💯 🐷 💘🍔 😊  for Andy,  💭 🍃 ❤️ 🤔 for Caspian, 🎮💤🎄🐉 🍦 for Willow and 🎻.🎶🍎💛🍸 for Raven please? <3

Ohhhh *rubs hands* thank you so much weasel <3 Surprised to find Raven instead of Adrian *wiggles eyebrows*

💯 HUNDRED POINTS SYMBOL — share three random facts about your oc that others may not know. Hahaha what don't you guys know by now? I'm a slut for talking about my boi! Aaaalright now... let's see what I can shake out of the Andy bag... 1. He prefers white wine over red, though he likes both, I mean, they are alcohol, right? 2. He used to write a diary, but he got tired of his own whining. 3. He secretly enjoys old Danish movies from the 40's-70's, but is for some reason embarrassed to commit to it in front of others???? 🐷 (previously answered) 💘 HEART WITH ARROW — what and/or who do(es) your oc consider the most important to them? His partners and kids are the absolute most important to him, equally. After all those people, there's a lot... comes his parents, uncle and then his friends/other family members. If I have to handpick just 5 people that would be the absolute most important, from my perspective, as in 5 he "couldn't live without", it would be: 1. Evan. 2. Congo. 3. Adrian. 4. Willow. 5. Raven. 6. Sam. But that's my opinion.

🍔 HAMBURGER — is your oc good at cooking? are they good at baking? which one do they prefer? Andy is very good at cooking and pretty good at baking as well. He 100% prefers cooking though, but his baking skills improved massively after he got Oscar, since he only live of sugary sweet things, Andy had to get skilled when it comes to making food for the little one. 😊 SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES — what are your oc’s career/general life desires? what do they want to get the most out of life? Andy is still a musician, he's just not as active as he used to back in the band days where they toured the world for years. He has been wanting to get back on stage, alas he hasn't had the balls to actually do it yet. What he most want in life is love and simply having the best time he can possibly have. Just being happy being alive, having fun, exploring, seeing, feeling, tasting.

💭 THOUGHT BALLOON — what is your oc’s MBTI, enneagram, and/or other personality aspects (if known/interested in)?

Well... yeah XD *snorts into my wine* and yes I took the test for him, enjoy! XD

🍃 LEAVES FLUTTERING IN WIND — what is/was your oc’s favorite subject in school? He absolutely hated school, not a single subject he liked, and he barely passed the exams.

❤️ RED HEART — what are three of your oc’s positive traits? Hm.. he's a pretty quick thinker, he's creative and he's not a quitter.

🤔 THINKING FACE — what are some of your oc’s quirks/mannerisms? He bites the skin of his thumb when he gets stressed/anxious. Just the very corners around the nail. And he always cracks eggs into a glass before throwing them on a pan, cause he absolutely can't stand eggshells in his food. It drives him up the wall!

🎮 VIDEO GAME CONTROLLER — what are three of your oc’s favorite hobbies? 1. Messing with her dad (Andy) 2. Shopping. 3. Drinking alcohol/getting drunk. 4. Talking shit. 💤 SLEEPING SIGN — is your oc a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? how are their sleeping habits? She's definitely a heavy sleeper, and she always sleep naked unless it's with family or friends, then she'll wear panties and a tshirt. She sleeps in a big king sized bed with huge pillows and comforter blankets, with some sort of bright black/neon colored sheets, 'to make her dreams pop'. 🎄 CHRISTMAS TREE — what is your oc’s favorite holiday? Surprisingly perhaps it's Christmas and not Halloween. However, the spooky bitch has Halloween as a close 2nd. She just finds Christmas absolutely enchanting and magical. 🐉 DRAGON — what is your oc’s favorite mythical creature? Hands down unicorns. They remind her of her dad. But she also really likes mermaids/sirens (the real creepy kind, not the Disney version) Oh, and El Chubacabra. 🍦 SOFT ICE CREAM — what is/are your oc’s favorite ice cream flavor(s)? Willow is very into the brand Ben & Jerry's. Her top 3 favorite of those are: 1. Cherry Garcia. 2. Phish Food. 3. Red White & Blueberry.

🎻 VIOLIN — does your oc play any instruments? what is their skill level (beginner/intermediate/advanced/virtuoso/etc)? Technically he can play both Violin and Piano excellently. As a matter of fact he could do it professionally and with expertise, but he likes to overlook that he plays instruments, cause it's connected to something dark from his past. He also plays guitar really well. And he's perhaps more casual about that and doesn't hide it as well.

🎶 MUSICAL NOTES — what type of music does your oc like? do they listen to music very often? Raven has a very wide music taste, and can listen to pretty much anything. He perhaps surprisingly enough, is most into 60-70's Rock. He listens to music fairly often, mostly when he's home alone, where he tends to listen to classical music. 🍎 RED APPLE — where was your oc born? do they still live in/around their place of birth or do they live somewhere else? how do they feel about their birthplace? Raven was born in Ireland, about 1898 years ago, give or take. Possibly closer to 2000+ years ago, but if you ask him, you're going to get just as vague an answer as I am giving you now. Thing is, the McKinney clan is so old, they have stopped counting birthdays. However, his Grandfather has been alive since the dawn of time. Long before humans ever walked the Earth. Raven currently live away from the castle where he was born/grew up. But he still has a room there, and quite often visit. He's very attached to the place and it's still very much home to him.

💛 YELLOW HEART — how many languages does your oc speak? what language(s) are they learning, if any? He fluently speaks Irish, Scottish, English, Welch, French, Italian, Japanese, Spanish and German. And he speaks Norwegian, Icelandic, Russian and Dutch pretty well. 🍸 COCKTAIL GLASS — what is your oc’s favorite alcoholic drink, if they can drink? Most people would probably guess red wine, or Whiskey and he does like both very much. However cold beer, straight from the bottle is his favorite.

Wendy, Darling by A.C. Wise is amazing for reasons including but not limited to

oh, he's a little bit fucked up actually (Peter)

spooky, slightly creepy

Consequences happen

Wendy got sent to a mental asylum because she insisted that Neverland was real. So we get a bit of emphasis on how a lot of people in asylums like that were not actually 'insane' or 'delusional' or 'dangerous' just their families didn't want to deal with them or whatever

They haven't said any queer words, but Wendy is aro and her husband is gay (screenshots below the cut)

Wendy has a friend from the Kainai Nation, which is a real First Nations group in Canada. The first time Wendy meets her, she thinks she looks like Tiger Lily

Also, that friend is at the asylum because her mom died and her stepdad didn't want to take care of her, because he was a jerkface

When Wendy goes back to Neverland as an adult, she looks at the pirates and Indians and goes oh, that's Peter's idea of what Indians should be....oh this is kind of messed up actually

and she asks Tiger Lily about her people, her culture, what their stories are like without Peter

Peter is extreeeeemely fucked up actually, reminds me a bit of the Collector

Anyways this is a pretty good book, I'm glad my brain yeeted me back to the Neverland phase. Not done yet but ohhhh my gosh Peter is creepy goodness gracious

it's a story about love

[vonlipvig]

It appears the loading screen character is a ghost in the DLC art. I think it's just for spooky vibes but "main character dying, doing ghostly shennanigans and being forcefully revived" is on my bingo

yeah, right? he looks really creepy there, but yeah as you say, it's probably for the vibes, but OHHHH MY GOD i LOVE your theory, that's insane, possibly very violent, and of course, hilarious, so i would not put it past them to go for it!

