[Psychic Bridge I] Jaunt -> Walkabout

[notadisappointment]

Hey guys. Yosuke here, live from the Jaunt. I wanted to check in and see how you were doing over there? Or well, check if we had a walkabout, you know. Sadly, I don't have the ability to bring anyone with me, so it's just me, but I can tell anything you want to the people who I can on this side.

We're definitely doing movies. So far, everything's been going according to plan. What are you guys up to?

That's good, at least.

... Pretty sure there's a ghost around, but I'm not worried. I'm used to dealing with those.

[As long as it's not Harrogate-style ghosts, they'll be fine.]

[grimjeaper]

Oh, hey. You noticed him too, huh?

[helborn]

I think so. Though from glimpses I'm not sure if it's a guy... might be a girl. I don't want to scare anyone off, though.

[grimjeaper]

Eh, it's probably not either at this point anymore. Things that attach to hosts lose their own sense of identity pretty quickly if they don't have anything to ground themselves with.

[Speaking from experience.]

[helborn]

... Are we talking about the same ghost? I saw one up in the rafters and it seemed pretty humanlike. I've known a lot of ghosts that have their own identity...

[grimjeaper]

... I haven't seen any in the rafters, but there's one following some big dude around, he's fully aware of her. I think they're father and daughter.

N-no, I was referring to this one necromantic thing latching on to one of the people staying at the inn.

[helborn]

Yeah, that's the one I meant...

[His 'voice' trails off, and when it returns there's a hard note to it.]

I need to take a look at that. Can't believe I missed it...

[grimjeaper]

I mean, it's literally my job to notice illegal use of necromancy, so I'm not gonna fault you. Plus, y'know, professional interest.

Seems like it was the accountant guy sitting in the lounge - he's got pretty telltale signs of necrotic decay. Probably late-stage, if the lich doesn't leave him soon then he'll be dead in half a week, and that's generous.

[helborn]

... You're the only lich I've dealt with, but dragging souls who won't go to the underworld is my job at home. Part of it, at least.

I'll have to go look for him... I think I got too excited about the cool fantasy inn.

[grimjeaper]

Oh, t-that's not a lich thing, I'm a grim reaper too.

It is a pretty nice inn. I've seen some like it back on the world I've been living on before this, but this place is very nice.

[notadisappointment]

Now your side is starting to sound like a haunted inn mystery.

[helborn]

I think that's not inaccurate, actually.

[notadisappointment]

Good luck over there. If I can, I'll check in on you later during the jaunt. Maybe a few weeks out time.
