"Don't be silly, Millie! You know Rob is talking about getting exorcised." Millie's sister chided her with a giggle. "I mean, it's not like big sis Mary's ideas of revenge ever end up good for us! And now that we're dead none of us wanna go through that again."
"Yeah, dying once is one too many times for my comfort." Rob added. He turned to you. "If you have any plans to go against the estate, we won't you. Going against Savants just isn't in the cards anymore."
Of course you had no plans to attack your own home.
"It's funny." The ghost woman next to Rob spoke for the first time. You didn't recognize her, but it was clear she was close to Rob in some way. "When I was alive I thought the Savant living here was a mindless butcherer, like so many Savants before, or a second Grand Machinist that wanted to bring his robotic tyranny to the world. But the fact that this Savant was considerate enough to make a graveyard for mere <span class="mu-i">bandits</span> like us has made me rethink. Was this Savant truly a person that stood in the way of our ideals? Maybe he was misunderstood, like the Bandit King was?"
You barely stop your laughter. Comparing you to the Bandit King? <span class="mu-i">Bandit ideals?</span> What the hell was she going on about? Her arrogance puts you at a loss for words.
"Maybe we're just full of ourselves." Millie's sister giggled again.
"Maddie!" Millie exclaimed.
"Am I wrong?" Maddie replied to her sister, somehow still holding onto her bubbly tone. "We've just recently come to terms with the fact that all our efforts amounted to nothing. We should be grateful to even have blank tombstones."
All of the ghosts present assented to that, some more despondent than others.
Your high perception meant that you could read between the lines and notice how people were feeling; and now you found that these spirits all ultimately accepted Maddie's words regardless of what regrets they had. Unless these guys were extremely good actors or there was some ghost nonsense going on, you doubted they were brewing was any secret plot.
Maybe the Bandit King was their brains, and with him out of the picture they were without direction. Maybe whoever killed the Bandit King had ulterior motives. Maybe you were overthinking things; this was all were pure conjecture on your part.
"Also we're all probably going to hell if we pass on, if you want a more direct answer." Rob said to you. "The Savant Lord probably a person under him that has a mastery over Holy Magic. I might be repeating myself, but none of us are too keen on getting exorcised."
"You underestimate said Savant Lord. He has ownership of more than one holy woman." Yumi said with a defeated laugh, suddenly switching gears from her rambling introduction. "Even an army of spirits wouldn't be enough to defeat him."
"My point exactly." Said Rob.
"Huh." Millie looked at the horsegirl ghost. "Guess this place really is worthy of being called the Bandit's Bane."
"Bandit's Bane?" You repeated.
