joining me then go ahead, but if the news is gonna make a big deal out of it day after day then someone oughta find out one way or the other before this gets outta hand.

Oh hi, Kurosaki-kun.

I was planning to go investigate myself, if you'd like some company.

[video]

[blackmoonrising]

Sure, why not. The more the merrier right? Besides, if there's ghosts in there then we'll just get done quicker if there's two of us.

[She turns the video feed off while she gets ready.]

Do you think it really is ghosts?

[switch to voice]

[blackmoonrising]

Hell if I know, but it's worth checking out. Better to get them moved on if is than risk someone pissing them off and a Hollow showing up. I've seen what happens when you get idiots poking at ghosts who don't understand what a dumb idea that is, it's not pretty.

I wouldn't be surprised if the place is something worse than just haunted.

[blackmoonrising]

Just gives me more of a reason to check it out, to be honest.

[askedtobe]

I take it you know what you're doing?

[blackmoonrising]

You could say that. I've been doin' it since before I got here and I'll be doin' it long after I'm back home where I belong.

[Is it really ghosts, or could it be Kor? Frau hasn't really mentioned those being here yet, but it probably wouldn't hurt to check and see, just to be safe... So here, have a somber looking young man giving a slight nod.]

Ah... I'd like to see this place, if you don't mind.

[Video]

[blackmoonrising]

[Ichigo shrugs. As far as he's concerned, keeping the ghostly population of the city (if there even is one) under observation is something he needs to be more on top of. The last thing anyone needs is a Hollow on the loose.]

No skin off my nose, it's not like it's my house or anything.

[Video]

[cracked_container]

[Perfect. So long as this house isn't Frau's apartment, because it might get a little complicated then. Speaking of...]

Thanks, um... Oh! Name's Teito Klein. Where should I meet you?

[Video]

[blackmoonrising]

My name's Kurosaki Ichigo. I guess I'll meet you over there. Bring a flashlight.

[Never mind the fact that it is after the sirens and darkness has fallen. Kurosaki Ichigo doesn't afraid of nothing.]

[it always hurts to see this boy, now that she remembers things about their past but sometimes, no matter how often he shows up different she still finds herself compelled to speak up. Even if she'll always be a stranger to him.]

[She gave a charming sunny smile like normal]

You woild be interested in that place. I wouldn't put it past it to be haunted. There are a lot of haunted places around here.

[video]

[blackmoonrising]

[Well... that's an interesting thing for a stranger to say. He frowns a little, tries to recall if he's met this girl before (doesn't think so), and picks his answer carefully.]

Seems like people who shoulda been paying attention to that kinda thing haven't been. Can you tell me where else I should be looking at?

[A pause because that first part about him being interested in that sort of thing is still bothering him.]

...uh, we haven't met have we?

[video]

[controllingluck]

[Oh yes, not the best thing to say, and by now she should be better about saying anything that might make one think she's met them before. Go figure]

I'm sure I could point out a few places that are said to be haunted. The area is loaded with strange tings. Though I suppose it's harder to tell if they are really ghosts or someone with odd powers...

[a soft sad smile given here...]

Not that you would know of, no.

[video]

[blackmoonrising]

Lemme guess, you knew me when I was here before. You wouldn't be the first person I've met who remembers me when I don't remember them.

[He shrugs; nobody ever said anything in his life would go easily for a change.]

Anyway, if it's ghosts I'll figure it out sooner or later.

[asano_san]

Couldn't you wait for trouble to come to you for once?

[video]

[blackmoonrising]

If I deal with it now then it's just gonna be trouble for me and nobody else if things get outta hand.

You coming?

[video]

[asano_san]

What?!

[manipuleights]

[ Normally she ignores the ramblings of stupid humans, BUT... ]

Ghosts? Are people REALLY that bothered by them?

[ Let's not pretend that she wasn't ambushed by them before and nearly driven insane. No one else needs to know. ]

[audio]

[blackmoonrising]

[Excuse you Vriska he is not dumb, he is only mostly dumb. There is a difference.]

Some people are, some people don't even know they're there half the time. Long story.

I guess you're not bothered by 'em.

[That's rough, gurl.]

[audio]

[manipuleights]

Bothered by them? Please! It would be pretty dumb for a dead person to be afraid of ghosts, don't you think?

[ Life is hard and nobody understands. ]

Sounds like fun.

[blackmoonrising]

Sounds like a pain in the ass if it IS ghosts.

I'll keep you posted.

[theshortestbird]

Ghosts aren't that bad, as long as they're not trying to freak you out.
