[An hour or so after bed, Elicia hears something creak. It's harmless and probably something like a tree scratching something, or a mouse finding its way. But it sparks a barrage of images within this small child's brain that would probably make a therapist shake their heads. Things like floating objects and scary figures and things under her bed oh god. Acute paranoia tonight, this one. So she speaks in a really low whisper as though she's on a secret mission, hidden up to her ears in blanket. Must be a nice windy winter night.]

Um....

Are ghosts real? They aren't, right? But—But I guess good ghosts are okay! Do those count? Are they real either?

[Her eyes dart from one side of the room to the other, and she's totally expecting something scary to happen on one side or the other. Any minute now. No, no, be brave, there's nothing going on. Nothing at aaaaall. ;~;

Gulp.]

Oh! New Feathers are here, too... huh...

I'm Elicia, and I'm six years o—

[rustle rustle]

Meep!

[...And back under the sheets. Yup.]

[ It's not difficult to notice that she's a little scared - Madoka still understands that feeling very well herself, too, so she at least tries to sound a bit reassuring when she speaks up. ]

There's no bad ghosts here at least, I'm sure.

You're sure? But--but what if the malnossos brought some in to scare people while they're trying to sleep!

Then people would probably be talking about it already, right? I haven't heard anyone about it so far, and.. even if there were ghosts here, everyone would want to help you out.

[hmmmm]

Yeah, I guess they would. And if anything did happen, I could just call people and tell them, huh?

Yes, they'll take care of any bad spirit for you for sure. [ a smile. ] So there's no reason at all to worry about it, is there?

I guess not...

But... But if I do see a ghost, what should I do? If no one's here to help?

Um.. maybe you can scare them away!

[ that sounds like a plan to her, at least. ]

Just make sure to put on your scariest face and yell 'boo' at it!

I can? You think they'll really be scared of me?

[I mean, look at me. I'm not very scary...]

As long as you shout 'boo' loud enough, they'll be for sure!

[ she's just trying to be reassuring, really.. ]

...

Alright! I'll be as scary back as I can be! I'll do my best!

Hehe, I believe in you already! Do you maybe want to practice a little first?

Right.... U-um...

[LET'S DO THIS... OKAY--]

[SO SCARY, I AM.]

BOO!!

[ Madoka knows this is at least the part where she should play along, so she gasps. ]

W-wow..! That was already really scary.

[IT WAS SO SCARY!!

...]

Really?

[That's actually surprising to me. 3:^|]

Yeah! [ nodding eagerly, she's just encouraging and reassuring a little girl, okay!! ]

I thought it was really scary, so.. it'll scare them off for sure!

Okay!! I'll do my best.

Thanks a lot!

Hmm, you're welcome. Good luck chasing them off if they do end up there after all!
