Sheevie's Haunted Mansion

[Kade Rivok]

Ok, well... *Points down a random, spooky looking corridor.*  Let's go that way!

[Ebantu the Kararehe]

*surreptitiously places paw on dagger hilt* If you say so.

[Kade Rivok]

*Begins walking down said corridor.*  You know daggers don't work on ghosts, right?

[Ebantu the Kararehe]

I don't believe in ghosts. I believe in steel, though.

[Kade Rivok]

Then what are you scared of?

[Ebantu the Kararehe]

*glances sidelong at Kade* Why do you want to know?

[Kade Rivok]

No no, not like that.  I meant, you're grasping your dagger, so something has you scared.  If not ghosts, then what?

[Ebantu the Kararehe]

Nothing. But it doesn't hurt to be prepared.

[Kade Rivok]

Prepared for what?  That thing behind you?  *Points to something behind Eb.*

[Ebantu the Kararehe]

*freezes in place* Kade, please tell me you're just messing around.

[Kade Rivok]

Um... *Keeps looking at the thing behind Eb.* ...yyyyyyyeaaaah, I'm, uh, I'm just messing around.

[Ebantu the Kararehe]

*closes eyes* Tell me what it is.

[Kade Rivok]

*Keeps looking at the thing behind Eb.*  It's a, uh.. it's a... puppy!  Yeah, it's just a... a puppy....
...
...
Don't turn around to confirm that, by the by.

[Ebantu the Kararehe]

*my tail resembles a bottlebrush by this time* Somehow I don't believe you. But I guess a puppy is better than a cockroach. *shudders*

[Kade Rivok]

Yeah... yeah... ok, so just slowly walk towards me and don't turn around to look at the "puppy".
