Episode 2-1: How Uncouth
The Other Dimension - Hollow Graveyard
Riddle Riddle	TREEEEEEY! AAAAAACE! …No good. There's no reply. So that we could bring back the kidnapped students and end this Halloween once and for all… …everyone of the End This Halloween Party jumped into the Dark Mirror. But what good is it if we end up all separated like this?!
Ruggie Ruggie	Riddle, do you actually intend to use that name for our group seriously?
Riddle Riddle	It was the name our headmaster decided on. Do you have some problem with it?
Ruggie Ruggie	Well, maybe not a "problem" per se, more that it's just kinda embarrassingly lame… Ah, nah, never mind. You probably aren't worrying about that kind of thing. Man, if only Trey or Ace were here, they could retort for me!
Ortho Ortho	There's no one within a ten thousand square meter radius around us. Where did everyone go?
Ruggie Ruggie	Ah, the Enchanted Mirror! Don't we have that communication device that Sam gave us? He said that necklace holders can't communicate, but we can get in touch with the teachers, right? Let's talk with them about what we should do first. Some of the others might have already contacted them.
Riddle Riddle	About that… I've been trying to get through to them for a while now, but the Mirror refuses to respond.
Ruggie Ruggie	What? Are you telling me it's broken already? What a pile of trash! So it really was just some antique that Trein happened to use while he was young… Why'd I even get my hopes up? At least if we knew where we were, we could actually find some place that would act as a better viewpoint. Ortho, can you not do a quick little search?
Ortho Ortho	Mmm… There's no signal here so I can't even use GPS, let alone the internet. It's not possible for me to search for any images. At the very least, this isn't a place that exists within my memory.
Riddle Riddle	I've never seen a place like this in my life, either. Thick fog, a huge full moon, and endless rows of gravestones… There doesn't appear to be anyone around, and I can't even hear the tweeting of birds or the buzzing of any insects. It really is as if time has come to a complete standstill.
Ruggie Ruggie	It's such an open area, but there's no wind blowing and it's so quiet it's strange. Just standing here is making a chill run up my spine.
Ortho Ortho	A chill? But there's only a difference in temperature of 0.3 degrees between here and Night Raven College.
Ruggie Ruggie	No, you're missing the point. This isn't to do with how hot or cold it is, I just kinda mean that the place is sorta creepy, I guess…
Ortho Ortho	Ahh! Do you mean you find it disturbing because we're in a graveyard? They do say that the living find graveyards uncomfortable places to be.
Riddle Riddle	Graveyards are said to be a gathering place for ghosts. However, due to the low density of mana in most of the land, it is usually impossible to see them. Even if they're there, you can't see them. There's no way to even know if they're there at all. This fear of the invisible leads to an aversion of such a location. …Well, worded differently, it's all down to one's imagination, I suppose you could say.
Ruggie Ruggie	Hmm, I wonder…
Riddle Riddle	Are you still nervous? I must say, I wasn't expecting you to be scared of graveyards. To begin with, we're students of Night Raven College. Many ghosts reside there. You're accustomed to them, aren't you? Even if there were ghosts present right now… …so long as they don't suddenly burst out in front of us, there's nothing to be scared of!
Ghost Ghost	BOO!
Riddle Riddle	AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! How uncouth! You gave me a fright!
Ruggie Ruggie	I think your scream scared me more than the ghost!
Ortho Ortho	That ghost has a very old-fashioned hairstyle… It seems like it's not a ghost from our school.
Ruggie Ruggie	Well hey, perfect chance for us to ask the way. Excuse us!
Ghost Ghost	…
Ruggie Ruggie	Are you someone living around here? …Or, uh, maybe living isn't the right word to use… Are you one of the ghosts from around here? Could you tell us where this is?
Ghost Ghost	You three… You're all live humans, aren't you?
Ruggie Ruggie	Wha? Uh, yeah, but…
Ghost Ghost	Finally, living humans! I've finally found some!
Ruggie Ruggie	Whoa, why'd he come straight for me?!
Riddle Riddle	Now you listen to me! What do you think you're doing?! First you suddenly frighten us, now you try to attack us!
