Please wait while I'm chosing the songs.
(On the Last session of play,...)
And so, the doctor came up, saying he let his nurse droid take care of everything, while they deal with the ghost upside. The ranger asked for a special medical adhesive to stay awake. The boy kept awake, trying to read a book which decides for itself what you want to read. Strange noises and ghostly mists were happening all the time, and the ranger continuously asked the boy to find it fast how they can deal with the monster.
Then, in the middle of the night, while the doctor was holding his Pk on his right hand, they saw her.
By the corridor, they all sensed danger on the place. A pale ghost of an eleven years old girl, stoped by the passage, looking like a dangerous weird figure.

(The Village of Uke - Part 2)
Kappko is known for his dedicated time to online gaming, and debuging of game code. He never gained money for that, actually. He do that for pleasure. This way, he's the one person on the village of Uke who knows more computing than everyone else.
Today is a different day.
He just can't stay on the cooking pod and pretend nothing's happening.
So, he keeps the Pk screen opened, down the balcony. He's trying to hack the cameras on the Doctor's house, so as this may be criminal, no one should see it. Every now and then, he codes something, and see what happens, but the only camera he could get was the front door camera, until then the images come. A very common house, from inside, nothing unusual unless you think the Ranger Boolwec is holding his gun, looking fearsome, and pointing in every direction, all the time.
"Think, Kappko. Think", he repeated to himself in silence.
Years ago, he revisited an old game board on the media, in which there was a very old game named Tales of Supernatural, with real information from phenomenology and pseudo-magicians lore. There was a level in which you needed to deal with a creature ghost, a "Haunter". It made the wall bleed. The game, now two centuries old, is no more a success, but it was on it's age.
Then, thinking about what happened, the man with no blood, blood on the walls, and seeing the Ranger acting as being "haunted", he thought it was a nice information. He found the board on the media, and copied the text so sent to the Doctor, who he sees on the camera is holding his Pk and analyzing data, at the same time he sees the spirit really assuming physical form in the corridor.
As the spirit Haunter appears, the image blurs and statics.
"They'll not have the time to read", he thought.
(The Haunter by the Corridor)
Doctor Pellsèg looked at his Pk and saw the data on how to confront a Haunter.
But the haunter's now looking at them, by the corridor.
Strange sounds of squelching come from the walls, and the ten or eleven years old ghost look at them, with the chin a little low, and dark circles on her eyes. The boy looked at the Doctor's screen on the air, saw the word Haunter on there, and thought fast.
This way, Dundièn Loi shouted.
- Shoot her! - and the ranger very fast shoot the ghost.
As more fast as the ranger, the spirit haunter jumped, and while a green white ooze come from her, she got the ranger's mouth, and entered his throat down.
- Aahh-rr-eeeeenn,... (says the possessed ranger),...
- Get out of his body! - cried Loi.
- Why? He's just shoot me,... you've been bad to mee,....
- We didn't mean to - tried the boy again.
- You didn't mean to? You just shouted him to shoot me! I know what to do,...
And she, armed with a gun, gives a direct hit on the ranger's foot.
The sound is listened by the small village's central square, but somehow no one noticed. Kappko was the only person to gives it the attention needed. He stoped what he was doing, an egg bacon sandwish with spicy sauce, to look to the screen down the balcony.
The student Loi jumped over the ranger, and as he's not in control of himself, the haunter's not so well trained as him to make anything. He imobilized his body. Trying to fight for freedom, while doctor Pellsèg put him to sleep with a dose of medicine he keeps ready for people in shock.
- I don't know what happened, Loi - says the doctor - This just appeared on my Pk. It's a serious instruction on how to deal with this kind of ghost.
- Let me see it - the boy got the screen on the air, and he had an idea.
Loi got the databank from the dead noble, and put the password "Haunter".
It opened, with no more words.
The databank shows that in fact the noble was not a noble, but he was really rich. He was interested in phenomenology lore, and he was investigating the Case. Some years ago, a small girl saved her best friend girl from a fire, but the other girl have not do the same in a moment later, she runned, and the small girl, eleven, died in the fire on that building, on the North Realms.
- Did he had family, doctor?
- The normal data on his Pk says he had a daughter. She died.
- That's it. I'm sure of it - and he types it.
