User ImageScerams smiles and nods at the buck's question. "Yes. There's First Ghost, who's been with me so long I don't remember her first name. Only that she is a mongoose." She stops, taking some time to gather their names. "Twisted Root is the first Kimeti ghost I met. Then there are Forgotten Bones and Glinting Pebble, they are Kimeti too." Another pause, while Screams thinks. "I could list all my ghosts, if you want. But it is a long list. Most of them are animals, foxbuns, mongooses, lynx. Any pet animal, I have at least one." She looks down again, then nods. "Of Kimeti pets, that is. I don't know anything about the not-Kimeti or their pets."

User Image Quite a list of ghosts she had; he wondered how she kept them all straight. "N-no, that's all right. Thank you," he returned. Of course he wouldn't make her name them all, not when she had that many. He wasn't sure he could remember all of the ones she'd mentioned now. Though he supposed he wasn't required to. First Ghost would be easy enough. He gave a self-conscious smile, "It's nice to meet you, ghosts, and you, Screams."

...there was that swell of sound again. Stop being so paranoid! He sighed and wondered what else to ask. He needed to distract himself. "How does one find ghosts?" he asked even as his ears flattened at how pathetic that sounded. He really should stop trying but then he'd have nothing to listen to. Nothing beside the infernal buzz and his own insecure thoughts. Oh if only he had the courage to leave.

User ImageScerams gives this question serious thought. "I'm not really sure. My father talks to bones, but as far as I know not ghosts. That I know, none of my other family can see or hear ghosts. I was getting to that." She says to the side, giving an irritated tail flick. "For me, every time I see someone dead I get a new ghost. Sometimes I see the ghost near the corpse, and others a new one just pops up a little while later." Screams twitches her ear, and seems not to notice - or doesn't care - that a spider is there. The twitch doesn't dislodge it, but after a few more it descends on a bit of silk.

"After the first few I decided to collect them. I spend a large part of my time looking for the dead. Even just bones, if the skeleton is intact enough, will have a ghost." She shifts her hooves, unknowingly crushing the spider that just escaped her ear. "I don't know why they follow me. I've always thought they were just lonely. With me they have someone to talk to. And each other, of course." Screams plops down into a sitting position. "What about you. Do you collect anything? What is it you like to do?" She leaves it at that, not wanting to bombard him with questions all at once. It's very rare she meets Kimeti she's not related to.

Click to show.In the very least, she had the presence of mind to stand with her back against the onslaught as she peered after the escaping insects - though even this might be attributed to a very exasperated eaglehound pushing hard against her unyielding rump as he tried to effect her exit.

"Ah, Pieces!" she brightened at his approach, "there you are! You wouldn't think it, but there are some rather interesting specimens in this swarm - whoever set up this trick doesn't have half-bad taste, as far as insects are concerned."

User Image Bitter Heartbeat wasn't sure he could or would want to do that -- looking for the dead -- but he admired her for it. He imagined with so many ghosts she would always have company. That thought left him a little conflicted. Rather than continue thinking, although it was all he ever seemed to do, he gave his head a shake.

Briefly his eyes trailed over to the other kimeti in the room but the moment his ears heard the word swarm, he was quick to turn his attention back to Screams. He couldn't see ghosts and they had never hurt him. That made them much more welcoming than insects. He shuffled swearing he felt something bite his back. "He talks to bones?" he asked because that seemed rather odd. Did the bones talk back? He wasn't sure he wanted to know.

"Oh, I-I don't collect anything..." ...except doubt and insecurities... he murmured even as he silently finished the sentence in his head. Those weren't the kind of collections she meant and he saw little reason to say such things aloud. The next part made his mind fumble. He liked to listen, he liked to help if he managed to get enough courage to do anything -- he liked not failing in the rare moments it happened. "I like to listen and help when I can..." he ended up saying. That wasn't at all interesting like collecting ghosts.

"Okay," he said dubiously - well, certainly he didn't think it. He eyed the hapless eaglehound and assisted, "then take one last good look and let's go, please? It's overtly buggy in here. I'll be back in a jiffy." Pieces had a plaintive look as the insectoid carpeting grew. It was getting quite squicky; perhaps he should check on the buck that didn't seem quite right.

He wasn't sure why he had such a social impetus, but off he went in the other direction and found the odd buck with a sitting doe. "Oh," he noted, "there're two of you. Uh, are you leaving the room? It is terribly buggy here."

