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?

[Ooh, an opportunity to attempt to guilt trip some more? Flowey will take it!]

They were all locked into a prison, trapped, inside a mountain, for thousands of years. They forgot what the sun looks like. They forgot what the night sky looked like.

Most of them had even forgotten what humans looked like. All humans gave them during their thousands of years were discarded trash.

Makes me wonder what the reasoning was behind all of this. Or rather, I wonder why they would do that when the monsters seem to be reasonable.

[Or at least, that's what she assumes based on who this person was telling her.]

The humans feared the monsters for what they thought they could potentially do. They started a war against them. There wasn't a single human casualty.

[localweirdo]

That is indeed a shame that some humans think that way. But at the same time, I do hope that there are at least a few who don't.

Up until the day that the monsters were free, there weren't. They even callously slaughtered the prince of the monsters!

[localweirdo]

Well, if that's the case?

Perhaps I shouldn't be so harsh on such creatures. Although, I think that most people here wouldn't do such a thing.

[your_best_friend]

That's a start. As for you, you better be more conscious of the stories you tell.

[Hmm. Flowey can be a lot more harsh. It'd be amusing, but... It really doesn't seem to benefit him aside from minor amusement...]

Then shall I tell you a story of someone who added some hot chilis in some food? And the scary part is that nobody knows who did it? Would that be better?
