Friends with a ghost/The ritual fic

Ghostly Friends

I woke up from a nice sleep in my recuperacoon, after stretching I got up to head to the bathroom. We've been on the meteor for quite awhile, and even with Rose and Dave here now it still gets lonely. I miss my other friends, but it hasn't been awful. Vriska, Dave, and of course the Mayor have been my man source of entertainment for these past few months. I might as well make the most of it if we'll been here for 5 years, right?

"4NOTH3R ON3?!" I shouted, there was more blood. Green blood. I hold my head in my hands as my hair droops over my face, before staring at the message. "Are mew finally gonna listen?"
The cat puns, the green blood, all the messages and roleplays come flooding back as teal teardrops fall from my eyes. Sure, sprites and stuff of the sorts exist, but why would her ghost want to come back and haunt ME? She has Equius with her, doesn't she? And we only talked a few times, so why would she want to contact me at all? Was I just that good of a roleplay partner? I giggle at my own joke as I turn my head facing upwards.
This has to be some kind of sick prank, mostly done by Gamzee. I wish I could find him so I could beat the shit out of him. He killed her, and we ARE kismises, so I don't put it past him to pull something like this.

I wash my hands, and decide something will change. I head back to my room to grab a piece of paper, and a red crayon that I taste tested before using. I wrote out, "WHO 4R3 YOU >:?" And left it on the glass. I then decided to finally get on with my day.

The first place I went to was can town, I of course had to check up on it. Make sure it wasn't destroyed or anything. I saw Dave and the Mayor sitting there peacefully as Dave ranted about god knows what and the Mayor, most likely, listening to every word.

"H3Y D4V3!" I shouted, walking into the room.
"oh hey sup tz" Dave said, as he scooted over to make room for me. I sat down beside him and put my hands on my lap.
"you okay man? you seem a bit glum"
"W3LL 1 W4S DO1NG GOOD BUT TH3N 1 CH3CK3D TH3 B4THROOM." I said, looking up at the ceiling.
"the one you trolls have that you refuse to let us near?" Dave questioned, laughing a little bit.
"Y3S, D4V3. TH4T ON3 >:O 4ND W3 JUST DONT W4NT YOU HUM4NS TO ST1NK UP TH3 B4THROOM!" I rolled my eyes, joking of course. I'm actually not to sure why we have separate bathrooms but Karkat threw a huge fit about it and we *REALLY* didn't want to deal with that.
"haha sureee but what about that bathroom? looks perfectly normal to me" Dave put his hands behind his head and lifted his head so his shades also faced the celling.
"L3T M3 S3T TH3 SC3N3 FOR YOU, D4V3Y. FOR 2 W33KS YOU W4K3 UP, H34D TO TH3 B4THROOM TO DO YOUR BUS1N3SS 4ND TH3N YOU S33 GR33N BLOOD ON TH3 M1RROR. R1NC3 4ND R3P34T FOR 3V3RYD4Y 4ND BOOM. TH4TS WH4T MY L1F3 H4S B33N L1K3." I roll my eyes, even if they were covered by my glasses.
"oh damn tz i had no idea do you know who it is?" Dave patted me on the back, trying to comfort me.
"1 DONT KNOW.. 1 W4S TH1NK1NG 1T COULD B3 N3P3T4, BUT 1 DONT F33L L1K3 SH3 WOULD M3SS4G3 M3 OF 4LL P3OPL3!" I sigh, "1 TH1NK G4MZ33 1S JUST PULL1NG 4 S1CK PR4NK ON M3 1F 4NYTH1NG."
"woah hey man dont beat yourself up over this. who knows maybe nepeta just wants to see you again, werent you her friend?" Dave gave a sly smirk, and I smiled.
"Y34H, W3 W3R3. TH4NKS D4V3."
"of course no problem" Dave grabbed a can and handed it to me. "you gonna build?"
"H3LL Y34H!" I made tones of cans that night, trying to get the note off my mind.

Time flew by, faster than I would've liked. It was 10:32am when I started, but now its 11:43pm. This meant Dave had to go binge watch movies with Karkat and the Mayor had to go to sleep for the night, declaring that all the towns people are asleep now and he wouldn't want to disturb them with all the construction. I gave a thumbs up and headed straight to my room. It was only till I shut the door did the memories of the mirror start fading into my mind. I took a deep breath, trying not to cry as I walked to my recuperacoon. Getting in, I sighed. "DONT WORRY. TOMMOROW 1LL G3T SOM3TH1NG B4CK... HOP3FULLY." And with that, I fell into a deep sleep.
