I'm so sorry...but I had to

[chalicejoker]

[There's a high, childlike voice on the Network. One who hasn't been on there before. He can hear everyone now! It's so great!]

Boo!

[Problem is, he can't talk to anyone.]

Boo!

Boo!

Boo!

Comments

[morethanashadow]

Uh... Ryo? What's up?

[chalicejoker]

Boo!

Boo!

[morethanashadow]

[............well now he's concerned.]

...Boo?

[chalicejoker]

Boo!

[And then Hajime cuts in.]

He won't stop. I don't think he can.

[There's a pause.]

I also didn't think he could get on the network...

[photonicfighter]

...Ryo!

Are... are you trying to startle us?

[She's more than a little startled already, thank you, she has a panicky fluffy chicken on her hands.]

[chalicejoker]

Boo!

Boo!

Boo!

[Can't stop, won't stop.]

[whatspringislike]

Cut it out!!

[chalicejoker]

Boo!

Boo!

Boo!

Boo!

[It seems as though he's done, but, after a bit of a pause, there's another...]

BOO!

[whatspringislike]

STOP! Why are you doing this?

[chalicejoker]

Boo!

Boo!

[Sorry, he'd like to stop, but he can't. It is very sad, but he would like to be friends!]

[triggerhappytraitor]

Yelling won't help.

He's been affected by something.

[[Worried? Who? Him? very much so]]

[whatspringislike]

... Something that makes him repeat 'boo' in everyone's minds?

[He's skeptical, but mostly because he's new to Traveling and hasn't yet seen just how ridiculous it can get.]

[triggerhappytraitor]

He's Hajime's spirit companion. Normally he can speak the same as everyone. [[Childishly, but still basically the same]]

I'm sure he was hoping that borrowing Hajime's ability to use the network would allow him to be understood again.

[dino_zarf]

Boo!

[Two can play at that game. And clearly it's a game.]

[whatspringislike]

This gets really complicated...

[triggerhappytraitor]

Yeah.

You get used to it.

[chalicejoker]

Boo!

[This is nice, someone expressing Boo solidarity.]

[chalicejoker]

Boo!

[Thanks, Uncle!]

[morethanashadow]

...Well that's not good.

The not stopping, not the network. [That might wind up being annoying but he likes Ryo so.]

[chalicejoker]

It's like he has the hiccups.

[As Ryo randomly interjects in the background with Boo! Boo!]

[morethanashadow]

[awwww poor bug child.]

What's going on?

[chalicejoker]

He can't--

Boo!

--talk, just--

Boo!

--boos. Like that.

[morethanashadow]

Yeah, but why?

[chalicejoker]

I have no idea. It just...he kind of freaked out after we defeated that big monster-thing--

Boo!

--and then he's been doing this ever since.

[morethanashadow]

....Maybe I should go check on Chara.