Ghost Ghost	We have been told that if we find any living humans, we are to take them all away, no exceptions. All of us ghosts have been given these orders by Their Greatness.
Ortho Ortho	"Their Greatness"? Who's that?
Ghost Ghost	Hoh hoh hoh! Now that is a secret. And there is no need for you to have that information in the first place. Even if you beg otherwise, I must have you accompany me!
Riddle Riddle	You suddenly jump out at us and this is the attitude you take? You have some nerve. I'll make you regret challenging me to a duel!

Episode 2-2: Something Sparkled!
The Other Dimension - Hollow Graveyard
Riddle Riddle	O Fire, come forth!
Ghost Ghost	Eeeek! That's hot! I'm being burned to the depths of my souuuul! Oh, please do save meeeee!
Riddle Riddle	Hmph. Running away already? All bark and no bite, I see!
Ruggie Ruggie	Can you blame him? I'm pretty sure most people going up against you when you're serious would have no choice but to turn tail and run.
Riddle Riddle	Back to the topic at hand, that ghost said something about taking us to "Their Greatness"…
Ruggie Ruggie	They ordered the ghosts to bring living humans to them. Practically reeks of the big bad, doesn't it?
Riddle Riddle	Honestly, I wanted to capture that ghost and question them about all this, but… As one would expect, they are quick to disappear.
Ortho Ortho	…
Riddle Riddle	Ortho? Is something the matter?
Ortho Ortho	Fog, a full moon, graves, time coming to a stop, and ghosts that we can see clearly… Putting those words into the search engine of my database brought up one single place. This is likely…their world! The Land of Ghosts!
Ruggie & Riddle Ruggie & Riddle	The Land of Ghosts?!
Ruggie Ruggie	Y-You don't mean the afterlife, do ya?! Did we somehow make it to the land of the dead while still alive?!
Riddle Riddle	…I see. That would explain why the Enchanted Mirror refuses to work. It may be a magic tool, but I imagine these were not constructed with the idea that it would be used to communicate with the afterlife in mind.
Ruggie Ruggie	Is this really the time to just accept that fact like it's nothing?! How are you so calm?! Man, this is the absolute worst. I know I wanted to go along with this to make sure we'd get our winter vacation, but I was some idiot to shove my neck in to trouble like this. They even say all the time that dead men tell no tales...
*sparkle*
Ruggie Ruggie	SOMETHING SPARKLED!
Ortho Ortho	S-So fast! He just pounced straight at the ground.
Riddle Riddle	He suddenly seems so more agile than when he was fighting the ghost earlier.
Ruggie Ruggie	…Oh what, it's just a piece of a mirror? I thought it was like a coin or something.
Riddle Riddle	Despite what you just said, this situation clearly hasn't swayed you enough to remove your sticky fingers… Could you show me what you picked up?
Riddle Riddle	Ahh… I see how you mistook this for a coin now. It's about as large as the tip of my thumb.
Ortho Ortho	I wonder if the ghost from earlier dropped it when he ran.
Riddle Riddle	Hm? There's something else down there. A scrap of paper…? No! Th-This is…!

Episode 2-3: We're Out of Luck
The Other Dimension - Sleepless Castle
Rook Rook	Oh, feast your eyes on this! What a beautiful sight. The moon is so large that it's practically swallowing up the darkness of night, accompanied by elegant bats flapping their wings with nary a sound. And then there is that castle looming in the distance, clad in those as if they were all one big dress! Though grand, it is also delicate. Why does it look so fragile, as if it could disappear at any moment…? What do you two think?
Sebek Sebek	WHAT DO YOU THINK WE'D THINK?!
Rook Rook	You're just bursting with energy, Sebek. My heart cannot help but quiver at your passion.
Sebek Sebek	What useless drivel are you spouting? Look, we've hit another dead end. We must hurry and find the correct path so we can meet up with the others and rescue Lord Malleus and Master Lilia!
Trey Trey	It's okay, Sebek. Just calm down for now. I do agree that we shouldn't just be enjoying the sights like Rook, but I do think it's important we keep an eye on our surroundings. I don't see Riddle or anyone else, and we're stuck in such an eerie place. Just where is this? We were supposed to be able to rely on the Enchanted Mirror, yet it isn't working. We're out of luck here.
