Need a costume for that Halloween party you'll be going to at the end of the month, but can't come up with any ideas? Got too many ideas and not enough time to review them all? Then have I got the post for you! Tell this genuine ghoul your costume woes, and get expert advice in all things spooky back.

Of course, my expertise comes with a small fee of 100 Chroma for each costume recommendation. [ suspicious? maybe. ] But you can't win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket, right? So come on! Give it a try. I promise you won't be disappointed!

highly doubt im going to be able to go out with it but im curious
ill take the bait
what do i gotta tell you first like my deepest darkest secret or?

[hauhra]

You do get a free consultation, yes. However, the final recommendation will cost you 100 Chroma.

All I need to know to get started is your interests. What do you like to do for fun, or what kind of characters do you like? Do you have a specific category in mind, like funny or licensed characters? That can all help me narrow your options down.

[itsknighttime]

cool
i just didnt know what to tell you
uhhhh
interests...
i like music i like photography but that shits on the back burner i like cool swords
weapons of any hand to hand kind i guess
i like drawing
i like ironic characters and i have no clue about a category
somethin scary would be cool i was only ever a ghost for halloween and ive been around enough ghosts to know those bitches arent scary

[[Or.]]

ok some of them but not for conventional reasons

[hauhra]

[ them's fightin words, dave. but bakura will keep his cool for the cash, maybe. ]

Maybe you just haven't met the right ghost.

[itsknighttime]

[[Fighting words are his favourite words. That is a lie, he hates fighting unnecessarily.]]

oh
ok true i should have #notallghosts but most of them havent exactly startled me with more than their ability to talk me to death
i mean mostly
which i didnt die so i guess thats a them problem not a me problem

[hauhra]

That's because most earthbound spirits have some kind of unfinished business, and that unfinished business is generally more important than scaring the living.

However, scaring mortals can sometimes be part of reaching our goals. It all depends on the ghost, of course. #notallghosts

[ he's definitely projecting. because he also talks people to death. awful. ]

[itsknighttime]

huh
i guess kind of they did have
sort of
not really but they came in handy
i never thought about it like that

wait OUR?
youre going to tell me youre a ghost arent you?

[hauhra]

Yes, and that's where my expertise comes in.

The undead are naturally going to know more about being a spook than the living. We have to do it year round, after all.

[itsknighttime]

oh wow
would you look at that
theres that taste again
mmm mm
yummy foot in my mouth
my fuckin favourite

so im not a complete fuckin tool is that what you prefer? undead or like is there some other way?

[hauhra]

Were this my home world, ghost would be an apt description.

Here, however, revenant is technically more accurate.

[itsknighttime]

revenant also sounds more badass if you ask me
you didnt but im saying it under the guise of easier way to say it and not sound like i have no opinion
i mean i do and dont have no opinion
but you get it
im sure

ok so cool revenant i can do that
revenant who im sending over that shit right now for you

[hauhra]

It does, though I do miss being able to flicker the lights and respond to humans with whispers and knocks. That kind of haunting is the most fun, but it's also a lot less scary when you're corporeal and look just like them.

Still, watching humans slowly start to realize that you're dead can be fun, too.

[itsknighttime]

now youre just fucking with me
which is fine i get it
but some little piece of me wants to believe you were off fuckin with people just like that
or rustling clothes
or a waltzing robe
or in a mirror
or oozing walls or something

man
ive met dead people who would disagree but you should be a motivational speaker for the dead because you dont sound boring dead you sound fun dead

[[There is now a fun dead.]]

[hauhra]

Whoops! You caught me.

But don't worry; I still have plenty of ghost cred, or whatever it is you kids are calling it these days.

My spirit was once tethered to an item, you see. However, that item was cursed even before it became my seemingly permanent home.

You see, over the years, all sorts of horrible things happened to everyone who's ever tried to wear it... death, souls being burned to a crisp, possession... you name it. And of course, my own attachment to it made it that much spookier as well...
