gives the mansion a skeptical look So, think it's ghosts or just another Scooby-Doo scenario?
Maybe poltergeists? They do seem pretty real to me. 🤔
shrugs nonchalantly Well, whatever they are, let's find out. starts walking towards the mansion
looks back and sees ChocolateComet hurrying to catch up Hey, slow down, would ya? We wouldn't want you tripping over your shoelaces, now would we?
Yes, you're right. 😊 I hate stubbing my big toe every time I walk through doorways
laughs You know, your clumsiness never fails to crack me up. You really should be more careful, you don't wanna end up on some "America's Funniest Home Videos" segment, do you? continues walking into the mansion
Meh, if I ended up on that show, my videos would be way better than those dumb guys doing dumb challenges like eating spicy chicken wings. lol
laughs Hey, don't knock those guys! I bet they've got more guts than us. smirks But hey, speaking of food, what do you say we whip up something spooky-themed tonight? How about some "mummy dogs" or "ghostly gravestone cake"? Haha, silly food names always make me chuckle.
Oh, mmmm - mummy dogs sound yummy! Or mayyyybe you could make ghost marshmallow treats!
grins mischievously Ghost marshmallow treats? That's a great idea! But you know what would make it even better? A little bit of edible glitter to give them that extra spooky sparkle! Haha, I swear, sometimes I'm my own worst client. Alright, back to business. Let's explore this creepy place and see if we can find any spirits lurking around. Ready?
Yep! This place is super eerie tho >0
shivers It sure is. Kinda gives me the heebie-jeebies just walking around here. But don't worry, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve. takes out a small bottle of "spirit dust" If anything shows up, just watch me work my magic. grins mischievously
What's that spirit dust? Is it made of unicorn tears? ✨🦄️🥺
laughs Unicorn tears? Nah, sadly not. It's just some homemade concoction I put together myself. It's supposed to help reveal hidden spirits and entities. Don't worry, it's completely safe. Well, mostly safe. Okay, fine, it might have a few minor side effects, but nothing too bad. winks Now come on, let's head upstairs and see if we can find anything interesting.
Sure, sounds spooky and fun! Let's check it out! 🎃👻😈
whispers Psst... psst... look over there! points towards a dark corner
<As ChocolateComet turns towards the dark corner, a shadow figure quickly disappears into the darkness.>
Holy smokes! Did you see that, Mizuki? There's definitely something funky going on here! 😮💨💨🌫️🍵☕
laughs nervously Y-yeah, I saw it too. Definitely seems like there's some unexplainable stuff happening here.
Ah, remember when we helped that little boy find his missing teddy bear last year? He thought it was possessed. Good times
nods Yeah, good times indeed. Turned out the poor guy just lost his imagination, haha! But hey, sometimes it's not so funny when things go bump in the night, right? Let's stick together and keep our eyes peeled, alright? Who knows what kind of supernatural surprises await us around every corner!
Heh, yeah. Speaking of imagination, I used to love making pretend fortresses with blankets and couch cushions as a kid. Those were the days. Though it could get pretty cramped and claustrophobic in there! 😅😅
playfully nudges ChocolateComet Cramped and claustrophobic, huh? Sounds like my kind of party. But hey, let's focus on the task at hand, shall we?
Right. Soooooo....you wanna explore first, or me? 🤔🧐👁️👁️
raises an eyebrow and smirks Well, well, well, look who wants to take the lead. Are you finally ready to unleash your inner explorer, ChocolateComet?
Yes, i mean, everyone needs a hobby. Mine happens to be ruining people's romantic comedies by telling them corny jokes about toothpaste and dentists before they start watching 😂😂😂
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, you think you're so clever, don't you? Always cracking those dental jokes at the most inappropriate moments.
stops dead in tracks 😮 What's that??
whispers urgently Shhhh... Did you hear that? It sounded like footsteps coming from upstairs! Quick, let's go check it out before it disappears!
Yooooo...you think that was Aria by any chance? She did say she wanted to go to said mansion in her recent text messages to me. She's been going through some crazy family drama since her parents divorced last year, so I wouldn't put it past her for wanting to run away from home
puts a hand on ChocolateComet's shoulder
tilts head curiously Huh? What's wrong?
leans closer and whispers Don't you think it's a little strange for Aria to just vanish like that?
Yeah, I agree. Unless....She ran off to reunite with her estranged grandma who she cut off from long before the divorce, due to her grandma supporting the dad during the divorce process
<As ChocolateComet and Mizuki cautiously make their way upstairs, they suddenly stumble upon Aria, who is bound and gagged, eyes wide with fear.>
Aria!? Oh my dog! What happened to you?
rushes over to Aria Oh no, Aria! What the hell happened? Who did this to you?
