<-- Previous Episode

I could just blink once, and then I found myself in a totally different place. In here it's dark, and gloomy, and full of ghosts.

I think I know ghosts and spirits quite well by now. I mean, my job is exorcising them on request! And what I know for sure is that interacting with the world as an ethereal shadow of oneself is boring as heck.

I need to go back asap, I can't spend any more time in such a deadly boring place!

Nah, this won't do it.

Wait, maybe I can swim away!

What, being reborn!?!?! No way, I don't want to be turned into a crying baby again! I can't even stand children, no way I can become one!

I have to find another way, there is no way they'll convince me to be born again!

If just I could find a way to go back home, I still have that ambrosia back home...

------------------------------------------------------------

I wandered, and wandered, and wandered, until I found a bar.

"What, you want to leave? To go where? Why don't you take some coffee, instead?"

This coffee really tastes like thin air, it has to be another bad joke from the Reaper...

It needs to be, all this is becoming so utterly ridiculous...

And, of course, they had to show up too. How dare they, after all they did to me?

"You really can't leave me alone, can you? What's your problem!?"

Uhm? Me, the problem? That's enough, there is no way to reason with them at all!

I'll need to find another solution, even if this means searching every inch of this ugly place...

*scared raccoon noises*

------------------------------------------------------

So I wandered, and wandered, and wandered again, until meeting with some quite weird guys.

Well, any place would do it at this point, how could it become worse?

"The coffee tastes horrible when you have ethereal taste buds, we need to develop a ghost-coffee too..."

Bah, it's just a boring ranting ghost. Is this some kind of anonymous ghost meeting?

The speaker is not wrong, though; even this coffee really is terrible.

"Sorry, does any of you know how to go back?"

"You mean being reborn?"

"No, I—"

"So you plan on moving on? That's brave!"

"What!? No, I just want my old body and life back! It's all the Reaper's fault, they're stalking me!"

I don't know why, but instead of helping me, they just rolled their eyes and left. Ghosts don't seem that different from other people after all, they also refuse to listen to what I say!

This is all so maddening!

I need to find some other ghosts, for sure someone has to know something!

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

"No way, Kitty!"

"I can't believe it! How can you be here too?"

*Raccoon noises explaining she bit the Reaper's cloak and travelled with them*

"Whatever, I'm so glad you're here too! I know, I'm all transparent now... But I'll find a way to get back to our home!"

No one in here can tell me a conventional way to return to my life?

Fine, this just means I will start to resort to unconventional ways instead! Who knows, can I communicate with him from here? Uhm, desperate times call for desperate measures, after all...

END OF THE EPISODE

"Dangerous Cow Plants spotted in Strangerville, soon the authorities—"

"What, cow plants? It sounds dangerous... Who knows what it looks like, though."

"Uhm."

The TV news always talks about so many disasters, it makes me so anxious when watching it... But, actually, what if it was just a government conspiracy to make us afraid of our own shadows? C'mon, cows aren't that dangerous, and a plant looking a bit like a cow can't be any worse than that. Right?

Five minutes later

"Hey, Betsy, thank you! Is this a present for me? He— Hey don't eat me!"

No no no no no, not that stalker of the Grim Reaper again! Where are they, are they spying on me? What may they be plotting this time? I won't let them get my soul!

"Kate, Dave, you have to help me!"

"We told you already, our names are..."

"I don't have time for this! The Reaper is after me, they won't let me alone!"

"Timmy, what's happening?"

Great, the sad secret agent! For sure, he can do something to help me!

"It's the Reaper, they are after me! I need a restrictive measure against them, they're fixated with me since when I refused to date them!"

"You... What? Do you believe in the Grim Reaper?"

How useless, they don't even know who the Reaper is...

Then, I'm afraid I'll need to find a solution by myself.

"Listen to this, Kitty, I have a genius plan this time!"

"Uhm."

"The Reaper and that other stalker of Father Winter made me learn how to cook Ambrosia some time ago, right? So I just need to prepare some and keep it in the freezer! It's brilliant, for sure it will work great!"
