hollower | ☠ 9th Haunt ☠

[It's late in the day, and Perona's just waking up. Since the end of the draft, she'shad the worst kind of sleep possible - either little at all or wrecked with horrendous nightmares. Normally she's never been bothered by the sight of death, corpses, blood, and the like, but...that was when it wasn't her own body that was dead. She couldn't help dwelling on that fact every now and again, and when she felt she was just starting to forget and get over it, her dreams reminded her. Even everyday life began to be a mess on her nerves. Day by day she kept getting anxious about being outside, especially when on her own in quiet places. It felt like she was being...watched.

So today, after getting up and tying back her hair - she doesn't bother with brushing it yet, she needs a strong cup of coffee before doing her morning routine today - she settles down with aforementioned cup of coffee and sighs. Waving her hand, a few of her ghosts materialize from her palm and phase through her walls to go out and observe Luceti for their master. Perona's much too lazy to scout things for herself, and besides...she looks terrible and it's too late in the day to get ready.

As she reads through her journal, she sighs and sips her coffee, rubbing her face slowly. Ugh, she knows she should go out and do things, but she's so lazy. In fact, she knows what she really wants to do - she wants to sail. She's even seen ships moored near the ocean here, and thought to, erm...borrow one if they weren't being used. Might as well ask, right? Just so she doesn't get anyone on her case if she does happen to take one, but for weeks she's seen the ships there, and they haven't been cleaned, moved, or tended to at all...it was kind of depressing, actually. They were lovely ships.]

The ships moored near the ocean...are they being used at all? I'd like to set sail later today for a day or two.

[No, she does not know about the ocean nor the ships, by the way. That they have both poofed, just so we're clear.]

[Firo hardly believed when he'd heard that a whole ocean disappeared, but he went down to check soon after he heard the rumors and... yup. The whole thing just gone. He hasn't gone down to see if it's back, but he figures he should at least mention it.]

Well... No, it doesn't seem like they're really bein' used, but it doesn't seem like they're able to be used.

[Vash was out enjoying a bagful of donuts as he sits on the fountain. It was a very nice day out and he was having fun. He peers up and spots a ghost floating around.] Hey! I know you! [He pops another donut into his mouth. Just a ghost that made him horribly depressed in the past. No big deal.]

At least one is! It belongs to me and a friend of mine.

[She may or may not sound a little too proud of that fact.]

You don't mean... the ocean ocean, do you?

[Anise is about as well-informed about the ocean situation as Perona is (which is to say, not at all). But, a luxurious ocean cruise feels like exactly what she needs right now!]

[Just to be clear, it's not at all because Anise is afraid of the cultists breaching the barrier after what she learned in the last draft. Not at all. And it's definitely not that Anise was still having trouble sleeping because of all of the nightmares.]

[She just needed a luxury cruise.]

Are you planning on sailing somewhere?

[Because you can count Anise in.]
