maced_eggsCan anyone here understand French?
Only I keep running into ghosts and none of them are speaking any English. Or it's French, right? But it's old, old French. It's fuckin'...Shakespeare French.
Anyway.
No one else is seeing the ghosts?
Of all the fuckin' powers to keep.

The only ones worth paying attention to are the ones that start off with "All my money is buried under a shed in my backyard."

Date: 2014-07-01 07:38 pm (UTC)Can't. Can't hurt them. They can't hurt us. They're jus'...not corporeal. You can put your hand through 'em, but they don't feel it.
What? Why'd he bring me here? Because I can touch souls?

What d'you mean, you can touch souls?
no subject
Date: 2014-07-01 07:44 pm (UTC)Well, how d'you expect to get them out of the bodies if you don't touch them?

Date: 2014-07-01 07:49 pm (UTC)They see you, though. But mostly they're preoccupied with being dead. Comes as a bit of a shock, if you can imagine.

Date: 2014-07-01 08:00 pm (UTC)Ha! Yeah, but only 'cause I was paid to shoot 'em if they got on my nerves. How'd you land that job anyway?
no subject
Date: 2014-07-01 08:05 pm (UTC)Was selected for it. You die, an' if a reaper's just been retired, you take his place.

Date: 2014-07-02 11:41 pm (UTC)Your job sounds like luck of the draw; there's no skill set you have to have?
no subject
Date: 2014-07-03 09:36 am (UTC)No. None at all. Which is lucky because I was never much able to hold down a job while I was alive, neither.

Date: 2014-07-09 08:36 pm (UTC)Well, your chances of getting mugged in a week-long visit are eight-in-ten. Which is down from last year. The Barge is safe compared to it, so it's been nice, living here. Who knows? A trip to the spa and you might want to take the citizenship test.
