For you, maybe. I've never seen a haunted Japanese mansion, specifically. Not in-depth, anyway. This is refreshing.

[ the doll on a nearby cabinet seems to be turning its head to stare at them. dante flicks its head. ]

[Manwol watches its head spin around on its little body.]

So you're more used to Western horror? American?

[dante could also be italian maybe]

[foreverphantom]

American. I've been around all over, but I'm most familiar with American ghosts and their particular manner of haunting.

[lifeless]

I'm jealous.

[OF BEING AMERICAN?]

I've always wanted to travel the world too.

Eh, it wasn't that great. Mainly because of me.

I've been trying it out again, though.

[Manwol gives him a look, half-understanding, half-curious, then continues down the hall of this creepy mansion.]

I hope it goes better for you this time then. We might be dead, but that doesn't mean our time should be wasted.

[foreverphantom]

It has been. Going better, I mean.

It's a lot more interesting when the world is in half-decent shape.

[lifeless]

What happened to the other half?

[is this an apocalypse situation]

[foreverphantom]

I did.

[dante.....]

So you destroyed the world, but then you got better?

[foreverphantom]

Basically, yes.

[lifeless]

Wow...

[said in the tone of I thought that only happed in movies]

[foreverphantom]

Where I'm from, the human world has very few defenses against ghosts. It was child's play to destroy it.

[lifeless]

I'm more interested in why you changed your mind. Why didn't you finish the job?

[foreverphantom]

I did. But it was undone--I was pulled out of that timeline for good and imprisoned. And by the time I could escape and try it in the new timeline, I was thwarted. And then there was no point.
