The Halloween Society: Chapter 3

I hate to interrupt, but how long are you planning to make us wait?

Toshiro? I can't believe you're dressed up like that too.

The bottom line is, we couldn't start our meeting because you all didn't show up on time.

Oh, did you come to get us?

It's all because you wandered around and took your sweet time, Ichigo. You should apologize!

Come on, let's go. Rangiku and the others are all waiting.

There's more to this?

............

(This is starting to look like a weird procession.)

What is this place? I've never seen it before.

Eh, whatever. This is just a dream anyway.

Oh, welcome back.

Good dog, Captain. Good dog.

Stop it! I'm not a dog!

Shake? Come on!

Woof.

Good job! Attaboy!

So, what are we all gathered for anyway?

If you insist, I suppose I'll have to explain it.

Recently, we've received word that mysterious hunters have been spotted, prowling through this area.

It appears the two of them are looking for a certain secret treasure.

Hunters? Treasure? I have no clue what this is about.

The secret treasure they're looking for is priceless.

It's a legendary item with powers that will force us to return to our original forms as human beings!

What?!

So you mean, if I use it on myself, I can turn back into a human being?

Yes, that is correct.

Question! Where would a person look for this secret treasure?

It is kept under lock and key in that castle you see over there.

Hold on, there! Just where are you going, Ichigo?

To the castle, if you must know.

You're not planning to steal it, are you?

Damn right, I am! I'm gonna use it to turn myself back into a human being!

At that point, I should be able to wake up from this dream!

What kind of stupid plan have you got up your sleeve?! Come to your senses, will you?!

Nng... Blood... Need more blood...

Once you wake up from this dream, your anemia will be gone too.
