The blonde one.

[Grump grump.]

He complains a lot and gets in the way and keeps smiling this stupid smile even when he's causing trouble.

[ghoststrums]

... So you don't like him?

[ ???? ??? ]

[silentscout]

...no? He's my friend.

[Gaaaasp it's the F-word Lalli never says.]

[ghoststrums]

Oh. ... Yeah, that tracks.

[ with how lalli talks. ]

Is that from when you guys met, then?

[silentscout]

No, we had been working together for a couple months at that point. It took him that long to even try learning Finnish to communicate with me.

[This boy is a tsundere, given how he talks about Emil.]

[ghoststrums]

So you guys talked through a translator this whole time?

[ yamato can't even like. judge? because. same hat ]

[silentscout]

Sometimes. Other times, his stupidity was so obvious that it didn't need a translator.

[ghoststrums]

... Somehow, I can understand that feeling.

[ anyway, a funny for a funny; here is yamato vs ghost stories in real time because it's time to get 2x the embarrassment.

he is so mad about this ]

[silentscout]

[Oh. Well that's interesting.

Lalli doesn't laugh, because Lalli never laughs. But this look on his face? It's a smug one that could just almost pass for a smug smile.]

You really don't like ghosts, do you?

[ghoststrums]

I don't have a problem with ghosts!!!

[ immediately yelling ]

[silentscout]

[Pfffffff]

So I could tell a ghost story right now and you wouldn't be bothered?

[ghoststrums]

I wouldn't. [ ... ] But why would you tell a ghost story right now anyway? They're stupid.

[ :T ]

[silentscout]

[He immediately pulls out his cellphone and turns on the flashlight function.]

[ghoststrums]

There's already lights around, Lalli.

[ HE'S ANNOYED BECAUSE HE'S PREEMPTIVELY NOOO INSIDE ]

[silentscout]

There can be more lights. To be spooky.

[Doing this during the daytime tho, not spooky at all.]

[ghoststrums]

This is stupid.

[ but he's not leaving because... of his pride ]

[silentscout]

It's not stupid, you'll appreciate it.

[He clears his throat, and then:]

Once, I thought I saw a ghost crawling across the floor. But it was actually a cucumber. The end.

[Yeah.]

[ghoststrums]

[ ...

no, lalli was right, he does appreciate it, and yamato kind of laughs a little, surprised. and. secretly relieved. ]

A... a cucumber? How did you mix that up?

[silentscout]

They're both oblong-shaped and a dark color.

[Honestly hearing the laugh and seeing Yamato look relieved is so much better than scaring him on purpose. Maybe being nice does have its perks!]

[ghoststrums]

[ it does because yamato keeps smiling at him even in his confusion!! ]

Ghosts are oblong? Since when?

[silentscout]

Since always. They're kind of like this-

[He makes a big arch shape with his finger, which looks vaguely like someone drawing the outline of a person.]

[ghoststrums]

[ he. pauses, tilts his head and kind of goes "huh". because he... can sort of see it? and also doesn't want to know why lalli sounds so confident ]

...Must've been a big cucumber, though. [ lightly, and he doesn't want to linger on that or memories in general so s-subject change!!! ] How's your extra credit going?

[silentscout]

[Lalli's thought process might be odd to most people, but there's a logical progression to it. The trick is just getting him to explain himself.

He does accept the topic change though, and he shrugs.]

It's hard to do it without making it obvious what I'm doing. The one I have now is something I wouldn't do normally.

[ghoststrums]

Mm. What is it? Maybe I can help.

[ because "not something I would normally do" ... covers a lot for lalli ]

[silentscout]

If I tell you, then you can't help with it.