[malewifegradyruewen]

onto part 3!

oooh creepy vibes LOVE it

haunted house real???? I was kidding earlier but… that’s some spooky shit

hmhm everything about the house and the people there is somehow just a bit *off*, and you do an amazing job of showing it!

maslow’s hierarchy of breeds but it’s just living in this eerie old manor. I’d probably be dead in two days but the vibes are immaculate.

ohhhh that library… fuckin gorgeous

WAIT WHAT

NATHALIE’S GONNA LOSE HER IMMORTALITY

super curious about this cavalier though I won’t lie. they sound interesting.

canon they/them cavalier de l'ombre btw. adds to the vibe.

tehe are they really your blorbo is you're not putting them through extreme agonies??

also re: your third point, that is the best compliment i've ever received, tysm!!

[amb00bs]

Ah shit! An EDM fan? I can honestly say that I don't really listen to EDM, so I have no idea who those artists are. However, Skrillex has absolutely killed in concert every time I've gotten to see him perform. Is that annoying? That I only really know Skrillex? Lmao. How about you throw some song titles out, and I'll give them a listen?

The Conjuring was genuinely the scariest movie I have ever watched. Which is saying something, because I'm not easily scared. I do love a good slasher film, though.

"Ladies and theybies" took me the fuck out! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Should I stay anon? Is there a rule book on these things? 😄 (I realize that this is Tumblr, and anarchy is the rule here, but I like playing the game). 😂

Ohhhh yes, edm is a huge part of my life, it's all I listen to! I'm a raver hahah. But nah, not annoying. Just sad you've missed out 🤣 but I don't mind sharing music! Check out the "Now You See Me" album by Rezz, it's dope.

And yeah, that series is so creepy! That's why I love it so much. I love that spooky shit, even tho is scares me sometimes as well lmaoooo

But hey, it's completely up to you if you want to stay anonymous or not. Whatever makes ya comfortable!

[tsuki-sennin]

Starshine Hoshino continues his epic saga!

And after that... from what I've heard, a somewhat uncomfortable clingy childhood friend story. My favoriiiiiite..

(Oh and also further information we learn about the Dark Sisters and what is in the big scary hole in the Ouroboros Realm I guess)

Spoilers, I guess...

-Spoooooooooky ghoooooooooooosts~! And our only help is Kajiki and fucking Jugglus Juggler.

-"Does anybody here hate the chief? :<" isn't a question you should ask over the chief's body, I feel.

Kajiki: "Among us..." Rinne: "Dude, he's not-" Kajiki: "AMOGUS-!"

-Huh

-"Burn the wizard! Burn him!"

-"No fightiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing~!"

-Kamen Rider Gotchard taught us that humans were the real monsters.

-...how many people have made that joke?

-Rinne...

-Renge-san...

-Spooky little ghoast~!

-Nana...

-I

-What is that pose, who decided that

-Oh, Nana knows something, don't she?

-Imagine telling your friends that you were stuck posing with Takaya Aoyagi for a bit.

-Hello, Atropos~!

-What do you think about, Rinne-chan?

-"You suck. :<"

-Oh Christ, the fox.

-Oh, Appareskebow! Haven't seen that one in a while.

-The shrine...

-Watch out for snakes wha-

-That was a long shot

-Hello, Nana

-A whole other level of Malgam, perhaps?

-Man, Hotaro's really mixing it up today.

-Exorcise them!!!

-YOOOOOO RENGEEEEE

-Cosmic Chemies united! Light the darkness and strike at evil~!

-Okay, sure Mr. Ninetails.

-Welcome home.

-T

-The kitsune...

-Onsen!!!!

-Huh...

-Guess our troubles are over?

-Kitsune-sama...

-Think I've had enough of god foxes for a while.

-Occult Detectives.....

-Mr. Hoshino...

-"He's gonna go crazy... :<"

-YEAAAAAAH

-Fuck real estate speculators~!

-Thanks, Nana :)

-Alright, next episode

-Romeo and Juliet for Xbox Live

-Byeeeeee Juggler, I'll miss youuuuu

-Senior year, bro! Good on ya, lad.

-Rinne-chan, Kajiki-kun, good orning~!

-There she is, the transfer student.

-Tsukumo Sana- Er, Tsukumo Seina.

-Ohhhh, wait! That's Kanon Matsuzawa! She played Shiro Ogami in Revue Starlight and the Water Rail Orphenoch in the new Faiz movie.

-"Oh no, you two know each other?"

-"F-Fate?????"

-Good for you, Kajiki :)

-Already muscling in, eh Seina?

-Even Geryon's creepy homunculi feel sorrow.

-Ohhhhhhhh

-That's one big bastard.

-"My da

-SO SOSOSOSOSOOSOSOSOSS

-SONOZA?????? KIJINO./???????

-Oh, it's Shinnosuke Takahashi and Hirofumi Suzuki playing themselves, I see

-HOW DID I NOT HEAR ABOUT THIS LAST WEEK????

-Comedy...

-Ahhhhh, I see... putting the surprise cameo that wasn't in last episode's trailer contrasts super heavily with the dire state of the drama club.

-Romeo and Juliet. Forty thousand men and women everyday.

-To find that Gotcha...

-"I'm not a leading man, but... Okay!"

-We studied Romeo and Juliet extensively in one of our lit classes. I was Mercutio.

-Crosscasting, Hotaro! You've got a lot to learn, son.

-Hi Minato-sensei.

-Lachesis...

-Oh hi Clotho~!

-Little sisters got conflict.

-Going all out right away, huh lady?

-I see... Clotho's championing the form as all powerful, and yet even as a being made out of Geryon's alchemy strong enough to fight Gotchard even untransformed, she can't handle Dread at maximum power.

-"You're really hurting my feelings, Spanner... :\"

-Romeo and Juliet...

-Ten seconds and you cry.

-Hello, Seina-chan~!

-Y-You remember that too, huh?

