"AAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!"
"Stop screaming, they can hear!!"
"You're screaming as well!!!"
"Not as loud as you are!! I'm at least one exclamation mark below you!!"
"How the hell do you measure in exclamation marks?!"
"You look at their face. The more it's scrunched up, the more exclamation marks he's trying to attempt."
"Is that how you spend your time in the forest? It's strange how you never grow a beard."
"And to think you were screaming a while ago. Turn left here!"
"Why? It's the same as the rest of the place. Jungle. Forest. Any other words that are an equivalent."
"You have any other ideas, boy genius?!"
"We will feast on your souls!"
"Nope! No problem! Turn left it is!"
"I thought you'd see things my way. Here we go!"
"It is pointless to hide. We will find you. And then, we will kill you!"
"Says the ones that took a whole decade to realize that they're dead! And I've killed you all before, don't make me exorcise you next! I've been practicing."
"You can exorcise them?"
"No more than that stick can, really."
"We will feast upon your souls!"
"Isn't that cannibalism?"
"Silence, killer! You will regret your homicide of us!"
"Hold on, let me check...nope, no remorse. Try your luck next decade, boys!"
"You have angered and frustrated us long enough! We shall feast upon..."
"Our souls! We get it! Now stop repeating your damn line, it's really annoying!"
"Don't disrespect them, Magrathea, they're dead. Poor things."
"Then don't kill them in the first place!!"
"See, that's two exclamation marks strong."
"This isn't the time, Asura!!!"
"Now now, don't shout, we're almost there."
"Where?"
"The ravine."
Just then, the ground beneath us dropped into the darkest expanse of land on the continent.
"Oh. I didn't expect the ravine so soon."
"THE WHAT?!!!"
"The ravine. We were going to drop the ghosts in there and seal them to the stone."
"BUT WON'T WE DIE IN THE PROCESS?!!!"
"Technically so. But I'm here. So everything's gonna be fine."
"WHAT MAKES YOU SO SURE THEY'RE GONNA FOLLOW US IN?!!!"
"Now that's something I hadn't considered yet."
