Chapter 48; Video; Possession is fun kids!

[tentacletrainer]

[[When the feed starts, there is a very tearful looking Rose on the screen. She looks like she's just about ready to start bawling, hiccuping once in a while. For a moment she just stares, and then she explains what's wrong.]]

Someone. Someone help. I...I'm...I'm really scared.

[[Suddenly the video shifts, showing the edge of a bed and then kiiiind of leaning over the edge to show the floor.]]

I-I think something is under my bed. And if I get down it'll get me!

[[And there are a few sobs, though they're off camera. She is just so scared.]]

Wh-what if it's the boogeyman?! O-or a zombie or something?!

[[And the more things she suggest, the more hysterical she becomes until finally she's wailing, the gear dropping to the bed and being turned off as a result.

If you're feeling like this is not the Rose you know, you're pretty close. She's still Rose, she's simply been possessed by a Yamask.

One who is apparently five years old or something.]]

Very fuckin' funny Lalonde. Try harder next time 'cause nobody is goin' to believe you.

Whu...

[[And now someone's being mean to her too???]]

But why wouldn't you believe me?

[[Eridan, can you hear the hurt in her voice? She's apparently crushed that you would insinuate that she's lying about something as terrifying as the boogeyman.]]

[roemance]

Because obviously this is some sort a failed trollin' attempt by you but it isn't going to work since everyone that knows you also knows that you wouldn't be scared by these rediculous things.

So seriously stop it, you're just embarrassin' yourself.

[Misaki didn't know whether to feel sorry for the poor girl or irritated at the girl's nonsense crying.]

And how old are you again?

video;

[tentacletrainer]

[[She stares at him a moment before just...crying more.]]

But I am scared!

[video]

[tentacletrainer]

S-six! [[It's not nonsense! Something is going to drag her under the bed and gobble her up!]]

video;

[roemance]

[Just waiting for her to stop before he says anything else.

waiting...]

video;

[tentacletrainer]

[[And waiting?

But at least she does reduce to small hiccups and sniffles once again.]]

I'm really really scared...what if it's Hypno? They come and kidnap children you know! What if it's him?!

[roemance]

[He still looks pretty annoyed, but eventually he looks like he is doubting himself a little.]

Holy fuck you actually are afraid of them aren't you.

[tentacletrainer]

[[NODDING!!!!!!!]] That's what I've been. S-saying the whole time!!

[video]

[brokenmemories]

[She's heard of 10 year olds going off on their own but six? What kind of world allows this?!]

Why are you even by yourself?! Shouldn't you be with your mother or something?

[But then again, she didn't even look six. ]

[moveslikestrider]

[He stares. And stares. His brain trying to click into gear. Finally it says fuck it, his sister has something wrong. It's like he wandered into the weird side of town.]

Hey. There's nothing under your bed, ok. If you don't believe me, I'll come in and double check.

[video]

[tentacletrainer]

I-I don't know where she is. [[A few hiccups.]] I called for her but she didn't come in here or anything!

[voice]

[captainash]

Something under your bed? Could be one of those weird ghosts floating around... Can you send a Pokémon there to look?

[video]

[tentacletrainer]

You'd come and check for me? [[That has her crying calming down considerably and she wipes at her eyes and nose a little.]]

It might be Hypno...or...o-or what if it's a big mean Gengar? But there's definitely something under there! I saw it!

[voice]

[tentacletrainer]

[[Oh...she hadn't thought of that.]] I th-think so...

[[Here she's just going to set you down for a moment mister and try and find her bag.

And then there's more crying.]]

My bag's across th-the room! Wh-what do I do now?

[Video] /jack

[moveslikestrider]

No shit, sherlock. Something's wrong. She'd never fake anything like this.

[video]

[moveslikestrider]

I'll make it go away if there's anything under there. [He picks up his Pokegear and it's now moving. He's coming for you sis.] When did this start? I mean, normally you're fine with things.

[voice]

[captainash]

[Oh dear.]

Do you have any rope or long object nearby? Anything that could help you get your bag?

[video]

[brokenmemories]

[The crying was starting to bum Misaki out, shit.]

A-At least you have one of those pokemon with you right? [Misaki was awkward with children. Even the ones that looked twice their age.] Maybe they could help you out or something?

[video]

[tentacletrainer]

Th-thank you! Thank you so much! [[YAY BIG BROTHER'S COMING TO HELP.]] But what do you mean? I don't know when it started. I got up and saw something go under my bed and just...it's probably something that's going to eat me!

[voice]

[tentacletrainer]

[[There's silence on her end, save for some sniffles, as she looks around.]]

M-maybe my violin bow? Do you think that would work?

[video]

[tentacletrainer]

Th-they're all in my bag. Whi-which is on the floor across the room.....

video;

[roemance]

[not even sure how to handle this]

You know that's pretty pathetic, right?

[The wrong way, obviously]

[tentacletrainer]

[[........wailing.

Good job, Eridan.]]

N-no it's not!!!! It's really s-scary!!!!