-He's 1% of a man and she's 99% likely to have Chemy Trouble! Rinne-chan don't stand a chance~!

-Okaaaaay, I'm gonna have to ask you to tone it down a bit Missy.

-Kudo...

-THEY ATE HIM

-A bond of brotherhood reinforced by malice.

-"Uhhhhh..."

-"Still the same lonely little girl you always are."

-Rinne????

-Just like that, eh? How about that?

-She was frozen today!

-I know Rinne's a teenager, and I realize that her relationship with Hotaro is integral to the story, but like...

-Man, idk, there's gotta be some smoother way to go about this.

-"I done fucked up."

-"I'm going to kill your ass. For my Dad!"

-Okay, I see what they're going for now

-It's all these different elements coming together to cause a reaction.

-Since I'm here, I guess I'll keep going

-"She's dead, Rinne."

-Believe, Kudoh!

-MoonCerberus, yay~!

-One fast doggy

-Be thawed, girly!

-Welcome home, Blizzammoth~!

-Yippee~!

-Kyoka-san...

-Yeah, who is that guy?

-Meikoku no Ou...

-"Hi Dad :)"

-"Do it. End them. Kill them all, my dear daughter! Oooooh~!"

-Ah, yep, Romeo's murder of Tybalt. Guess they are being thorough.

-Tsukumo, c'mon girl

-Hero?

-Ah....

-I suppose it's quite serendipitous that the Alchemist Association didn't accidentally wipe those memories too.

-New Malgam dropped

-Hello again, Spanner~!

-He got Splatooned

-Awwww, Spanner...

-Kamen Riders, yes~!

-To hell, children~!

-These're some fun camera and editing tricks here

-Rinne...

-"You did it, moron~! You killed your friend~!"

-OH????

-A trick~!

-Exgotchalibur~!

-Oh yeah, solar eclipse. We had one of those.

-I didn't get to see it, I lived too far away.

-What's Your Fire, once more~!

-Hoooooo! Heat!

-This is how Romeo and Juliet ended, right?

-Ma

-Mackraken.....

-"Yeah sorry I can't watch this anymore."

-We saved~!

-Drama Club is saved forever~!

-"Go away."

-"Moooooom, c'mon! I made that! What an unfunny joke!"

-Keeping her creepy sadism on our side is good.

-OH HELLO?????

[ethereal-maia]

harvest, fireside, and spice for the ask game! (Also I love the name of your ask box, it’s so cute !!)

harvest - what fictional character do you most identify with? Why?

ohhhh this is a hard one bc there’s so many!! My go-to is typically Lilith Clawthorne from the owl house:

sighhh… she’s so me fr. I think I relate to her a lot bc she is:

The oldest child

we look a little similar (especially kid her, not pictured here)

she’s confirmed aroace (!!!), I’m definitely aspec 💥 (questioning ;—;)

cursed her younger sister because her younger sister was smarter than her (a move I would pull)

loves history

punched the villain in the nose when she traveled back in time and he still has the scar from it breaking 300 years later (a move I would also pull)

we have many similarities you see, and so she is me 💛

fireside - if you had your dream wardrobe, what would it look like?

oh ho ho time to pull out the Pinterest board I see

I really like 50’s-70’s fashion so I’d go for something along those lines.. All the skirts here are pretty short, so maybe a couple longer skirts w/tight vests, maybe with gauzy shirts with puffy/balloon/flare sleeves? I also LOVEEE platforms and flare jeans especially if they’re funky. I’m going to be very honest: my fashion game was changed the day after I read anne of greenville by Mariko Tamaki. It’s a FANTASTIC book and the main character is really into 70s stuff as well!! Changed my brain chemistry fundamentally.

spice - have you ever encountered a house that you believed to be haunted?

OMG so my friend when i was a little 4th and 5th grader liked to scare herself ok? She would tell spooky stories ALL THE TIME!! There was a bunch of stuff with closets I think? And stuff with creepy dolls.. toys that “moved on their own”.. We were scared of the basement for no reason and 3 am was a horror zone we wouldn’t dare to stay up past. Since then I don’t think I’ve been in a house I think is haunted for a while. Fun for 9-10 year old me though lol

11x18 Notes

-at least no yellow filter on the Saudi Arabia set

-even in the Middle East the character that gets a name is a white guy. Expected

-Crowley running in the rain on an angry phone call with Dean is so funny

-why does Rowena have Amara I literally don’t remember. Is this just a plot hole or. Whatever bro

-I hate the thing this show keeps doing where it shows a scene from before but with new stuff added

-Crowley looks like an angry cat

-Crowley Sam Dean interactions are so funny. Dean and Crowley are both trying to be the ex that doesn’t give a fuck anymore while Sam acts like just talking to Crowley is sullying him. Which is big “talking to your bestie’s ex” energy

-CASIFER IN HEAVEN

-all the angels dress like Tik Tok influencers with beige babies

-Gay ass Castiel screaming crying as Lucifer straddles a man with his body

-“Hey if it makes you comfy you can call me God” needs to die immediately specifically because mishafuckers love it

-It’s not an it, Sam. It’s Cas

-I didn’t know Crowley was here lmaoooo

-I think they just got Rowena and Amara in the same room so they would have a scene that finally passes the Bechdel Test

-He who hesitates, snap disintegrates KILLER line

-It’s taken so long for the God Like Entity famous for being able to bend reality to actually bend reality. Like a better show would have her actually destroying the universe like episode 3. You know. So that there are real stakes and the big bad actually has menace

-I hate the Casifer lip bite

-the way the music becomes softer as Cas comes back and Dean talks to him…

-CAAAS

-hey what the fuck???

-ohhhh Cas is in the bunker :) oh it’s his happy place

-Dean wants me to expel Lucifer? 🥺 and Misha said he was only playing Cas as gay in S15

-three people in Cas’ vessel

-Amara puts her hands on Cas’ face and Dean looks like he’s going to cry

-jackles jacting JOICES bro

-let’s find that idiot and bring him home…….

-okay I have to admit God actually showing up for Lucifer when Lucifer’s whole deal is. Daddy abandonment issues

-Jimmy Novak’s body could withstand a bomb tbh

I was really engaged this entire episode. It’s really good but the parts that are good highlight the main failing I have for this season, which is the inability to build a compelling villain in Amara. Although she’s supposed to have God-like powers that can bend reality, we haven’t really seen her use that at all. She doesn’t hurt Dean, so there isn’t really stakes there. She also hasn’t done anything spooky other than the disease episode 1 and the storm clouds, but they really missed an opportunity to actually make a creepy antagonist here. But good lines and solid plot stuff plus characters I like 7.5/10

[wof-reworked]

So like the tales of like don’t go out side alone or you will die also strangers bad and the monsters for those tales are supposed to be horrid and scary but the angsty teens went like oh yeh horrible monster more like my cults entire reason to exist (artic annon)

ohhhh yeah !!! I mean I have a few actually, though less in the spooky monster vein. They're as follows:

-------------------------------------

-Icewings who end up stranded or drowned on the ice floes/sea ice are reincarnated as polar bears (polar bears are also seen as omens of death/lost spirits by lower class Icewings, while royal Icewings may hunt them to show off, hunting a polar bear is often seen as bad luck/marking yourself for misfortune)

-The inverse is snowy owls- they're considered friends and good luck. When in doubt, follow a snowy owl.

