oh crap i guess i did that too?? hahaha.

[ragingnature]

Really? What kind did you do?

[machizumo]

I kicked ass.

[ragingnature]

So you worked security?

[machizumo]

something like that. handled aggressive demon situations with a classmate who got dragged into that shit.
'handled' most means 'fought.'

[ragingnature]

That's interesting. Very different from home, though.

[machizumo]

Yeah I guess calling it an internship might be a little

not correct
but OH WELL.

[ragingnature]

Heh.

I mostly meant the whole aggressive demon situations. We don't have that kind of problem back home. Maybe aggressive shade situations.

Shades are souls of the dead, btw.

[machizumo]

so like ghosts? Ghosts are a different problem. Pain in the ass though.

[ragingnature]

Yeah. We have a whole system in place but I guess sometimes they get a little rowdy.

[ Or she stumbles into a place she shouldn't be and riles them up without meaning to. Really she probably shouldn't be in the Underworld, to begin with. ]

[machizumo]

i don't know if rowdy's the right word where i'm from. i guess you'd have to ask a spirit guide.

I don't actually deal with ghosts a whole lot i just try to avoid them. they're super creepy.

[ragingnature]

I don't think they're creepy but they can be a little overwhelming at times.

[machizumo]

Yeah in a real creepy way
Or maybe our ghosts are different, too.
But most of the ones I've felt and seen have been pretty uncool.

[ragingnature]

That's possible. Do your ghosts speak?

[machizumo]

Sometimes but they aren't like holding conversations or anything
they usually just got a line or two like it's something they're stuck on. If anything.

[ragingnature]

I see. The few I've come into contact with seemed pretty intelligent. Though I'm not sure if that's because they were in the Underworld, as if the place helps keep them grounded.

[machizumo]

yeah I don't know the ins and outs. I've only dealt with one ghost that ACTUALLY DID STUFF I guess and he wasn't a ghost for very long.

Most of em just hang around being spooky. I don't know if they ever get to resolve their issues.

[ragingnature]

How does that work?

That's kind of sad. The ghost hanging around and unable to move on for whatever reason.

[machizumo]

He dies but wasn't supposed to and had to do all this shit to get not-dead. now he works for the spirit world. Which is where the internship bit from earlier comes in.

either way, yeah. I guess that is sad. Maybe I should try to figure out what the deal with them is.

[ragingnature]

Oh. So the power to return the dead to life exists in your world?

It wouldn't hurt.

[machizumo]

I guess but the circumstance have to be pretty specific i think.

And I feel like it could possibly hurt a lot so

[ragingnature]

Huh...

Why would it hurt a lot?

[machizumo]

Trying to figure out why ghosts are hanging around I mean. What if they make good on their threats and come after you?

[ragingnature]

I didn't realize they made threats...

Perhaps it would be better to leave them be then. Surely someone else is more equipped to help them.
