[ peeks his head in through the door

as in, straight up phases through the wall of the lounge halfway with the rest of him ostensibly still outside of the room ]

[headmt]

[ YELLING ]

[shaft]

[ tries to comfort him but now he is standing half in molly ]

[headmt]

[ this is awkward ]

This is so forward of you.

[shaft]

I didn't know I had it in me.

[ scrambles away ]

[highestheim]

I've been like this for half a week—!

[headmt]

You just scared me is all! Sorry!

[highestheim]

Huh... I wasn't aware you were afraid of ghosts.

[outsidebones]

Oh, hello, Hope. We are singing religious songs.

[highestheim]

. . . I can't say that's what I was expecting to walk into.

[toesies]

...

God, I will never get used to seeing you both like this. Wanna sing Beyoncé?

[highestheim]

[ bouncing off of harrow: ]

Is Beyoncé a religion?

[toesies]

Yes?

[highestheim]

[ ... okay, he can't keep the facade going for that long, he just kinda starts laughing. ]

I'm kidding. I don't know any specific songs of hers, but I know who she is thanks to some of my Wiwaldi friends.

[evocationary]

[hums spooky scary skeletons into the karaoke mic when she sees this]

[highestheim]

[ ...looks down at himself... ]

Uh, for all intents and purposes, I don't think I have a skeleton right now.

[evocationary]

Technically you do, it's just not here right now.

[highestheim]

... I would rather not consider the current state of my physical body...

[ theres probably bugs crawling over it and shit rn... gross... ]

[skyagain]

[ ... if he was a ghost he could ghost the party... ]

[highestheim]

[ boo

. . . raises a hand as he walks into the room fully?? ]

No offense, but you seem a little out of your element here.

[skyagain]

This really isn't my scene.

[ a beat ]

Even without the religious songs.

[highestheim]

[ slow nod . . . ]

I won't pretend I know too much about karaoke myself, but even this seems kind of... not correct.

[liuli]

[ raises glass in greeting ]

How nice of you to haunt us.

[highestheim]

Does this really count as a haunting if I'm not really doing anything particularly ghostlike?

[ other than, yknow, gestures ]

[liuli]

You might as well have fun with it, don't you think? You are a bit livelier than Strife, at the moment.
