action; 10/22

[Perhaps the worst thing about John getting a house of his own (well half his own, anyway) is the fact that it means he doesn't have to rely as much on PC storage to house his ridiculous menagerie of 'mons. One would think that this isn't such a bad ting, actually, at least until they remembered that about half of John's roster is comprised of ghosts. And given the holiday season...]

[Yeah, he's just letting ALL the fuckers wander around and do as they please. Well...save for Giant who has no choice but to stay outside because he's just too damn big to fit in the house. (He totally taps on the upstairs windows sometimes though if he wants some company, what a sweet Golurk.)]

[Most of them are content enough to stay outside and "haunt" the yard-wide graveyard that John and Aradia set up. Imhotep the Cofagrigus is notably one of these very ghosts. But not today. Or at least, not all of today.]

[It starts that morning, while Dave is eating whatever it is he's eating for breakfast. Through the window, he might just spot Imhotep outside. And for a moment, it might look as though the ghost is looking right at him with something of a spine-tingling expression. But only just a moment, so maybe Dave was imagining things? Who really knows but the coffinmon is certainly just playing harmlessly now with one of John's Lampents.]

[Throughout the day however, it almost seems as though Imhotep is actually following Dave. Whenever Dave looks out the window? Imhotep is fucking there. Sometimes looking at the boy and other times just there doing nothing but minding his own business. But still just there. And at some point after noon, he actually comes in the house for a bit. He never seems to do anything sinister though he's still just...you know, there. In the background. Wherever Dave is.]

[At least until Dave returns to his room, at whatever point that may be, and finds the Cofagrigus floating just behind his door. Not close enough to get whacked by it, but close enough to be completely and utterly terrifying to someone who isn't expecting to find a 5'7" sarcophagus inside their room.]

[But before Dave has much of a chance to react, the sarcophagus springs open and what is quite possibly the most terrifying mummy in existence pops out, hands raised above its head.]


BOO!!!

[No, okay it's actually John wrapped up in toilet paper. J/k about the terrifying thing.]
