WEEK 3: A GHOST PUN WOULD BE TOO TRANSPARENT

[fullthottle]

[Escha awakens in an unfamiliar place...but to a familiar face.]

[ that familiar face being a small, spooky sword. nikkari nods and waves a hand in greeting when escha's intangible form appears before him before launching into what seems to be a sort of practiced spiel. ]

Welcome back to this side, Malier-san. I'm sure you have many questions, but I shall outline the ones most likely on your mind right now. With help from Young-san, I have temporarily summoned you forth from the other realm for a short period of time. While in this form, you cannot make contact with things in this world—including me—nor may you speak aloud. Anything you wish to communicate to me, whether it be in response to a question I may ask or something of your own volition, you must convey through actions and gestures. After our time is up, which I will warn you of when I begin to feel our connection fading, you'll return to the other realm just as you had left it.

[ after that ruledump, he takes a moment to breathe. when he starts up again, he's noticeably more at ease than when he'd began; with the formalities and terms aside, the words he speaks now are his own. ]

. . . That all being said. Though your arrival must have been anything but pleasant, I hope you are doing well in Carlos-san and Polly-san's care. Is there anything you'd like me to pass on to anyone else, whether it be the group at large or specific people?

[ Escha doesn't look too surprised to see him. Surprised to have been summoned, maybe, not not surprised that it's Nikkari. After giving a polite bow, she listens patiently. She's already been informed that she can't speak, so she doesn't waste her time trying. Although... She's not great at charades.

She... motions to herself and then gives a thumbs-up? She's doing fine...! ]

Ah... Dick-san and Junpei-san probably told you about my role, didn't they? Haha. I should have known. [ a small laugh. ] I'm sure most of us on this side are aware that those of you on the island are safe, despite everything. Nevertheless, I shall let them know you're all right.

[ he's doing his best to look supportive! he gets how hard it must be to not be able to use words... he's found that gesturing along with the ones he summons makes them feel more comfortable, so he claps his hands together when she relays her condition, then switches to resting his head in his hand contemplatively. ]

Let's see... is there any information regarding last week's incidents that you wanted to clear up, or that you didn't get a chance to disclose at all?

sorry i'm so slow DX

[applechemist]

[ She nods - even if it's a little redundant, conveying that she's alright is unfortunately it's the only real thing she can think of.

Her expression falls a bit at the mention of last week, but... She was able to tell people afterwards already. In the end, the details of it don't strike her as very useful. So she shakes her head to shake it off. ]
