SO! …. what is it exactly Alana listens too, or for, again? She’s a sort of Anti-Tina. I get the feeling that a conversation with her is like playing Postal Chess. Is she accustomed to a more efficient form of speech [like Digit?]
Not always a ghost, though. Quite a few have fully physical forms. There’s a whole subset that are living artifacts; the tsukumogamiusAccording to Japanese folklore sandals, teapots, umbrellas, etc can “acquire a spirit” after many years of use.
What would be worse, that she doesn’t have them under complete control, or that they [i]are[/i] under complete control, and this is what they’re like?
That said, this doesn’t seem to be the same Alana as previously seen in high school; the earlier one was dark-haired and entirely capable of directing the traffic of other schoolmates …
I think it might just be the shadow of her chin. She seems rather shady, in a literal sense, compared to everyone else. Perhaps she’s some sort of shadow creature?
There’s not much help from Google Translate. It’s a Place name-
“North Village.” Literal Translation is even less help with Hiroshi.
Literally it’s “Doctor North Belly,” Hepatologist??
Suffice to say they aren’t related. Ruri doesn’t look Fay-ish either.
Notice where the speech bubble emanated from… it’s NOT her Mouth!, i think that Ruri is either something akin to how Tsillah is, in that “she” is actually the shadowy “smoke” AROUND the human form we see, or maybe something like she’s the living swarm of VERY tiny black “dots” that surround the human host we see… or… or… or… something completely different…
Well, that’s a very reserved yong woman…
She is not looking well.
…part-yokai, maybe?

Because Ruri doesn’t speak often, or loudly, Alana needs to listen for when she does
What’s a yokaI?
A for of Japanese ghost
thx
Ah, Castela will have a possible subject to observe when she visits Atsali.

yokai are spirits that inhabit objects that have had long use and are well loved then abandoned.
I thought it was the yellow part of an egg… 🙂
So it seems like the egg is on your face, huh Vori?
😉
Not quite. Those are a type of yokai called tsukumogami. Yokai is a more general term for supernatural creatures.
QUICK! Somebody plug that girl into a wall outleta
“Juden Chan” perhaps? (from TokuHD?)
She comes across as an introvert.
Well, she’s an entirely new cast member.
Which means most of us guessing who the roommate would be were wrong.
Makes me wonder what her powers are and why she can’t control them better.
Hmmm…Maybe she’s something like Black Bolt, King of the Inhumans in Marvel comics? If she speaks too loudly, things…shatter?

Hair bleaching and colours are a thing too.
Also goths dying their hair black.
Anyone else think that Conscience and Ruri would get along fabulously if they ever met?
Finaly!
What I was trying to say last night was, “Finally, a local!”
New Character! <3
Is she wearing a choker or is her head disconnected? There’s some Japanese ghost like that as well iirc.

Chin shadow was my first thought.
I wonder what the Paranormal equivalent of chronic fatigue syndrome is?
Or maybe she’s just a vampire, and still finds the daytime very draining.
The medical term is “draco fatigati”. Colloquially you’d say “She’s just draggin'”.

What’s the food on her tray? a bowl of rice and a block of tofu?
If that’s the case then we know what the problem is.
Get some red meat in that girl…stat!
HORRORS! that most terrifying of ALL Paras – A Vegan!!!
I would be out of luck. Tofu doesn’t agree with my insides.
I thought maybe she’s Hiroshi’s sister but the last names are different. Yeah, I hunted through the archives to check.
I checked that as well. Etymologically, they are the difference between a
Yankee Municipal Corporation, and a Kidney Specialist.
Terrifying, yet hot.
Stupid HOT Yokai Vegans!
Skylar looks like “Wut?”, while Atsali seems to be thinking “Hmm…”.

though in hindsight, Alana’s speech bubbles don’t start at her mouth either… so i guess my whole post above could be meaningless… oh well!
Most speech bubbles don’t start at the mouth, simply point toward the speaker
Heck, I didn’t even notice the aura.
‘Pigpen!’, but not so much. I’m thinking it’s Shadow, cumulative & flowing…
KitaMURA, KitaHARA.
For a second there, I thought she might be a relation to Hiroshi (You remember, “Reginald the butterfly”?)
Too bad.
