[It's night time at the CMA, and the atmosphere may seem spookier depending on one's taste. Lanterns of different colors can be seen hanging everywhere, predominantly orange and red. There is also a distinct smell of cookies in the air.

Most might not notice this nice little change right away though because of the large amount of ghosts roaming the premises. Humans, Pokemon, Ghost Types, you name it. They will be noticed upon setting foot in the CMA.

Some are local, some followed a certain young man into this world a few days ago. Maybe one of the ghosts is a familiar face. Maybe they want to say hi.

Maybe start following you.

Maybe make faces at you.

A lot of them are harassing. About 60%.

You can grab your best guy/gal/gender defying individual and run for the hills! Your call....Or grab a free cookie from the culprit, who's seated in front of the Pokemon Center sadly.]

..You two don't seem on very good terms.

[He frowns, clearly hearing the remark. But he doesn't want to judge quickly...]

How do you know another?

[stalkerwithacap]

... you don't want to know.

[smiiirk from the ghost]

[scattercrumbs]

I can't help you if I don't know.

..Just saying.

How do you know each other?

[He looks towards the ghost, opening the question for him too.]

[stalkerwithacap]

[He senses the ghost is going to speak, so he cuts his "he's the one--"]
I'm the one who sent him to hell.

["Such nice wording"]

[scattercrumbs]

[He's not so eager to help him anymore.]

You killed him?

[stalkerwithacap]

He tried first. I defended myself and saved someone I love.

[The ghost sneers but doesn't deny. He has his own kind of honour]

[scattercrumbs]

[Hilbert doesn't approve of killing at all. He groans, straightening out his cap and personal bias.]

Um....do you still have the weapon?

Or something of his?

[One of them was going to die either way. He just made sure he wasn't the one to die]

... no. It happened back in my world... and it was kind of improvised anyway.

[stalkerwithacap]

["I bled over that cap of yours, boy."]

[stalkerwithacap]

[... wait why are you being helpful suddenly, you were haunting him a second ago. HE DOESN'T TRUST YOU]

[Yeah he's not too fond of this ghost. Hilbert's normally fine with ghosts, but SHEESH]

[Pointing at your cap]

I don't think I can talk him off.

It looks like we're going to have discard that.

Burn it most likely. Whatever can trace back to him.

[stalkerwithacap]

... do scars count as "trace back"?

[scattercrumbs]

[Cringing, and just when he's was calming down.]

I don't think we have to go that far.

[stalkerwithacap]

Good.

[stalkerwithacap]

["Spare yourself the exorcism, I'm leaving."]

Huh?

["I'm not giving you the satisfaction of getting rid of me again." He salutes you, Hilbert. "It must be entertaining being you. I wish you luck with the likes of him or me."]

[That's a relief. He smiles a bit knowingly.]

[scattercrumbs]

..Whether a human or a Pokemon, ghosts usually decide when to come and go. You can't force your way on them.

I wasn't going to make you go all through that.

[He tilts his absent hat, though his eyes are still smirking.
"That would nearly sound wise. If I didn't know better."
He turns.
"Hopefully I won't run into you again."
One step away.
"And you, boy, things will catch up with you sooner or later."
And he's gone]

[stalkerwithacap]

... sorry about that.

[scattercrumbs]

It's okay. Really.

[..]

It's a shame you two had an unfortunate meeting.

[stalkerwithacap]

Yeah.
[...]
... it's not my usual way of dealing with things.

[scattercrumbs]

I didn't mean to snap at you earlier.

[Reaching underneath his cap.]

I don't really support violence.

1/2

[stalkerwithacap]

He brought violence to us.

[stalkerwithacap]

[sigh] Though when I stepped out that day I knew he was going to try and kill me, and I fully intended to win. So I guess it kind of makes us even. As far as I'm concerned at least.
