[ACTION -- Oct 31]
[It's generally agreed by the residents of CH3, Room 40 that this month? is a very, very bad month. The sooner it ends, the better everyone will feel. Probably. But on the last day of said month, it's Sabo's turn to experience its ugliness firsthand.

All day long, right from the moment he wakes up, he's going to be surrounded by a ghostly entourage of a classic noble household, comprising of a butler, a housemaid, a valet, a cook and a chauffeur, all intent on calling him their "Young Master" and attending to his each and every need or whim.

Whether Sabo wants them or not. And Sabo sure as hell doesn't want them.

From dressing up (which involves a lot of fancy aristocratic clothes, "GAH! What the hell, these aren't mine!") ...To snacks ("No, I don't want your stupid Earl Gray tea and lemon chiffon cakes! Leave me alone!") From staying indoors ("Dammit, what have you done with my room?! Quit cleaning and go away! ...AND STOP CALLING ME THAT! I'm not your master!") ...To escaping outside ("...Really? You guys even brought a damn carriage with you? ...That's it, I'm done with you stupid ghosts. ... STOP FOLLOWING ME!")

So yes, Sabo can be seen around the village plagued by his ghostly servants, growing more and more irritable with each call of "Young Master!". To strangers, this might seem all well and good, as the ghosts really do make a good job of their services. But to a noble-born kid who doesn't want to be treated or known as such? This is one highly successful prank.

All this because he'd shut the door to the faces of some trick or treating ghosts last night.

Finally, he gives up and turns to the journal for help.]

[Voice]

Do you guys have any idea how to drive the damn ghosts away? I... I could use some help here.

That's what I mean! If they want you to give them orders so they can do them, then just give them long orders. Send them into the forest looking for something.

B-but that's the one thing I don't wanna do the most! [So desperate now.] H-hey, you like puzzles, right? Is there really no other way to solve this except that?

[Sabo might be able to hear the realization taking place in Luke's mind. This is like a puzzle and obviously he has been getting the wrong answer so far. Hmm. What other way could there be to solve his problem? The ghosts are bothering Sabo and he wants them to go away, but they keep doing whatever they please!

So if you can't move the ghosts...]

I've got an idea! Why not send them off for just long enough to get away yourself?

[Just as he hoped Luke would take it. ;; His own brain is running out of options here.]

I tried. But running's no good... Just when I thought I already escaped, they'd appear out of nowhere. Not to mention they have a freakin' carriage and a horse with 'em!

[~~Spoiler: there IS a way to get rid of them, but Sabo would need help figuring that out. 8D~~]

A horse and cart? [Now that's odd. He hasn't seen any with props.]

I wonder what it is they really want, then...

[Since he's outside already, he'll just switch to video to show Luke the stately but completely wrecked ghostly carriage with an equally ghostly horse parked a few feet away from where Sabo is.] I'm not even sure how they expect me to ride the damn thing.

[He winces.] Eh, I was pretty rude to them last night when they came trick or treating. This is probably a payback.

Rude to them? [Maybe that's part of the answer.] What did you do?

I uh... told them to, um... bother someone else, then shut the door to their faces. [In a pissed-off pirate way, that is. Which means there are highly offensive words involved.]

This is a holiday about giving people sweets when they knock, right? Did you try that today?
