"Heeey, you've reached Yang! Well, actually, you didn't reach far enough, 'cause I'm not here right now! But don't yang up! Just leave a message on this baby, and I'll get back to you soon enough, okay?"

Look, just-- ignore them. We'll get to the bottom of this.

[ RAPIDLY... ]

[undaunts]

But they're so creepy...

[...]

What are we gonna do?

[flaredo]

Lock them somewhere?

[ Well, it's a start. ]

[undaunts]

Naoki and I tried that.

[SIGH.]

It didn't work, they just popped up again.

[flaredo]

Breaking them?

[ When in doubt, VANDALIZE. ]

[undaunts]

But what if they're haunted? What if they're ghost houses and then the ghosts will be mad because we broke their houses and then they haunt us?

[flaredo]

... Haven't we already dealt with ghosts before? I mean, we could take 'em, probably.

[undaunts]

...

It's scarier like this.

[When they don't know what they look like.

It'll probably be fine as soon as she has an opponent to actually fight.]

[flaredo]

... Okay, look-- we don't know they're haunted...

Possessed, maybe?

[undaunts]

By...... what, exactly?

[????

all she's coming up with here is "ghosts".]

[flaredo]

... Non-ghosts?

[ She has no idea. ]

feeling great

[flaredo]

feeling sick?
need me to bring anything over

[undaunts]

...Yeaaaaah okay so it's ghosts.

[You can't fool her!!!]

[flaredo]

Isn't this way too subtle to be ghosts? They normally haunt us just fine on their own!

[undaunts]

So then you think the masks are just... alive?

...Is that better or worse?

[flaredo]

... Maybe it's about even.

[ But you can kill living things?? ]

[cryptologic]

no I'm not sick
just

no I don't need anything

[flaredo]

[ ... ]

ok whats wrong

[cryptologic]

I don't want to talk about it.

[undaunts]

...Creepy.

I just don't like how they're always watching us.

Except I guess they don't have eyes but still.

[flaredo]

ok so
what about not talking about it over ice cream

[flaredo]

You know, I wonder... if we tied a scarf or something over their eye... holes, maybe that'd make them stop following us.

[ Probably not, but it'd be funny if they bonked into the walls. ]

[cryptologic]

[ Oh, geez...she just had to suggest ice cream, of all things.

(Guess who worked at an ice cream parlor.) ]

Definitely not ice cream.

[flaredo]

[ DIPPER SHE CAN'T HELP YOU IF YOU DON'T TELL HER YOUR NOT!GIRLFRIEND HAD AN ICE CREAM INVESTMENT-- ]

pizza? burgers? cookies?
those really spicy chips that burn for hours?
