Casper, the friendly ghost.

[eccarlate.livejournal.com]

So, this is who Casper is? A friendly ghost? Huh. Was that rat trying to tell me something?

He just wants to make friends... It's true, it does get boring trying to scare people after a while. Not that I was ever really good at it in the first place...! ...This isn't such a bad book, maybe if there were books like these back home no one would have minded Marona's powers as much. It doesn't matter what kind of friends you have, as long as they're loyal to you. Ghost, human, demon...

... Saah, that's a bit too idealistic. Humans can't even see beyond differences of their own type, much less try to be friendly with people who are different.

Speaking of which... Kallen, do you have a moment?

Hey, don't shove us all in there Ash! You should know better!

[eccarlate.livejournal.com]

... Sorry. I was just thinking of when we were in Ivoire and...

[wannabe_maiden]

Yeah, it's okay. It's not like if it's that better back home...

Hey, at least it's pretty accepting around here huh?

[eccarlate.livejournal.com]

I think we're too crazy to hate each other here, but... you're right. I should look at the positive.

[wannabe_maiden]

That depends... there's some crazy to the point that they want to kill everyone here.

... don't jinx it, I don't feel like really going crazy here. Even if I can't help to think it's too late.

[eccarlate.livejournal.com]

... I wonder if it's true, that if you die here... you don't...
W-Why am I so unlucky...

[wannabe_maiden]

... yeah, it's true.

Eh? Well, maybe it's because you were a ghost back home and not totally dead? Does this even make sense?

[eccarlate.livejournal.com]

But even if I wasn't totally dead here, I could have still come back to life!
... Then again, I'd also be a lot older than I look.

[wannabe_maiden]

Sorry? Maybe if you died again, you'd come back alive? ... you know what I mean. I wouldn't recommend it but...

Huh, how old are you?

[eccarlate.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm nearing thirty at this rate...

[wannabe_maiden]

Heh, you don't really act thirty.

[eccarlate.livejournal.com]

I'll take that as a compliment.

[wannabe_maiden]

Nice to see you smiling for once.

... hey Ash. Have you ever tried the cursed springs?

[eccarlate.livejournal.com]

I tend to stay away from those, I don't want to be turned into a woman, or some sort of puppet, or... who knows what.

[wannabe_maiden]

Yeah, but you could always fall in one that makes you alive.

[eccarlate.livejournal.com]

I find it odd that one of those would exist...

... but then again, this is...

[wannabe_maiden]

The Island, yeah.

Heh, I turned into some sort of weird computer program once... I think that's what it's called. SO why not?

[eccarlate.livejournal.com]

Computer?

[wannabe_maiden]

Err, it's like a machine that does whatever you tell it to do by entering commands... I think that's what Kururu said. Maybe.
