001 ☾ VIDEO // ACTION FOR ROUTE 29
[It's around nighttime when this video post comes up. A girl in a school uniform with a pair of read headphones on her neck smiles at the camera, seemingly used to this situation and not bothered by it at all. Judging by the scenery, she's already left New Bark Town.]
Hey, wandering around the woods at night like this reminds me of a story. If you're interested, keep listening. After all, no one's ever too old for a nice bedtime story!
[Her smile not faltering, she begins to recount the horrifying tale.]
Okay, so here it goes. Rumor has it that should one ever venture into a forest at night, you'll have the chance of encountering a creature resembling a very tall and skinny man wearing a suit with no face. His arms and legs are so thin and long, that they almost look like wires! If you stare at him too long, he will take you. But no matter how far you run, he'll always be there when you look back. Just standing there and watching.
Some say that if he doesn't take you away right there and then, you'll start to feel sick from that day on. Not only that, but if you look out your window, he'll be there. Just standing and watching. Until the day you go insane or he finally takes you away. Now, some rumors say that his victims are found a few days later hanging off the branches of dead trees, their internal organs removed and put back inside, only encased in a strange sac of unknown material.
Oh, and the thing about him? The more you think about him, the more likely he'll come to you.
[Without any warning, the face of a Duskull flies towards the camera. A deliberate jump scare. Minato giggles, pulling the Duskull away from the camera and holding him with her free arm.]
Well then! Wasn't that a fun story? I should make this a routine or something! Wouldn't that be nice?

Ooh, that one's good too! We should keep brainstorming so we have a lot to pick from! What about, "Minato's Nightly Tales of Terror"? [←Title said in the most hilariously tryhard spookiest manner ever.]
[video]
All right! That one's really cool, but what about, "Mina's Coffin-side Stories?" or "Tales of the Dark with Evil Queen Minato~"? [Gonna copy that tryhard spookiness and raise it to level 10.]
[video]
Mm, those have a really dark ring to them! But I think we should emphasize the stories rather than me! How about "MiNaTo-ChAn'S FrIgHt FoR tHe NiGhT~"? [UPPING THE ANTE AWW YEAH]
[video]
"FATAL FRIGHTS OF THE NIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT~"[AIN'T NO ONE GONNA STOP 'EM NOW][video]
Haha... You're pretty fun! Mind telling me your name?
[video]
Ah! Uh -- [what was his name again... don't mind him, he's just suffering from Shy Boy Syndrome.] -- I'm Rin Okumura!
[video]
And I'm Minato Arisato! This is Thanatos, my starter. We're new. [The Duskull chirps with a greeting.] It's nice to meet you, Rin-chan!
[Why use such a girlish nickname? Because... she feels like it.]
[video]
Isn't that too... cutesy? It's nice meeting you and Thanatos. [that name was so weird AND SO VERY COOL. ...He shouldn't suggest it. But he should. But he shouldn't. BUT HE WILL.] We should tell stories some time! ...you know, whenever it happens. [totally not awkward] My starter's not much for cameras but you wanna see Soba instead?
[video]
[Complete bullshit, but whatever.]
But yeah! I don't mind telling stories together. You're pretty cool, after all.
[video]
Ya think? Really? [NOW HE'LL HAVE TO READ BOOKS AND MORE LEARN STORIES...]
