 Pie seems okay. You know, you are pretty hungry.  Hold on the author is adding color because they’re bored with sketches.  GALE: You know, I wouldn’t mind some food. I’m pretty famished. What kind of pie is it? ? ? ?: Oh, apple! I do love a good apple pie. GALE: That’s pretty sweet. Um… What was your name again? ? ? ?: My name is…  RHEA: Rhea. You look up to see the woman standing in the doorway with an unsettling grin on her face. Her lanky, gaunt form outheights your own and while it seemed to be entrancing before, now it’s just frightening. You stand there paralyzed. From the inside of her room you can hear… groaning? Moaning? It almost sounds like… the sound of the souls of the damned, clawing at their prison looking to escape. You gulp down your fear. No. That’s probably not it. You’re just being stupid. You take a step inside. It’s… Deceptively normal. Luxurious even. The room is leagues better than your own, furnished to the nines with lavish green furniture. But something is off. In the middle of the room is a crystal ball, and you feel yourself step back. A face, pushing itself up against the glass. Fists pounding up against the barrier between you and the ball, multiple of them, screaming, moaning. You want to run. RHEA: Oh, I see you eyeing my crystal ball. That’s where I keep the spirits. GALE: The spirits? RHEA: Yes. I look to them for guidance. You want to respond but you can feel a presence over your shoulder.  ? ? ?: Boo. |

Don't make any sudden movements. This person's vision may be based on movement.

It turns out your neighbor's really cool, woah!!!
Just act natural, let this stranger scare you, it's fine. This is how friendship works, right?

Deploy pocket sand. Commence evasive maneuvers.

Flip out so hard that you break an arm.

GALE: Boo… who? You feel yourself cry a little. If you had less control over yourself you would have freaked out and broken your arm or something! Luckily, you have the willpower not to do that. Maybe.  ? ? ?: … Whatever the thing is stares at you with blank eyes, a bit of disbelief written on their shadow like face.  ? ? ?: Rhea, who did you bring to our house? And why are they such a moron? RHEA: Come now, Braize, that’s no way to treat a guest. BRAIZE: I can’t believe you gave someone as pitiful as this the light of day. Look at them, they’re sobbing just from a light joke. RHEA: Braize. Your idea of a light joke is humiliation and verbal assault. BRAIZE: All humor is derived from pain. Staring at this, you can’t even believe your eyes. This woman, Rhea, is talking to this thing as if they’re friends. She’s smiling, even, her eyes crinkled up in a chuckle. But there is an astounding level of power in her voice, and you can tell that this being is holding back more scathing words in front of her. He stares at you with a disapproving sneer, and floats behind her. BRAIZE: So who exactly did the cat drag in? What’s their name? RHEA: Gale. Our new neighbor. BRAIZE: Huh. That’s rare. No one usually comes to this apartment complex. How exactly did they get here, huh? I bet they got into some shit, stooping this low to join this circus of freaks. Rhea gives the shadow a look. He shrinks back and floats further away from her. She gives him a pleasant smile and he, terrified, grins back.

explain to Braize that his knock knock jokes aren't great and that he might need more material that involves less humiliation. do this while crying more, maybe it will make him feel uncomfortable. it'll be like your own special joke seeing as he thinks pain is funny.

GALE: You know, that wasn't very funny! You should find a different genre of comedy! Like... Like watch John Mulaney for inspiration or something! Sheesh!
RHEA: Yeah, you tell him, Gale!
GALE: Your knock knock joke was awful! It wasn't even a knock knock joke! It was so unfunny that the inventor of knock knock jokes themself is weeping in their grave!
You point at him accusingly as he just sits and stares at you from behind the Pie Table (trademark). His shadowy form blinks once, then twice, then three times as if in disbelief. He then lets out a wry laugh.
BRAIZE: So like. Is this how you talk to every demon you meet?
