>'T-Tree stump? N-No, too obvious, t-too obvious! In the water? N-No, I'd get the papers wet!...A-And it's gross too.... I-I'd act like a statue, b-but...wait, no, no I'm horrible at mimicry! MY SKILL LEVEL ISN'T SO VERY HIGH!'"H-Haunty, come out!"
"Haaaauuuuuunt!~~"
The poisonous Ghost-type appears out of a Dusk Ball, cackling joyfully. However, his caws are put to quick rest by Anina, "N-No, shh, shh! Don't laugh, t-this isn't funny, Haunty!"
"Haunt haunt?"
"S-Shh....Desdemona and the others...I-I kinda stole something from them-DON'TTELL!"
Haunter scratches his head in a bout of confusion, "Haaaaunt?" he doesn't really see Anina as the kind of girl that would commit betrayal or treason.
"I-I know, it was bad, it was wrong--it was very wrong and bad! H-Haha, oh god, if they me-us, if they find us, we're done for! Yes, you too! THEY'LL SKIN US ALIVE! I-I already have two strikes, o-one for summon abusing a-and another for that Christmas party incident..."
"Haunt, Haunter, haunt!"
Anina drags a hand across her clammy forehead, wiping away a layer of sweat from her face, "D-Don't tell anybody! Just quick, um, use....erm, ahh, use some 'ghosty move'! T-Take me into the shadows with you, t-they won't find us that way!"
Haunter nods with a hint of stark loyalty. He takes Anina into his grip, and then summons a dark portal of supernatural energy, he submerges both him and her into the portal, temporarily locking them into a realm of shadows and edginess.
