[Alfred hadn't been around to see Arthur pick up the offending egg which had effected him in such a way, but he's coming around the corner now without a single one. So much for splitting up and trying to find eggs that way. And to make matters worse...

...What the fuck is going on?? Why did Arthur just FALL through a wall?! Who even does that?]

Arts, hey!!

[His look of alarm relaxes once he sees the teen reappear through the wall, running over to him and giving him a worried once-over.]

Are you okay?! You look all...weird. what kinda spell was that, even?

[rule_britannia]

[He is, for a long moment, so distracted with pulling his hand in and out of the wall that he doesn't even seem to realise Alfred is there. Then he looks at him and chuckles uneasily.]

I'm, er.. I'm sure it'll wear off.

[allamericanreject]

Oh...

[Alfred reaches out, as if to touch Arthur's shoulder...and he passes through it OH FUCK! He pulls his hand back, looking freaked out.]

Y-YOU'RE A GHOST!!

[rule_britannia]

I'm not a bloody ghost, stop screaming!

[Alright, he's walking through things and is slightly transparent and.. looks a great deal like a ghost, but...]

Being a ghost would require my having died. Don't you think I would've noticed something like that?

[allamericanreject]

...Alright, maybe you've got a point there.

[Maaaaybe you do. Perhaps he's freaking out over a big hill of beans...]

I'm sure there are people though, that haven't noticed that they've gone and died! Don't write it off, yo!

Um. Anyway, so what really happened to cause that? If you're right and it's gonna wear off, I still wanna know what made it happen at all. People don't just go ghost around here, do they?

[rule_britannia]

Of course I have a point, do you think I'd just pop my bloody clogs here in the hallway and not notice?

[Pardon him for sounding a little tense, but this does feel very much like being dead and he's very sure he doesn't like it one bit.]

I'm not sure. I touched one of those eggs, and then..

[Then he was like this!]

[allamericanreject]

[Alfred stares...for a little bit...]

Dude, even to me that sounded like way British and I've spent how many freakin' years here?

[APPARENTLY NOT ENOUGH...]

Ahaha, anyway...that's a relief! Then yeah, s'prolly just something dumb that'll wear off after a little while, like you said! We shouldn't let it slow us down! I'm sure we can find a few more eggs somewhere if we look hard enough! Did you keep the one egg you found then?

[Back to business, eh? Well, he does want to win!]

[rule_britannia]

Sod off! [STARE. Not enough. Never enough if you're still being surprised by how British Arthur can get if he's riled up.]

Ah--

[He looks around for it, spotting it on the floor not far away.]

There it is. Er.. should I try and pick it up?

[He's not sure if he can, but it did do this to him, so maybe he can touch it?]

[allamericanreject]

If you can...I think it should be okay. I mean if you touched it and it did that, then I'm not gonna touch it, and you've already been affected by it, so why shouldn't you be able to hold it?

Not like it can make you more invisible.

[Alfred moves closer to the offending egg now that they've spotted it, peering at it suspiciously.]

[rule_britannia]

... I'm not invisible.

[Wanker.

He moves over to it, crouches, and carefully picks it up between his thumb and forefinger.]

... Huh.

[allamericanreject]

You're see-through. Close enough.

[Alfred squints at the egg.]

Maaaaybe we should look for more. I mean hey. The effects are worth the prize, wouldn't you say? [A shrug. He's JUST saying.] I'll pick up the next one if you want...I guess. Even though I kinda...don't wanna touch 'em now. Ihhh.

[rule_britannia]

Scaredy cat.

[He pokes his tongue out, trying not to be too distracted with how he can put his hand.. through his other hand. Eugh.]

Now I know how the ghosts feel. Perhaps I won't snap at Moaning Myrtle the next time I see her.
