[ Ring ring, Yoshika. ]

[where_wicked_things_are]

[ It takes her a while to get to this— ] ...oh, it stopped making noise.

[wickedthiswaycomes]

Oh, good, I thought I would have to teach you to learn how to use this!

[where_wicked_things_are]

[ !! ] Lady Seiga? You're in there??

[ Some faint scratching and shuffling as she grips it better and forces her elbow to bend, bringing the odd device to her fact.

Seiga can't tell it's upside-down, but maybe for the fact her voice wasn't as loud as it should be. ] I got lessons from the ghooost!

[wickedthiswaycomes]

[ Just. Ignores that question. ] Yoshika where are you?

[where_wicked_things_are]

Uhh, I found a graveyard. It's not ours though.

[wickedthiswaycomes]

So you found one? Good, good... I'll be right there.

[where_wicked_things_are]

Okaaay! [ And she will be standing by! ]

[wickedthiswaycomes]

[ Doop doop comin' through a portal! It's easy to get from point A to B in the world when really the surface of he earth is just one giant wall. ] Found you~

[where_wicked_things_are]

Lady Seiga~! [ She can totally say your name now that you're here and no one else is around, right? Right! She looks none the worse for wear, if you ignore the anti-fire seal on her forehead and the burned-and-torn muddy left sleeve of her red jacket. ]

[wickedthiswaycomes]

[ Are you ready for a slap? Because Seiga is going to back hand her right now. ]

[where_wicked_things_are]

[ —that was certainly unexpected. Her head snaps to the side with the force of that hit, and she just sort of stands like that for a long moment. There's only one reason for it. ] ...did I do something bad?

[wickedthiswaycomes]

[ She draws back her hand. ] You told someone that you could not say my name.

[where_wicked_things_are]

But I didn't say your name? [ So what is the problem Seiga? She doesn't get it. ]

[wickedthiswaycomes]

You revealed the order to someone! Think, Yoshika, what that means.

[where_wicked_things_are]

[ You just asked Yoshika to think.

Hope you're prepared to wait a while.

This takes so long that the ruined sleeve slips the rest of the way off of her arm and onto the ground. ] Ummmm..... that they wanted to meet you?

[wickedthiswaycomes]

[ Just have another punch to the face at that. ] Sometimes you really are useless.

[where_wicked_things_are]

[ Good thing she's resilient! Yet one wonders why she reacts to corporal punishment so effectively when she knows no pain nor fear. ] I did... it wrong, again?

[wickedthiswaycomes]

You did. [ She crosses her arms underneath her chest. ] What matters now is if those we know here will tell others who you serve.

[where_wicked_things_are]

[ Yoshika straightens up her head in an almost mechanical manner. ] You mean the ghost and the other lady?

[wickedthiswaycomes]

--! There was another besides the ghost?

[where_wicked_things_are]

Uh-huh! She gave me this. [ Crossing her eyes, Yoshika tips her head back and looks up at the charm on her forehead. ] Mononononobe. [ Oops, she stuttered. ]

[wickedthiswaycomes]

[ ... ] Ah. Her.

[ She seems relieved at that. ] Well, if you do not know by now, I don't want you to reveal that your master told you to not say her name to anyone else from now on.

[where_wicked_things_are]

Okaaay! I understand it this time. [ And she does. But there was something else she had to report. ]

Oh! I burned the scared crows like you asked me to. There were a lot of them and they jumped really fast!

[wickedthiswaycomes]

Mm, I did see that already-- [ Oh look, she already seems to be in a better mood. ] through the rising smoke, of course.

[where_wicked_things_are]

Of course you did. Lady Seiga knows everything! [ No, Yoshika, just waaaay more than you do. ]

[wickedthiswaycomes]

But. What I want to know now is if you I can trust you not to reveal anything else.

[where_wicked_things_are]

Reveal what else? [ Because that was a really open-ended promise to make. ]

[wickedthiswaycomes]

Oh, things like rumors of me being called 'wicked'.

[where_wicked_things_are]

Why would I say thaaat? [ Because it's totally untrue! She's always nice to Yoshika, when she deserves it. ]

[wickedthiswaycomes]

Hm, it's noting you would actually say. [ It's just Yoshika being a zombie and Seiga being the one controlling her would give enough of an impression. ]

[where_wicked_things_are]

...I'm confused. [ Nothing new about that. ]

[wickedthiswaycomes]

Isn't it? Maa, so long as you don't tell anyone you've been ordered to keep silent that you've been given an order, all is well.

[where_wicked_things_are]

I can do that!

[wickedthiswaycomes]

Very good, Yoshika~ [ Head pat! ]

[where_wicked_things_are]

[ Yay, head pats! She is the best zombie. It is her. ]

[wickedthiswaycomes]

[ Aaaand after that, Seiga will be on her way. ]