-Icewings hatched at night under the Aurora Borealis are often stereotyped as unearthly and strange beauties, some myths claiming you can spot them because of the pearlescent color of their scales.

-during the fall, Icewings will gather the last remaining wildflowers and summer grasses to make bundles to hang in their homes in the hope of warding off especially cold/brutal winters.

-Lighting campfires outside during the long night in the winter is considered bad luck- putting out a light like that can act as a beacon, and you don’t want to attract unwelcome attention. Since most Icewings are cold resistant and don't routinely use fire (with the exception of oil lamps), this is a non-issue 90% of the time.

-If you know how, you can read your future in the first icemelt on a river- the shapes and the way the current runs will tell you about the course of your life.

-I think a lot of Icewing superstition is less focused on tangible monsters and more on the Idea of bad things happening?? In a lot of ways it's very cause/effect- if you do x, y will happen. It might not be a monster coming out in the woods, but stuff like trees suddenly falling on you, ice breaking, family members turning cold, the kind of slow burn misfortune that can sometimes be scarier than being hunted down by a giant monster.

That said, I know you also came here for creepy monsters, soooo here’s some Icewing urban legends:

-----------------------

-There’s a story of two Icewing dragonets who left their village to find food during the winter. Too young to fly, they walked through the dense taiga forests, searching for anything edible, until they were hopelessly lost. They starved in the woods, but they weren’t allowed to rest, now endlessly walking and enlisting the help of any Icewing who’ll help- only to lead them deeper into the woods, until their victim becomes lost and starves too.

-An Icewing princess, one of the early animuses, wanted to create a beautiful menagerie for Icewings of all classes to enjoy- with tamed animals, the height of their species that could wander around outside of pens freely and interact with visitors. The first time she tried the spell though, the animals came out wrong. They were functional, but underwhelming: she wanted her gift to be truly special, not just a loose collection of common animals. Breaking the rule of one enchantment, she began to layer on more spells and tried creating more animals, each of them growing more and more distorted: bears with crooked, jagged teeth jutting from their mouth, walking on two unnaturally long legs, foxes with dragging, extra limbs and empty eyes, hares with twisted, upside down necks who could mimic dragon voices perfectly, the list grew on. The princess drove herself to madness trying to make them perfect, depleted of all her energy, all she could do was lay in her garden, eventually eaten by her own creations, who still wander the Ice Kingdom like ghosts, unable to die with the amount of spells on them. 

-There’s a group of Icewings who are dedicated to hunting killer whales- they believe it’s the ultimate sport, to be able to take down an animal as intelligent and powerful as you. They’ll stop at nothing, and the most graphic versions of the story involve them using Icewing dragonets as bait.

I really like writing Icewing stories, they’re always the most depressing imo. I hope these were to your liking !!

Hi!! I know this is out of the blue, but your AU The Edge of Night looks really cool, so I wanted to send some questions 👀

How did you come up with the AU? Any main inspirations?

I'd love to know more about Celeste! What are some fun facts about her, and does she have a faceclaim?

If you had to give the AU a theme song, what would it be?

Oh my gosh out of the blue or not, I’m always ready to talk about my AU! And thank you very much!!! I really appreciate that!!!

As for how I came up with TEON, it lowkey just kinda happened, I’m not gonna lie. I saw Brother Nero from some clip online and my brain went “Hey, he looks kinda creepy, I love him.” And that was sort of how it started sldkjf on top of the fact I love anything paranormal was a big, big inspiration too. Also on the basis of the idea of Celeste getting transported to another world in her sleep: I had a dream a really long time ago but it always stuck with me! I was thrown into another world that was pretty dark and I didn’t have very many allies except for one person. So, that’s where a big part of the AU plot came from. 2. Poor Celeste, she really does not have a good time for a little while in this au. But as for fun facts: she loves swimming! She could have gotten a scholarship to university if she actually wanted to go, but Celeste really didn’t want to. Also, she collects rocks from whatever place she visits for the first time but it’s gotta be a nice rock. Not one of those little gravel pebbles, those won’t do for her collection. As for a faceclaim… no she doesn’t have one sdlfj I’m awful about finding faceclaims for my OC’s. 3. Ohhhh as for a song… as a general spooky vibe it would probably have to be The Fog Rolls In from John Carpenter’s The Fog. But overall, (partially because it’s one of my favorite songs) it would have to be Heard Somebody Cry by Oingo Boingo, but mostly for the fact that the chorus of the song fits in really well.

Again, thank you very much for asking, I really appreciate it!

Yashahime Is Over Party: Contribution #2

“All right, all right!” 

The crowd of villagers quieted (some with a wince) as the high-pitched shout rang around the village entrance. Ten-year-old Moroha gave them one last warning glare for good measure. 

With, as her Great-Grandpa on the other side of the Well would say, “more gusto than should be necessary”, she then leapt upon the nearest height-offering surface - one of the tourists’ suitcases, emblazoned a dozen times on every side with “FRAGILE” - and began her welcome speech. 

“Shut your mouths and hold onto your butts, folks, because this is a real treat! The coolest village ever to exist in any timeline, on a sunny day! Since my big brother is at kitsune academy today, you all have the honor of yours truly acting as escort around this prime piece of feudal real estate!” 

Dramatic pause for emphasis. (Yes, she’d taken some liberties with the script that Shippo had left, and she didn’t quite know what ‘prime piece of real estate’ actually meant, but her cousin Towa agreed that it sounded fancy and fancy always worked with humans.) 

A soft-faced young woman glanced around the crowd self-consciously before raising a hand. “You mean, this is the village where priestess Kikyo - “

“Ahem!” Moroha held up the wooden sign hanging from her neck, tapping the carved-in letters spelling ‘Village Tour Guide #2” with one nail. “Are you wearin’ the sign?”

“Oh. Uh, sorry.” The woman blushed. 

After a moment, Moroha cleared her throat. “Okay, yeah, it is. But there’s a bunch of other super-cool people here, too! If you wanna meet them - follow me!” With that, she jumped from the suitcase to land solidly in the dirt. A few tourists reared back from the cloud of disturbed dust, putting them at the back of the moving crowd. 

