Someone is, er, WAS bored...

[thirteenth_brat]

[See Roxas. See Roxas walking down the hall and right past the elevator.

His Cambot stops by the elevator and looks at it for a moment. When it looks back to Roxas, he's standing with his arms folded across his chest and has tapping his foot as well.]

Seriously? You already know why I'm not taking the elevator. It's bad enough the elevators are randomly getting stuck, I don't need for it to be stuck when that gho---

[It is at that moment that there is an ear splitting shriek that will only be audible to those seeing and hearing the ghosts. Roxas first winces at the sound and then freezes, eyes going wide for a second, before he turns and RUNS as fast as possible. Cambot doesn't follow at first, allowing for the source of Roxas's distress to enter its field of vision. It's the ghost of a teenage who looks like she might have drowned when a car went off a bridge or something similarly cruel, but she doesn't seem to be particularly bothered by the how and why of her demise as she pursues Roxas with the determination of a pop star groupie.]

JEEESSEEEEEEE!!

[Clearly, this ghost has mistaken him for someone else. It's also rather obvious he's not going to be able to convince that he's not this Jesse guy. Both Roxas and the ghost disappear around the corner and Cambot hesitates a moment before following. The feed ends here.]

[Perry had been avoiding most of the recent craziness. He wasn't seeing ghosts, he wasn't bothered by the color red, and as far as he could tell he hadn't developed super strength either.

He was mostly laying low, but even he couldn't help but notice when Roxas came running down the hall looking like he was being chased by...something. The fact that Perry couldn't see it told him that it was probably one of those ghosts that everyone was talking about.

He starts running with Roxas, an eyebrow raised to ask him what he's running from.]

[action]

[thirteenth_brat]

[Roxas notices Perry quick enough, though before he can say anything, there's another fangirl shriek from the ghost, which causes him to wince and wonder if living girls are capable of such volumes. Perry, you are so lucky you are not seeing or hearing ghosts right now.]

Guh! I'll explain when we lose the ghost!

[action]

[ttlynotanagent]

[Perry had learned the ins and outs of this ship so that he could duck out without being seen if need be. He had no idea where the ghost was in relation to them but he had to help somehow. He knew they were coming up to a turn in the hallway and there SHOULD be a janitor's closet just past that turn. He would need to act fast.

Perry sprinted ahead, rounding the corner and hoping Roxas would follow. As soon as Roxas rounded the corner he would find himself yanked into a closet by a small, green platypus.]

[action]

[thirteenth_brat]

[When Perry dashes ahead, Roxas can only wonder for a moment. Then it occurs to him that the little guy might have an idea, so he follows.

He's not expecting to get yanked into the janitor's closet, but he finds he can't complain when the ghost runs by without realizing she's missed him. He waits a bit to make sure she's out of earshot before speaking, since the ghosts seem to have normal human hearing. He still keeps his voice low.]

That ghost thinks I'm someone else...

[action]

[ttlynotanagent]

[Perry is glad Roxas caught on. He waits for confirmation that the ghost is gone and nods at Roxas's explanation. He considers his situation for a moment and then takes his hat off and does his "just a platypus" vacant stare. He's suggesting Roxas take a disguise. He puts the hat back on, and shrugs. Other than that, he's not sure how much help he can be. Perry can't fight ghosts.]

[action]

[thirteenth_brat]

[Roxas thinks over that a moment. It sounds like it might be the best idea, if he's correctly understanding what Perry's trying to tell him.]

A disguise?

[It's certainly worth trying, at least.]

[action]

[ttlynotanagent]

[Perry nods. Good Roxas you can play charades. Luckily for you, Perry has all kinds of things stashed around the SoL for various purposes. Disguises are a big part of what he does, after all, he's a spy.

He turns around and digs behind a box labeled "WHATSITS" and produces a beanie hat and some very dark shades. He holds them up to Roxas.]

[action]

[thirteenth_brat]

[A beanie... Well, it could work, as long as he stayed quiet as well. The only thing that really reigns in his temptation to mock Seifer is the fact that Seifer isn't there to 'appreciate' the mocking. He accepts the items.]

Thanks, I'll try it.

[action]

[ttlynotanagent]

[Perry gives him a thumbs up then hops back over to the door, peering out before realizing he has no idea if the cost is clear or not.

Whoops.

He looks back to Roxas with an apologetic smile and shrug before heading out of the closet. Sorry, that was as much as he could do for you.]

[halfdarkened]

It's the red on your collar! You've got to get rid of it!

Throw it in the hall, I'll get rid of it while you hide!

[thirteenth_brat]

Not this again! We need to have a serious talk later!

[And still running. SO help him, Riku, if you blow whatever hiding spot he manages to find, he will kick your ass.]

[halfdarkened]

Yes, we do.

Just get rid of it! If the ghost is attracted to the red, I can lure it away!

[And yet there could be a legit strategy here...]

[thirteenth_brat]

...

[Seriously...? Roxas sighs.]

The ghost isn't attracted to red. She thinks I'm some guy named Jesse.

[halfdarkened]

[He smirks slyly. ...Except he doesn't actually know better.]

That's what it WANTS you to think.

[thirteenth_brat]

[Roxas will gladly smack some sense into him if he blows his cover.]

Did it ever occur to you, even for a moment, that you sudden fear of red might have something to do with that crazy stuff that happens sometimes on this satellite?

[halfdarkened]

[Riku may be missing SOME sense right now, but he's not going to make things worse for poor Roxas.]

Coincidence.

[thirteenth_brat]

[That's only making him a little bit less annoying.]

We need to talk when this week is over...

[halfdarkened]

You bet we do. [His tone matches Roxas's]

OH MY GOD THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN

[salvagedlight]

You too, huh?

[Who is this "Jesse" guy? The ghost that had mistaken Ven for this guy - if it was the same guy - was at least saner than this one. Maybe this one would faint (well, ghost-faint) if she sees two of them.]

*snerk*

[thirteenth_brat]

Yeah. This is just bizarre.

[Roxas is keeping his voice very low so as not to draw the ghost's attention.]

He wears their damn wristband it's REQUIRED

[salvagedlight]

At least mine wasn't like that. What's she screaming so much for, anyway?

[He doesn't blame you there.]

I did not know that.

[thirteenth_brat]

[Roxas thinks on that a moment. He hasn't really thought of what the screaming might mean, but now that he does stop to think of it, he thinks he has an answer and it makes the whole situation worse, in some ways.]

Hmm... The guy they're mistaking us for might be famous and on some worlds people go nuts for chances to spend time with celebrities.

Yeah, there's lot of pics of him with a checkered armband. I think mostly from KH2-time.

[salvagedlight]

Famous? Then I hope I'm never famous.

[He has no desire to get chased by crazy teenagers, alive or dead.]

Heh

[thirteenth_brat]

[That gets an amused smile out of Roxas. He's pretty sure some worlds are more sane than others with how they deal with celebrities, but it doesn't look like saying so will convince Ven right now.]

Better famous than infamous, I would think.

[salvagedlight]

Maybe, but I'll hope for neither. That's waaaaay too much trouble.
