Did one of y'all leave a window open last night or am I a ghost now

Austin. What the heck now.

Open windows is how you get literate and mean-spirited wildlife.

EJBs

[butterbear]

I don't think any windows are open. I'm pretty toasty. And Max knows how to use the door.

Cool, guess that means I'm a ghost then. Death is colder than I expected.

EJBs

[professionalcorpse]

yes, but can you walk though walls?

EJBs

[soundscaped]

Only when no one's watching.

EJBs

[professionalcorpse]

i mean, that's both fair and very thoughtful of you. anybody'd be super jealous of your ability to pull a shadowcat.

Seems like it might be rude to just pop through a wall and scare the shit out of whoever the fuck's unlucky enough to be on the other side too. Like maybe that's against ghost etiquette, I don't know, the orientation kind of sucks.

EJBs

i guess that depends on what kind of ghost you want to be - the kind people enjoy having around their homes and will build entire bed & breakfast experiences around or the kind that people try to exorcise using priests and/or a whole lot of hoodoo.

The first option seems like a lot of pressure. The second option sounds like it'd hurt my feelings.

I should probably ask Dale.

EJBs

dale's got the whole thing figured out. unliving in that sweet spot between being funny and being sort of creepy and vaguely irritating.

he'd probably have some excellent advice if you could get a straight answer out of him.

EJBs

[soundscaped]

I'm pretty sure his advice is something along the lines of "party harder."

Which I never tried in life, but I'm willing to give a shot now that I'm a cursed ghost.

EJBs

[professionalcorpse]

he keeps it simple and straightforward.

i mean, fair. it's not like you can die AGAIN.

EJBs

[soundscaped]

How do you think I died?

EJBs

[professionalcorpse]

very localized gas-leak? spider crawling into your brain? infrasound vortex?

EJBs

[soundscaped]

Do you think Cole crawled into my brain and laid eggs

EJBs

[professionalcorpse]

can male spiders lay eggs?

i think it'd be more likely that he'd crawl into your brain and make a really pretty design.

I'm an artist, not a scientist, don't ask me hard questions.

I mean, there's worse ways to go.

EJBs

[professionalcorpse]

i'm guessing no. just, y'know - due to general gender trends and shit. science is not my forte either.

your death would be tragic, but beautiful.

EJBs

[butterbear]

You're not dead. Dead kids don't write in the journals. Or else we'd have to listen to them all the time.

So what's going on?

EJBs

[soundscaped]

Our current dead kids were never assigned journals. There's no precedence for this. Maybe I'll have one forever now that I definitely not growing up.

Just froze my ass off for exactly all goddamn night. Maybe I died from pneumonia.
