[you have acquired a skeleton sextphone are you proud of yourself]

[feytality]

[yes]

[anything else in the grave or...?]

[soulping]

[nothing but us corpses]

[feytality]

[okay bye time to get out and check to see if the phone works]

[soulping]

[it's fairly empty for what a smartphone would have - but there is an app for a flashlight. There is nothing else, though, unless you want to play Flappy Bird.

But it's probably a bad idea to play Flappy Bird in a spoopy graveyard]

[feytality]

[PLAYS FLAPPY BIRD]

[just kidding uses the flashlight app]

[and accidentally shines it in her own face]

Woah--!

[feytality]

[okay now to check out the well with flashlight]

[soulping]

[peering into the well, it's a long . . . long, long way down.

You can faintly hear water lapping against the sides, gentle and calm. But as soon as the light touches it, it begins to get louder, as if something down there is moving around]

[feytality]

[uh]

[TURNS OFF THE LIGHT]

[and backs away]

[soulping]

[you hear thrashing now, and the sound of scraping, faint, but getting louder.

You've awoken whatever was at the bottom of the well, and now it sounds like it's climbing up]

[featherduster]

[ UHHHHHHHH ]

Maya.......?

[feytality]

W-Where's the shovel!

[featherduster]

[ HE'S HOLDING IT?! ]

Right here? What's wrong?

[feytality]

Lemme have it!

[REACHES FOR]

T-There's something coming out of the well!

[featherduster]

[ jfc ]

Shovel dirt on it! They're scared of dirt!

[ IN FACT HE JUST STARTS DOING THAT sry Maya ]

[feytality]

[...THROWS DIRT IN THE WELL?!]

[soulping]

[scratch . . . scratch . . .

SCRATCH SCRATCH SCRATCHSCRATCHSCRATCH—]

[feytality]

[there is now dirt being shoveled into the well]

[just so you know]

G-Go back to sleep!

[is there anything nearby she can use as a weapon?]

[soulping]

[a decaying hand reaches up to grasp the edge of the well, despite the dirt you're throwing in.

Uh oh]

[featherduster]

[ SMACKS THE HAND WITH THE SHOVEL ]

Maya, run!!

[feytality]

Y-You run with me!

[she's going to take off one of her boots and hurl it at the thing if it gets too close to Vash]

[soulping]

[RUDE. Doing that knocks off a finger. It rolls off the edge of the well and comes to a stop just in front of you.

The other hand appears]

[feytality]

[shrieks and kicks finger away]

L-Listen, you body parts! We don't want any trouble, okay! I-I'll let you play this weird birds game if you just cut it out!

[soulping]

[the hands grip the sides as whatever - whoever it is - hauls themselves up. You can make out long, dripping wet black hair]

[featherduster]

[ Aiight

So ]

Screw this.
