... Ah. It happened again, didn't it...

I meant to text my brother asking him if he thinks we should make an offering to the ghost in our basement.

[fiddlestick]

Haha, look like it did! It's been happening a lot. Sorry.

[But right. Ghost issue. Normally he'd brush it off as someone being superstitious or joking but.....after the week he's had, he's now seriously wondering if there's ghosts too on top of everything else that's weird.

Oh, that's a terrifying thought. He can't even handle watching horror movies, how could he possibly handle real ghosts???]

Do you really have a ghost?

[covenantal]

... I guess the real answer to that question is "maybe." I feel like you never know anymore, in this city ...

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of...

Maybe you should try an offer? Or at least try to make friends with it...

[Then it might less inclined to eat your faces]

[covenantal]

I was thinking we could make a small shrine, to at least honor it.

[fiddlestick]

Oh! That's an even better idea. Maybe they might like knowing someone cares...

[covenantal]

We should always honor those who have gone before us, shouldn't we? I'm just not sure what to include with the shrine. We don't have their picture, after all...

[fiddlestick]

Hmmm...
Well, what would you usually do to show people you care or remember them?

[covenantal]

Light some incense, and bring them their favorite thing. I can at least get some incense... and maybe leave a few flowers.

[fiddlestick]

Yeah! See? I'm sure they'd appreciate that!

I recommend yellow zinnias for the flowers.

[covenantal]

I don't know flower language very well yet... why those?

[fiddlestick]

Aha, I don't know flower language well either. Just that one, really.

They mean daily remembrance.

[covenantal]

Daily remembrance... are yellow zinnias your favorite flower?

[fiddlestick]

[More like he uses them to decorate his parents graves, but that's awkward to mention in your first conversation with someone]

Ahaha, something like that.

[covenantal]

Well, I appreciate the advice. I'll let you know if my offering is a success. I feel as if we're in this together, now.

[fiddlestick]

Please do! I'd like to know if it helped!

I'm Elliot. This isn't how I normally meet people, but it's nice to meet you!

[covenantal]

Yu Narukami. °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖° Nice to meet you too, Elliot. Believe it or not, I've made some of my closest friends this way.

[fiddlestick]

Awww what a cute smiley! 😄
I believe it! Some of the greatest friends are ones you didn't expect to make.

[covenantal]

They're called kaomojis. Have you not seen them before?

Agreed. （●´∀｀）ノ♡

[fiddlestick]

Oh, um sometimes I see anime fans use them?
But I've never really been that into that stuff.

[covenantal]

You know, I don't really watch anime, come to think of it...

But they're fun to use. There's apps for them, if you're interested in giving them a try.

[fiddlestick]

Really?
That does sound pretty fun...

[a pause]

Just checking
It's not culturally inappropriate for a non-japanese person to use them, right?
I don't want to make anyone mad.

[covenantal]

No, not at all. It might be strange if you adopted the use of honorifics if you weren't Japanese, but kaomoji are a universal language. (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

[fiddlestick]

Whew, that's a relief. [There's a pause and-] ٩( ′ㅂ`)و ̑̑
I just want to make anyone mad.
I've seen how scary Tumblr can get.

[Internet is a scary place man.]
