Episode 3-8: It May Have Been a Little Much

The Other Dimension - Haunted Ghost Town
Ghost E Ghost E	WAAAAH! I'm going to have nightmares of those scary faces! Help meeeeee!
Ruggie Ruggie	Neat! Now that we've chased the ghosts off, let's get to fetching that treasure.
Ortho Ortho	I'll head down there and get it!
Riddle Riddle	Okay, we're counting on you! ba-dump ba-dump!
Ruggie Ruggie	gulp
Ortho Ortho	This is…!

Ruggie Ruggie	Oh, for— It's just a mirror shard! Why'd they leave such a dramatic hint for this?! I thought there was gonna be like gold or jewels buried down there!
Ortho Ortho	U-Um… Mr. Ruggie Bucchi, could I talk to you for a moment?
Ruggie Ruggie	Hm?
Ortho Ortho	To tell you the truth, the light that led to the well earlier… …wasn't actually a hint or anything. I just reflected the light built into my arm on the mirror shard. Given the conversation, I was just trying to surprise Mr. Riddle Rosehearts a little… We even ended up having to fight off the ghosts… Do you think he'll be angry?
Ruggie Ruggie	I would strongly advise against telling Riddle any of that. I can hear it now. He'd definitely be all, "How dare you trick me?!"
Riddle Riddle	…A… AMAZING!
Ortho & Ruggie Ortho & Ruggie	Huh?
Riddle Riddle	This is amazing! We really found what we were searching for! If we hadn't spoken about using mirrors to solve the puzzles, we would never have thought to examine the well first. Riddles aren't something to be taken lightly, after all! And this is the first time I've ever gotten to feel that sense of excitement you get before opening a box that you don't know the contents of!
Ruggie Ruggie	I'm not really one to talk since I was getting all excited about the possible treasure myself, but… There really are people out there who get so innocently happy about solving a simple kid's puzzle like using mirrors to reflect light, huh?
Ortho Ortho	It appears it may have been a little much for Mr. Riddle Rosehearts. Entertainment really is something to consume in moderation. Big Bro says that a lot, too. "The more you hold back from your hobbies, the more it'll come back to bite you as an adult. So that's why I never hold back >:)"
Riddle Riddle	So this is a treasure hunt. I didn't think it'd be this much fun… Once we safely bring this Halloween to an end, I'll make sure to read the Adventures of the Moustached Captain myself! I hope it's in the school library.
Ruggie Ruggie	Well, if you had a good time, I can't really complain.
Ortho Ortho	There's this activity called an "escape game" that's been getting popular recently! It lets you experience a treasure hunt through solving puzzles. But my brother is reluctant to go outside so he won't go together with me. If we make it out of here safely, how about all three of us go to one?
Ruggie Ruggie	Oh, that sounds neat. If you're willing to pay the participation fee, I'm more than happy to.
Ghost D Ghost D	You lot!
Riddle Riddle	Hm? …Whoa!
Ortho Ortho	I-It's an army of ghosts!
Ghost E Ghost E	Let's protect the peace of this village! These dangerous villains will never be able to stand up to the might of the whole village!
YEAH!
Riddle Riddle	They're coming for us! Get ready!