And the second password was in fact "Daughter".
- What do we have in there, Loi? - the doctor was taking care of Kue the ranger's hurt foot.
- It's no good. Wow. This haunter is centuries old - resumes the boy - It happen to life again and again, everytime a little girl dies the same way and so. And I've got her to my dreams, somehow,...
The waitress, on her couch, gave a loud hiccough, crying.
- It says here 302 people had already died to this haunter, a number of,...
- Hwóoah-rr-eeheee,... - they look to the ranger's body.
So, the haunter found a way to speak.
- I wanted to keep those people from dying, doctor, but that's all done. She's waking. Be prepared, doctor, he's not himself. It's the haunter.
- Yooou wanted not those people to die,...
- I didn't. Hhm,... how may I call you?
- So, these people shoudn't have to die?
- Some people should die, but it's not our choice who would or wouldn't.
- You don't know suffering and despair,... and YOU are my target number one, now. I shall give you suffering and despair enough to change your mind,... I've passed too much time with him,... and he'll wake in fire.
- Wait! - shouted Loi, but it was too late.
So, the haunter got out off the ranger's body, by his mouth.
And the ranger awakens while his body, they tied him to the chair, was in fire.

- AAAaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh,.....
Then, the ghost assumed the first pair of paws and prepared.
- Do something! - shouted the doctor.
While the doctor tried to get the gun, a paw almost drilled him through.
Music :: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzNbzyM_nDE
He jumped on the ground, and rolled over to run away from the paw, which tried to attack him. He's an old guy, thought the boy, and I have no other options.
The boy Loi immedaitely opened his Grimoire, and thought of a way to put off the fire. Closed. And opened again, to read and do the magic, he didn't know how to do it, but he had no choice.
- Hláhklammo Hu! - he shouted the words on the Book.
Immedaitely, the whole second floor became all water, and the water kept them from breathing. A huge sensation of "I'm going to die" assaulted them.
And so, the water materialyzed pure and starts to brake the house walls.
Kappko started to run, feeling they'd all die - he saw the gun being thrown down the stairs. He shouted "Someone turn off mah grill!", while running.
He crossed the central square of Uke running fast.
This time, everyone noticed.
Meanwhile, they stood breathless, underwater, but the fire extinguished.
- Quick! - Kappko shouted to the doctor's droid - The 'ouse's going to come down! Get the doctor's most 'mportant things off now!
While the droid was thinking about it, he rushed upstairs.
- Stop now, girl! I know your story! - shouted Kappko, but he was not successful on his bluff, and the spirit looks at him as the next target.
The spirit girl's laughing.
Now with the ranger's gun he got on the stairs, he so shoots the haunter. Once. Twice. She was already in the haunter form of four paws, two arms and legs in the air. He knows it's her time to attack, but the bullets went in slow motion inside the strange water conjured. They hitted. And so, all the walls start to come down, the water goes through the windows, the whole house is ruined.
Only the stairway stays intact, and Kappko hides the ranger's gun.
(The Haunter disappears)
Everyone on the Uke village went to see what was happening.
Music :: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctjKV-IbG78
Doctor Prasséc Pellsèg's house came down. They see the droid coming out with a huge box of bioplastic, and the cookman Kappko coming from the stairway, the only part of the house still intact.
- Help! Help, everyone! Call 'mergency now! - shouted Kappko, coming down.
While everyone called emergency, he started to look for Dundièn Loi the boy, the doctor, and the ranger Kue, and he found Loi in the sideyard.
- Loi! I hited it, but then i'all came down - says Kappko.
- My grimoire? - the boy asked in total despair.
- I don't know. Let's find the oth'rs. They can be down the wreck'ge.
- That's a mad dog coming - and Loi stands up the faster he could to run away from the neighbor's four fronted legs dog, a black menace barking at them, and while Kappko went to the street, Loi went the backyard.
It was there, by the side of Boolwec Kue's still living body.
Pretending to see if he's still breathing, he didn't know how he managed to do it, but he got his Grimoire and hides it inside the ranger's dreams.
The two polizie officers, the ranger's men, get off the small polizie place.
Soon, everyone's helping with the wreckage and rescue.
