 t seems like just another day in this place. It's chilly, but not miserable, and there's a bit of holiday cheer in the form of a few of those trees people have managed to decorate.
Of course...there's also the shades, but who cares about those?
They wander, drifting too and fro, following their usual, typical lives as if they have no idea that they're not longer alive, no longer in their own proper home. They walk over the frozen lake in Flavo as if it's not even there, open doors that no longer exist, and settle into rooms that are nothing but rubble.
They're living in a past that only they can see, but perhaps you can see a bit more from watching them?
Only... maybe don't spend too much time with them, lest you start seeming too much like a ghost yourself.

2/2
[ His eyes glow red, and he puts a great deal of demonic energy into his words. His voice echoes, weirdly. He has............no real way of enforcing any of the above, not without complex incantations and talismans, but.... just as ghosts and shades like to frighten people, they themselves can be frightened. Maybe he can bully the thing out of her. ]
no subject
Have you always been able to make your eyes glow like that?
[ Well. Either the spirit possessing Maya is fearless, or it's just Maya, but given enough thought, she could completely understand why he's immediately jumped to the conclusion that she's had her body taken over. ]
no subject
[ Ugh, exorcism arrays are a major pain to make, mostly because of the amount of blood required to make one. Also Maiden Nero will probably flip out about the mess on the floor.
Again.Still, he'll brave anemia and his roommate's ire for the woman who braved, er, him and saved his life. He grins. ]
I mean, of course you can stay with me tonight! Let's go right now!
no subject
... You know, actually, I've remembered through the haze of sleep deprivation that you're probably going to make another stripping joke and I'll immediately want to go back home.

He exhales. Thank heavens, she's not possessed! . What a relief. ]
no subject
[ He grins.
A moment later, the grin breaks and his expression goes back to normal. Or whatever passes for normal, for this punk. ]
I'm kidding. What's the matter? Why haven't you been sleeping?
no subject
[ With a beatific smile yet again. ]
... Let's just say these ghosts or spirits or whatever they are-- they've kind of decided to make my bedroom their love nest.

[ He holds his sides and laughs and laughs and laughs, actually going so far as to roll on the ground in the snow.... ]
no subject
You know, that's really.... Say, what time do they get going, roundabouts? Is it every night? Let's go have a look!
[ Because he knows where Maya lives, post-caroling, he starts walking that way. ]
no subject
Yes, it's every night. And since it's at night, they're not going to be there right now.
[ SO CEASE AND DESIST. ]
no subject
Hmm.
[ Absentmindedly, he brushes a few errant clumps of snow from his hair, whilst squinting at the sky. There can't be too many hours of daylight left. He'll just have to wait. ]
You're sure? You're positive that's what they're doing?
no subject
[ Why. ]
no subject
Haha! My apologies! Didn't mean to inquire about the sordid details. It's just that...that is very unusual behavior, for ghosts!
no subject
no subject
[ With feeling: ]
People don't usually forget their deaths!
no subject
Not usually, you're right!
no subject
[ He shoots at glance at Maya ]
...things that are almost exclusively associated with living, it doesn't make sense. It makes me wonder: what if these aren't ghosts at all?
no subject
If they're not ghosts, what do you think they are, then? Memories?
no subject
[ cough cough ]
There's a fellow here whose abilities have to do with time. I'm not saying this is related to him in any way, but it just made me think... perhaps we're glimpsing the past somehow.
no subject
Actually, that goes a long way in explaining why they haven't seemed to notice us at all. We weren't around in this town's past.
no subject
[ He shrugs, frowning. ]
That said, I still don't think we should spend too much time around them. Although nothing we do seems to affect them, one can't assume the reverse is true.
no subject
... Romance.
ugh nice html fail up there
[ He winks. ]
I'll sleep on the floor. Don't worry, no stripping required!
no subject
Well, thanks! If Saber's there, I feel a lot better.
no subject
[ He smiles. Maiden Nero is a flower who prefers...other flowers. But he sees no reason to point that out. ]
That’s fine. Come by whenever you like. I’m at [ address ].
