(AN: This is more of a hobby than anything for the moment, so don't expect updates that are super consistent w; hopefully my chapters will get longer as I continue writing and try to improve my work.)
After stepping outside my whole body felt like it was itching very badly, if I had skin it would probably be very sore and red right now! Luckily for me I don't have any of the instinctive urges to scratch myself.
Also lucky for me I am under my trusty disguise, I think I would have been more seriously injured if I wasn't wearing it. I scramble back inside as quickly as I can, my little fake head peeking out the door. Oddly I am able to see out of that head just fine, even if I can't do anything else with it. I am a little teary eyed, for some reason the sun is out to get me. I am only a few hours old and I already have enemies, the sun, and every Pikachu on the planet.
Formidable odds to be sure.
Now I need to figure out how to get out the door without my body feeling like it will combust. I would hate to need to live inside forever…
Logically I want to leave the house, my instincts are split on that decision, half of me wants to be outside in the spotlight, to have lots of attention and admirers! The other half of me wants to sit in the attic for a long time and collect spiritual energy. That last one sounds boring so I am gonna try to figure out how to get outside…
Maybe a nice hat? An Umbrella? Is there one here? I quickly glance around the empty house for something to cover myself with, there aren't any Umbrellas but I did find a sun hat! Its a straw gardening hat with a pretty blue ribbon wrapped around the center! I quickly adjust it so that there are some holes for my 'ears' at the top and easy!
Problem solved… Maybe. With my new hat on my head I cautiously poke my head out a second time, no burning yet. With a few more careful scootches outside I find I am mostly okay. As long as I stay very careful and under the hat I don't feel as much of the burning sensation, its still there, just a lot less. Its very empty out here, no birds chirping, no squirrels scurrying about (Whats a squirrel?), even the grass seems a bit yellowed. Its nice here for sure, but its a little lonely.
Only one solution for that! Traveling! This is gonna suck, I am in the middle of what looks to be largely farmland and empty grass for as far as I can see, which to be fair isn't very far, the sunhat gets in the way a bit, and also I am starting to notice my vision isn't light based which, while interesting, makes me wonder why I thought it would be. These thoughts I am having feel very silly now but no less interesting. With no choice (That I care about) I pick a direction and start to slowly move.
My body isn't very fast I am noticing, having no legs certainly does make movement a bit of a challenge… Hopefully I will figure out a solution to that issue one day, but right now I can't even call upon my own ghostly powers, I don't want to find out if shadowy monster claws can get sunburn.
