There aren't many spirits in this world. 👻🚫
🧐🧐🧐 Or maybe there are and they're just hard to sense❓

Still, this time of year would usually be when they're most active so it's a little disappointing. 🪦🥀

I know. I've heard telling stories 🗣📖 can invoke the gods and other spirits (~'o')~ So why don't we tell some stories? (◍ ´꒳` ◍)

If we can tell a hundred tales then maybe something surprising will happen. But a hundred would take a long time and the game isn't as much fun if it isn't in person... 👻🏮🏮🏮🏮🏮😔

Well, let's just tell as many as we can❗❗❗(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ )🌟
There are so many of us from other worlds so there should be something interesting to hear. 🔮

(Summer is spooky season in Japan! It's time to share ghost stories and other tales of the mysterious and unknown. Or just talk to Tsurumaru about spirit things. He's here to have a good time.)

what kind of story do you want to hear?

[cranekin]

Your best one.
The more surprising the better!

[eyescar]

ok let me think for a minute

[cranekin]

Don't take too long. I don't want to die waiting.

[eyescar]

i wouldn’t let you die like that tsurumaru-san

[cranekin]

I'm dying Yuji-kun. 👻
You're killing me.

[eyescar]

... souls are meant to move on, aren't they?

It might be a good thing for them not to be around.

[cranekin]

Ideally, it's best for them to move on.
But this is the time of year when they can visit so usually it's more active.

i was part of the occult club in school and we found it in a box in the grounds
so my senpai wanted to play around with it and see what it was
i was going back with them but i was late because my grandpa died

[cranekin]

Ah, I'm sorry for your loss.

[rikugan]

[cranekin]

(GOJO......)

I'll hear you out.

[undrowned]

I see. So they can have that choice as well. How lovely.

I have a story, if you're not tired of hearing them. [ a very small pause before she adds: ] It's not the best, but it was scary to me when it happened.

[cranekin]

Right? It's one of my favorite times of the year.

I'm not tired yet! So tell me your best story.

This just happened before I arrived here ....

I had just finished work, and it took me to the late hours of the night. It was dark, and I was very tired.

I went to my favourite restaurant to eat something for dinner. I'm alone - they were about to close, but I asked them if I could just have something for the road. The owner was very nice and let me eat my fill.

Finally, after eating so much. I stood up to pay.

.... And that's when I realized I'd lost my wallet and had nothing to pay with for all that I ate. [ thunderclap.mp3 ]

[cranekin]

(Excellent mood setting. He's into it. It's simple but establishes all that it needs to and he's captivated!!!

And while the story might not have a scary ending in the traditional sense, he can't deny the social anxiety it might trigger in others.)

Uwah... 😰😰😰
what happened next?

[undrowned]

Well, I had to call both of my friends to help. Auntie was nice, but not that nice. In any case I feel bad asking for an IOU.

They helped me pay for my meals, and then I spent the rest of the week taking on odd jobs to help pay for my debts. I found a wallet I can secure more easily too.

this story takes place late one night in vegas
a silly lil man stumbled on a vendin machine sellin cakes
feelin hungry & bein naturally vulnerable to sweets he decided that he would just buy two to eat
but as he was payin for the cakes unbeknownst to him a piece of his robe got caught in the lever
so when he pulled on it
his robe got caught
in a panic he yanked on the lever again
& again
& again
& again
& again
until he was completely stripped bare in the middle of a bustlin hotel
& had to get promptly thrown out by security for public indecency
he never got his robe back
the end
