This random guy from her science class thinks ghosts are creepy in a cool, edgy way and is happy to show his sister's kitten to one.

Permalink

Oh good! Can he come today?

Permalink

Sure. It'll be interesting. If she seems responsive he might ask a couple of questions about magic, think that's okay?

Permalink

Probably, she seemed cool about that kind of thing.

He shows up at the park's entrance at five. With a little basket and a zip-lock bag of tiny globs of meat.

"Mew?" Asks the kitten.

Permalink

"Mew," she agrees, and leads the way.

Permalink

The ghost is in the same spot. She turns to glance at Sadde and kitten guy. "Hello... Do I know you?"

Permalink

"Yes, I came here to talk to you yesterday. I promised I'd bring you a kitten." She gestures in the vague direction of the boy and the kitten.

Permalink

"That... Makes sense. Yes. Thank you for returning."

Permalink

"Do you want to hold it? ...can you?"

Permalink

"No. But she's cute."

"How'd you know it's a girl?" The guy asks.

"Fur patterns like that are very rare in male felines."

"Huh. Neat."

Ghostly nod.

Permalink

She smiles. "I didn't know you knew much about cats."

Permalink

"I didn't either. I think learned information not attached to my sense of self is more lasting. I remember medical school."

Permalink

"I see. What other cool stuff do you know?"

Permalink

"...About cats?"

Permalink

"Well, cats, if you wanna talk about cats, or maybe other things if not."

Permalink

"Nothing springs to mind."

Permalink

"Do you remember things about magic? My friend wanted to ask you about it."

Permalink

Her friend glances at her nervously. He's a bit more freaked out by the ghost than he bargained for.

"Using one's magic is largely intuitive. Though if you aspire to become a Spirit Bearer, you should practice spear work."

"Why's that?"

"We can each manifest a weapon - a spear is the template. It's extremely damaging to monsters."

Permalink

"Do you know why?"

Permalink

"That's just how it is."

Permalink

"It's weird. I should figure it out."

Permalink

"I don't think it will be easy. Perhaps it'll be worth it."

Permalink

"If there's a more fundamental reason than 'it's just how it is,' then it can perhaps be generalized and used to more effectively fight them."

Permalink

"One can change one's weapon. It's difficult. I never bothered."
