Monster Party

Gary: What did you dream about?

Spooky: Being alive, as usual. I think most ghosts dream about that. It's fun being a ghost at first but after a while you miss having your sense of touch.

Charlie: Hmmm. Hey Spooky did you have any favorite foods when you were alive?

Spooooooky: I loved all meaty foods and foods that smelled like them while they were being cooked.

Charlie: that's a wide range. Would you like me to cook you something? Course I've never cooked for a ghost. Just my brother and he can be so picky.

Spoooooooooooooky: Ghosts can't eat anything. At least not normal food. I've heard some can eat dreams, but I don't know about any physical foods ghosts can eat.

Charlie: Those kinda things could be very rare.

Gary: Dream eating? Like in Pokemon?

Spooky: Yep. Ghosts don't need food though, so they might just eat them because they taste good or something. I don't eat dreams, I'd rather have them.

Gary: Y'know, I never even understood that...how does eating a dream even work? What happens to the dream, and what happens to the person having it?

Erna: Could that be the cause of sleep paralysis? I've heard of such things.

Spooky: Maybe? I'd guess the person doesn't remember the dream and has another one.

Gary: Huh....I wonder if anyone's eaten my dreams in the past....Spooky, you haven't eaten my dreams have you?

Spoooooky: Nah. I've never really tried it though. I haunted isolated places so I wouldn't be woken up when I napped. No opportunities to eat dreams.

Gary: So what made you wanna haunt me in the first place?

Spooky: My haunting place got torn down so I ended up haunting populated places, no other choice. Sometimes people would bother me when I was asleep and I'd leave. Other times I'd "exorcised" from the property because I scared people for kicks. The monster organization thing found out about me and sent me here.

Gary: You know what, now that I think about it, how come this agency never contacted me?! The nerve of-
(a stack of letters next to the package that Charlie brought in falls over, and Gary picks a few up)
Gary: Uh....it's from the program..."first notice"..."second notice"..."final notice"...."they're coming over tomorrow"? Oh....guess I....guess I forgot to check my mail...

Erna: Oh my, you bad boy, Gary. *giggles*

Gary: That explains why my internet and phone were cut off...*opens the bills from the stack* Guess I should actually start paying them...

Spooky: Your ability to ignore mail is impressive...like that's a lot of mail to forget about.

Gary: Whatever, okay? Ugh, I'm not taking life advice from a person with literally no life!

Spooky: I'm just saying that's a big pile.

Charlie: I'd help but I left my emergency fund back home.

Gary: Oh, money isn't a problem at all...I literally just forget to do it. I'm just gonna....just gonna go pay this right now...*goes to his computer, trying to hide his anime wallpaper, and pays the bill* Eheheheh just, um...don't look, okay?

Charlie: Hey Gary how do you like your steak? I was thinking of making something for everyone.
