<p>Well there you are. I was wondering if our system worked as it should.

<p>Anyway. We have great news. We managed to find one of the wraiths hiding in the game room. Apparently, they seem to be the gambling kind.</p>

<p>Well, you heard them, right? Guess we better figure out what game it is, and try to beat them at their own tricks. 10 of us...well...that should go well, if Lady Luck is on our side...after all...seems like a gambler would mostly enjoy luck games, right?

Had to wait until I could play again. woot!

Random eh? Let's see...

How cool! You won 1,702sP! Want to know some cool ways to earn more?

Damn. I didn't get enough. :I

xD Well, can't win them all!

Hopefully we'll be 10 soon enough mwahah~

(thanks anon!)

Finally!

Just got the same message as above! It takes me quite a while to read these messages without going cross-eyed. >.>

Whether we win or you do, know that I like your hat!

I hope you had a great night! Us...not so much. So much digging in archives and old tomes, and it was a little cramped. But, I think we got something about that artifact!

The Crystal Ball of Neh'Ope, blah blah blah, was created...mages...powerful...usually host to mischievous spirits

Wow! That was close! We almost got in a pickle there, did we....Wait. Where did the artifact go?

The cursed crystal ball is rolling on Ludovic's desk, waiting for the perfect moment to crash on the ground to achieve a maximum level of surprise. Once the archivist turns around, the ball rolls, rolls, rolls to the edge of the office and f a l l s d o w n !!!

Ｙｏｕ．．．ｙｏｕ ｔｈｏｕｇｈｔ ｔｒａｐｐｉｎｇ ｕｓ ｉｎ ｔｈａｔ ｃｒｙｓｔａｌ ｐｒｉｓｏｎ ｗａｓ ｅｎｏｕｇｈ ｔｏ ｂｉｎｄ ｕｓ ｆｏｒｅｖｅｒ？ Ｗｅｌｌ ｎｏｗ， ｗｅ ａｒｅ ｆｒｅｅ． Ａｌｌ ｏｆ ｕｓ． Ｗｅ ｓｈｏｕｌｄ ｂｅ ｄｅｓｔｒｏｙｉｎｇ ｙｏｕ ｆｏｒ ｐｕｎｉｓｈｉｎｇ ｕｓ ｉｎ ｔｈｅ ｆｉｒｓｔ ｐｌａｃｅ．．．ｂｕｔ ｆｉｒｓｔ， ｗｅ ｈａｖｅ ｔｏ ｓｔｒｅｔｃｈ ｏｕｒ ｌｅｇｓ．．．ｏｒ ｗｈａｔ ｉｓ ｌｅｆｔ ｏｆ ｔｈｅｍ． Ｎｏｔ ｌｉｋｅ ｙｏｕ ｃｏｕｌｄ ｆｉｎｄ ｕｓ ａｌｌ ｉｎ ｔｈｅ ｆｉｒｓｔ ｐｌａｃｅ．

With these words, the spirit vanishes, leaving a flabberghasted Ludovic about how that could have happened.

Morostide, right. Of course these guys are attracted by the prankster energies in that event. How did I not see this coming.

The good thing is...I think they were corporeal enough for my camera to catch them. So, I at least have an idea where they could be. For now. I suppose that since I'm the one who messed up, I need to go and track them...and get in check with Dresden and Ridley to see if they cannot fiddle with a paranormal detector. Then again, with your mutants and zombies, I'm not sure if it will work as well on Subeta as it can work on Aeternali.

Uh oh!

Well there you are. I was wondering if our system worked as it should. I'm unsure if we've met, actually. My name is Ridley, and I work on the spaceship as well. I'm the one who reworked these tracking devices.

Anyway. We have great news. We managed to find one of the wraiths hiding in the game room. Apparently, they seem to be the gambling kind.

And who wouldn't be a gambling man when you got nothing to lose. I'm already dead, so don't need to worry for shylocks or anything! It's like, all or nothing, except I can only win it all!

Listen up. I've been racking the money at the one dice game where you can win either money or items. It's an old game, almost as old as your planet itself. You can only play it once in a while, though.

