[It’s about midnight when this comes up on the network, a time when a kid his age should be asleep. But is he sleeping right now? Hell no. Not after the night he’s had . . . still having, really.]

How long has it taken for the rest of you to stop feeling like you’re being watched? And this might sound stupid, but . . . Does anyone think it might be ghosts following us around?

[He’ll just conveniently ignore the fact that the sensation of being watched hasn’t been the only thing happening to him tonight. Why give more details than he has to? They’ll just worry more.]

For the past couple hours, at least. Happening to you too, right now?

[Text]

[scramasax]

Yes. If something akin to ghosts are doing this, I can believe it... With the vision that I've just had, I am sure that if this hadn't been happening to so many of us as it has all week, I would have thought that I accidentally drew something to me.

Does it feel threatening at all?

[Text]

[scramasax]

It feels invasive, but I can't tell if it's really been "doing" anything.

I think I might have lost consciousness for a few minutes, but I haven't been feeling completely well since April, so I don't know if that was anything to do with "it".

Hm. A Hollow would probably be more phyiscally threatening. [Or so he's guessing. But Hollows are kind of aggressive.]

[... Wait, him too?] Might be related to it.

[scramasax]

Have you also been getting a sensation of dizziness?

What is a Hollow?

[Text]

[icy_heavens]

Sort of. [As close as he'll get to an outright admission without more prodding.]

It's a type of evil ghost.

[Text]

[scramasax]

What tradition is that from? I don't think that I've heard of the type before.

[Though he is inarticulately considering that it may be one of the obscure bits of knowledge that seem to be coming to all of them.]

[Text]

[icy_heavens]

Not from any tradition, as far as I know.

[But he's not an expert on this. He doesn't read up on the occult like Bakura, and if you'd asked him a couple months ago, he'd tell you believing in ghosts is stupid. But here we are.]

[Text]

[scramasax]

Oh. [That would seem to confirm that.

Pause.] Have ghosts been a theme in the experiences that you've been getting?

[Text]

[icy_heavens]

No. This is the first time. I've mostly gotten skills or abilities.
