Walking Wraith
While exploring a ghost town, (Captain) and company run into a girl waving around a chain saw. When they put down their weapons as an offer of peace, the girl, Hallessena, decides to join them.
On a day off, (Captain)'s crew visits a nearby ghost town as a test of courage.
Lyria seems anxious about walking through the spooky town, and Vyrn comes up beside her, not one to miss a chance for mischief.
Vyrn: Hey, Lyria. Have you heard the tale of the Walking Wraith?
Lyria: Th-the Walking Wraith? I don't think so... What is it?
Vyrn: Heh-heh... They say she haunts spooky places like this. So right when you least expect it—Vrmvrmvrm!—and a woman appears...
Vyrn: Waving around a chain saw! She goes for anyone she sees, especially the person with the most unusual hair color!
Lyria: Eeek! Unusual hair? Stop! I don't wanna hear any more! (Captain)! Vyrn's being a meanie!
Lyria quivers in fear as she grabs (Captain)'s hand. The captain scowls disapprovingly at Vyrn.
Vyrn: Geez, sorry. My bad. It's only a rumor... I think. And I kinda made the hair part up. I thought I'd just have some fun.
As if on cue, a whirring mechanical noise suddenly starts up from behind them.
Lyria: V-Vyrn? That buzzing sound you were talking about before... Did it sound anything like this?
Vyrn: M-maybe...
The party turns around nervously to face the source of the sound.
???: Ha-ha-ha... Hee-hee-hee! Heellooo!
A girl in vibrantly-colored clothes stands there, wearing a maniacal grin and wielding an even more maniacal-looking chain saw.
???: Aha! Look at the scary people I found! Ha-ha!
???: Ha-ha! Hee-hee! I'm terrified! Just check out how I'm shaking here! Time to say sayonara-bye-bye!
Vyrn: Aahh! Run!
???: Ha-ha! How crazy are you guys! There's no escape!
???: You're here to do something crazy awful to me too, right? Hee-hee! Then gimme your best shot!
Lyria: S-something awful? We would never—
???: Bzzzt, wrong! Liar, liar, pants on fire! You're gonna go sayonara-bye-bye now!
She waves the weapon around wildly, slicing up several rocks and buildings in her vicinity.
The cloud of dust she kicks up swallows the crew.
Vyrn: Cough... Holy moly, that thing is sharp! Ack, I mean this is no time to sweat the details!
Lyria: N-now's our chance. We have to hide somewhere! Oh, how about there?
The crew runs to the small cabin Lyria has pointed out and hides inside.
???: Come out, come out, wherever you are! Come on out and play with me, scary people! Ha-ha!
Vyrn: Who in their right mind would go out there? And she calls us the scary ones? Geez!
Lyria: Is she the wraith you were talking about before?
Vyrn: Yeah, that's gotta be her! She's even crazier than the rumors say!
Suddenly the chain saw blade comes shrieking through the wall, just missing (Captain)'s face.
Vyrn: Yikes!
???: Heeere's Hallie!
What a lovely scream ringing in my ears! Sounds like I found the cream filling! Ha-ha!
What a lovely scream ringing in my ears! Sounds like I found the cream filling! Ha-ha!
(Captain)'s crew dashes out of the cabin in a panic.
The girl cackles madly as she demolishes the cabin, leaving only sawdust in her wake.
???: Well? Whaddya think of my little friend here? Isn't it crazy to the max?
???: Hee-hee-hee! I'm gonna cut everything to pieces... and then I'm gonna cut the pieces into pieces! Like, no joke.
???: Itsy-bitsy, teensy-weensy pieces! And then down comes the rain to wash away all the scary people who try to hurt me! Ha-ha-ha-ha!
The crew tries to escape, but the labyrinth of abandoned buildings soon has them cornered.
???: Gotcha now! Time to kiss your butts sayonara-bye-bye!
Lyria: W-wait! We won't do anything bad to you! I promise!
???: Then what are you doin' here? No one should be here! This is my world! My secret refuge! Mine!
Vyrn: W-we had no idea! We just came here to prove we had the guts, and... Aww, forget about guts! Please don't chop us up!
???: Liars! I know what you're up to... First you'll trick me, and then you'll get me!
Vyrn: Argh! It's no use! She's not listening to us!
???: Hee-hee! Ha-ha! So much scary in the sky! Slice 'em up and watch 'em... Well, you'll see!
The girl creeps toward (Captain), grinning into the captain's eyes as she brandishes the chain saw over her head.
But (Captain) senses something else behind the apparently evil grimace. The captain's weapon clatters to the floor as a show of peace.
Lyria follows suit, raising her hands along with (Captain).
???: Ha-ha... Hee-hee! Nice try, but nope! Sayonara-bye-bye!
Shrieking like a raging banshee, the girl swings her roaring weapon at (Captain)'s exposed neck...
???: ...
But the saw stops inches from its target.
???: Ha-ha! Consider me schooled on bein' crazy! No defense? From an incoming chain saw? Insanity!
???: Sigh... And that's such a lovely lizard. It sure would be nice to the max if you're not here to hurt me...
???: But what's your angle? Pullin' a stunt like that.
Lyria: Um... We just wanted to show you we don't intend to do anything bad to you.
Vyrn: Hey, you were talking about your refuge... Are you in some kinda trouble?
???: ...!
???: You serious? So you guys really aren't out to get me?
(Captain) nods and explains their situation. The girl, who finally seems to trust the crew, lowers her weapon.
???: I see. So I guess you guys are safe after all.
???: Ha! How insane is that! Ha-ha! And I love that lizard! He's bold, brash, and even red! He's just to die for!
Vyrn: Huh? Me? What?
???: Hee-hee. I'm insanely sorry! My bad! To show my apologies, I'll join you guys, 'kay?
Vyrn: What? How do you figure that?
???: You guys are skyfarers, right? So if I join you, I won't have to run around lookin' for hiding places.
???: And you guys are safe, right? Hee-hee! So if I go with you, I'll be happy-dance fine!
Vyrn: Hmm... Whaddya think, (Captain)?
Choose: That's an insanely good idea.
???: Yesss! You've made me happy to the max! And I love people who do that! Love 'em to bits! Little, tiny bits!
Choose: We'd be crazy to refuse.
???: Ha-ha! Me and my chain saw are with you on that! I'm so comin' with you! I'm tenacious with a capital everything!
Vyrn: Geez... Looks like nothing will peel her off of us.
???: Ha-ha! That's right! Give it up!

Hallessena: I'm Hallessena! Lookin' forward to slicin' with you!
Vyrn: Sigh... I can't believe the rumors were true. She's as bad as she was made out to—
Hallessena: Lizzy-lizard!
Hallessena: You drop-dead gorgeous lizzy-lizard! Coochy-coochy-coo!
Vyrn: Yikes! I ain't no—
S-stop that!
S-stop that!
Lyria: Ha-ha... I think she likes you, Vyrn.
Hallessena: Ha-ha... Hee-hee... Safety... Heh-heh...
Rubbing cheeks with Vyrn, Hallessena feels secure at last, instantly dropping her restraints and breaking into a smile.
Lyria: Hallessena, you seem so happy.
Lyria: Um, Vyrn? I'm really sorry, but I think you're going to have to put up with this for a little while.
Vyrn: Ugh... Okay, I get it. But couldn't she be a little more—you know—gentle about it?
Thus Hallessena joins the crew, along with both sides of her personality.
And Vyrn tactfully waits until she is sleeping soundly to slowly disentangle himself from her grasp.