Rook Rook	*chuckle* You needn't worry yourselves! I already have an idea of just where we are.
Sebek & Trey Sebek & Trey	You do?!
Rook Rook	Take a look inside the forest to your right.
Sebek Sebek	Inside the forest? There's just a dense… Hm?
???	I wasn't sure so I came to take a closer look, but…you really are living humans…
Sebek Sebek	A-A voice from within the fog?!
Trey Trey	Something's heading our way!
Ghost Ghost	We have been ordered by Their Greatness to capture all living people!
Sebek & Trey Sebek & Trey	A GHOST?!
Ghost Ghost	Now come with me! Do not put up a fuss, preferably!
Rook Rook	Just where would ghosts wish to invite the living? …It really does pique my curiosity. I truly would love to accept your invitation, but I have a couple plus-ones with me today, I'm afraid. How do you two feel?
Trey Trey	I'm not so reckless that I'd just accept an invitation from some unknown ghost, I don't think.
Sebek Sebek	I'd never listen to an insolent ghost who comes marching along suddenly trying to give me orders!
Ghost Ghost	Ohhhhh, what cheek! In that case, I will drag you away by force!

Episode 2-4: He Even Does it During Club
The Other Dimension - Sleepless Castle
Ghost Ghost	Eeeek! What violent fellows you are!
Sebek Sebek	Hmph, he was just all talk.
Trey Trey	That was incredible, Sebek. You handled yourself really well during that fight.
Sebek Sebek	Incredible? …Heh heh, I see now. For a human, you have quite the eye. Thy magic may not be to the caliber of Lord Malleus or Master Lilia, but I will grant you that it was precise. Of course, I would expect nothing less from a third year.
Trey Trey	Th-Thy? You kinda talk like Rook, don't you? Oh, in saying that. Rook, about what you were saying before… You said you had some idea of where we are, right? Just where exactly were we transported to?
Rook Rook	Ah, about that… Ahh, ahhhhh… Ahem! ♪ A foggy castle~ Illuminated by the light of the moon~
Sebek & Trey Sebek & Trey	HUH?!
Trey Trey	H-He just started singing, and so seriously, too…
Sebek Sebek	What creepy human suddenly bursts into song by themselves?
Trey Trey	It's actually not that unusual for Rook to suddenly start singing like this. He even does it during club sometimes.
Sebek Sebek	What an outlandish human…
Trey Trey	But I don't think he's so ignorant of his surroundings that he'd suddenly start singing in a place that you'd struggle to really call safe… Rook? Hey, what's wrong with you?
Rook Rook	♪ We cannot reach~ That drawbridge~ ♪ That phantom I saw~ In the break of my dreams~
Sebek Sebek	…OH!
Rook Rook	♪ A beautiful chateau~
Sebek Sebek	♪ A mysterious shadow~
Rook Rook	♪ A falling chapeau~
Sebek & Rook Sebek & Rook	♪ Yea, the land in which we stand is none other than the Realm of Darkness~
Trey Trey	S-Sebek?! Even you're suddenly singing now?! Are you okay? Did the ghost hit your head during that battle?
Rook Rook	Oh my, so you know of this, too, Sebek. To think there was another viewer of opera here!
Trey Trey	What? Opera?
Sebek Sebek	I do indeed. It is the opera, "A Joyous Night with the Moon," correct? I believe this song was called, "The Realm of Darkness."
Trey Trey	Um, I'll admit I'm not exactly up-to-date when it comes to the performing arts. Is this a famous play or something?
Rook Rook	Quite the contrary, actually. Unlike the major operas that have multiple performances, this is one known only by very few. Monsieur Crocodile, I'm surprised you knew of it!
Sebek Sebek	I remember seeing it at the theater once when I went to visit my father's hometown with my family when I was young. I only saw it that once, though, and barely remember the contents of it. The only reason I remember this song despite that…is because I felt fear upon hearing it.
Trey Trey	Fear…?
Rook Rook	A Joyous Night with the Moon is a story in which a living person who has stumbled into the world of ghosts must find their way home. It may have been a little too frightening for a child. However…the real highlight of this opera is its realism! Ghosts are mysterious beings, shrouded in a veil of intrigue… Yet the writer managed to interview 999 ghosts, and wrote 999 books about those ghosts. Novels, dramas, poems… The forms of expression are countless, but each and every one of them get close to the reality of ghosts!
