Room 037 [VIDEO]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[It's night time. The feed opens on the face of a very frightened man. His eyes are baggy, he hasn't shaved, he is...possibly under his covers? He's under his covers. Okay.]}

It's official. Our house is haunted.

I used to know what to do for ghosts but I've said every prayer I know and I've lit candles. I've been finding the cabinets open. I've been hearing bare footsteps and creepy giggling in the middle of the night. I know it isn't anyone in the house and it's none of the Pokemon. I looked in on them when I heard it and they were all asleep.

_{[He pauses. He listens.]}

Something in this house is making toast. And I know for a fact that it is none of the Pokemon. I placed every single Pokemon in this house in front of the toaster with the necessary tools and none of them could do it.

I need your help. Anyone. Please.

<sub>[OKAY SO LIKE SHE'S BEEN TRYING HER BEST NOT TO BE AN ASSHOLE TO HENRY.]

[LIKE. SHE REALLY HAS.]

[She kind of owes him that much.]

[But when her feed clicks on, she is ALREADY visibly trying not to laugh.]</sub>

Uh oh.

Henry.

Do you know what this means?

_{[She bites her lip, and leans in.]}

You have... a toast ghost.

[a_sin_for_him]

....what are you talking about?

I haven't noticed any of that.

[That can't be contributed to anyone in the house, at least. Lust has no idea that Henry doesn't even know Wrath is there.]

[Envy was tempted to just ignore whatever the hell Al had called him about and go back to sleep just on principle, but he can't help being curious. What is he supposed to deal with?]




[oh.]

[They'd forgotten something after all. They'd forgotten to tell Henry about the goblin.]

[He could just explain that there's a kid sometimes living at the house now, and that he's one of them. But now he's just kind of embarrassed. And still annoyed and not entirely awake. DAMN YOU, ALPHONSE.]

Oh...really? Are you sure it's a ghost?

_{[Heather, congratulations, here comes a Camping Trip From Hell-worthy stinkface.]}

Heather, this is serious!

[no_ufo_ending]

You've been asleep.

[video]

[no_ufo_ending]

Without a fraction of a shadow of a doubt.

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

Then...

[Hang on a second.]

Wait, did you say you came in and watched us while we were asleep?

[video]

[solas_ion]

What, so ghosts can't make breakfast?

[lancer leave the poor guy alone]

[video]

[no_ufo_ending]

It might start out with toast. Next thing you know they'll drop the toaster into the sink.

[video]

[no_ufo_ending]

I had to make absolutely sure.

[video]

[solas_ion]

Maybe it just wants somethin' to eat. Give the poor thing a break.

[video]

[no_ufo_ending]

Ghosts don't eat, ghosts shove their hands into your chest and sap out every ounce of your strength.

[video]

[solas_ion]

Of course ghosts eat. Can't survive on human souls alone, you know?

[LANCER DON'T MESS WITH THE POOR GUY]

[video]

[no_ufo_ending]

I don't have time for this.

_{[Henry has gone FULL ON GRUMP.]}

If I don't do something, infants are going to start growing out of the walls here too. If you don't have anything helpful to say, go bother someone else.

[solas_ion]

. . .

Don't know what your parents told ya, but that ain't where babies come from.

[no_ufo_ending]

I wish that's what someone had told the serial killer that haunted my last apartment.

Good. Bye.

[a_sin_for_him]

So it only happens with the rest of the house is asleep?

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

Is a ghost type making toast really worth this much trouble?

I mean...they're pains in the ass, yeah, but how long did it take you to test every pokemon for how well they could work the toaster?

[Henry's already unhappy, Envy's not sure...how to bring up the actual source of the toast...]

[no_ufo_ending]

No, sometimes it happens when I'm home alone during the day.

[no_ufo_ending]

It's not a Pokemon.

_{[It comes out as a growl.]}

[exeggutorhead]

[Whoa okay Henry.. Envy puts his hands up.]

Okay, okay, not a Pokemon!

[no_ufo_ending]

Envy, I want you to ask everyone in the house if they're allergic to any herbs because I'm going to burn everything we have. I'm not letting a ghost chase me out of this house too.

[a_sin_for_him]

But it never happens when anyone else can see or hear it? Ever?

[no_ufo_ending]

I don't know. I can't keep tabs on everyone. Are you allergic to sage?

[a_sin_for_him]

I'm just wondering if perhaps a nervous constitution has read too much into something perfectly normal. I haven't noticed anything inexplicable at all. And no one else has mentioned anything. Besides, why would a ghost suddenly be here?

I have no idea what I'm allergic to.
