Redhawk Caldera haunted

"This was a mountain?"

"Uh-huh," Dash affirmed. Well... he was pretty sure, at least. 

Again, the girl asked if he had seen the explosion. Gods above, were all kids this slow or was this one especially thick? She clarified, asking if he had seen the phenomenon somewhere else, which was only a slightly-less-dumb question in Dash's opinion. It was an explosion for fuck's sake, it wasn't conducive to leaving behind witnesses. 

"Uh, no.. it's not the sort of thing that people would usually, um.. survive if they were close enough to see it happen. See, when a mountain explodes, all this liquid fire spills out and floods the earth as far as the eye can see. Everyone dies." Exploding mountains were really just legend and hearsay, but Dash wasn't about to tell the kid that. Now that he had been mistaken for an authority on all things mountainous and explosive, he was reluctant to give up his newfound expertise. 

"Did you see it?" he asked, suddenly curious as to what such a young kid was doing up here all alone, in the middle of the night. "Were you here when it exploded? Are you a ghost or something?" It seemed like a plausible conclusion.
