So, funny story, I was writing this other more serious angst story, but I kinda got burnout from working on it for 3 days non-stop. So I came up with a random prompt for me to do and sorta just take a break from working on it. And then I randomly thought: "Grian as a ghost"

And now I'm here, so lol.

there will be a few ships in this, but most are platonic, unless you want to view it as otherwise.

"X! X! Help!"


X, startled by somebody suddenly calling his name, turned to the door, and saw Scar running in, seemingly out of breath and was in a rush, "Scar? What's wrong?"

"I-I saw something move near the basement stairs, so I went to investigate near." Scar told his story while breathing heavily, "and there was a lot of dust near the stairs, so I sneezed, and suddenly, I heard someone say "Bless you.""

X raised an eyebrow, "And?"

"I turned to see who said that, but nobody was around!" Scar claimed, "X, there's a ghost in the basement!"

"..." X stayed silent for a while, not sure how he should respond, "Scar... are you sure you aren't hearing things?"

"I'm 100% sure! I heard it with my own two ears-!"

"Hallo? What's going on here?"


Iskall, drawn by X and Scar's voices, walked into the room. "What's this about hearing things and not?"

"Iskall, help! There's a ghost in the basement!" Scar then also told Iskall about him hearing someone near the basement staircase.

"...You're probably just imagining things, Scar." Iskall sighed, trying to calm the poor hermit down, "there's no way there's a ghost in the basement. It's 10 PM, just go to bed, you're probably just tired."

"I- no! I swear I heard someone!" Scar defended his claim.

"Scar," X started, clearly tired, "If you're so sure about it, how about you investigate more?"

"I- X, you know I have phasmophobia! I can't do it alone!"

"Cub, Mumbo, Joe, and Cleo are awake at the moment," Iskall mentioned, "If you're too afraid to do it alone, ask someone to come with you. I'm certainly not coming."

Scar tried his best to calm himself down before answering, "fine, I'll go ask Cub." he then walked out the room.


Iskall watched him walk out, and then turned to X, "Is Scar okay?"

"He's probably just sleep deprived, he hasn't really slept much since 2 days ago, you know, when Jellie went missing." X sighed as he continued to work, "I know I sometimes also hallucinate when I don't get enough sleep."

"I guess you're right," Iskall said, looking out the hallway where Scar just went out, "Also, now that you mentioned it, X, aren't you going to sleep soon?"

X froze for a second, "...I still have work to do, Iskall-"

"X, you can continue that tomorrow. Go to sleep, we won't let you pull an all-nighter again." Iskall cut him off.

"I-" X sighed, "Fine, I'll go to sleep in an hour."
