[MEME] OH NO A GHOST

[wolfintheattic]

OKAY LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS.
I wanna play a ghost. Below are some prompts.
I'm not super picky about setting or 'verse.

A- Your character is a paranormal investigator, an obnoxious tv show host, or is otherwise exploring an area that is said to be haunted for whatever reason. Maybe it's a dare.

B- My character's ghost just SHOWS UP in your character's home. Did your character buy some haunted shit off ebay? Maybe my character died nearby or was summoned via Ouija board by some stupid teenagers at that party you hosted last month. Either way, you got yourself a haunted house now. Congrats.

C- Your character is also a ghost. Maybe they died together. Maybe my character is new to this whole being dead thing and yours shows them the ghostly ropes. Maybe it's the other way around. Either way, ghost adventures are had. _{Not currently looking for new PLSs with this plot!}

D- Your character is a necromancer-type-person and has summoned mine's spirit to do their bidding.

E- Your character is an exorcist and is here to shoo mine out of their current haunt or otherwise help them move on.

F- Our characters are friends. Mine died and has returned to hang out/help/finish some business with yours.

G- Your character moves into the house mine is currently haunting. EXCUSE U.

H- POSSESSION. It happened somehow.

IF A CHARACTER YOU WANT TO MEET IS MISSING, LET ME KNOW.

<sub>[Almost! Almost! He's almost within reach of one of Eddy's arms. And then the chilly hurricane comes and Roman goes tumbling backwards like a leaf, on past the grizzly scene with the flashing lights and the blood splatters. It's then that he actually gets a good look at what used to be him.]

[If he had a stomach, it would have clenched. Good thing ghosts can't barf. The scene is horrible, but what Eddy says is almost just as bad! He whips his head around to stare, owl-eyed at the other boy.]</sub>[There are CANNIBAL GHOSTS? Everything is happening so much. Welp. This is once place Roman decides he doesn't want to be. It's time to run. Or something like running. Roman half jogs, half swims on past the carnage into the trees. Oh, God, he has no idea what he's doing h e l p.]

[Well, it's not eat so much as absorb. But eating was close enough.

Wow, you are so bad at this, Roman. Eddy floats after him at a leisurely pace]

Why are you swimming? Just move. You're very bad at this... I will help you learn. And then I will eat you.

[because incompetent ghosts don't taste good]

[neighborofthebeast]

_{[Roman wasn't treated to a cinematic retelling of his life's story when he died. No, he got the JAWS theme.]}

I don't want anything from you! Leave me alone!

_{[Aaaand he's upside down again.]}

[chillywhispers]

[Hey, you win some, you lose some. And now you have a cannibal senpai.

He reminds Eddy of those videos of astronauts in space, spinning helplessly in zero gravity. It was very much like that. Yes.

He circles Roman for a moment before nudging him back into an upright position]

Floating is fine... but you should do it better....

[neighborofthebeast]

<sub>[He's not fast enough to keep up with Eddy as he circles him, very much like a shark. His...teeth sort of look like a shark too.]

[That settles it. Eddy's name is Jaws now.]

[Suddenly the world rights itself. He flings his arms out and rows them in place until he grows steady again. Okay. Okay, he could adapt to this. He's always been adaptable. Plus he has a..........guide........]

[He's so going to get eaten.]</sub>

Uh. Thanks...I guess. Sorry, everything's happening so much. Am I really dead? Are we dead?

[chillywhispers]

[he likes that movie. He will accept this nickname.

In return, you are Roadkill. Hello Roadkill.]

I am dead. You are... [he looks at the mess that used to be Roman] Also dead. Very messy dead. Sad for your parents... very sad.

[neighborofthebeast]

<sub>[--his parents! Oh God no his parents!]

[That does it. That pulls out the cork. Roman's eyes well up with ecto-tears and he promptly loses his shit.]</sub>

[chillywhispers]

[hahaaaaa. His parents... Eddy's parents, he remembers them. They died too. The same night. With the same gun, by the same hand. It was many many years ago but he'll never forget.

He... actually understands this sadness. He's not a comforter, but he does give him distance]

They will be sad... then they will move on... everyone dies.

[neighborofthebeast]

<sub>[AND SO.]

[Roman has himself a good long cry about the unfairness of what has happened to him. And what could possibly continue to happen considering all the unnerving things Eddy's been saying. Eventually his sobs slow to miserable hiccups and then there are no tears at all. The only people left at the scene are those cleaning the road.]</sub>

This sucks. I was gonna be a math t-teacher.
