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!
