5 Little Ghosts ☠ Video

[talking_dead]

[Hello Asgard, it's Norman again in his winter jacket and wrapped up in his long red scarf. He's currently giving the feed an incredulous look while sitting on the ground next to Mary and her dog house. (Which may be strange in itself because Mary is actually a green colored sheep.) There's also a giant robot in the background, but that's not Norman's problem.]

Has anyone else been seeing weird box...things floating around? They errr sort of glow too.

[To show that he's NOT crazy, Norman tilts the feed view up so that there's a brightly colored, glowing box hovering above Mary's house.]

Think it's radioactive? [He's probably going to take it down anyways, but he wanted to ask first.]

((ooc: The prize box plot is now GO! Details are here, and Norman will be responding ICly after he's opened it to reveal what's inside. Your character can comment with what they found as well!))

Norman-san, you found one too? I wonder what's inside...

[She's holding onto a box herself, not sure if she should open it now or wait until she's off of the street.]

[talking_dead]

[It takes a couple of minutes, but Norman gets back on video with a regular cardboard box under one arm and some white cards in the other hand.]

I think they're some kind of pinata thing. [Reading one of the cards:] "Remember something important"? It's got one of those magic circles you were talking about before.

[saving_sound]

Huh? It's got runes?

[Well that changes things. Overcome by curiosity, she begins opening her own box, eventually pulling out identical cards.]

...These ones say the same thing. Remember something important...?

[talking_dead]

Maybe that's what you have to do for it to work? [He's quiet for a moment as he stares intensely at the card, and finally the array lights up briefly as the other side begins to develop into a photo of a ghost.

Of course it's on the opposite side that Norman's viewing:]

Did it do anything?

[saving_sound]

Ah--

Norman-san! There's a picture on the back!

[talking_dead]

[Flipping it over, Norman suddenly gasps at the picture before a big smile spreads over his face.]

It's my grandma! [This is pretty amazing, in his opinion, especially because it looks exactly like her. He really does miss his grandma in Asgard.]

[extradite]

Please don't spill the contents of glowing boxes on the floor.

[talking_dead]

Pieces of paper aren't going to hurt the floor. [Hi Shinji.]

Anyways, are you still inside? [He's going back into the house anyways.]

[extradite]

You never know, and I only just cleaned it.

[extradite]

...aaaa - do you need me to be inside? Are you waiting for a package?

[talking_dead]

Uh, no? But I wanted to show you something. So...if you're not around, I can wait.

[extradite]

[ ...he was going out, but it's just rare enough that Norman asks anything of him that he sort of has to. ]

It's fine. I'll... turn around. Really. Just - wait a moment. It won't be long! I'll rush.

[talking_dead]

[Yes good, Norman is quite pleased with that response.]

Okay! I'll be in the living room.

[extradite]

[ Aaaaaaaaand he'll be rushing in like the exceptionally short incarnation of a natural disaster in three -

- two -

- ooooooooooooone. ]

Wha - hah... hah... wha... what... what is it?

1/2

[talking_dead]

Wuh--!

[Oh.

Oh, he really did rush. This is awkward. Give Norman (already partially jumped up from his seat on the couch) to blink back in surprise.]

[talking_dead]

[Yuuuuuup, definitely awkward.]

U-um, you didn't need to actually run back. [Not that he doesn't appreciate it, but now what he wanted to show Shinji doesn't seem that important to require an actual rush back home.]

I...wanted to show you my family. [Which is why he's holding a onto the cards he got from the magic box. (He threw out the box when he found out it was actually made out of cardboard.)]

[extradite]

[ He'll quite possibly return to adequate breathing aaaany minute now. ]

..it's fine. Keeping... in... sha...

[ ...oh. He actually waits to recover his breath before covering their distance. ]

Your family. All right - show me. Your family.

[saving_sound]

It is-?

[She blinks in surprise for a moment before looking more closely at the runes. After a moment of trying to decipher them...]

Norman-san... When you remembered something important, did you remember your grandmother?

[talking_dead]

[At least he doesn't against it, so that gets a small smile before Norman hands over three of the cards. One is of Norman's parents standing together. His mother looks to be the motherly type, while his father looks to be a little on the stern side. The second is Norman's sister, the more "normal" sibling between the two of them. Then finally, a picture of Norman's grandma, although it looks a little...off compared to the others.]

That's my mom and dad. That one's of Courtney, she's my sister. And that's my grandma-- she's a ghost in that. [Yup.]

[talking_dead]

Uh-huh...My grandma's really important to me. I kind of miss her.

[saving_sound]

[She can relate to that a little...]

The runes must make it so that whatever you remember gets transferred to the paper. And then you can have pictures of all of your important memories!

Is it okay if I see the picture again?

[talking_dead]

Sure! [He's more than happy to show the picture again, but he's trying to show it better by keeping his fingers to the edges.]

[saving_sound]

[She moves closer to the screen to try and get a better look at the picture.]

Waaah... She looks so nice!

[talking_dead]

Yeah, my grandma is the best. She used to knit stuff for me, and she watches movie marathons with me all the time. [Since she sort of sticks to the living room.]

[saving_sound]

Movie marathons? You mean like... The zombie ones?
