Scene: Planning to Confront a New Supernatural Threat
Momo Ayase:
(Leaning on the table, arms crossed)
"Alright, listen up. There’s something weird going on near the old shrine, and I’m not letting another spirit ruin my day. Everyone, be ready."
Okarun (Ken Takakura):
(Sitting nervously, adjusting his glasses)
"Uh, Momo, are we sure it’s not, you know, aliens this time? I mean, the shrine could be a landing site…"
Momo:
(Exasperated, points at Okarun)
"Aliens don’t haunt shrines, Okarun! Focus on the ghost part, alright?"
Kinta Sakata:
(Leaning back, munching on chips)
"Yeah, yeah, ghosts, aliens, whatever. As long as I don’t get slimed again, I’m good. Seriously, that was gross."
Aira Shiratori:
(Rolling her eyes, arms akimbo)
"Maybe if you actually tried fighting instead of screaming like a baby, you wouldn’t get slimed, Kinta."
Kinta:
(Sits up, defensive)
"Excuse me?! I was strategically retreating! There’s a difference!"
Vamola:
(Staring blankly, tilting her head)
"…Strategic… scream? What is strategy scream?"
(She practices a loud, awkward scream, startling everyone.)
Granny Ayase:
(Chuckling from her seat)
"Kid’s got a point, though. Sometimes a good scream is a strategy. Keeps the ghosts on their toes… if they’ve got toes."
Jiji (Manjiro Kito):
(Softly, trying to bring the focus back)
"We should figure out what we’re dealing with first. Is it a spirit, an alien, or… something else?"
Momo:
(Grins, slapping Jiji on the back)
"That’s why you’re the brains, Jiji! Let’s split up and gather info. Vamola, you’re with me."
Vamola:
(Nods eagerly, raising a small alien device)
"Vamola ready. Smash ghost?"
Okarun:
(Shrinking into his chair)
"Uh, I think we should talk to the ghost before we, uh… smash anything…"
Turbo Granny:
(Leaping onto the table with a cackle)
"Bah! Smash, talk, whatever! Just make sure you don’t bore it to death before it curses you again, you dweebs!"
Momo:
(Slapping Turbo Granny off the table)
"Alright, enough chit-chat! Let’s move!"
