Episode 3-16: Don't Press Something Like That!
???	Ora-ora-oraaaaaa!

The Other Dimension - Ghost Ship Cove
Floyd Floyd	Fork over all the mirror shards ya got, little ghosties. If you don't…
Ghost A Ghost A	Eeeeek, please show mercy!
Ghost B Ghost B	We handed over every shard we had! We don't have anything else to give you!
Floyd Floyd	Huh… Then show me what you're hiding in your hand there.
Ghost B Ghost B	W-Well, I…!
Floyd Floyd	Do ya think I'm stupid or somethin', huh?!
Ghost C Ghost C	S-Someone help!
Ace Ace	The ghosts are just running around screaming like headless chickens trying to get away from Floyd…
Leona Leona	I did say that we should steal the mirror shards from the ghosts as we go. But… …I said nothing about taking it this far!
Floyd Floyd	But why not~? I'm not doing anything different to when I have to deal with small fry that don't abide by their contracts. And if we end up getting surprised by the ghosts, we'll end up taken over like Lil' Crab, right? So I just thought it'd be better if we were the ones doing the scaring instead! Ya gotta be ahead of the game with this kind of thing.
Ace Ace	Scaring? This is more like threatening! You're going way too far! Literally all the ghosts have gone into hiding 'cause of you!
Leona Leona	It's not easy searching for a ghost after it's hid itself. You're just causing us way more trouble than it's worth. We could've lured them all in at once using Spikehead over here as bait, but we can't really do that now…
Ace Ace	Yeah, yeah, we could've used Spikehead as… Hang on, are you talking about me? Uh, no thanks?! Leave being the decoy to someone else!
Leona Leona	Then I'm going on ahead. You two can just figure it out by yourselves.
Ace Ace	I don't want that, either! Please don't leave me behind, Leona, siiiir!
Leona Leona	Hey, don't cling onto me!
Floyd Floyd	What's wrong, Lil' Crab? Are ya that against being with me? You tryin' to say I'm not reliable? I think I'm pretty strong, personally.
Ace Ace	I-I mean… I'm not denying that, but…
Leona Leona	Heh. I can't blame Spikehead for being hesitant.
Floyd Floyd	You what?
Leona Leona	Do you seriously not get it? Your ability is way too unpredictable. What's worse, you act according to your own whims. There's literally no way to tell what you're going to pull. You can be a bishop or a knight, but if you don't fit on the board, then you're useless. An unpredictable playing piece has less worth than even a herbivore.
Floyd Floyd	Ahah. You got guts, Sea Lion. You can be the strongest man alive, but if you don't do anything, then you're worth nothing. Isn't that the perfect bait?
Floyd & Leona Floyd & Leona	…
Ace Ace	O-Oh, what's that over there? There's totally this super weird door inside the cave. I'm so curious what it could be! How about we stop fighting and go see what it is, yeah? That's the best course of action here, right? Right?!
Leona Leona	…Tch. Well, maybe we can use your height as a ghost deterrent or something.
Floyd Floyd	You better watch yourself, Sea Lion. Might find yourself gettin' taken over while taking a nap.
Ace Ace	Ugh… Their personalities don't mesh at all. This is such a pain to deal with… I'd take our tyrant over this any day! Please help me, Dorm Leader Riddle…!

The Other Dimension - Forbidden Laboratory
Ace Ace	Huh? Where is this? I can see the full moon outside so this clearly isn't the inside of a cave!
Leona Leona	Don't forget we're in the Land of Ghosts. Common sense doesn't fly here. A change of scenery shouldn't be enough to phase you. It'll be your fault if you get your body taken over by a ghost again.
Floyd Floyd	There's a bunch of big machines here. It looks like they still work, but what're they for?
Leona Leona	Couldn't tell you. I don't see any ghosts right now, but… There's no telling how long it'll take for us to reach the Halloween party where "Their Greatness" is waiting. Using our magic without thinking in a situation like this would just be idiotic. We'd be accumulating Blot for no reason. We need to get those mirror shards by hunting the ghosts efficiently.
Ace Ace	Roger.
Leona Leona	Though we should probably start by figuring out just what this place is… From the looks of things, it's a lab. And judging from the scale of the equipment, quite a big one at that. It's likely that they have security measures set in place. You listening? Definitely do not touch anything around here carelessly.
Weee-wooo! Weee-woooo!
Ace Ace	Whoa, a loud as hell siren just suddenly started blaring!
Leona Leona	A security alarm? …But how did they find us? Don't tell me there's a security camera installed…?!
Floyd Floyd	Ah, I might have caused that. There was this big funny button on the wall, so I just pressed it, 'cause why not.
Ace & Leona Ace & Leona	DON'T PRESS SOMETHING LIKE THAT!
Ghost D Ghost D	Security here! What's going on?! …Ahh, more living human intruders!
Ghost E Ghost E	Capture them!
