While thousands lament their lack of housing, those who do own property might have something else to worry about. Special investigative reporter and paranormal expert Lopp Yasaburo brings us the latest info on the mischevous Floor Reapers. Click here to view Part 1.
What else do we know about floor reapers?
Reapers are quite often shy and apprehensive towards the living, and so they seek to make their presence as small as possible, squeezing into tight spaces and generally keeping quiet.
They are, however, typically more afraid of you than you are of them. So, should you encounter one, remember this: Approach slowly and keep neutral body language. Keep low and avoid eye contact. Perhaps share your hand, that they might learn your scent.
When a floor reaper becomes comfortable with you, you can sit with it and discuss current events, or even the latest fashion trends. You might be surprised what you have in common, and find a brand new BFF right under your floorboards!
But what if a floor reaper turns out to be particularly unfashionable? These are, after all, preternatural beings that prey on the spirits of the dead, and can be potentially dangerous, even to the living.
Some are shy and friendly, yes, but others are likely to lash out. In that case, your best option may be to contact one of the many paranormal investigation and eradication units found in Eorzea. These experts make it their life’s work to manage unruly entities on the other side. And lately, as you can imagine, floor reapers are high on their to-do lists.
If you or anyone you know is suffering from a floor reaper infestation, or meet one that just doesn’t share your fashion sense, consider reaching out to Ishgard’s very own reaper busting organization: the Eorzean Manifestations Extermination Team - Special Evictions of Lingering Creatures and Haunts.
While their usual headquarters were recently destroyed in an unfortunate incident involving - you guessed it - floor reapers, they’ll soon open shop in a brand new location right here in Empyreum!
Such organizations are equal parts elusive and mysterious, but ask around and you may hear stories from homeowners - in hushed whispers - who have found themselves in dire need of their services.
When they open for business at their new and improved location, you’ll be the first to know - right here in The Babbler!
