[Naoki probably could push the current limits of the network, but he's not going to, so it's a text stream that pushes through to the ghostvestigators.]

This is Naoki. Which side of things did I get a hold of? I have... maybe fifteen minutes to talk to you guys.

Hi, Naoki! You're talking to the ghosts! Raidou's with us now! He got hit by a train! I possessed a puppy and got on the internet, which is almost as good as TV! But Uncle Matthew is mad.

[leftbehindagain]

...I see. [Poor Raidou, really.] Why's he mad?

We're on a desert planet with a bunch of baby dragons. You'd probably like it, but knowing you you're enjoying being a ghost.

[happyhalloween]

Because I told people how I died.

[And then what Naoki says really registers and back in ghostland, her eyes grow wide.]

Baby dragons!!! Really??? Can you bring one back for me?!?!?!

[leftbehindagain]

...well, to be fair, you probably could have handled it better, but unless someone turns up what's being billed as a fictional account you should be okay. [Neither of them's wrong, exactly.]

I don't know, Maria-chan. These dragons latch onto certain people that they like, and there's no way to make that happen. I also don't think it can be transferred to someone else later.

[happyhalloween]

Uu. It already is. People wrote a bunch of stories about what they think happened during the last family conference.

... what if you brought me an egg?

[leftbehindagain]

Maybe they'll just assume you're a big fan, then.

I don't know if I'll have a chance. They hatch pretty quickly. And what happens if it hatches and doesn't like you and doesn't have anywhere else to go?

[happyhalloween]

Oh no.

[Poor baby dragon. Maybe Maria should go to the walkabout? Only she was needed here. But she really wanted to play with baby dragons.]

[leftbehindagain]

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people do come back with dragons, so you'll probably still get to meet some no matter what.

[happyhalloween]

Good. I wanna make dragon friends.

[leftbehindagain]

I don't think you'll miss your chance for that entirely, Maria-chan.

[happyhalloween]

I hope not! When we're all back in liminal, you and Kanji have to introduce me to all the dragons you know!
