Subject: Telling a legit spooky scary tale that turns into a shit post
CW: Small reference of ghosts eating people

I was not aware that a special holiday known as Halloween was coming up! To celebrate, I figured I should tell you one spooky tale from my world.

Have you ever heard of a story called A Hungry Ghost? They are spirits that linger into our world should they have done any terrible crimes when they're alive. Due to their greed, whether it is money or for something else, they are never satisficed. What a pity as their poor souls could not move into the afterlife. They venture in search of food. Makes me wonder just how long it'll be before they go after people too...

Although, should you want more spooky tales from Liyue? Feel free to let me know as I do wish to tell people a little bit more about my world! Nothing like getting into a spooky mood, no?

Golly, wow. How incredibly racist and misinformed about ghosts. I've never met one who I'd call greedy.

Napstablook and Mettaton would definitely deserve apologies from you.

[localweirdo]

Ah, that wasn't my intention.

I was merely discussing a tale of my world. Although, I wasn't aware that anyone would be upset about such a thing.

[your_best_friend]

You really should study up on different cultures. Ghosts... no, ALL monsters should be treated with respect. and here you go, saying they're nothing but terrible criminals.

I expected a lot better from you humans!

[localweirdo]

Then tell me, how are monsters treated back home in your world? I'm afraid I'm only familiar with how they are in my world.

Care to tell me a little bit more?

I would love to hear more spooky tales from Liyue. I’m very curious to hear what kinds of spooky tales from other cultures and worlds.

[localweirdo]

Anything specific you want? I have ghosts, vampire, zombies, and vampires from back home!

[senorita_perfecta]

Oh, oh, how about zombies? Zombies seem to be a great kind of creatures to have stories on.

[localweirdo]

[There was a moment of silence as she wondered what to say. Hmm....]

I suppose the better word for a Liyue zombie is more about related to what people in Mondstadt or Fontaine think of as a vampire. Pale skin, reanimated corpse, feed the life spirit of the living to stay alive....

What other stories you got? That one wasn't all that spooky...

[localweirdo]

Is that so?

Then tell me, how spooky do you want it to get? I have stories of ghosts, demons, vampires, and zombies. I wouldn't want to scare you.

[belheir]

Give me your best shot.

[ He doubts anything could beat being stuck in the lock down... ]

[localweirdo]

Would the idea of a Fu Gui scare you? Knowing that there is a spirit who lives inside your stomach and causing you extreme pain? And there is nothing you can do as you have no idea what is going on?

That was more sad than spooky! But also if someone does terrible things, it kinda makes sense!

I don't think I have any spooky stories so reading more from tyour world would be fun!

[localweirdo]

A lot of horror stories back home are mostly cautionary tales of what happens should I do bad things. When one does, their spirit or body turns into a monster of sorts...

Then shall I tell you a story about Mog Wai? I'm assuming you might have stories about demons eating souls to gain immortality?

[donfire]

that's pretty cool.

Please do! and nope, no demons in my world.

[localweirdo]

Oh?

Then what kind of scary stories do you have from your world? Care to tell me?

[mwehehe]

They'd be enemies of oseichu from my world... or just at odds. Σ(-᷅_-᷄๑) I wonder which would win.

The oseichu is a boil on your stomach that turns into a face and demands food... but it'll starve you too. Wonder how that'd work with a ghost.

[localweirdo]

Oohhhh, I never heard of that before.

Perhaps they might start a war? To see who could take over the human race and who will come out on top? How interesting!

[mwehehe]

One would starve first... it'd be a race to see which!

You got anymore spooky stories from your world? Japan has PLENTY of yokai I can tell you about, we can swap some stories.

That would never happen under my watch. During the Age of Gods, my Gallû Spirits could be dispatched to the surface to take the souls refusing to pass onto the Underworld.

The God who rules over death in your world is clearly failing at their responsibility and should be chastised for their failure.

[localweirdo]

[And look who it is!!]

Alas, I'm afraid I do not know the God of Death in my world. For all I know, there might not even be one as there are various spirits that roam my world. And thus, why there are various stories about them!

However, that's why I'm here to help them go into the after world sometimes!

[queenofkur]

It is all the more reasons for you to be proud of your work.

Perhaps you could consider taking over your local underworld to prevent such stories from every occurring again.

I would have thought that this holiday would find favor in your eyes.

Though if you speak of ghosts here, you might create them.

[localweirdo]

And here, I was wondering when you would speak to me! I've been waiting for you for quite sometime!

But yes, I am aware that I could. Although, I wonder if a lot of people here would be terrified at the thought of seeing a few...

[whirlwindthrust]

I don't recall you ever being the type to wait for anything

On the topic of ghosts... I think that the nightmare creatures here are more terrifying than anything you could conjure.