Minutes later, the emergency came. Ranger Kue, with a strange skin condition, was the first to be taken to a special ambulance, and as soon as the surgeon comes, the city was safe - it was everyone's thought - but Loi knows now the haunter's missing, they won only the first battle.
Loi fainted, but was put to rest in a room on the polizie place, and some time later he woke up.
- Stay there, lying, boy - says a man.
Music :: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pmXZxOJWFA
He decides to get off his body, breathe a few times, and saw the square at night.
Then, he sees two firemen talking and gets closer to listen.
- ,... so it's probably a haunter.
- That's bad. Who's the boy, who show the strange aura?
- He's a local, chief. The trace is his, so somehow he's an arcanist.
- I bet he doesn't know what he was doing.
- That's for sure, chief, but he saved the day in here.
- Which class is the haunter?
- It's a Class Two. I know, i know. It's really rare, but we cannot deal with this right now, chief. Those missing in the other city are much more important now.
- I know. The media's on the case. How much time we have, until the next manifestation?
- A month, maybe.
- Let's take care of Case Missing, and so we come back in a month.
- Yes, Chief. I'll say it the other agents.
But then, Loi was called back to his mind by a man.
- Hey, boy! - the man raises his voice.
- Oh, oke. What is it?
- You looks like you're in shock. But you're not hurt. Go home, now. The officer's going your home tomorrow to get your testimony.
- I want to talk with the surgeon,... sir.
- The ranger's oke. Happy for everyone, the cookman's smell sense is the best in town. He saved the day, we already know everything, but still you're coming tomorrow for testimony, oke?
- Hhm,... yes, sir.
A neighbor was outside to take Loi his home.
His father was waiting for Loi.
(Day 4, Saturday)
Loi woke, and while he has time to do it, he decides to make the only ritual he knows. To enter the Dream plane, and get his grimoire back.
When he got back, the Book just disapeared.
So, he was really shocked, when he done his testimony this morning.
The polizie officer considered his testimony as halucinations. Better this way, he just thought. And so, as each one had given a halucination testimony, they all had to make some dangerous virus tests, but soon they all were home again, but the sensation of the haunter presence didn't disappeared.
Kappko, who got the deadman's Pk, investigates it.
Seen the data, he knows now the girl haunter's name is probably Ayalwa. She's more than 200 years old, what makes a haunter much much stronger.
- Kappko, I guess the girl's just a memory.
(Day 5, Sunday - at Kappko's Sandwisherie)
- I'm not so sure, Loi. It looks she's not `ere anymore, or else, she's waiting.
- We need to get prepared. She will come back. I've gone the Castle today, in astral form, and the spirit of the woman which lives in there says she'll help us, because a haunter is just the oposite of a free spirit. It's a spirit of regret, and she got angry with the presence of the haunter. The orange lake almost cured me of the hurt, but the man yesterday, he just called me back somehow, and I had no time to dure myself.
- You say those men were talkin` about c`ming back in a month, hoe?
- Yes. It means they know what happened.
- Yoe, boy. It means another thin', too. It means the sp'rit'll come bac' to haunt and kill us. Study yoa'r book to see what we're goona do, pawn.
- You have my word, Kappko.
They talk on the only moment the grill had a moment of rest.
- Why the officers just asked nonsense to us, Kappko?
- They mus'be under magic, pawn. You saw the 'mergency men talkin'.
- Who are they? How can they know what happened there?
- They work fo' da Gov, Loi. 'tis a secret. They erase people's mind, and hides da truth. 'tis said they kill those who know too much, yeah. Belie'me, boy.
- Dunno, Kappko. But we better get prepared.
- Yeah, u're oke, we goona prepare, and kick 'em outa Uke - says the cookman.
- They're going to come back - concludes Dundièn Loi.
Nothing more happened, the day following.
(At The Region of Ruins, Tol Rim)
A huge and strong vision, in which a number of commons try dealing with a Haunter. He sees it's a Class Two spirit of regret, probably 200 years old.
He also feel their fear in dealing with the unknown.
And so, Borttom got back to himself.
Takket was drinking his tea, and with much care, he spoke.
- A vision, Borttom?
- Crap. This I ain't liked. Going outside, smoke a ciggar. We talk later.
- I know the feeling, Borttom.
And this way, Takket had the feeling again.
A feeling that it all is planed, but as they say in the Mythology.
Mortal's are the choices.