“First up, the sister of the blah-dee-blah-famed-priestess-blah-dee-blah Kikyo - Lady Kaedeeeeee!” She swung both arms in a dramatic half-circle towards the healer woman’s hut; the crowd ooh-ed and ah-ed appropriately. “On days like these, she’s either healing a sick patient, birthin’ a new baby, or taking a long nap! Since she’s awfully old, the napping’s more frequent.” Hooking an arm around a teenage tourist’s shoulder, she hissed in a spooky tone, “Some say she’ll live forever, getting older and older until she’s like a living zombie-” 

“I heard that.” With a cross expression, Kaede leaned out of the window.“Don’t think I won’t curse you for those bad manners.”

Moroha waved the group on with a nervous chuckle. 

“And this is the home of the most famous demon slayer known to womankind - Sango!” Cupping both hands around her mouth like a bullhorn, Moroha drew out the last syllable of the woman’s name to emphasize her coolness. Several of the humans perked up with excitement; it wasn’t hard to imagine that they had themselves benefited from some of the woman’s work. 

“Her husband Miroku lives here too. He used to be a monk, but now he’s a family guy! My papa says -” She straightened, putting on a deep, gruff tone - “it’s a damn miracle -” Dropping the tone, she grinned cheerily at the group - “nobody will tell me why!” 

As if on cue, the door to the house opened to reveal a group of tall, bickering young adults. The loudest were two women with matching features, the only visible difference to a stranger being that one’s slayer outfit was trimmed in pink and the other’s in green. Behind them trotted a younger boy, also wearing a slayer outfit in red.  

“I’m taking the kusarigama, you’re taking the wakizashi!” The green-outfitted slayer said, ignoring her sister’s attempts to talk over her. “Otherwise you and Mom will have two long-range weapons, and that makes no sense!” 

“Plus that’s Uncle Kohaku’s specialty!” Their brother piped up; he dodged the twin elbows that swung back at him as easily as if they’d warned him. “She wants to impress him with it so he’ll take her on his trip to the mountains with Rin this summer!” 

Through the left-open door, came the sweet smell of treats baking - one of the many hobbies Miroku had taken up with his time, now that he wasn’t going to up and die (Moroha knew she wasn’t technically supposed to know about that. Or probably phrase it like that… But if her godfather Koga said it that way, why was it any different for her?)

The group of slayers stopped short upon seeing the crowd; with awkward bows, they quickly skirted their way around the gaping tourists. 

““That’s Sango’s kids; every one of ‘em demon slayer prodigies.” Slinging her arm around the same teen from earlier, Moroha shook her head with a dramatic sigh. “Makes me almost want another sibling. Except then I’d have to share my room, nooooo thank you!”

“Excuse me.” A mustached man in the middle of the group raised one arm curiously. “I heard one of those women mention Rin - is that the human who died twice and was resurrected by the sword Tenseiga?” 

“Huh? Oh, yeah. That’s Rin.” Moroha tapped her own head thoughtfully and muttered under her breath, “Was it really only twice…”

“Does she still live here?” The man’s mustache drooped in a frown. “Or did she go to live with that dog demon?”

“Dog demon? Ohhh, you mean Uncle Sesshomaru!” A smile stretched across her face. “I almost forgot about him! Nah, after she got married she decided to stay in town -” 

“Married?!” The group erupted in murmurs of horror. One kerchiefed mother clapped her hands over the ears of her daughter; the mustached man turned green.

Moroha’s face fell. “Well, yeah. She wanted to keep taking healer lessons from Kaede, and even though he travels a lot, she wanted to stay by Kohaku’s side when he comes home. Be a team, and all that.” 

“Ohhhh, so she’s Kohaku’s wife!” The human mother’s shoulders slumped with a sigh. “How lovely and age-appropriate.” 

Moroha wasn’t sure what that meant, but if it made the negative energy go away then she was all for it! “Rin’s super cool, anyway. She knows how to heal demons, not just humans, and she tells really good ghost stories, and she’s actually really good at arm-wrestling -” 

Suddenly she ducked her head to whisper, “She’s probably my favorite cousin, if I’m bein’ honest with ya.”

 “Do you have other cousins?” A man who appeared to look a thousand years old squinted in her direction. Perhaps in confusion, but it was hard to tell with all the wrinkles. “I doubt a full-blooded dog demon like that Sesshomaru fella would leave his legacy in the hands of a human girl.” 

“My mom would say that’s prejudiced,” Moroha said helpfully, causing the old man to blanche. “But Rin’s got two little sisters, who you can see riiiiiiight now!” 

With a dramatic twist, she whirled around to point in the opposite direction with both hands, adding a low growl that was meant to mimic the roar of an excited crowd. 

The moment was slightly underwhelmed by the confused looks of the tourists as they took a moment to figure out where exactly to look. That’s okay; she’d work on it. 

Down the road, her twin cousins leaned against the wall of a house (Moroha’s house, which she was saving for last because you always save the best for last). Towa was smiling and pointing out something up in the sky, while Setsuna wore a very predictable scowl. From this far away, the red streaks in their hair were little more than smudges. 

The extremely old man with an attitude problem made a weird hacking noise, most likely in surprise. 

“Did he adopt them like your other cousin?” asked a teenage girl. 

“Kinda!” Both hands landed on her hips; Moroha then modeled her expression on her Uncle - stoic, dismissive, oh-so-cool. “On a cool spring night, Uncle Sesshomaru walked into the darkest, deepest forest on the planet, waved his sword over a really old and creepy tree, and when he cut it open - there they were. Two lil’ hanyou babies.” 

Dramatic pause. 

“Just kiddin’.” Laughing loud enough to bring back the wincing from the group, Moroha slapped her knee. “They’re full demons. I can still take either of ‘em in a fight, though. Oh!” She pointed up in the air with a wide, excited smile. “There’s their mom right now!” 

Murmurs of confusion filled the air as the tourists moved their heads this way, that way; only when a chilling breeze morphed into flesh and bone, right before their eyes, did the group exclaim in collective understanding. 

Moroha waved. “Hi, Auntie Kagura!” 

“Yo.” Clearly taken aback by the crowd, the wind demon gave a tiny salute. The side of her neck bore a half-moon symbol tattooed on the skin; Moroha thought it was neat, even if her dad thought it was a dumb, archaic wedding ritual. “Do your parents know you’re doing this?” 

“Uh, duh!” She held up the sign with a cheeky grin. 

“Fair enough.” Upon spying her daughters across the way, Kagura’s expression softened a bit. “Well, I’ll see you later.” 