User Image The droop of his ears at his less-than-exciting self was lifted as the buck came upon them. He seemed to find the fact there were two -- more than that according to her -- of them interesting or surprising. The time to consider that was later as he then asked if they were leaving. His ears fell again. How many times was that going to be asked?

Rather than open his mouth, he merely shook his head. He hoped dearly that Screams liked the cave and might stay. At least he'd have a reason then besides cowardice.

User ImageScreams was about to respond to Bitter Heartbeat when another buck came up. She held her thoughts, listening before before speaking. "Oh hello." She shakes her head at his question, picking up Bitter Heartbeat's reluctance to go where the bugs are more dense. "Nah, there's less bugs back here. Leaving means wading through a sea of them, and where would we all be then? Back in the entrance, which will also be 'terribly buggy' as you put it." Which is true, most of the swarm had already left this little patch of the cave. Though, Screams' decision to stay was more for Bitter Heartbeat then herself. Bugs don't bother her much, so long as they aren't the kind that could kill a Kimeti via a sting or bite.

"You can stay, if you want. The cave will clear soon enough." She looks down, at an unheard word from a ghost, then looks around. "And the doe, too. Though she seems to be having more fun with the bugs."

He blinked at the buck's doleful look - well, there were more pressing issues than considering the fellow's motivation for staying when he was so miserable about it. The doe though, was rather more chipper. "Fair enough," he admitted, "though I doubt - or hope - the entrance wouldn't be as buggy as this place still is, what with all the dead ones about too." Privately, Pieces thought that the insects which found their way to the entrance would certainly disperse into the wide swamp, and the earthworms on the floor were still writhing about in the same place; she certainly didn't seem too bothered though, so he nodded pleasantly and said "I think we'll be taking our leave, so um, enjoy yourself?"

A shuffle back to his sister and, combining his force with that of the beleaguered eaglehound, he started to herd her odd self out of the room.

User Image He was extremely grateful to Screams of the Dead then. Any reason was a wonderful thing and hers was much better than his. He attempted smile towards the buck, in politeness, though it seemed to come out more of a grimace. The talk of bugs was niggling his paranoia and he couldn't say he was sad to see either the buck or his sister go, especially the sister as her obvious love of bugs was a little unnerving. A lot unnerving actually.

There would also be more kin out in the entrance and that might have been worse. He wanted to leave and he would, once he didn't think he'd have to shove through a sea of moving bodies. That would more than likely end up with him shoved into another room rather than outside. And he was sure that there were worse rooms than this one. He sighed, he hoped his turtle was all right. "I wonder where he got to..." he mumbled aloud.

User ImageScreams had wandered into her own mind when the second buck mentioned dead bugs. Do I have any bug ghosts? She asked herself, and ran through a mental list of all her companions. Nope, not a single insect in the bunch. She grins and starts off to go search out said deceased bugs. She's only halfway up when Bitter Heartbeat speaks, and with a sigh - and a look of longing at the darkest corners - Screams plops back down. "Where who got to?" Dead bugs can wait, the living might need help.

User Image Brow creased as he tried to remember the last time he'd seen his pet, he looked up at Screams. "My turtle. He's usually there," his speech paused and he turned to gesture towards his hind legs before turning back to the doe, "bumping into me." The slow reptile could not have gotten far. Probably not anyway.

User Image"Turtle.. what color is he?" Screams doesn't stick around, though, she gets up and starts poking her face into every nook and cranny low enough for a turtle to get into. "C'mon, the bugs are gone back here. Maybe that's where your turtle is." She says, shoving her nose into another low opening. Almost immediately Screams is backing up, a new mini swarm of bugs following her snout out. "Or not.. uhh why don't you look over there." She says, nodding toward a bug free patch of ground littered with rocks of varying sizes.

User Image "B-blue...," he started as she moved away. He opened his mouth wide to take in a deep breath and then in a stronger voice shouted after her, "Dark blue!" The phrase echoed around the cave and his eyes widened. That was a louder than he had meant to be.

He made after her, hoof raised to take a step forward, when her wavering voice cut through. Whatever had her directing him to another stop to search -- he didn't want to know. He moved instead toward the patch of stone unlittered by bugs. His mouth went taut. It was a very nice spot but it was quite clear his turtle wasn't there. He lowered his head to peer into the dark, "Turtle, wherever are you?"

In the back of the room, far from Screams and further from Bitter Heartbeat, the missing turtle was hunkered down for a nap. User Image