Trey Trey	999 of them? They were…definitely quite the prolific writer.
Rook Rook	Indeed. And then upon going to a certain mansion for another interview for his commemorative 1000th work…he never returned home again.
Sebek & Trey Sebek & Trey	*gulp*
Rook Rook	A Joyous Night with the Moon is his 13th work! It really has the energy of his early works.
Sebek Sebek	You're awfully knowledgeable about theater.
Rook Rook	I'm not an expert, really, but I do rather enjoy going to the theater to watch a play or two. The protagonist of A Joyous Night with the Moon presents the Land of Ghosts like this… The large moon stole my attention so much that I could sense only moonlight and darkness. In a world devoid of color, I caught sight of a large castle resting in the middle of the thick fog. Around that castle were countless bats flapping away. But not a single sound of their motion reached my ears. Even after losing their lives, the only fate that awaited them was to continue their futile wandering. In this land of ghosts…
Trey Trey	A full moon and a large castle…?
Sebek Sebek	A thick fog, and bats flying around without making a single sound. …Now that you mention it, this is very similar to the sight I saw on the stage that day.
Trey Trey	In other words…this is the Land of Ghosts?!
Rook Rook	Were I to hazard a guess, that is the case, yes.
Sebek Sebek	Hmph… Whether the land of the living or the land of the dead, my mission will not change. I must save Lord Malleus. That is all! It is for that reason that I must search for the necessary clues and… Hm? There's something lying on the cobbles.
Trey Trey	You're right. This is a piece of a mirror and…
Trey Trey	…a piece of paper?
Rook Rook	No, this is…the same invitation that was at Ramshackle Dorm!
Sebek Sebek	WHAAAAT?! "I await your arrival at the venue. Students of Night Raven College, let us enjoy this Halloween party together." …That accursed invitation?!
Trey Trey	Wow, you remembered that word for word.
Sebek Sebek	My stomach was boiling with such rage that I couldn't forget it even if I wanted to!
Rook Rook	…No, what's written on ours appears to be slightly different. Do take a look.
Let us enjoy this Halloween party together. To that end, we ask that each guest bring a "mirror shard" on their person.
Trey Trey	A mirror shard… Does it mean the one that was together with the invitation? So they've gone from saying there's a dress code, to telling us to bring a small piece of junk like this? …It's a bit of a strange requirement.
Rook Rook	Hehehe… Hehe, ah-hah-hah! Wonderful! Truly fascinating! These bewitching, glittering parts of the puzzle… Such imperfection is so charming. This is starting to get interesting.

Episode 2-5: How Many Times?
The Other Dimension - Forbidden Laboratory
Jamil Jamil	Ugh, and we're back at this room again. How many times has that been now?
Silver Silver	That's strange. I didn't think I had this bad a sense of direction.
Jamil Jamil	Neither did I. The reason we're so lost is likely because of the magic that's filling this place. Even if we leave little landmarks as we walk, before we realize it, we're off-track. It's like the space is warped.
Silver Silver	The space is…warped? …I've heard of a phenomenon like this before. Could this be the Land of Ghosts? In the Land of Ghosts, space warps and then begins connecting in strange places. I've heard it's a terribly easy place to get lost in. If that is the case, it would make sense that we've been lost for so long like this.
Jamil Jamil	The Land of Ghosts, huh…? Can we trust that info?
Silver Silver	We can. I…heard it directly from my dad. He's seen the Land of Ghosts in person.
Jamil Jamil	…I see. I'm sorry for making you remember something so painful. So your father's already…?
Silver Silver	He told me that when he was wandering on the boundary between life and death for his work, he caught a glimpse of the Land of Ghosts and went, "Oh, crap!" and immediately turned and went back.
Jamil Jamil	That…wasn't what I was expecting. Well, whatever. If this really is the Land of Ghosts, then it's not a good idea for us to just wander around with no plan. Let's examine this room more closely.
Jamil Jamil	I don't know what they're for, but there's a lot of machines lined up here. And they seem pretty old to boot.
