Our avatars are in a room together

Link crosses his arms, muttering as if to curse himself.

-Obtain ONE (1) Shady Business Card-

...Spirits and Such. Do you mean to say we're being haunted right this instant?

-He smiles jokingly-

Yes yes... I too conduct my business in a pantry.

...

<I'm sorry. I really had to get away.>

<I couldn't go on the battlefield. I'd be eaten alive...>

<It's not their faults...>

"...It isn't for everyone."

-Pina-

If that's meant to be a joke, you clearly have no passion for your job, if you're not willing to take risks.

-Stevo-

...A card game? You mean, like, poker or craps, or one of those children's card games?

I used to play a little bit of Monster Dueling back in my middle school days....The Emperor of Contests, they'd call me....

-Looks wistful a moment, before hearing Philip's joking question-

-He SWWWWWINGS over to look at him, giving him an Extremely Intense and Heavily Shaded Gaze-

Yes. You are.

"You aren't the first and won't be the last, in any world."

The dorky kind, man.

And I ain't ashamed of it.

Either way, dude...

I could believe that there's a spirit haunting this place right now.

<I bet my parents hate me... They probably already have a new, less shameful child...>

Oh no no no, I'm still a student, Mr. Spice.

-Pina chuckles-

-Reigen, those sheep horns-

"How can you know that? How can anyone?"

"...I'm sure they don't. You're being too hard on yourself."

<Cause my uncle has given them shame. I've given them shame... And my brother didn't even see the battle before... We've caused them so much grief...>

"...They're probably more worried about where you are than whether you've restored your family's honor."

-His amused expression isn't broken in the slightest-

Really? Could I ask you to consult it? Or would that count as a business service?

-Reigen is very much used to Furries and their Ridiculous Suits walking around this place by now-

-He stands up straight and adjusts his tie, glancing coldly down at Philip-

Don't think I don't notice that smart-alec look on your face, kid. Don't believe in ghosts?

Are mummies a thing, or does that just... fall under ghost.

Just curious.

-Ah yes, those ridiculous suits with moving eyes and mouths-

Haunted, eh?

I don't recall seeing any ghosts around here.

<They're probably worried, yes. But that shame has probably made them outcasts now...>

"The hell with the shame, and the hell with 'honor.' You have a family and they're worried about you."

<If I get back, I'll be in so much trouble. They'll lock me up forever...>

"And how do you know that? What did you do to prompt that?"

Generally speaking no. I haven't found a reason to believe yet.

-He looks aside in thought-

Well. Maybe outside of an exception or two.

-He grins up at Reigen-

Care to change my mind?

-Stevo-

Mummies are absolutely real. They're kept in museums.

-Pina-

Obviously you're not going to be seeing ghosts very often. They're ghosts.

-Philip-

...Oh? You say you don't believe, but you claim to have exceptions?....

I meant- y'know-

The animate ones.

Well if they don’t bother me, they aren’t my problem then.

-Pina gives Reigen a dismissive shrug-

<Stealing a warship and abandoning my class of warriors. My friends don’t have me as a meatshield anymore...>

Correct. Based on factual physical interactions I've witnessed.
