[Video] UN: dirtoffyourshoulder

[pipewrenchfights]

[The camera's a little shaky since Allie's holding it in one hand in front of her, sitting in one of the plastic seats in the employment office. Her brow is beetled beneath the brim of her black ball cap, frustration lining the creases in her face.]

Awright, so before I go fillin' out a buncha paperwork, how many people even have cars and bikes that could use a mechanic? 'Cause the models they got here are way fancier and techy than whatever we had rollin' around back home.

[The camera moves again as she props her elbow up on her knee, dropping her chin into her other hand with a frown quirked to one side.]

If this doesn't shake out, I can work some odd jobs if anyone's hirin'. Uhhh...last job was a camera operator, before that I stocked shelves on the graveyard shift. Current job before showin' up here was clearin' out ghosts and stuff, but I don't see that bein' a hot business.

That was during a holiday that's analogous to Halloween. The barrier between the living and spiritual worlds are said to be thinner during that time of year, so it's easier for ghosts to affect the living.

The library, though...it's on the pink moon, yes. People who spend too much time there have been seeing things moving on the scrolls, hearing phantom noises, and people who still don't leave feel compulsions toward mischief. None of it has been dangerous that I've heard of, but it makes research pretty hard.

[pipewrenchfights]

Huh.

[She wonders if that holds true in Portland during Halloween too. Guess she'll find out eventually.]

Guess I can go check that out, then. Can't promise much if it doesn't wanna manifest. Thanks, Gakechi.

The 'G' is short for my given name. It's Goro Akechi.

[pipewrenchfights]

Ohhhhh. Oh, okay. Goro, then.

[She juts a thumb toward her chest.]

Allie. Thanks for the tip.

[foolishjustice]

Thanks to you if you can get whatever's being a nuisance to go somewhere else. There are some really important seeming things there.

[pipewrenchfights]

What kinda stuff? I could just take it out for a while.

[No reason to stick around in a haunted library any longer than necessary.]