“No, wait! We’re actually heading the same way.” Gesturing to the not-moving crowd, Moroha repeated, “The same way. Meaning the best part of the tour - come on, folks, work with me here -” 

Kagura snorted, walking quickly as though to avoid the gawking humans and their nosy questions about how she had been resurrected or could still live now that Naraku was dead or got Sesshomaru to admit he had feelings much less have kids with her. A curt “none of your business” was all they’d get, no matter how much Moroha tugged on her sleeve and whined about “giving people their money’s worth.”

Luckily, once they reached Moroha’s house, it was easy to escape. After all, a much more awe-inspiring attraction awaited the group of lucky, lucky tourists. 

“And now! The Greatest Love Story Of Our Time!” With a winning grin, Moroha landed a kick on the door, sending it slamming open. 

“Oh.” Kagome blinked at the group from where she sat on a futon in the middle of the house, surrounded by magical artifacts. A scroll marked with ink rolled from her lap all the way to one side of the room. Behind her, halfway through helping her put her hair in a bun, Inuyasha froze “Uh, hello?”

“My parents! Dumdedumdummmmm!” The warmth of her pride felt like it was going to burst in her chest. It was the absolute best to come home to people who loved her! Whether it was tickle fights before bed, or her dad taking her and Shippo out on demon-tracking trips, or her mom humming a lullaby if she felt sick on the full moon night, Moroha was certain her family was the best of anybody’s anywhere. “One fell through time, and one fell -- fell, uh, for her -- sorry, I’ll work on it.” 

Inuyasha huffed in the way that meant he was going to complain later. Kagome just chuckled and waved. 

For once, the humans reacted exactly the way Moroha wanted them to - smiling, clapping, appreciating the wonder of her super-beautiful-and-also-hella-powerful mom and grumpy-but-still-amazingly-brave papa. She launched into the story she knew by heart, of how they had come to be together and saved the whole world while they were at it. Some parts were probably missing or misrepresented, from the laughter in her mom’s eyes, but she had enough of it right that half the tourist group was in near tears by the time she was done. 

“And now, they have one more accomplishment to add to the long list - parenting the greatest warrior this world has ever seen. Moro-uh, Beniyasha!” Swirling the ends of her fire-rat robe, she twirled. “The Crimson Slayer!”

“Slayer of my patience, maybe,” Inuyasha snapped, though he was unable to hide his smile as he marched over to grab her by the collar. “Come ‘ere, kid. You’ve got chores to do!” 

Tossing her over his shoulder, he waved dismissively at the group of humans. “Sorry folks, the show ends here. Yeesh...” 

Moroha cupped both hands around her mouth, screeching to be heard over her parent’s laughter before the door shut.

“Make sure to leave your comment cards in the box at the entrance!”

Halloween games prompt chosen by @dragonlovesstars for @thenaluarchive Falling for You event. Focusing on Nalu only in this story. I had an idea going in, sorry but yeah... the characters totally hijacked this story and idk what happened 😅

Most of the Fairytail guild celebrated Halloween like they did most holidays... or really most normal days, by drinking and partying. But that never stopped Mira from setting up games just in case some of the members were willing to play. The boozers got a game of Trick or Treat where they had to pick from shot concoctions that could be a nice treat or a yucky trick. Younger members were off playing spooky themed charades, and surprisingly a few chose trivia.

As for Natsu and gang, they signed up for a special game called Scary Treasure Hunt which Mira promised would garner them the best treasure prize in all of Fiore! She paired them in twos, and sent them off into Magnolia to search for this mysterious treasure with only a clue to the first location. All in all, five teams were playing for the ‘prize,’ and not so surprisingly, they were paired in couples. With any type of challenge, Natsu was pumped up and ready to play! So, as soon as Mira said ‘go,’ he was dragging Lucy out the door because there was no way Gray was winning the prize before him!

“Slow down Natsu!” Lucy jerks her partner to a halt. “We haven’t even read the clue yet!”

“Oh, right!” He laughs. “So what does it say?”

Lucy holds out the card and reads out loud. “Instructions. Follow the clues to each location where you’ll be given a riddle and a clue to the next destination. I glide over water and rock to and fro. The canals I may travel, but the docks are my home.”

“What?” Natsu questions. “A boat? That’s not a destination.”

“The answer is right in the clue Natsu,” Lucy rolls her eyes. “The first location is the docks where they tie up the boats.”

“Ohhhh!” He grabs her hand, “well let’s go! Time’s ticking!”

When they reach the tiny Magnolia harbor, the pair search around at each boat looking for their next clue. There were only a few, and most were the smaller boats used to navigate the water channels. Of course, when they did find it, Lucy had to climb aboard to grab the scroll.

“Read it, read it!” Natsu bounces excitedly.

“First your riddle. Salamander, Salamander! The crowd chants with spellbound delight. You’ve come to a crossroad, do you choose left or right?”

“I— don’t get it,” Natsu scratches his head. “Is it talking about me? What the hell is the crossroads?”

“Huh?” Lucy frowns too. “I don’t get it either.”

“Is that all?”

“No, um,” she reads further. “Over the hill and through the lane, to strawberry street we go. Reach for the stars. Hmm, maybe my apartment is the next step?”

“Or the roof?”

“Could be? I guess it’s worth a shot.”

At Lucy’s apartment building, they took the access stairs to the rooftop, but at first, they don’t see anything at all. It wasn’t exactly a big roof to search, yet they saw no scroll. Frustrated, Lucy walked over to the edge facing the street below and rests her arms. Where else on Strawberry street would Mira have sent them if not her apartment? Though, so far, none of this made much sense to her. She looked down at the ground when something stuck to the wall grabbed her attention. “Found it! But I can’t reach it.”

Natsu looks over the edge and realizes he couldn’t reach the scroll either. So, he hopped off the roof, grabbing it as he falls, and landed on the street below. Lucy raced down to meet him.

“Good catch!” She congratulated him. He handed her the scroll and she reads it. “First your riddle. Through a leap, you know no bounds, nor fright of night, just solid ground. Okay this is seriously confusing,” Lucy grumbled, but continued on. “The dead slumber in their beds. We find solace in their peace.”

“I’m gonna guess the cemetery.” Natsu states.

“I agree.”

This really was turning into a hunt, though Lucy was starting to wonder what it meant. All of these locations and clues seemed tied together somewhat, revolving around their lives. Did Mira make it that way so it would be easier? By the time they reached the cemetery, she was no closer to figuring anything out. Lucy shivered at the idea of walking around a cemetery at night. It was eerie, maneuvering around the grave stones, searching aimlessly through the rows for the next scroll. This graveyard had no ties to either of them personally, but just being here made Lucy think about her parents.

