[... That's so boring. Like, she gets it, because she does that too when she's hunting down demons, but. It's boring!!]

... How're we going to do that? It's not like we've got a convenient set of pamphlets about the history of this ship, or something.

[... One of the staff sheepishly hands over a convenient pamphlet about the history of the ship.

Ringo squints.]

Iiii stand corrected.

Aahh, but it's nice, isn't it? Usually when I have to do research, it means poring through old newspapers and historical documents ... Thank you.

[ That's to the staff as he accepts the pamphlet.

Don't mind him shuffling to walk a little closer to you so he can use your hair as a light source, Ringo. ]

Let's see ... "the site of a tragic accident where on its maiden voyage, a misplaced metal cable ripped across the deck, gruesomely bisecting every passenger present." Oh dear.

[She doesn't mind. At least it's useful.]

Whoa. Gnarly.

[Bisecting every passenger...]

... Hey, isn't that a little improbable? Surely some of them were too short. Or like, below deck?

But that's the nature of these legends, isn't it, Miss Ringo? After all, if the story went, 'a misplaced cable ripped across the deck, gruesomely bisecting every passenger present who happened to be standing in the right location and stood at over five feet tall,' it wouldn't roll off the tongue as nicely, would it?

[ Inside, he's sighing. Amateur hour ... stories this exaggerated are too ludicrous to be believable. This place is never going to make it big as a famous haunted spot. ]

I suppose we should head towards this deck in question, then, if we wish to see these ghosts.

Riiight, of course. What was I thinking?

[It's said in perfectly good humor, at least.]

Onward, to the ghosts!

[To the deck! This involves climbing a ~spooky~ ladder up from the belowdeck area they were first let into, but they can see a bit better once they're out. No longer is Ringo needed as a nightlight.]

[ Rest assured Ringo, if you're wearing a skirt when they have to climb a ladder, Rom will waits for you to fully finish climbing and step onto the deck above before he climbs it himself ... no risk of pantyshots here.

He does give a little whistle as he climbs up himself, though. ]

Oh? This is quite the view up here ...

[ Yes, he will let his voice trail off ambiguously just for you, Ringo. This is where he has to pretend all the ghosts are, after all. ]

[Uh huh.......

Ringo grins at Rom, and then she acts. Badly.]

Oh. Uh. Felt a chill just now. Very... uh. Spooky! Spooky scary!

[ ... you know what. That's so charming that he's going to roll with it. Rom blinks, then promptly gives a dramatic sweep of the arm. ]

Yes, incredible! As expected of a Devil Summoner, you already have a knack for sending the presence of spirits! [ Please give him points for his showmanship. ] Now, do be careful not to be overwhelmed as we draw closer to them.

[She's a really, really bad actress. Stilted, awkward, completely robotic sounding when she's usually so human-like, but.

Man, she's trying. Probably. She's probably trying.]

W... wow! I'll... try! I'm pretty scared though. You'll protect me, right, Rom?
