Hey, Adstringendum. I've got a question.

[Rei is sitting in a chair, in Castiel's impromptu study, with a worn book in her hands. An anthology of ghost stories. And, because of simple curiosity:]

Do you believe in ghosts?

[Scientists? What scientists? Fran is going to handle that part.]

Questions aren't going to kill me, Ed.

I'm fine.

[flameandpassion]

[ ... hn.]

The only thing we can do is talk it out, I guess.

[flameandpassion]

So you put them to rest?

[video]

[flameandpassion]

Many. I've grown up with the ability to communicate with them.

[Hrn.]

There were dead bodies, down there.

[A morbid thought, but something that's sticking with her.]

[magicxmarker.livejournal.com]

Well if I'm hired to. Though I guess I do some charity work here and there.

[More like all the time, and that's why you're so broke, Hanna.]

But it can be a long process. Some ghosts just don't want to leave because you can't reason with them until you've finished what they started before they died.

[Usagi hasn't been able to shut them out either.]

That's what I meant before. People will try to use it, so we should be careful about what we say.

[Even for her, it's not hard to see that 'people really die somewhere' will result in people who want it as a way out... and people who want to be rid of enemies.]

[greatcuppajoe.livejournal.com]

That's a pretty big buildin', if I'm rememberin' it right. It must be a lot.

[Pausing thoughtfully.] Warriors, huh?

So...

[such a long pause]

...they are real? In your world at least. What about here?

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

[He shrugs. Nathaniel isn't about to point out that spirits may just as easily have influenced her world- he doesn't want any backlash.]

And in mine, it isn't. It seems to simply be a difference of realities.

[flameandpassion]

Or certain things haven't been discovered yet in either.

[She is stubborn to the last. But she acknowledges his point with half a grin, and a wave of her hand.]

Regardless, the ideas are interesting.

A lot of people here still don't believe.

[knew-anyway.livejournal.com]

'Still?'

[Raising an eyebrow.]

I haven't seen any ghosts here yet- simply spirits with no master.

[flameandpassion]

Assuming that most people are taking the word to mean the same thing.

[A slight amend.]

A lot of people don't believe in life after death.

... shinigami? What kind of shinigami?

[sadistsword.livejournal.com]

And if they didn't believe in them?

[saintedsinner]

Fine. Whatever.

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

Hmm.

What was it with your question about ghosts, anyway?

[video]

[whatthefactor.livejournal.com]

I personally dig the term Noise Fodder. You could call them Souls of the deceased, but that also sounds like garbage. CRUNCH!

You found the tunnels?

Hmm..[Ami held her chin in thought, trying to remember what she knew of Western paranormal lore.]

The Greek myths tend to have more structure to them, at least as far as characterization goes, it seems.

[Ami knew her fair share of Greek mythology, if for anything, to better understand Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle.]

And American ghost stories seem to lack the background to make their ghost stories all that believable. [If you can believe ghost stories at all, really.]

[video]

[ragebending.livejournal.com]

It is.

But it's better to let them go rather than dwell on the past. ( As hard as that is. )

[saucey]

I suppose so. Naruto's scared shitless of them. [Might have maybe tried to take advantage of that one mission....]

[Nods]

I remember you talking about him around the time I had first arrived. Still, I don't think I've spoken with him. Though I haven't been on the network much these days.

[Botan knows people that do similar things to what Hitsu does, so she gets it. Also, Rei gets along with a bunch of people that aren't Lucifer or absolute dicks. Even then...]

[bunny_flower]

Well, given the amount of reiastu a lot of people have here, that might not be true. But it would have been a hassle to have people without proper bodies around, I am sure.

Threadjack, yo!

[bunny_flower]

And what is wrong and laughable with a higher plane of existence, Mandrake-san?

[Seriously, John, it looks like you can't open your mouth without saying something insensitive. And Unohana has a lot of patience.]