After several minutes of searching, they finally found the scroll that was left on top of a headstone. Lucy wrapped her arms around herself tightly, a bit chilled both physically and emotionally.

Natsu comes up from behind Lucy and reaches around to rub her arms to warm her. “You okay?”

“Yeah, must be the wind,” she blamed, but his added heat helped to send those chills away. Lucy opened the scroll. “First your riddle. In the dark, we seek the light, and when we find it, we hold on tight for it will always guide the way home. That’s it,” Lucy turns it over and back, “there isn’t a clue.”

“Could ‘home’ be the clue?” Natsu asks.

“Yeah, but which home? Mine? Yours? Fairytail?”

“Well, she sent us to yours once already, and she probably wouldn’t have us go back to the guild unless we found the treasure, so I’m gonna guess my house.”

Lucy giggles. “That’s pretty smart thinking.”

“I have my moments.” He shrugs.

As they walk back to Natsu’s cottage, it was becoming clear to both of them that this wasn’t really a scary treasure hunt, unless you count putting a scroll in a boat for a slayer or being sent to a creepy cemetery. No, Mira designed this specifically for them to figure out something, but what that was still eluded them.

Once they arrive at Natsu’s cottage, they go inside and start looking around. Again, just like on Lucy’s rooftop, it wasn’t quickly noticed. They search the place from top to bottom and still nothing. Where was it?! Natsu grabs a blanket off the couch to check under it, but drops it again when nothing is found. “Okay,” he laments, “maybe I was wrong and she meant the guildhall.”

“Maybe not...”

He looked in Lucy’s direction, who was staring at his wall of mementoes. And there, pinned up, is the unrolled scroll. “What does it say?” He questioned.

“Your final riddle. They are the ones we run to. Hold us close when we are afraid, soothe us in our melancholy. Laugh with us, cry with us. Protect, nurture, and push us to be better. They are our greatest treasure yet our most feared acceptance. What am I?”

“That’s not a riddle.”

“Well, not exactly... but it has an answer.” Lucy turned around to face him. “It was all about our journey here,” she smiled with moisture building in her eyes. “The day we met, the choice to go with you. That leap of faith cause I knew you’d catch me. You being there for me over and over again. It’s saying you are my greatest treasure.”

“I can understand that cause I always thought you were a treasure. But I don’t understand m the fear part or the ‘what am I’ question.”

“Oh,” Lucy blushed. “I-It’s describing a soulmate because it could be scary to realize when you’ve found yours.” It sure as hell was for her.

Silence gripped the room as Natsu’s face registered a blank stare. Lucy couldn’t tell what he was thinking, and frankly the longer he stayed that way, the more nervous she became. Was he not understanding her? What if he did understand her?! This is exactly the fear factor she had long tried to avoid! “Are you still confused?” She asked hesitantly.

“So... the answer is you’re my soulmate?”

“I guess, yeah you could say that.” Again he just stares and she could almost see the gears turning in his head as he processed her words. “Natsu?”

“Like Lucy and Natsu in Edolas? Or Nack and Lucia in Giltina?”

“Yeah...”

His brows furrowed, then suddenly a grin bursts free. “I got it! Making an egg is our greatest treasure!”

Lucy slaps her forehead. “Oh my Mavis! For the last time, humans don’t come from eggs, and even if we did, y-you don’t even know what it takes to make one.”

“Macao and Gildarts already told me what to do, but I’m still confused. Maybe you could show me?”

“W-what?!” She crisscrossed her arms over her chest.

“But the treasure?!”

“Natsu I’m not having sex with you to win a challenge!”

He walked over unphased and put his hands on her shoulders. “I don’t care about a challenge. I want our treasure.” He smiled wide. “Wouldn’t that be the best Halloween treat ever? I know you don’t think I understand, and I don’t about some of this, but what I do know, is after seeing Nasha, I just thought it would be great to have one of our own.”

“Natsu,” Lucy sighed, “its not right to have kids unless we both love each other.”

“You don’t love me?”

“I-I didn’t say that...”

“Then we agree!” He grins, “please Lucy, let’s make our own hoard of treasures!”

“Whoa! Whoa! Slow down Natsu! W-we just established how we feel but it’s another thing t-to jump into t-that, and we haven’t even kissed yet!”

“Pfft, well that’s easy enough,” he swooped in and placed a rough, sloppy kiss on her lips. “We’re at the crossroads Lucy. Is it trick or treat?”

Lucy was done, her mind was fried and her heart was beating so hard she felt woozy. None of this was how she’d dreamed it would happen, but then again just like their counterparts, maybe the spur of the moment was more their style anyway.

Lucy takes a deep breath. “Treat.”

A Girl and a Ghost Ch. 2: Wandering the Trails

YAAYYYY I FINALLY GOT MY LAZY BUTT TO POST THIS

anyways, as promised i finally wrote a second chapter! i hope you enjoy it :)

@salamifuposey @monsterbride99 just lettin y’all know this exists sjjddkfkd srry for taggin yall so much hope u dont mind aa

It had been a few weeks after Jawaii had met Phantom, and she began to see him regularly. After her meeting with him, Phantom had secretly slipped a note in her pocket that had the lyrics of a special song. If she were to sing said song, he would arrive.

Some mornings, Jawaii would wake up feeling as if befriending Phantom was all a dream. Like it never even happened, it was all in her own mind. But alas it was not, luckily for her. They would explore the town and forests and just generally have fun with eachother.

Jawaii was discovering so many new feelings... feelings she had never really felt before finally having a best friend. Each one was just as wonderful than the last.

One morning, Jawaii ran to the forest, summoned Phantom and they began to talk about what they wanted to do for the day.

"So what do you wanna do today?" Jawaii asked eagerly.

"Hmm, I'm not entirely sure... but perhaps I could show you my homeland?" Phantom suggested.

"Ooh! What's your homeland like? I bet it's cool!"

"It's quite creepy, I'll admit, but it does have a nice atmosphere."

"AWESOME! Can you take me? Pleaaaase?" begged Jawaii.

Phantom chuckled. "Of course! Now stay close, I don't want you getting lost."

And so, they were on their way to Spooky Trails, Phantom's home. Jawaii kept constantly pestering Phantom on the way, asking if they were there yet. When they arrived, it was indeed quite a creepy place, but of course Jawaii didn't mind.

"Wow... so this is your home? You like, actually live here?" asked Jawaii.

"Indeed it is! Hopefully it doesn't creep you out too much though..." replied Phantom.

"Dude, are you kidding? This is the most amazing place EVER!" she yelled.

Phantom was a bit startled by Jawaii suddenly yelling. "Quiet down, you'll disturb the spirits. They don't like being disturbed." the ghost gently reminded.