If you can beat my score of 2 456SP, maybe we can settle a deal about...me coming back from where I came from. We'll just hope luck is on your side.

So...if ten people can manage to beat me, I'll surrender like the nice little ghoul I am. If not, well...better luck next time!

Well, you heard them, right? Guess we better figure out what game it is, and try to beat them at their own tricks. 10 of us...well...that should go well, if Lady Luck is on our side...after all...seems like a gambler would mostly enjoy luck games, right?

Interesting!

Also, thank you very much for all of the gifts, especially those WL pants! <3

Did it!

How cool! You won 5,199sP!

OI! sorry, been too enthusiastic &;bout these thingamajigs and stuff!
you&;re a subetan, right? you helped us a while back, trying to escape from corrupt police forces and stuff and...wow, that&;s a lot of things to explain, &;ctually.
pretty much, i&;m an alien. aeternali, to be precise! name&;s lina. lina erat. and i am the captain of a AWESOME spaceship,</p>
<p>so like i said, you subetan people helped us out of a pickle a while back. a big pickle. so, we wanted to thank you with one of these silly trick-or-treat activities we saw on the wikipedias.</p>
<p>sadly, we didn&;t get much time to be shopping costumes, so all we got is old stuff from your masquerade we didn&;t use. we went all out.</p>
<p>so, have one of our spare masks for now. just feel free to trick-or-treat us whenever....i mean, i have a pretty big crew, so i can&;t assure that whoever will answer is not going to lob eggs at you
or toilet paper</p>
<p>subetan culture is really great!

Ooh, thank you so much, Lina! .D. I hope you'll have mighty fun trick-or-treating!

Success!

Edit:

"The dice were rigged"... :)

Hi! I&;m Laurence and I&;m more than honored to meet you. Wish it had been under more fortunate circumstances, but we cannot have it all, apparently.</p>
<p>At least, we have sweets. Cotton candy is one of these things that goes well with everything. Except meat, but I suppose it&;s an acquired taste. What do you think? :)

Honored to meet you, too, Laurence! :D Hhhmmm... not sure I'd ever be able to like meat with cotton candy, but I'll surely enjoy this pop as it is!

<p>Hello again, people. I&;m pretty sure Ridley told you what was happening. Wraiths. Trespassing. That&;s not fine by me. Don&;t they know how aeternali law works? No dumb spirits allowed on our spaceships.</p>
<p>Right. I&;m Robin Balmoral. Legal advisor on ship, and apparently jack-of-all-trades when my natural skills are not needed.</p>
<p>Apparently, and I&;m saying apparently, there was another wraith spotted on Atebus. I know you&;re not quite done with the one found in the game room, but apparently, wraiths have no politeness for continuity.</p>
<p></p>
<p>EEK EEK EEK. Well loooook at dat! You might have cornered me, sure, but don&;t you think I am going to go down without a battle! A battle of wits, that is!</p>
<p>See, if I&;m on this silly rock of a moon of yours, it&;s because of rumors.</p>
<p>Rumors involving eight sisters, living underground, powerless alone, but extremely potent together.</p>
<p>You can find their lair protected by the watchful eye of a goddess, and only a true elder can harness their power</p>
<p>If...let&;s say, eight of you can bring me one of these sisters, maybe I&;ll reconsider my troublemaking. Remember, one each. And, they better be different! What am I supposed to do with eight of the same!</p>
<p>Well, would you listen to that. Does it ever make sense to you? Because it sure doesn&;t make sense to me. And I&;m a lawyer, gibberish is in my genetic code. Guess you better just go and get them what she wants.

At first I thought of the muses...but then I discovered there's 9 of them.

Hm.. I didn't get anything about a wraith in the game room?

Edit: Oh, now I got the one in the gaming room :D It seems like I'm not good at gambling, I got a snowball.

<p>Well, ain&;t you a clever one! I like dat, actually.</p>

<p>I...suppose I can entrust you with some of <em>my</em> personal collection. They&;re not cursed...or anything, really...;)
