>"This is Renko. She's that friend of mine from the outside world that I was looking for. I can't remember if I mentioned her to you or not already today. I finally found her a short while ago."
>"And I wasn't really trying to mess with ghosts. We had a look into that abandoned house up the way out there, and a bunch of them ambushed us. I... don't suppose you know anything about that house or what happened there?"
> "This is Renko. She is the person I was trying to find earlier."
> "About the ghosts though, there was this abandoned house near the forest's edge and they appeared after we found a room that seemed to have dried blood all over the place. Do you know that place?"
>"Um, hi," says Renko, as Marisa busies herself pouring water from a kettle.
>"Nope, never mentioned her to me," says Marisa, as she puts a cup full of tea leaves in front of you. "Good to meet you, Renko."
>"Charmed," Renko answers with a nod as Marisa makes herself comfortable at the table, her chair giving an alarming creek.
>"Abandoned..." says the magician, frowning a bit, "Oh! That place! So there really are ghosts there? Huh. Well, I guess it follows. It's one of those old stories from the old days, you know? And blood? Geez, maybe I oughta have looked into it sooner."
