When everyone was sick... the ghosts were gone, right? Do you think they were taking a break? [she has been spending a bit of time in the kitchen this afternoon, and when a ghost drifts past it makes her wonder]

They're always really busy. [cleaning, taking care of the castle. Speaking of cleaning, she notices there's a small pile of dishes in the sink (after all, there must be some people who just leave their dishes without cleaning them). So, she'll bring her journal along just in case anyone replies, and she'll head over to the sink!]

Do you think they'd like it if sometimes people helped them clean?

[inspired by this idea, she's going to be doing ULTRA CLEANING!!!!! Not only does it take her mind off of... other thoughts that she's been stewing in for a while, it's a chance to be helpful. After doing the dishes she gets some rags, cleaning materials, and starts tidying up the whole kitchen. So! Feel free to come in at any point in the cleaning spree :3 Or, of course, you can reply over the journal if you'd like!]

I think that's a brilliant idea!

[adorbs]

R-Really? [she sounds encouraged by someone else supporting the idea]

Mm! Then I'll try to clean the kitchen for them.

[courageous_wit]

I only hope more people take the example. If we all pitched in, the ghosts wouldn't have to work nearly as hard.

/dictated for now?

[he's still up in the chapel, making sure that things are as they should be after Caterina and Tres' departure - that any candles that burned away have been replaced in the sconces, that there's no dust on any of the statues or carvings ... et cetera]

Don't see how it'd hurt, at the least. Y'know what they say about idle hands.

sounds good to me!

[adorbs]

W-What do people say about idle hands? [she has not heard this phrase]

[spiritusaequitas]

"Idle hands do th' devil's work". It's from th' Bible.

[What did you think about the jello, Nanako? Would you like to clean up the jello?]

[adorbs]

[I FORGOT ABOUT THE JELLO, haha, okay, halfway throuogh her cleaning she notices that the fridge is full of... ... ... Jello?]

W-Why is there so much jello?

[squartatore]

If we picked up after ourselves, maybe the ghosts wouldn't go on unannounced leave at inopportune times. [A GIRL CAN HOPE. It's not like the ghosts did anything wrong except have terrible timing]

[adorbs]

Yeah! Because then we'll be more like friends, and maybe we can get to know them.

[squartatore]

Not sure about that. The ghosts don't seem distinguishable from each other. They're all so...generic.

People should learn to clean up after themselves.

Hi, Nanako.

[valuedstrength]

I think they might. [A beat.] Is that what you're doing?

[adorbs]

Uh huh. I think I'm going to clean the kitchen.

[valuedstrength]

Do you need any help?

Dictation

[cyan_maid]

If they like it, they certainly don't say as much.

[She's done her fair share of cleaning up after herself and they never seemed overjoyed about it.]

Where do you think they might have gone to, anyway?

Dictation

[adorbs]

I don't know... maybe they got to stay in their homes? Do they have homes?

Dictation

[cyan_maid]

I'm not sure they do. What would a ghost's home even look like?

[onlyanapple]

[He sounds faintly amused]

You're helping the ghosts with their chores.

[adorbs]

Uh huh!

[onlyanapple]

I'm sure they'll appreciate that. I doubt most people think about doing that for them.

[Dictated]

[clockworkchild]

Ghosts?

[adorbs]

[oh! a fellow kid...]

Uh huh. There are ghosts here... But they're not scary, they're really nice.
