first haunting [video]

[sleepily]

_{[The video feed clicks on to show a girl who can't be any older than maybe her late teens... floating, with a teddy bear sitting on the ground nearby.]}

Oh my, oh my... this place looks so boring; it's dreadful, really. Hmm... if you put a new coat of paint on the buildings, and maybe planted some flowers... Yes! I'm sure it'd all look really nice.

Oh dear, but this place kind of looks just a little bit scary; I should probably find somewhere safe to hide for now.

<sub>[Annnnd she's picking up the bear! And on the move.

... Except when she attempts to pass through one of the walls of a nearby apartment complex... it doesn't work. It actually kind of... hurt, really, because she pretty much bumped right into the wall rather than going through it.]</sub>

Huh?

Are you a ghost?!

[italianshadow.livejournal.com]

You shouldn't run into walls! They hurt.

[possessedteddy.livejournal.com]

Mmhmm!

[possessedteddy.livejournal.com]

But I normally don't run into them!

[remnantstrike.livejournal.com]

Seriously?! So that means you're--what, dead already?

[possessedteddy.livejournal.com]

_{[Oh, Marta...]}

Hmm? Of course! <sub>[Is that, like

a bad thing or anything.]</sub>

[remnantstrike.livejournal.com]

[Spirits and monsters and talking animals she can handle--but ghosts? What even.]

That's terrible! You're already dead... [Never mind that she's still talking to Pamela...]

[possessedteddy.livejournal.com]

It's alright, I don't remember anything before I died, anyway!

_{[THAT TOTALLY MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER right]}

[italianshadow.livejournal.com]

How? Do you use magic? England tried to do that once, but he just hit his head and fell over, and I don't want that to happen to you.

[possessedteddy.livejournal.com]

I'm a ghost!

[remnantstrike.livejournal.com]

You... don't? [She can't decide if that's good or even more depressing.]

[possessedteddy.livejournal.com]

_{[This is Pamela. The obvious answer is that thinking too much about it will give you a headache.]}

Nuh-uh. I was already dead when I woke up in the teddy bear I've been possessing.

[remnantstrike.livejournal.com]

[Marta will learn this. Eventually.]

Well, that's... [unsure on what to even say] So you said you can't go, uh, through the wall right now?

[possessedteddy.livejournal.com]

No, I can't! And it's very strange.

[remnantstrike.livejournal.com]

I wonder if that makes you human now... Anyways, there's this thing called a chip in you right now, and it suppresses any supernatural abilities you might have. That's probably why you can't.

[possessedteddy.livejournal.com]

... So I have to use the door?

[remnantstrike.livejournal.com]

... yeah, I think so.

[possessedteddy.livejournal.com]

Oh my, this is all so very confusing.

[remnantstrike.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's usually pretty strange at first. You kind of get used to it after a while though.

[possessedteddy.livejournal.com]

Um... but... hm...

Oh! My name's Pamela.

[remnantstrike.livejournal.com]

Oh, how rude of me! I'm Marta, Marta Lualdi. It's nice to meet you Pamela!

If you have any questions, I'll try and answer them for you.

[possessedteddy.livejournal.com]

It's nice to meet you, too, Marta~!

Um... where are we?

[remnantstrike.livejournal.com]

Uh, well...

This is probably gonna sound a bit crazy, but we're in a city called Discedo. Wherever you were before, you've been kidnapped and brought to here by a group of scientists.

[possessedteddy.livejournal.com]

Kidnapped? So... they took my bear here? Oh my, I must have overslept again.

[remnantstrike.livejournal.com]

Maybe...
