obfuscate | 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?

Mmm... I think it started a long time ago, when I was little. Sometimes I had these dreams that someone was talking to me, but I could never make out their face and voice. I wanted to find out what it was, so I started going on the internet... and lo and behold!

So you like ghost stories... because you think ghosts were talking to you when you were a kid?

Well, I wouldn't say ghosts... It was the same person each time. I think I also like scary stories because of the look on people's faces when I tell them. I do feel bad if they get too scared, though!

*She giggles.*

Okay, that makes a bit more sense.

Anyway, I'm Hikari. Are you new here?

Nice to meet you, Hikari! I'm Minato~ And yeah, I'm new here.

[She holds up the Duskull so that the computer can capture it better.]

And this is Thanatos!

*Hikari blinked, looking into the feed for the moment. Why'd she have a guy's name?*

It's nice to meet you too, Minato-chan.

And he's pretty adorable. He doesn't look scary at all.

[Because girls can be named Minato too! It's a small world~]

Mm~ He's cute. He kind of reminds me of a really important person to me.

*Well, true. Techinically guys and girls could be named anything that their parents wanted. Though it was still a bit odd...*

Really? Who does he remind you of?

Like I said, someone really important to me!

[IT'S A SEEEEKRIT. Actually not really.]

Mm, guess I could say that he's my boyfriend or something?

Really? You don't really seem sure about that though.

I mean, that he's your boyfriend, not that he's who you're reminded of.

Well, it's a complicated issue. We really do care about each other, though~!

Oh, okay.

Well, if he does show up here, good luck figuring it out then.
