Hey~!

_{[The redhead is smiling cheerfully.]}

Does anyone know any good ghost stories?

_{[...Though, he's actually more interested in knowing how many people here are afraid of ghosts~]}

[blazing_heart]

Those are fine, too.

Hmm, well... what kind of story do you want to hear? About mountain, creepy forest? Or maybe something different? _{[he can think of something.]}

[video]

[immamartillo]

Then I'll trade you one for one a' yours.

...Creepy forest sounds appropriate, given how we're surrounded by trees.

[video]

[blazing_heart]

Alright, so...

There was once a traveler, who decided to head through a forest, even though people told him not to go there, because it was too dangerous. The traveler thought that if he goes during the day everything should be okay, but after a short walk through the forest it was suddenly getting darker and darker. It seemed as if suddenly the day changed into the night.

The traveler thought it was strange and wanted to go back, but he lost his way in the darkness. When he was beginning to think he'll never find the way out, he heard a voice.

[immamartillo]

I assume the voice wasn't some kind stranger just offerin' to show him the way?

[video]

[blazing_heart]

...Why are you so sure~?

The travels followed the sound and found out that the voice belonged to a strange, elder woman. She was sitting on the ground and looking as if she couldn't stand up. Her face was hidden by the hood.

"Please help me!" she said to the traveler. "I tripped and now I cannot stand up. I need to go back home..."

The traveler gave her a surprised look. What was she even doing here, he wondered.

"If you help me, I will show you the way out of the forest tomorrow." the woman offered suddenly.

The traveler didn't have much choice and helped the woman to get back to her home. The woman gave him something to eat and a place to stay for the night, but told him to never open the door to the other two rooms in her house.

But as you can probably guess the traveler was curious why she said something like that. When he couldn't hear the woman anymore, thinking that she is asleep, he sneaked out of his room and headed to the first closed room.

[immamartillo]

'Cause that's how stories like these usually go...

Ah c'mon, who'd be stupid enough to open the door?

[Firo probably would, but that's beside the point.]

[video]

[blazing_heart]

...You wouldn't be curious to see what's inside?

[video]

[immamartillo]

...Well... Yeah, maybe. But that doesn't mean I'd go and open it right away!

[He would.]

[video]

[blazing_heart]

_{[he chuckles.]}

For some reason I find it hard to believe.

[video]

[immamartillo]

Hey, what are ya sayin' that for? I can be patient.

[video]

[blazing_heart]

Really?

_{[he doesn't sound like he believes you]}

[video]

[immamartillo]

Of course I can. Now are you gonna finish the story or not?

[Yep. Totally patient.]

[video]

[blazing_heart]

_{[Mao laughs.]}

See? You're not patient at all!

[video]

[immamartillo]

Just 'cause you stopped at the good part.

[video]

[blazing_heart]

If you say so~

[video]

[immamartillo]

I do say so.

[And to prove that he is patient, Firo will cross his arms and shut his mouth as he waits for Mao to get on with the story.]
