With a sigh the sword slipped out of the earth. Aislin rose the blade skyward, lifting it as high as her arm could reach.
And then she collapsed backwards into the grass and just... lay there.

Amrita had heard his comment about working a while...just as she felt the sword dig deeper into the stone.
"...OH JACK I...I'M SO SORRY!" She cried out in dismay, hands near her face palm-out as always. "Y-You worked so hard and it went in further I'm so sorry I-I didn't mean to I promise!" Rambling as she always did when she started to panic, the little Vetala waited for the ghost to try before stepping forward. She had no other choice, she had to try to get it out of the stone now, if only to correct her mistake!

Kallos' eyes widened as the backward-handed ghoul started apologizing to him. "I-it's fine! It's f-fine! I-it did that to me too. D-don't worry, the sword just likes...playing games w-with us, I-I suppose." As she continued to apologize, Kallos wasn't sure if he was supposed to pat her on the back or what. He decided to go with words instead. "D-don't worry, it's fine. I-it's probably still a bit loosened from my attempts, in a-any case." He waved his hands to show her it was alright.
After she attempted to pull it out again, he asked, "M-may I?" and returned to the place in front of the hilt. Gripping it again, the dark-haired haunt actually had a reason to get it out now. If he did, he could show the ghoul that everything was alright. Determination running in his scrawny body, the haunt attempted to pull the sword from the stone.

Amrita and Kallos - The sword seemed to be highly amused with the little exchange between the two. Though, if it had a tongue, it probably would have stuck it out at them right about now.

Kallos saw the sword's eye of a pommelstone gleaming amusedly at the conversation going on around it. Well, that wouldn't stop him from trying, in any case. It was just better at this game than them, that's all. Since the backward-handed ghoul hadn't moved in to try again yet, Kallos decided to attempt it.
Taking hold of the hilt again, the Calligraphy Pen haunt pulled on the sword with all of his nonexistant strength. Wasn't the pen supposed to be mighter than the sword?
Maybe...maybe the trick was to be gentle? He'd have to try that next time, considering that's what worked for the Banshee, in the end. (Well, after she'd jumped on it, of course...)

Kallos - The sword continued to stare at the ghost rather gleefully.

"MEAN games!" Amrita lamented, stepping aside as the ghost attempted once, and then twice. She did catch the glinting hilt and even she could see that the thing was probably laughing at them, deep down. Sighing, she sank to the ground, wrapping her arms around her legs and letting her feet tuck under her bum.
"I don't know." She pouted as best as she could with only half a face. "I..I mean, Jericho is putting them in there..." It was hopeless, hopeless! Jericho was a dragon and strong and powerful and nice and strong and...
After the boil failed again, Amrita finally got to her feet and, after a little stumble, moved back to the sword. "Umm...if you don't mind..." She tried again.

Clearly, the sword was making fun of the two weaklings. The backward-handed ghoul seemed a bit sad at the fact that neither of them were getting anywhere. She mentioned a name, and Kallos paused to look at her for a moment. "Jericho...a-ah he must b-be the dragon boil over there, r-right?" Kallos looked between the dragon, the ghoul, and the sword again.
Yup. Things did not look good for either of their chances. The dragon-boil did look rather strong...
Well, might as well keep attempting it. Kallos took the hilt again as she stepped away from it. This time, he decided to simply give it a little tug. Maybe it would just slide out if they were nicer to it...

Amrita - If the sword had vocal chords right now, it no doubt would be shouting "FOOL!" over and over and over again. The look in its eye conveyed this.
Kallos - The sword decided to not budge at all with this attempt.

"Yes." Amrita confirmed with a nod. "T-That's Jericho...H-He's very nice, but he can sometimes look, um..." She leaned in, cupping a backwards hand against her mouth like it was some huge secret. "Kind of scary. He's very loud." It was a super secret whisper, and she found herself bristling at the sword. There was something about it that just...didn't sit right with her! The little Vetala was frustrated, but wasn't too bad to quit, at least not right now.
"My turn!" Rolling up her invisible sleeves (okay, so one sleeve actually got rolled up for all of three seconds before it fell back down), she tried again.

Apparently, NOT TRYING was not the answer here.
Kallos stared at the sword as it decided to 'laugh' at the ghoul. At least it didn't have a mouth. (Kallos probably would have run away crying if it had one, and a long time ago at that.)
"I-I see. He's...n-nice?" Kallos wouldn't have guessed that, but this ghoul didn't seem too frightening herself. At her quiet whisper, Kallos gave a serious nod. He understood feeling frightened by others' appearances. After all, it was actually extremely easy to scare Kallos himself.
"May I-I?" Now that it was his turn again, Kallos took hold of the hilt with both his hands. It was hard not to get frustrated at the sword (knowing he was going to fail anyway probably helped on this point, though) but he'd managed it so far.
He didn't have another rage power to do anything like what the banshee had done, so he settled for simply gripping the hilt and yanking backwards on it with all of his scrawny, ghostly might.

Although watching the boil and ghoul talking was amusing, Chun decided to leave and go check out the other booths.

Kallos - Again, the sword refused to move any further in the meantime.

Kallos watched as the sword seemed to stare at the ghoul. Taking a deep breath, the ghostly boil stepped up to the sword again, as she hadn't stepped forward yet and he was already standing by the sword anyway from his last attempt.
Maybe the trick was to have confidence? Well, Kallos didn't have that either.
He also didn't have an ounce of strength in his ghostly body. But that wasn't going to stop him. For once, Kallos was determined to get something physical done. At least the sword hadn't slid back down at his last attempt.
Taking hilt in hand once more, the ghostly boil yanked back on the sword, using as much of his ghostly-fail strength as he could. This wimp was determined.

"He's very n-nice!" Amrita was pleased that the stranger didn't laugh at her, taking her seriously was of great importance to her! "He rescued me in Christmastown after this...this REALLY BIG f-f-fire, uhmm-" She had to pause, even the word scared her still! "-beast attacked us!" She made the motions any child would; stretching her arms in a big wide circle over her head, standing awkwardly on her reversed toes.
She leered right back at the sword, what was left of her lips drawing into a thin line, the teeth on the skull exposed half of her face grinding together. "P-perhaps...together...?" She suggested in another serious whisper, like the sword could hear them. When it was safe she grabbed the sword where she could, where she wasn't in the boil's way, and helped pull.