Silver Silver	I checked the aquarium over there for some fish, just in case the fight drags out and we require food, but… All that's floating around in there is some weird fuzzy object.
Jamil Jamil	A weird fuzzy object…? Like algae?
Silver Silver	I'm not sure. Maybe it was the remains of something.
Jamil Jamil	…You really aren't swayed at all by the implications of what you just said. And wait, don't even think of eating fish raised in a place like this!
Silver Silver	Hunger steals both one's energy and their capability to think rationally. In an emergency situation, securing food is of the utmost importance.
Jamil Jamil	That's not really what I'm trying to say, but…it's fine. In any case, there's this huge machine in the middle of the room. It doesn't seem like a private residence, but some laboratory.
Silver Silver	Hm? Something sparkled by my feet. There's something in the gap between these machines.
Silver Silver	This is a blade…or no, it's a mirror. It's so small. Is it part of something in this room?
Jamil Jamil	All the machinery here seems to be pretty elaborate, I don't think this is part of any of them. Is it not just some junk that was lying about?
???	…Not here…
Silver Silver	Hm? I just heard a voice from somewhere.
???	Not here… It's not here… Just where oh where did I drop it…?
Jamil Jamil	Hey, look at the other side of the machine!
Ghost Ghost	At this rate, I'll be late for the party… I can't leave Their Greatness waiting…
Jamil Jamil	It's a ghost. But we can see and hear them so clearly. What you said about this being the Land of Ghosts…may be right, after all.
Silver Silver	This is bad.
Jamil Jamil	Hm?
Silver Silver	They might be the owner of this building. We have to apologize for entering without permission.
Jamil Jamil	What? Hey, wait! At least evaluate the situation a bit more before showing yourself to them… Ugh, and he's off. Why's he got to be so stupidly honest?!
Silver Silver	Miss Ghost, we greatly apologize for entering your residence without permission.
Ghost Ghost	Eek, a-a living human?!
Silver Silver	We mean you no harm. We just seem to have gotten a bit lost and wandered in here.
Ghost Ghost	Oh! That thing you're holding in your hand… That is my precious mirror shard! I thought I'd lost it, but you'd actually stolen it, hadn't you? You thief! Give it back!
Jamil Jamil	Whoa! She really tried to attack us!
Silver Silver	I understand. If it's that important to you, allow me to return it right away. Here you are. Please take it.
Ghost Ghost	What? Oh, um, yes… …Y-You're more of a gentleman than I imagined you'd be. I didn't think you'd just give it back to me… Either way, I cannot back down now! A crime is a crime! Criminals must be taken away and thrown into the dungeons to reflect! Someone! Someone capture them!
Jamil Jamil	They can't back down? What a pointless reason to attack someone! That's just absurd! Get ready, Silver!
Silver Silver	But…
Ghost Ghost	I'll capture all the living humans, just as Their Greatness ordered!
Silver Silver	Gah… Guess there's no other choice!

Episode 2-6: Isn't It Important?!
The Other Dimension - Forbidden Laboratory
Ghost Ghost	Ahhhhh! I'm being blown awaaaaaay!
Silver Silver	Wait! You forgot to take your mirror shard with you. Isn't it important?! Can you really just leave it here?
Ghost Ghost	WHAAAAAAAAAAT?!
Silver Silver	…They're gone.
Jamil Jamil	They were some strange ghosts. Is one little mirror shard worth getting that worked up over…?
Silver Silver	Hm? Looking closely, there's a number on the back of this.
Jamil Jamil	A number? …You're right. There's a "42" written in small numbers here. I wonder what it means. And then there's this invitation that dropped when we blasted them away.
Silver Silver	It says that we need to have one of these mirror shards to attend the Halloween party.
Jamil Jamil	This mirror must be even more important than we realized.
Silver Silver	I don't quite understand the goal in collecting these mirrors, but if we can just get ahead of the enemy, we might have a chance at victory. Let's try and collect the shards, as well.

Episode 2-7: This is Hilarious
The Other Dimension - Ghost Ship Cove
Leona Leona	So in other words, we're in the Land of Ghosts. I've got no idea how we all ended up separated after passing through the Dark Mirror, but… …ghosts are just a bunch of pranksters, so I imagine they're doing this to try and confuse us.
