Selene Devout

She frowned slight;y, unamused as he let go of her hand. She had thought that there would be a little bit more too him after all. It would be quite the disappointment if he turned out to be dull and boring. "Have a seat. I'm about to indulge in some lovely cheesecake." She extended the invitation with a gleaming smile, deviously musing about a myriad of perverse ideas.

Slackey had not expected him to dodge out of the way. In her experience, peopl seem to like hugs.
As the furball touched the floor, she simply said "Oh, Ethaaaaan, where aaaaare you?"
The haystack of hair that followed, reached up to 12 feet in height.
It was not too surprising to see big strands of hair formed inside of that mess.
As soon as 8 of them pointed upwards, they started grabbing around like tentacles, searching for the 'ball of fur'.(Ethan)
"I'm comming to get youuuu."

@ViolentViolet
Virgil thought about it. "I guess I have some room for dessert." He sat across from her.

@Samdragonx
Is she that much of an idiot? I mean I'm right here. Ethan just shook his head in disbelief as he watched her search for him.

Ohmygosh it was a ghost.

knew it.

Mizu stood on the pavement for a few moments, her survival instinct and curiousity competing as usual. Mizu had never seen an actual ghost before (little did she know of the real ghost eating cake in her favourite store) so surely this called for a proper investigation?

She clenched her little fists towards her face and nodded quickly to herself. BANG BANG BANG went the ghost, and she winced for a minute.

It's alright. Don't let yourself back out!

Mizu approached the spooky noises and peaked her head over the dumpster, spying.... a man?

"HelllooOOOoooOOOooooOOOoo~!" she said in what she thought was a sufficiently spooky ghost-voice (otherwise how else would the ghost understand her?).

@Mae

Surprised at hearing the squeeking right behind him, he could do nothing else than sink through the floor. Partially succesfull and partially reshaping the dumpster under his 300 pounds of weight.
In a low and deep voice he (Not looking at her)

Ehh.. Ye.. yeeeEEEeeEEss.. I aaAAAaaam a GhooooOOOooost
You must.. ehh.. clooOOose your eyeeeEEEees when talking to meeEEEeee...
You may not seeeEEEEee my face.. or yooooOOOooouuuUUUUuuu will get the Chicken-pox!

He tried desperately to deceive her, sweating heavily and slowly sinking deeper into the metallic parts of the dumpster.

@Samdragonx

Mizu squinted and just about saw the shape of someone in the dumpster when the ghost spoke. "Oh no!" she said, jumping back and screwing her eyes shut. She even covered them with her hands to be sure.

"Oh wait. I mean. OoOOOoOOOoh nooOoooOOO! PleEEasEee dooOOn't giveEEe meeee chiiiickEEeen poOoxx!" she called back, not really sure what chicken pox was, but it certainly sounded scary.

Oh dear. She hadn't thought this through at all, had she. The ghost sounded very upset. hmm...

"DoooOOOoo yOOOOooOOo like caaaAAAkkkeeee?"

@Mae

Aki didn't know how else to handle the situation.
Though he just realised he could move around next to her freely and getting a closer look if she kept her eyes closed..
As he carefully digged his way out of the dumpster, he saw the most beautifull and stunning girl he thought he'd ever lay eyes upon.

In a sigh of both relief and realisation that his attire was covered in people's garbage, he grabbed the dumpster and made it shake at the sounds of his voice.
Yes, yeeeEEEeeaasss go gatheeeEEEeeer this... Cake?

The metallic undertone made him confident to walk around her, giving his eyes great plessure. Not realising that the filth in his shoes made a lot of other noises too..

Getting free cake, though it might not be great food, perhaps he could let her bring him other things or do things for him.

I will join you theeeeEEEEEeeere at the caaaAAaakeeshop

He tried to place one of his gloved hands on her shoulder and stay behind her to guide her to the cakeshop.

...@Bishop...

oh gosh, what did ghosts look like? She didn't actually know, come to think of it. How bad were chickenpox? Chickens weren't so bad. Was it some sort of ghost-chicken thing? She imagined ghost chickens would be less scary then regular ghosts... hmm.

Mizu fidgetted on the spot, trying to fight the urge to look. She heard lots of banging about, and squelching, and rustling of bags. Perhaps the ghost was going shopping? She dared to peak through her fingers for the briefest of moments, though she only saw the colours of red and gold.

Eep! The wind brushed by her and she screwed her eyes tight, pretending nothing had happened, even though she was shaking a little. Suddenly a ghost hand - an actual ghost hand! - was on her shoulder. Gosh, it felt so real.

"WhhhaaaaAAAATTTTTttt caaaaAAAkeee dooOOOOoooo yoOOOOOOoooou waaaAAAnnt tooOOOOoo eAAAttt?" she asked as she stumbled forward a step or two, not used to walking with her eyes closed.

City

The last surge of alcohol sliding down her throat was like water at this point - her poor, poor liver. Laying down money on the bar, Sage popped out of a small hole in the wall bar, waving to the bartender as she left. Clearly, a regular - but also if you're in the service industry you all know each other. She put her headphones on, and started to bob her head to the hiphop beat melodically playing in her ears. It was her day off, she had pulled 4 doubles in a row and was ready to relax, it'd be a while till she got drunk her tolerance was a little high. To say the least. The hole in the wall bar, she herself worked at, was understaffed which led her hours to surge.
Sage inhaled the crisp city are through her nostrils, tucked her hands into her jacket pockets and whirled around on one heel only to be stopped by a force coming at her. She landed promptly on her butt, her eyes wide with confusion and surprise "Whoah, my bad dude". She laughed, looking at her hands for damage, and burped slightly - mmmm, whiskey. She stood up, and brushed off the bottom of her dress off.

