Episode 1-17: I'm So Popular!
Ramshackle Dorm
Grim Grim	Hm? There's a whole crowd of people gathered in front of the dorm. They don't look like they're from NRC. They customers here for the Halloween event?
Woman A	*step step* Kyaaaa! Look over here!
Woman B	Give us a wink!
Ghost A Ghost A	Sure, this good? *wink!*
Woman A/B	AHHHH, SO WONDERFUL! *chatter chatter*
Cater Cater	Thought this place would be popular.
Deuce Deuce	There's so many people… It really is as you said.
Grim Grim	Oh, Deuce and Cater. Do you guys know why so many people are gathered here?
Cater Cater	You bet I do. It's 'cause of this.
Grim Grim	Your smartphone? Oh wait, is that Magicam? …Hang on, that's the picture the ghosts took with me before! So what's that got to do with anything?
Cater Cater	Look underneath the picture. Those "likes" are basically the number of people who think this photo of you guys is neat.
Grim Grim	Lemme see… Wait, there are ten thousand likes?! Why are there so many?! Cater, your Magicam's broken!
Cater Cater	When do you ever see a ghost appearing in a picture this clearly? 'Course it's gonna start trending! In fact, it's a selfie! And there's even a cat, a Magicam favourite! And it's Halloween! If that didn't go viral, I'd be worried.
Grim Grim	Hey, I'm not a cat! …Actually, wait. The ghosts said that their only followers were, like, five of their friends or something. So how'd it suddenly end up with ten thousand likes?
Deuce Deuce	Someone who just happened to stumble upon the photo gave it a like… …and then that person's followers saw it and liked it, and then their followers liked that… And so that's how it spread.
Cater Cater	It'd been getting more attention the closer we got to Halloween, but… The second some popular Magicammer showed it to people, that sold it. The likes just keep going up at a breakneck pace.
Grim Grim	Whoa… That many people are looking at a picture of me… Ah. I'm actually starting to blink in this. Darn, I'm really so much more handsome, too. We need to swap that picture with a cooler me right away!
Cater Cater	A lot of people have probably already saved it, and there's no way to really delete a photo off the internet once it's up. SNS is something sent all over the world. Even if you have no followers, you have to consider that people from all over the world might be watching you ♪
Woman B	Ah! Is that not the cat that was in that ghost picture?
Grim Grim	Huh? Cat… You mean me?! I am far from a simple cat. I am the one who will one day become the greatest mage, the great Grim!
Woman A	It spoke! So it's a monster, not a cat.
Woman C	Hey, he's wearing a little hat. Is it because it's Halloween?
Woman A	Who cares what he is! He's so super cute!
Grim Grim	I'm not cute! I'm cool!
Women	Kyaaaaa! Yeah, yeah, you're cool! *chatter chatter*
Grim Grim	E-Everyone's gathering around me… I'm so popular!
Woman A	Ghosts and monsters are both extra cute.
Woman B	I thought ghosts were darker and scarier, and just played tricks on people.
Woman C	I might want to become friends with a ghost if they're this bubbly and cute!
Woman A	I totally get you! The ghosts are soooo cute!
Ghost C Ghost C	I never thought the day would come when I would be so fawned over… I'm so happy I became a ghost!
Ghost A Ghost A	Halloween really is the best!
Grim Grim	Myaha! I'm practically the star of the show here! Scream over me more!
Deuce Deuce	Both the ghosts and Grim are getting way too full of themselves from this…
Woman A	Hey, ghosts, could I take a picture? I want to upload it on Magicam and show everyone. It's Halloween and all. If I upload a photo of a ghost, everyone will be so happy.
Man B	And y'know, I was thinking this when I saw the Front Gate… Night Raven College is, like, way too good as a Halloween spot.
Man C	Let's upload a ton of photos to Magicam!
Deuce Deuce	…But at least the visitors seem to be having fun. So many people have smiles on their faces because of a Halloween Week we set up. Isn't this great, Cater?
Cater Cater	Mm. Yup ♪ …It'd be nice if everything continues this way, but...
