[People who have seen Echo might know that he's generally a pretty jolly person. Today, however, he's noticeably more glum and might even seem a bit tired. He takes a look over his shoulder before he begins speaking.]
Hi, everybody. Echo here. Um... I'm kind of glad I'm not the only one this has happened to, but I think I had a run-in with a spirit earlier. I saw something that seemed kind of normal at first. These kids were running from this other kid who was pretending to be a bird. Then, suddenly, there was this noise. I don't even know how to describe it. It was just really loud and really scary. [He sighs.] I guess I'm just feeling really unsettled now and I'm looking for a little comfort or something. I didn't think letting that thing touch me would be so bad, because we need to keep in touch, right?
You know what also doesn't help? I've been feeling kind of sick since that thing touched me. I don't know if it's related to the contact sickness or something else, but it sucks. I really wanted to go to the festival. I think I just might go anyway. Maybe someone will fix me up while I'm there.
Well, see you guys around. Feel free to give me a hand or a hug or whatever your contact of choice is if you see me.