"Oh. Sorry spirit people. You guys are super cool though!" Jawaii began to skip ahead, with Phantom catching his breath trying to catch up to her.

"You're quite a brave young girl, I'll say. Not scared of Spooky Trails, ghosts in general... it's quite a surprise! I never knew there was a human who enjoyed our company and wanted to befriend us... let alone a child!"

"Duh, of course I'm not scared of you. You're amazing! And I bet all the other ghosts are just as wonderful as you are." said Jawaii.

"Aww, why thank you! However... it's quite rare that humans actually want us around, you see. They're either terrified of us, see us as an annoyance, or want us gone."

Jawaii began to realize how much she had in common with Phantom. She knew he had told her something similar the day they had met, but she never knew that he too was hunted down and wanted dead.

"...Me, my siblings and my dad are all wanted dead. Just because we're "evil". We barely even hurt anybody... I know my dad destroys planets for a living, and I guess that can be seen as bad, bu-"

"Jawaii, dear, apologies for interrupting of course, and I don't see you any different or anything, don't worry, but your father does what now?" Phantom had never heard of such a thing. Annihilating planets for a job! Who would do something like that?

"He destroys planets for a living. Besides, Dad tells me it's an important job, because if there's too many planets the galaxy could get overpopulated and it would be bad." explained Jawaii.

"Ah... fair point actually."

Eventually they made it to a large gate. It had bars shaped like musical notes and a dial shaped like a full moon.

"This is the Moon Gate, beyond it lies my stage, where I reside." said Phantom.

"You live on a stage? That's really cool!"

Phantom smiled. "It's sort of the only "house" I have. I'm glad you enjoy the concept though!"

Jawaii ran up to the gate and pushed it, pressing her entire mass against it trying to open it.

"Why won't it open?!" Jawaii growled, frustrated.

Phantom effortlessly pushed the gate open with his hand. "There you go!"

"...WHAT?!" Jawaii stood there, staring at him with her jaw dropped. "How strong even ARE you?"

The ghost rabbit laughed quite a bit. "I'm the only one who can open the Moon Gate when it isn't a full moon, I'm not THAT strong, of course."

"Ohhhh. That makes sense." replied Jawaii.

They walked up the pathway that lead to the stage. It was an absolutely massive stage, but also looked quite old. The curtains were a torn and tattered, and the wooden floor looked very scratched up. There were strange blocks scattered everywhere, with seemingly no purpose. The place definitely looked like it had seen better days.

However, Jawaii adored it and stared in awe and wonder at it.

"Your house is awesome, Phantom!" said Jawaii, running off to explore the place.

"Thank you, my dear friend! It certainly isn't much, but make yourself at home."

Jawaii climbed up and down the pipes, examined all of the spotlights, and she even poked around in the wires despite Phantom begging her not to. Needless to say, she would have nearly electrocuted herself if it wasn't for Phantom.

He introduced her to many of the Peek-a-Boos and Spooky Trails Rabbids who also resided here. She enjoyed talking to them, and yet again, it felt so nice to have people treating her as if she wasn't a threat, just a normal child. She could never get enough of that feeling. It was so wonderful to her.

About an hour later, Jawaii sat down in boredom.

"I'm bored now." Jawaii mumbled.

"Well, we have been here for quite some time, so I could see why. Would you perhaps like to go somewhere else in Spooky Trails?" asked Phantom.

Jawaii's eyes lit up. "There's more of this place? Heck yeah I wanna go!"

Her eagerness made Phantom smile. "Well then, let's head off shall we?"

They crossed a bridge over a rushing river (which Jawaii threw a stick into), passed by a few giant jack-o-lanterns and fed some hungry crows a bit of (probably very stale) bread that they found. Then they came to an enormous manor, which looked abandoned and loomed over the forest.

But Phantom was very uneasy about this mansion.

"J-Jawaii, let's explore this mansion a for just a minute and then we'll turn back, all right?" said Phantom, his voice shaking.

"Wait, what's up? Are you all right?" asked Jawaii, with concern.

"I'm fine. Just... look around for a bit and we REALLY must go back. Besides, y-you must be hungry after all of this, we should get a snack!"

"...All right, if you say so."

Jawaii wandered around the front yard of the mansion. She picked some flowers, examined some mushrooms (she tried to eat one), and threw stones against the wall of the mansion.

Phantom floated up to her as she was throwing the stones against the wall. "...We really need to get going,"

"But wh-" Just as Jawaii was about ask why, she accidentally threw a stone straight into a window in the mansion. There was a loud shatter and a horrifying shriek. Phantom immediately jumped in front of her, hiding her behind his large, round body. A big, spherical ghost with a crown emerged from the wall of the manor. He had piercing, glowing purple eyes with a cruel, furious stare. He had sharp teeth, which were bared in fury.

His crown's jewel had a massive crack in it.

Oh my God. thought Jawaii, immediately realizing how reckless she had been.

"FIRST YOU TURN MY TROOPS AGAINST ME, AND NOW YOU DESTROY MY CROWN?!" the ghost with the crown shrieked. "YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS, YOU CRUEL, DISGUSTING FOOL. YOU'RE GOING TO REGRET EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE TO ME."

Phantom quivered in terror, not knowing what to do other than to hide Jawaii behind him.

He gained the courage to speak. "I never turned them against you. I made them realize how horrible you treated them. If anything, YOU'RE the cruel one."

Jawaii knew she had to do something too. She couldn't just stand here and let the only friend she had possibly be harmed, or far, far worse.

She went out from behind Phantom. "I destroyed your crown." Jawaii said, staring the crowned ghost in the eye.

"J-Jawaii, no...!"

"WHO IS THIS LITTLE BRAT?! AND WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS, GOING AND DOING THIS TO I, KING BOO, THE RULER OF THE UNDEAD?" King Boo screamed.

"If you must know, she is my friend. And she is not a brat, you demonic marshmallow." said Phantom, still quaking, but trying to be brave.

Phantom's insult just made the king even more angry.

"ANGRY MARSHMALLOW? LOOK WHO'S TALKING, YOU OVERINFLATED BLIMP OF A RABBIT!" he screeched.

Jawaii came a bit closer to King Boo. "HEY! Nobody insults my best friend like that, you ugly hag!"

"...What did you just call me, you little DIRT GOBLIN?"

"You heard me loud and clear."

Unable to come up with any witty comebacks or clever responses, King Boo angrily sputtered out, "ALL RIGHT YOU TWO PESTS, GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE YOU BOTH REGRET IT."

Without hesitation, Phantom picked Jawaii up off the ground and flew off with her.

King Boo angrily cursed under his breath and went back inside his mansion, plotting his revenge on the ghost Rabbid and the young alien.