[anyone]

@Mae

Aki was completely focussed on his attire. Her gentle shaking was soothing his worries.
"Cake with lots of Dirt. We'll want to take a left here."
In his careless confidence, he spoke normally as they slowly approached the cakeshop.

"..."
A full ten seconds of walking and stopping later, he realised he had just blown his cover...

Her shoulder released, he attempted to make a run for it. Entering the first door he could find.

@Letmehaveone2

Park

The hair started overwhelming the direct area.
In a matter of seconds, the tentacles waved over the floor like a bad Tsunami oveerflowing in all directions.
Slacky rose in the center of the waves looking at Ethan with an evil smirk across her face she brought forth:
"Come here!"
She extended her hand as 2 hair-tentacles flew tip first in Ethans direction.

Finishing his ice cream and half the pie the little boy turned his coin glass upside down on the counter and left. It was a little place with only a couple of chairs so there wasn't a need for a waitress and so the woman from before, the cashier, came and took the coins.
"Ohhh, he shouldn't have."- and right as she picked all the coins up the ghost was sucked away from the kid and into the woman.

*20 seconds earlier*

The boy got up and left after leaving the coins on the table but the ghost had forgotten that one of them was HIS coin. Leaving the store he made to cross the street until he had one of those I-just-screwed-up moments. Before he could even think about turning around he was now possessing the woman.
*Tired sigh*
"Well, again, as long as I'm here better get that cake that was denied from me."
Sitting behind the counter on a chair he/she? got a strawberry cake and started eating.

@Bishop@Mae

City - Cakeshop

Blinded by fear, a man with banana peels and plastic bags on him(Aki), bursted through the door with little regard to his environment.
Diving and hiding beneath one of the tables he finally came to his senses.

Breathing heavily, he saw a pair of childs feet..
Sticking his head out from under the table, he saw the little child carried a finely shaped pure alloy copper cup.
Sliding his hand gently across the reinforced concrete floor, the most vile of thoughts crossed his mind.

There might have been eating sounds in the room but if he got away succesfully... there would be no witnesses.....

"Hey there little boy, what you got there?" The look in his eyes became 'haunting'.

@Samdragonx@Bishop

"oh, you talk english as well as ghost?" Mizu asked with a relieved sigh, still managing to put one foot in front of the other without walking into anything. Tap tap tap tap.... was that footsteps dissapearing or something else? Mizu stood in front of the cake store for a few moments, trying to detect the ghostly presence. Had it gone?

She dared to open her eyes, lowering her hands from her face. There was no-one around that she could see. "Hello? HeeeEEEeeellooOOOo?" Mizu asked, spinning around in quick circles in the hope she was fast enough to see the ghost if it was standing behind her.

Nothing!

"Wow!" she said, running into her favourite cake store and slamming her hands down on the counter, in front of a staff member eating strawberry cake. "Guess what! I just met a real life ghost!" Mizu squealed happily, not realising she happened to be talking to one, and completely oblivious to the one who had tricked her hiding nearby.

As soon as she mentioned the word "ghost" the cashier nearly choked from the cake she was eating. Some light punches to her chest she swallowed the cake down.
"Ohh, uhh, a ghost you say? They aren't real..dear."- a sweat running down her forehead and a blush on her face. Was it from choking? Or from something else.
"So.."- he looked around once more as to remind himself where he was and who he was.-"Anything I can get for you?"

All the while he was talking he looked around for that strange man who entered? Didn;t they have some store policy for bums? Or at least grown trash man...
@Mae@Samdragonx

@Mae@Bishop

"Why don't you come with me, little one?"

His red and golden glove reached out towards the child..

The conversation turned him arround. That tone.. that joyful smile...

His sweat broke out.. Maybe she hadn't recognised him enough..

He tried to play it off as cool and fast as he could.

"Son, come on, we haven't got time for this."
He firmly grabbed the childs arm and started dragging him towards the exit.. hoping to not catch 'HER' furre eye..

All the while he was looking at that trash man while only half listening to what the girl was saying. As soon as he grabbed the child by the arms he left the counter and stood between the door and him. He didn't care if the trash man was the kid's father or uncle, he didn't like seeing injustice.
"The child was still eating his pie"- gesturing at the plate of half finished pie that he himself didn't finish when he was inside the child-"Let him be."- and with this all the attention was focused towards the man.

@Bishop@Mae

Aki couldn't stand the risk of being spotted by *her* due to this conflict.

He decided the only option he had was letting go of the child and hiding the cup. The child's suffering would have to wait..

He showed off how he released the child and looked the lady in the eye. With his low and dark(even lower than his deep) voice he replied:

"Look, lady, i've had a really bad day." Pointing towards her. "I don't have time for this this."

His hands still being mid-air, he tried to step by the lady and head for the door. (Hiding the cup in his other hand)

With a smile on her/his face the possessed woman replied:"And remember, the trash can is on the back alley right of here. I suggest you stay there next time."- she said as she stepped aside to let him pass.
"And don't show your face in here anymore"- she said as he went outside, her eyes closed and her smile unchanging like a creepy doll.
Going back to the counter she put all the coins in her pocket there and thought about getting one more bite before leaving this place.

"Ghosts are real!!" Mizu persisted, her face screwing up in desperation. "I know I met one, for real. I didn't see it though." she leaned in close, wide-eyed. "I think they're invisible, you know." she whispered as if keeping the secret of some grand conspiracy.

Mizu turned at the sound of a customer's voice. He looked oddly familliar somehow... "Oh dear, have you tried the cake here? That always cheers me up." but then the man had been kicked out and the lady was heading behind the desk, pocketing coins as Mizu watched her do it.

Staaaaaare. Staaaaaaaare.

"um," she said hesitantly, "I don't think you're supposed to do that?"
