Video: un; apparition (CW: underage drinking, teen marriage/childbirth, depression)

[unphase]

[unlike her usual status, sitting a warmly lit room and looking bright-eyed and alert, Tinya's looking weary, dark circles under her eyes and even more pale than usual, limp in her armchair. she's still dressed and made-up Just So, but her kittens are mewing fretfully while Carmilla flutters around her.

and Moonlight stands in front of her, tail puffed up to twice its usual size, the look on her face pretty much screaming "fuck around and find out"

Tinya's holding a mostly empty whisky decanter, its stopper looking like it rolled to a halt absent-mindedly]

If it's not...too very personal. And I know it might be. But. Have you seen them? I can't be the only one who's seeing them, right?

Right?

Comments

[lefthemisphere]

Right now, about...twenty.

[unphase]

That's terrible. A terrible number of ghosts to be tormented by. Mine aren't so many, but some are people I never wanted to see again.

[lefthemisphere]

I'm surprised there aren't more, honestly.

[unphase]

May I ask why so many?

[lefthemisphere]

When you're piloting a 250ft tall robot and battling kaiju, there's some collateral. I only recognize a couple of them, so I'm guessing the rest are people that got caught in the way.

[unphase]

I'm sorry. That must be difficult to cope with. Do you need help with them?

[lefthemisphere]

Like, getting rid of them?

/takes place after the thread with Viktor because I can timeline!

[unphase]

Yes. I know how to, now. It's not easy, but it's works. Though, I should ask you what type of blood you have first, it has to have two different blood types.

[lefthemisphere]

if you can banish these fuckers, that'd be great

uh, I'm a darkblood. you?

[unphase]

I want to. Isn't that the nature of kindness? When given, return it?

I'm a Coldblood, so it seems as though we are in business.

Where should I find you?

[lefthemisphere]

yeah.

[ whatever she says, really. ]

I live way the fuck out in Feed, but I can come in closer if that's easier.

[unphase]

Okay.

Mind sending directions? I'm not too sure of my navigation outside of town?

[and nonsense about him coming to her, the least she can do is come to him]

[lefthemisphere]

sure -- if you can get to a lamp friend, just picture a big ol fuck off farmhouse. I think we're the only one out here, and we've got my little lamp right outside the front door. should be pretty easy

[unphase]

I can do that. I'll be on my way, so I'll see you soon.

[with her, she takes a bowl, a small but sharp knife, and bandages.

when she gets to the door, she knocks, saying] Hello? It's me, Tinya!

[lefthemisphere]

[ He's a little dirty from being in the garden, but when he opens the door he flashes a wan smile, opening it wider. ]

Chuck Hansen. C'mon in.

[unphase]

[and she looks decidedly pale, taking her already fair complexion into an almost ghostly white, but she's powering through anyway]

It's very nice to meet you, Chuck. Thank you.

[and she goes inside the farmhouse] Now. This will require the ghosts to all be here to get rid of them. It's--it's not fun, but the ritual itself is fairly easy. Though, you might want to sit down, just in case.

[lefthemisphere]

I'm pretty sure they're all here.

[ He obeys, settling down at his kitchen table, a little nervous but very, very eager to get rid of these spirits. ]

Do I need to do anything?

[unphase]

All right. As awful and traumatic as it is, good. They shouldn't be here for much longer.

[she goes over to the table and sits in the chair next to his, pulling a knife, a small bottle of sanitizing liquid, and a bowl out of a bag. she sits the bowl between them, then sanitizes the knife]

You'll need to take the bowl, make a cut somewhere so your blood will go into the bowl, then give the bowl to me and I'll do the same. Those are the first steps.