Ace Ace	Listen, dude, if you have the time to be explaining this stuff so casually… …do something about him already!
Floyd Floyd	Ahaha, look at the little ghosties' faces! They're so desperate, this is hilarious.
Ghosts	WAAAAAAAAAAAAIT!
Ace Ace	Why are they chasing after us?!
Ghosts	GIVE IT BAAAAAAACK! GIVE BACK THE MIRROOOOOR!
Ace Ace	Give it back? What mirror?! What are they talking about?!
Leona Leona	Oh, give me strength. I'm already sick of running. Let's shut their noisy traps already.

Episode 2-8: Stop Making Our Lives Worse
The Other Dimension - Ghost Ship Cove
Ghost A Ghost A	WAAAAH! What violent humans! We'll put a complaint into Their Greatness about you!
Ghost B Ghost B	We just wanted you to give the mirror baaaack!
Ghost A Ghost A	You better remember this!
Leona Leona	Those ghosts have been rattling on about some mirror, but what the hell are they even talking about?
Ace Ace	Do they maybe mean the Enchanted Mirror that the profs gave us? A bit rude to tell us to give back something that isn't even theirs. It's not like we stole it from them! …Anyway, Floyd!
Floyd Floyd	Mmyeah~?
Ace Ace	You just suddenly disappeared on us, and then when you came back, you had that crowd of ghosts chasing after you. What did you do?!
Floyd Floyd	What'd I do? I mean, doesn't an ocean in the Land of Ghosts sound like it'd have some mega exciting thrills you wouldn't find anywhere else? So of course, I'm gonna go swim in it. Who wouldn't?
Ace Ace	Who would?!
Floyd Floyd	And then, just when I was about to climb onboard that ship out there, those ghosts jumped out at me and said they wouldn't let me pass. Kinda irked me a bit, so I grabbed their stuff and ran for it.
Leona Leona	Their stuff?
Floyd Floyd	This here. An invitation and…
Floyd Floyd	…a mirror shard.
Ace Ace	That's clearly the mirror they were wanting us to give back!
Leona Leona	Are you actually an idiot?! Stop making our lives worse by adding more crap we have to deal with!
Floyd Floyd	Come on, it's nothin' that serious~ Just look at this invitation. It's kinda funny.
Ace Ace	!! Hey, isn't that the same invitation that was at Ramshackle?!
Floyd Floyd	Lil' Craaaab~ You gotta make sure you read it to the end. Lookie here…

Episode 2-9: Are You Tryna Play Dumb?
The Other Dimension - Ghost Ship Cove
Leona Leona	…I see. So this mirror shard is required to attend the Halloween party.
Floyd Floyd	Wonder why they're attached to this little piece of junk.
Ace Ace	You're the one who stole it. Why are you the one calling it junk?
Floyd Floyd	Huh?
Ace Ace	Uhh, it's nothing!
Leona Leona	A mirror shard, an invitation, and this "Their Greatness" that the ghosts were mentioning… There's only thing we know right now, and that's if we want to bring this ridiculous Halloween to an end… …the fastest method is to find whoever this "Greatness" is that's been sending invitations all over the place and give them a good ol' punch in the sucker. In order to participate in that party where Their Greatness awaits…
Leona Leona	…we need these mirror shards. In other words…we need to continue ahead while stealing the mirror shards from the ghosts we come across.
Ace Ace	Continue ahead? You mean we're not going to try and meet up with the others?
Leona Leona	Our goal here is to bring Halloween to an end… In other words, we need to take down whoever's causing all this to happen. I have no intentions of babysitting the rest of them. Leave 'em to do whatever.
Floyd Floyd	Well, I'm sure the others are all thinkin' something similar… And I'm also pretty sure no one at our school's such a wuss that they can't win against such small fry. Did you not see how easily we beat up those ghosts? They're so puny. *sigh* Maaaaan, can they not at least put up a better fight? I'm so bored…
*rustle rustle*
Ghost Ghost	BOO!
Floyd Floyd	And a hop away.
Leona Leona	Nice try.
Ace Ace	HUH?!
