[It takes Gregory a moment to realize that Beetlejuice is talking to the sentient smoke-cloud and not him. He's never seen a ghost type Pokemon before, but he's smart enough to realize after a moment that it's probably not a ghost that intends to hurt him...at least not physically.

Seeing that there's a strange adult commanding the ghost, though? That prompts Gregory to quickly get to his feet and take a few more steps away, ignoring the snow clinging to his clothing as his Teddiursa peeks around his head nervously.]

Hey, what gives!? You scared me!

[bugbeverage]

_{[Almost as though Gregory doesn't exist for a moment, BJ trots over to the Gastly and they do a weird little sort-of-dance upon their reunion.]}

SURE DID! Boy it's hard high-fiving someone without any hands.

_{[Finally, he rounds on Gregory and beams at him with a crooked yellow grin. He puffs out a foggy breath.]}

That's the idea, squirt. It's what I do.

[naughtyboy]

That seems to be all any adults know how to do...

[Scaring him, chasing him, trying to get him. What's next?

He huffs, dusting the snow off his clothes as he shoots that Gastly a look for its efforts. Might be kindof a weird reaction, though. It's not like most children immediately distrust strangers to THIS degree, and Gregory's never even really been told not to trust strangers.]

[bugbeverage]

_{[The Gastly returns a confused little stare. Wasn't this what he was supposed to do? He looks to Beetlejuice for reassurance but his trainer isn't paying attention. He's tilting his head, curious. Sure he gave the kid a fright but he didn't run away. Interesting!]}

You ever considered scarin' 'em back, kid?

[naughtyboy]

[Scaring them back? Gregory exchanges a glance with the Teddiursa on his shoulder, who just gives a noncommical sound.]

That's easy for you to say. I'm just a kid, I'm not scary.

[bugbeverage]

<sub>[As he listens, Beetlejuice picks a stray flake of crud off his chin. Teaching his Pokemon to spread terror has been one thing, but there's a part of his pride that still stings from being utterly unable to uplift those milquetoast newlydeads.]

[Hmm.]</sub>

You can't be serious, kid! Children are creepy as hell!

_{[He closes the gap between them at an easy stroll and invites himself to sling an arm around Gregory's shoulders. He smells awful.]}

Haven't you ever seen a scary movie where a little drowned girl crawls out of televisions and twists peoples heads around backwards? It wouldn't be nearly as scary if it was some middle aged Debbie from accounting!

[naughtyboy]

[WHY IS THIS MAN SO GROSS...

Gregory puts up with it, but barely. He doesn't even try to hide his disgust as he recoils a bit into himself, but hey, at least he's honest?]

Maybe...but I've seen way scarier than that.

[He lifts his hands, miming claws with them as he grits his teeth for emphasis.]

I'm talking giant, hulking robots that chase you and try to bite your head, or stuff you into an empty suit that crushes you all up inside!

[bugbeverage]

So'v I, kid! There's always gonna be a bigger fish, but what I'm saying is you've got a lot to work with!

_{[He considers the robots for a moment. He hasn't seen that movie. Sounds hilarious!]}

[naughtyboy]

Oookay...

[He still looks UNSURE...but alright. Fine. He's listening, old man.]

So what am I s'posed to do, then?
