ONGOING EVENT THEME OR WHATEVER

[anangryinch]

[When you wake up this morning, the mansion looks considerably... spookier.

The walls seem creakier. The wallapaper's peeling. Spiderwebs and an inch of dust coat everything. It looks like nobody's been here in ages, and the shadows are very dark and deep.

There's a chill in the air and a sense that something's watching you.

seems appropriate for their relationship

[masokaiser]

[WELL SINCE YOU HATE GHOSTS SO MUCH

He's hovering about a foot above the floor with a spike shoved right through his heart.]

[anangryinch]

[She turns a corner and


what


She bristles at first at the big stupid jerk who somehow conned her into letting him feed her, and then she notices the

floating.]

...?!

[masokaiser]

...what.

[He's remarkably sullen rather than freaked out at the fact that he's. yknow. impaled.]

[anangryinch]

[nnnow she sees the impalement.

She backtracks and tries to draw herself up as big as she can which isn't v big at all.]


...

Get back.

[She looks a lot more. Guarded and edgy than she did last time.]

[masokaiser]

I'm not going to do anything.

[Normally he'd be a liiittle pleased that knife-spirit-lady is so clearly wary around him, but...normally he's also ALIVE.

He tugs a little at the spike, not looking particularly surprised that it won't budge.]

[anangryinch]

Hah.

I know the dead far better than you, boy.

[She backtracks slightly, slowly.]

[masokaiser]

Am I about to start attacking you against my will, then?

Not that I could do it like this.

[waves his hand through a lamp |( ]

[anangryinch]

[She stops feigning and really does take a wide step back when he moves his hand.]

You know who you're speaking to, right? Spirits don't do physical damage.

[masokaiser]

What, you think I'll possess you?

I don't even know how.

[He's clearly more than a little put-out with this.]

[anangryinch]

Tchhhh.

You're visible to me. You must have more power than you realize.

[well obviously all ghosts go by her rules right]

[masokaiser]

[well she's probably right even if what clued her in is wrong...]

Visible as a cheap carnival attraction.

[He gives another tug at the spike.]

I can't even get this out.

[anangryinch]

Hah.

Is that how you managed to off yourself?

[She's still giving him a wide berth.]

A spirit normally requires a host to so much as see the world.

[masokaiser]

I didn't do this. I didn't even see whoever did it.

[oh so THAT'S why he's such a grump about it]

...do we really.

[anangryinch]

That was my experience.

That, or be the victim of something truly occult.

[She snrks slightly. you're no one to talk, thistle, you turned into goddamn sand when you died]

I suspect it's just this place at work, then.

[but i'm going to stay away from you anyway]

[masokaiser]

I see.

Hopefully I'm not stuck this way.

[He thinks for a moment, leaning back on...nothing, in midair.]

...how do you possess someone?

[anangryinch]

[Her eyes narrow.]

I'm not about to tell you.

It requires more finesse and willpower than a mere amateur would possess.

[punny]

[masokaiser]

[thistle. don't do that.]

...Does it.

[SIZING HER UP]

[anangryinch]

[She steels her jaw and folds her arms tightly, a hair defensively.]

I'm the last person you want to try that on, boy.

[your ghost couldn't even fit all the way in me]

[masokaiser]

[...she does have a point there. At least when he's so inexperienced with ghost things.]

I might as well find someone else, then. I don't want to let my death go to waste.

[anangryinch]

Tch.

If you are truly dead, and this isn't merely a farce put on by this place, your time would be better spent figuring out why you're still here.

There are fates worse than death, and you've found one.

[masokaiser]

Yes. You told me that.

[He floats down a little closer to the ground.]

This isn't ideal, but I don't see how it's worse.

[anangryinch]

You might be fortunate enough to be ambulatory - and to have retained your mind - but there are plenty of other pleasures of the living now denied to you.

Even if it doesn't need it anymore... The mind still remembers hunger. Still remembers sleep. Still remembers chills.

And there is no way to satisfy the cravings of the flesh when you no longer have it.

The dead torment the living out of envy.

[masokaiser]

[...well.

That's not good news.

He's staring down at the spike and looking distinctly unsettled.]

[anangryinch]

Hmf.

[She sighs and loses a BIT of her tension, but you're still GHOST SCUM]

There was a time I would've told you to find whoever did this and exact revenge to put yourself at rest.

When I was dead, I had always assumed getting vengeance would be the end of it.

But it wasn't.

[masokaiser]

...mm.

[He sinks down more and more until he's actually sitting on the floor. Well, he looks like he is, at least.]

There's no point to revenge. It gets in the way.