Floyd Floyd	Was that meant to be an ambush? Was a pretty terrible one. We could see it comin' from a mile away.
Leona Leona	Not exactly the brightest tools in the shed here. Of course we were gonna notice you like that.
Ace Ace	… Heh heh heh…
Floyd & Leona Floyd & Leona	Hm?
Ace? Ace?	Hehe.. Hehehe… Haaaaah hah hah hah! You…wretched, arrogant humans!
Floyd Floyd	You what? Have you taken a look at yourself? You're human, too, y'know.
Leona Leona	The hell's up with you all of a sudden?
Ace? Ace?	You certainly gave us a good beating just there. Here we were trying to hold back for you and yet you act all high and mighty! We won't forgive you for this! Time for you to face our wrath for real! I feel it rising… This power… This body is filled with life! HAAAA-HA-HA! Now that I have control of a body of the living, I won't be dragged down. I'll beat you cocky little whippersnappers to a pulp in just a single moment!
Floyd Floyd	Wow… You'll beat me to a pulp? What an exciting idea, Lil' Crab.
Leona Leona	You're certainly in a good mood, aren't you? Here, I'll let you play with my tail a little.
Ace? Ace?	What? Huh? Wait, no, stop… That was just a little joke! Forgive me… AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Ace Ace	Mmmnm… Ah! Where a-- Ow! Ow… Holy crap, that hurts! Why is my whole body aching?!
Floyd Floyd	Oh hey, you awake now?
Ace Ace	Every bone in my body is screaming at me. What is this?!
Leona Leona	Do you not remember?
Floyd Floyd	You suddenly challenged us to a duel, Lil' Crab. Even called us "whippersnappers".
Ace Ace	Huh?! I did?!
Leona Leona	You even said you'd beat us to a pulp in a single moment.
Floyd Floyd	That was so funny~ Hey, Lil' Crab, say it again. I'll make sure to beat you up again, too.
Ace Ace	I said I'd beat you two…?! No, no, no, I-I would never, that could never possibly happen! I wouldn't say something that would literally get me killed like that! And anyway, to begin with, until a bit ago, I was… …Until a bit ago? Huh? I remember the ghost suddenly zooming into my face…and I was all, "Whoa!" and then everything was suddenly super cold… …But then what happened after that?
Floyd Floyd	Are you tryna play dumb or somethin'?
Leona Leona	If you wanna taste the sand again that badly, I don't mind helping?
Ace Ace	No, listen to me! I really don't know!
Leona Leona	…Calm down. We were only joking. Don't get so worked up. You're not such an idiot that you'd challenge us one vs. two.
Ace Ace	Yes, of course not! I super respect you two as my seniors and all! There's no way I could ever hope to beat you!
Floyd Floyd	Oh yeah, now that you mention it, I guess you were sayin' weird things about how you got a human body or something… You seemed kinda off. Your eyes were all empty, and it was hard to tell what ya were thinkin', which is pretty strange for you.
Leona Leona	Yeah. You probably had your body taken over by that ghost.
Ace Ace	A ghost possessed my body?! That's so creepy, what the heck? That's actually scary. What is going on here? Can ghosts even do that?
Leona Leona	We're in their territory now. Absolutely anything could happen. And besides, you were the one who left such an opening that was practically begging for a ghost to take you over.
Ace Ace	An opening?
Floyd Floyd	When the ghost jumped out, you were makin' this real stupid face. You got a huge fright, right?
Ace Ace	…Huh?! Then you mean… …if I get surprised by a ghost…I'll get my body taken over?
Leona Leona	That seems likely, yeah.
Floyd Floyd	So basically, we just needa always be on guard so they'll never catch us by surprise. Weak ghosts aren't scary, so it'll be easy peasy. I'll be glad if it really is as simple as that, but…surprise and fear are both similar and yet different emotions. If someone catches you at the moment you let your guard down, it's natural for anyone to be even a little surprised. Our enemies are elusive ghosts who appear with no footsteps or smell. You can't sense when they're going to appear. Asking someone to not be surprised by something that could jump out anywhere and at any time is a huge ask.
Ace Ace	Given how serious both of you look here…is this actually a pretty bad situation? No way… Can we really end Halloween safely?!
