[ HE HAS A LOT OF GOOD REASONS TO SAY FUCK NOW, TO BE FAIR ]

He doesn't have to, but we don't know that, right? Let's go try again.

[ They can keep sliding the planchette to "hello" and nobody will pick up again because it's been too soon, but they can try ]

[goldpeony]

Already?!

[He does, yeah.]

You know you aren't supposed to pester spirits! They're trying to find peace and rest! If you bother them, they'll become resentful and turn into ghosts, and they will be more trouble than they're worth!

[kazokun]

People have been bothering them all day. Maybe the raccoon fed you lies because you pissed it off?

[ And then paintings get changed and forks start moving around and they really are being haunted ]

[goldpeony]

Tch! Of course, it's my fault! It's always my fault! Why don't you go talk to one of them by yourself then?!

[kazokun]

Because you're not supposed to, it's in the rules.

[ Maybe the raccoon lied because you broke the rules!! ]

[goldpeony]

I did it by myself, and I'm fine! [STOP. The raccoon probably lied because he's ROCKET and an ASSHOLE.] Fine! Hurry up already!

[Go inside. Just try it. Maybe it's Jin Ling's turn to get locked out.]

[kazokun]

[ Fine. He'll try it and he's not going to come out for hours because it's not going to work. ]

[goldpeony]

[Well, unlike SOMEONE, the second Jin Ling bounces off the barrier, he throws a hissy fit.] What th--?! Not again! [IS THIS WHAT HAPPENED TO AYABE BEFORE?]

AYABE!

[kazokun]

[ Ayabe turns around and makes this face. But, very reluctantly, he does say ]

Come in.

[goldpeony]

...?!

[There's a pause, just of him blinking owlishly.] That isn't funny! I-- [Wow, the room lets him in. He gapes when he steps through with his arms up to the other side. WOW, HE REALLY HATES THIS PLACE.

He lets out a prideful huff and starts marching.]

[kazokun]

[ Ayabe follows after to pick up the Ouija board again, but ]

...Have people not been letting you in?

[ WHY DID HE ACT SO SURPRISED god, other people had better be nice to Jin Ling while I'm busy not doing that ]

[goldpeony]

[No one is nice to Jin Ling, just like Card.]

What are you talking about? We're inside. Why do I have to be let in?!

[He's firs to pick a spot for himself on one side.]

[kazokun]

[ ANNA YOU HAVE TO BE NICE TO HIM ]

Inside the room. It's more "in" than inside the house.

[ Ayabe takes a seat across from him, seiza and with their knees touching like how it says in the rules. ]

[goldpeony]

[Looks at the break-in. Looks back at you. There's still death day.]

That doesn't make any sense. [Why do their knees have to touch, ouija?! Leave room for Jesus! Fine, their knees touch.] Why would you have to let me in? This isn't your house!

Is that why you didn't follow me earlier? [Wait.] Is that why you were passed out on the floor?!

[kazokun]

[ Not doing what Dana did counts as being nice. ]

Don't be so noisy, the spirits can hear you.

[ He picks up the planchette and holds it out to Jin Ling. They also have to touch this together, while he blatantly ignores all those questions. ]

[goldpeony]

[STOP.

He can't say he doesn't think this is true because he's very use to a culture that deals in spirits through cultivation. Stupid. So he sort of just makes a face and shuts up--for maybe like ten seconds while Ayabe hands him the planchette.

He yoinks it to bring it back down to the board. Don't ignore his questions, asshole.]

So you did.

[kazokun]

[ He makes sure their fingertips are touching on the planchette, and continues ignoring Jin Ling's questions while he slides the marker over to HELLO. ]

Jade Eighty? It's Ayabe and Ling. Are you there?

[goldpeony]

[His brows drop. He actually pauses to listen and wait, but after a few moments when nothing happens, he hisses,]

Why are you trying to talk to the same one?! Maybe you can only talk to that one once!

[kazokun]

Because I trust her more than the raccoon! I don't know any of the other ghost's names... And her name is Jade Eighty, not "that one." Be polite.

[ Nothing continues to happen, though. ]

[goldpeony]

Why? That’s stupid. [He’s still talking in a hissing whisper.] She can lie just as easily as any of the others!

[Smarmy, he starts sliding the planchette to the letters.]

J A D E
E I G H T Y
S H O W
Y O U R S E L F
N O W

[kazokun]

[ After the planchette stops moving, Ayabe waits with bated breath for it to move again, maybe to the "no" or maybe to spell out something else.

But, nope. Nothing happens. ]

I doubt she'll come now, after you called her a liar.

[goldpeony]

[He also waits silently because he doesn’t know if it will work. Alas.]

So what! Try someone else then like you should have in the first place!

[kazokun]

[ He and Jade Eighty had sort of held hands and now they'll never get to be friends because Jin Ling ruined this for him /: ]

Fine. Who else is there... [ He tries to think down his list of names but he only remembers one of them. ]

Risette, can you hear me? [ If not her, then ] Nia? Stefano?

[goldpeony]

[Can't believe Ayabe and Jade are out here being heterosexual in secret.]

Who? [he asks in a hissed whisper. There's a pause as he asks for Nia, Stefano.] Don't call him out here. What a freak! Has anyone spoken to those of us who have died yet? How do you know you can talk to them?!

[kazokun]

[ yeah ]

He just seems like somebody who would have something to say, okay? Jade Eighty said that Asch and everybody are over there and that they're fine, so I'm sure they would pick up if they're around.
