After they got their meals, the two ghouls had talked through what happened in the past.
"So," Grezcht stated, "after finding the bodies of both Ray and Samuel as well as yours, I've came to a theory about ghouls: each ghoul's powers derive from how they died. For example, I found your body frozen in an icy wasteland. Hard as a rock, you were. Like a popsicle. Ray, I found out, was dropped by a tornado. It was tough to figure out, but his body was found in the plains and he looked like he fell from a high place. That was in tornado alley. And Ray's body was found in the forest. He looked horrible. He was half eaten by everything. Bugs, birds, big cats, you name it. I could almost smell him.."
"So then Johnny and Allen were-"
"Yup. Burned to death. Pretty harsh. I also found Dex's body outside of a mountain, at the foot. I swear, it was hot as hell out there. There were barely any trees, just rocks and a mountain. I was a bit thrown off at first. He couldn't have died of heat stroke just at the foot of the mountain. He had nothing on him. There were no stab wounds. He didn't look crushed by anything heavy, so rule out rock slide. I almost gave up until I found something off about the mountain side right by his body: there were signs that a hole used to be in the spot. I cleared it out and it looked like someone tried to dig with their bare hands. I thiught it was idiotic, to have died hand-digging into a mountain, so I dug into it myself, see if there was some truth behind it. Eventually, the hole collapsed, revealing a cave system inside. It was also evident that something -- or someone -- was digging from the other side. I cleared an entryway inside and found Colt's body. I then noticed something else: their bodies looked starved. I pieced together that one of the brothers got trapped inside a cave system after a sudden rock slide. Both brothers dug and dug to try and save Colt, but the rock wall was too thick and their hands were insufficient as tools. Colt starved to death because the cave had nothing to offer, as did Dex because he refused to leave his brother."
"Wow... Quite a story from two dead bodies and a mountain."
"Yup. One died in the darkness, and the other died with nothing but the light shining on his lifeless body."
"So then how'd you die?"
"I guess I had a really agonizing bone disease or something."
"Yea... But, something's off..."
"And what's that?"
"... What's Tommy's story?"
Grezcht shot a look of confused realization.
"... Come to think of it, that's a good question. How the hell does turning invisible kill you? That's weird... Only thing I can come up with is that maybe, he... Faded out of existence? That is a really good question... But no matter. It's still just a theory.
Grezcht got up.
"Well, this was fun, but I'm heading to my dorm room. Fancy meeting you."
He begun leaving.
"Hey, don't leave me with the bill myself!" She yelled at him.
"Don't worry," he said. "I already paid."
She looked at the table and noticed a huge wad of money; there was even fifty dollars extra and a note that said 'Keep the change.'
She was speechless, but eventually got over it and left as well. They each went off to their dorms.Last edited by wonderweiss; 06/18/2014, 02:54 AM.
