potentially considering games...

[spalding]

You are actually giving this serious thought, Mun? Come now. This is foolish.

No, do not even suggest I am afraid. I'm a ghost. What's there left to fear after death? Besides, I have a Coven to look after. There are new students now. Will their precious guard dog masquerading as a butler know the intricacies of the house? How to prepare meals, do laundry? No. He's nothing more than a useless, pretty zombie.

. . . I am not jealous. I'm a Watcher. There's no need for petty emotions, especially now.

Allow me to redirect you back to the topic at hand: games. Where would I even fit in? Who would want me? And what about my dolls, hm? I'd prefer to not leave them behind.

We've had ghosts. In New Dodge. One of them even worked for me.

[spalding]

[Now isn't that a lovely bit of irony.]

A servant in life, and one in death. It seems appropriate. [Pause. Despite the sarcasm, he is intrigued.] What's this 'New Dodge'?

[denokandafaran]

A space colony. Sign up for six months, you get an acre of land.

Plenty of room for dolls, living or...otherwise.

[Just a small smile here. He likes you. Not in a 'I want to collect you' way, more of a 'You understand' way.]

Hm. That's... of potential interest. Any, ah, shall I say, familiar faces present?

[denokandafaran]

Not at the moment, but they do come in from time to time. And I've heard rumors of possibilities.

[laceandfringeshawl]

Trying to fit anywhere's what gets people to where they don't belong. I suppose then I should take my own advice.

[He remembers you. And your bagel thievery. >:[ But, aside from that, you were... decent by comparison.]

Of this I am aware. But it seems I no longer have a place to call 'home' any more. [A small pause.] My condolences on your failed Seven Wonders.

[laceandfringeshawl]

[It's your fault for making sure that there were such delicious bagels so readily available okay?]

Home's where you feel comfortable, wanted and safe.

[Ow. That.]

I'll be back. I just. I had to do something. But I'll be back. I don't kill God's creatures. They'd never pay mind to anybody if we'd leave em be.

[spalding]

[Just a small nod of understanding. He doesn't judge, only gives assistance where its needed.]

Death seems to be a minor setback, nothing more, I've discovered. If there is a way for you to come back, then you shall.

[Or you won't, and you'll just. Stay dead. Stranger things have happened. Anyway, it's no difference to him.]

As for actually taking another's life, hm. Each to their own.

[laceandfringeshawl]

I can. I will. I done it before. So really there's no reason why I couldn't.

[She thinks. She hopes. Gulp.]

People gotta do what they gotta do, I really think animals should be kept outta it. Simple as that. We got choices. They don't.
