WHO: Ben Hargreeves & Rikki Chadwick
WHAT: Ghosts!
WHERE: Second Floor, Library
WHEN: July 19th
WARNING: Ghost warnings? Updated as needed.
They'd gone together to grab some food in the kitchen, Ben having filled his found satchel to the brim to bring back to their base of operations, or, you know, bedrooms they had all claimed. With everything seeming to settle down a bit it made it easier to find locations A through Z when one needed to. Still, it was best to go somewhere in pairs, and so he and Rikki had gone out to grab food.
"Does it feel colder in here?" Ben asked as they came into a hall way. His breath was clear on the air and he frowned, looking around. Just as turned he saw a ghostly figure of a boy, young, no more than ten, pointing down the hall. He'd seen this boy before. Several times before actually.
When he tapped Rikki on the shoulder for her to follow him, the ghost boy was gone, but Ben was moving. Following. He hit a corner first, and saw the figure point at a door and go through it. "Sorry Rikki, I just... have to check something out." He said, darting to the door and pausing there, glancing to make sure she was with him and not lost. Then... pushed the door open to see a gust of wind ruffle papers and books before going away.
He held a hand up to block the wind as it gust past them, then lowered it, frowning. What was that all about? A library?!

no subject
And he could feel the other was uncomfortable. He didn't mean to haul her into a place she didn't want to be, but he was curious. Why had he sent him in here. Maybe he just new Ben liked books. It could literally be as simple as that.
"I was complaining about not having a book to read. Maybe he's showing me that I have choices." he said with a snort, then looked back to Rikki. He could tell she didn't want to be here.
Giving her a soft smile he shook his head. "No, it's okay. I can come back and check it out another time on my own. No sense dragging you into this."
ftb end?
To prove her point that it was all right, Rikki started forward without him, but slowly so that he could take the lead again. "Let's find us each something to read. I'm sure the others would like it, too. I know Cleo would. Go on, then, I'm right here with you, mate."
She could do this. This would be fine. Don't lead us into a trap, ghost boy. That's all I ask, she thought and then they moved further into the library to explore.
