[Poly Entry 14] A ghost among us

[Accidental video:]

[The feed begins in a fairly clustered room, full of books and pieces of equipment scattered about. If one were to observe carefully enough, they would recognize it as Rita's room.

A moment later, there's a sudden turning of the pages of a book and slight shifts of some of the junk on the ground. A prominent indentation made shortly after on the bed, more documents were shuffled and flipped as if someone were looking through it. A small sigh is heard when a light outline of the figure sitting on the bed is slowly revealed as the feed continues to roll. The viewer could now see a mysterious blacked-out figure though one could guess who it may be from the rather distinct sound of his accessories jangling as he turns each page and from the shape of the unique hat on his head.]

[ooc; Sooo Rita was too stubborn to show Klarth the documents she got from the deity's trade until he figures out his own shit so he opted to sneak into her room and take advantage of his ghostliness, except... he's starting to show signs of returning to normal;;;; SO... Rita-freak-out plan is a go! /o/ Post open to all (and feel free to thread hop into what's going on atm or the response will be after Rita finds out it's him) and AP for Rita~ Hope this works for you, Zen~ Let me know if I should change anything~ thanks!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Her heart's finally stopped trying to thump right out of her chest, but her relief is replaced very quickly with anger. She glares daggers in Klarth's general direction--especially at that line about pursuing his interests.]

I don't believe this! You have half a second to explain what the hell you were thinking!

[Yes, half a second. Think fast, Klarth!]

[ That does sound really questionable, Klarth. ]

That doesn't really make you sound good... Why did you need to see her materials?

Ha? [Her sudden outburst, made him raise a brow. Did he say something wrong?]

What are you talking about? That should be rather obvious. If we're to figure out a way from this world, then allocating every resource towards the potential solution is a must. She spoke of illegible documents and I was interested in seeing them.

What kind of excuse is that?

[Okay, she could actually understand it, but--she's too pissed off to care right now, between acting so scared in front of both of them and Klarth turning out to be a closet pervert. More importantly...]

So you thought you'd just sneak into my room when nobody could see you?

[ Oh, that explains it. Tyr is no longer really mad. Just sort of curious. Rita has a point, but... ]

So can you read them?

[Welp, it was worth the try. He just allowed the conversation to roll, more so to avoid Rita's questioning more than anything.]

I was able to recognize certain aspects of the document, but considering the context of the material, I'm unsure of its accuracy. I'll need to go retrieve the one book I was allowed to bring with me to this world.

Hey, don't go changing the subject!

...Wait, did you say you could understand one of them?

[She's cautiously interested. But she hasn't forgotten about the whole sneaking-in-her-room part!]

How much could could you read, though? [ Didn't Rita show him a book changing every other page? ]

That's right. [He walked over to the pile he was looking at picking out the single page. He handed it to Rita.]

Unfortunately, only this one so far but it's a start. There's a possibility that there may be more.

[ooc; Hope this idea is ok. I read your convo with the mod about it being all scrambled and such so I know it's supposed to be really hard to decipher. But I was thinking maybe part of it can even be like Meredy's language and some parts be some other race's language, you know? And that's how she could start to piece things together! If you had some other idea or just not feeling it tho let me know and I could delete this and change his response to fit it so he doesn't get it! Just food for thought~<3]

[She feels uneasy, what with Klarth still being very transparent and all, and snatches the paper in a effort to ignore it.]

Hmph. S-so what did you make out?

[ooc: Yep, no problem! I figured she'd eventually try to get people to translate, so this is a good start~]

[ Tyr can't even see the paper, so he feels a little cheated in this deal. ]

What's it about?

Let's see. [He took a look at it again and began to bits and pieces read it out loud. His voice sounding a bit clearer than before. Some words didn't seem to come out right which he could only assume were terms used in her world.]

Types of... something. From the layout, it looks like a list. Aqu....a, perhaps? Produces clean, pure water... for drinking? Forms or no, models.. Hermit? Efficient in converting... into energy...

[ooc; Awesome~ You're the best! <333]

[She's noticing the change--looks like he's becoming a bit more solid, too, so she stops fretting over Klarth (not that she was!) and concentrates on the words.]

That must be my notes on types of blastia. The first one's an aque blastia and the other...that must be the Hermes model. Are there any others you can read?

[ At least Rita gets it because that sounds like gibberish to him. He stays quiet, listening in, to see if it makes more sense as they go. ]

Ah, I see. [He quickly scanned the other loose papers within that stack but fails to recognize more, shaking his head. With a defeated sigh, he quickly glanced towards the other piles scattered about the room and began to move to look through those as he spoke.]

All right, let me take a look through these. [Though a thought popped into mind. If his language was on this paper then perhaps... He looked towards the device.]

Though what about Tyr? Rita, let him see one of the other papers.

[She resists the reflexive urge to punt him for rifling through her research--remember, Rita, he's just helping! And he has gotten a start.

Tyr? Oh, right--she remembers he's there on the video still.] S-sure, why not?

[Grabbing a random pile of papers, she starts flipping through them on the video. Maybe he'll recognize something?]

[ Oh, he gets a turn? He moves the device to a better angle and looks closely. Hmm... ]

... I... sort of recognise some of it... I don't know anything about what blasias and... those things are, though...

[Just as he suspected. A smile grew on Klarth's face to the news though he had the same exact thought as Tyr. It was going to be some challenge not knowing what any of it pertains to. Like reading an ancient scripture of a lost technology, but nonetheless it wasn't anything impossible to decipher with a little (or a lot of) effort. He spoke with excitement heard in his voice.]

Recognition is good. The missing parts Rita will have to piece together as we go along, but at least there's a lead. However, first, we should take note of which characters belong to which language. Are there any...

[As he scrambled to look for a blank piece of paper and something to write with, his shoes and hands began to appear more visible than before, none of which Klarth was aware of, being the only one seeing the same old hands and feet as he always had.]

You just have to let me know what words you can read. I'll take care of the rest. Hm...formulas might be a problem, though.

[She reaches into a pile of junk and finds two pencils, one to hand to Klarth. He gets a curious look thrown his way as well.]

Hey, whatever happened to you looks like it's finally over. Did you find something?

[ Tyr nods. At least they're not expecting too much out of him when it comes to reading the notes.

But now he's more interested in Klarth coming back. ]

I guess we won't need to search for your body now...

[He smiles and went to take the pencil when he raises his brow to Rita looking at him with curiosity as well as hearing the two comments. What? He glanced down at his hands and then back up. He nervously begins to laugh softly.]

Am I... fully visible? [A slight excitement heard in his voice as he hesitates to ask. Was he really... back to normal?] Both of you can truly see me?

You can't tell? We can definitely see you. You're getting more solid by the looks of it.

[She's kinda happy for Klarth--he gets to be back to normal! Wait, does this mean she was reading those damn ghost stories for nothing?]

[ Tyr nods. ] So you can't sneak into girls' rooms anymore.

[A miracle. No no no, he can't think of it that way. A cruel trick played by the deities was more like it. What trouble they've caused him. Though just to make sure, he placed his hand onto a nearest book expecting to pass through it when he felt the firm surface against his palm and smiled. He ran his fingers over the texture of the cover and gave it a tap. How great that felt.]

[And then Tyr had to ruin the moment.]
