Here For The BOOS & GHOULS

 — “ Guess we’re here to answer some questions? ”

“ Yup! So, ask away. Promise Dabi and I will play nice~. ”

He did recognize her instantly; that was the tree lady who had completely and utterly wrecked his van, almost killed Mystery, and whom Vivi had completely obliterated with a bat. He was shocked to see her… well, alive.

His expression shifted to a frown as he crossed his arms, looking her up and down. He could put the puzzle pieces together now; the blood, the clothes. Oh, no.

“ Do you… Have to be evil? ”  He asks then. “ I can see you’ve… come back, right, regenerated. Like you did before, during that fight. Didn’t know you could regenerate from… Practically nothing. ”  He pauses and tilts his head at her. 

“ You were after Mystery. Now, you’re killing people out here in these woods. Listen, there’s gotta be some other way for you to survive, right? Do you really need the… well. Do you need to kill people to survive? ”

Why was he talking to her so calmly? Well, he knew he couldn’t just leave her be out here. She was murdering people; that, at the minimum, needed to stop. But Arthur was a kind-hearted soul, often much too kind-hearted, and he believed everyone deserved more than one chance. Perhaps she could survive peacefully? Even after all she’d done- yes, Arthur believed she deserved another chance. Perhaps at a peaceful life, this time.

✿ “… Evil? You think I’m evil?” There’s a growl to her voice, and had she been strong enough to stand on her own, Arthur might not have lived to regret that. Luckily for him, she can only stand there glare at him, and looks certainly can’t kill.

“Tell me… why is anyone else’s life more important than my own? Why should I wither away and die simply to preserve another’s life?” She brushes a lock of hair out of her face, huffing. For her entire life, she’s been told that who and what she is is evil, but… if her need for blood is anyone’s fault, it’s Mystery’s. She’d be doing the world a favor by offing him.

“... Okay, fair. Evil is harsh. All life is important. But, all life is equal, too. Your life is no more valuable than the lives of those you’ve taken, and their lives were no more valuable than yours. There isn’t a.. hierarchy of value when it comes to life.” 

“Annnnd that includes Mystery. His life is just as important as yours, too. No one deserves to die just so others can live. But, in that same aspect, no one deserves to die just because they need certain things to survive.”

He sighs, seeming to hesitate before looking back at her, and tilting his head. 

“ Haha, hey!!! ”

The mechanic happily wrapped his arms around the ghost, returning the happy hug, and eagerly nuzzling him in return. Oh, he had so dearly missed him. He wouldn’t mind being held like this for awhile- or, y’know, forever to be honest.

There was a happy sigh from the specter as he pulled the blonde closer into the hug and enjoying having him nestled in his arms again. It felt like ages since he saw the mechanic and just having him around again made him feel so much better. His colors shimmering softly to reflect his happiness at the situation.

“So, what have you been up to? I take it you’ve been busy.”

“ I’ve been - ”

Ooh, it would be so easy to just say okay. It came naturally at this point. But were things okay? He was always working himself to the bone, hardly getting any sleep, and this hug was literally making him want to cry because it was comforting him so much. 

It was nearly 10 o’clock at night when the Mystery Gang’s van parked at an empty lot, in a town about 45 minutes from their hometown. Vivi had insisted they come immediately, even though it was late. She’d finished reading up on a few strange happenings there- and when the gang received a mysterious email, that originated from this location, she’d wasted no time in rounding everyone up to head out. Once they arrived, Vivi was the first from the van, eagerly glancing around. Arthur was hesitant, and quite frightened. His email was the one the strange message had been sent to after all. 

“ — I really don’t understand why we couldn’t have waited until tomorrow to come here, Vi. It’s creepy and dark and I don’t have a good feeling at all. ”

He didn’t want to make Arthur nervous…there had been enough trauma, for one night.

“I hope you don’t mind if I carry your anchor again.” Mystery said as he shook out his fur. It always felt good to stretch. “I don’t think you want to hike through these particular woods…”

It felt good to have this over with; to have the fear of what his brother might say behind him. Nearly ten years of anxiety was just gone in one good cry, and it felt great…but still, this had been the last thing he’d expected to happen when he’d leapt out of hiding to confront an angry spirit earlier in the night.

It still left him feeling a little shell-shocked.

The second orange spirit - one with sharper spines that stood more upright - nuzzled their way under Arthur’s metal hand, jealous of the affection their sibling was receiving. The third (really the first) orange spirit nosed curiously at Lewis’ hand, hoping for the same. Lewis smiled, and gently scratched the spirit behind its floppy spines.

“These guys are pretty cute.” He commented. “They yours?”

These spirits weren’t fire-based, so being submerged wasn’t as harmful to them as it would be for Lewis.
