Two thousand... (Lucretia breathes, and floats away for a moment on a little draft of wind, reclining onto her back as she drifts. So it's been that long. How strange, that time slides away from her this easily while she's living through the house. Decades passing her by, and her half-asleep and unaware, stretching her subconsciously slowly through rotting walls and floorboards in an attempt to occupy her thoughts.)

I didn't know. (She flips back around and comes closer to him, curious again. He keeps looking at the edges of her, like he's trying to figure out how she works, how she's come to be there at all. Lucretia doesn't mind: humans are like this. Unable to take anything supernatural at face value, always trying to come up with a way to make everything fit logically. It's sweet of them, really.)

People used to see me all the time, (she offers, shrugging,) but the last time somebody saw me was in the 1980s. Encounters are few and far between. Nobody comes to see me any more.

(Forgive her for asking, because this is all before her time but:) Who is Jennifer Love Hewitt? (a famous ghost-seer, perhaps!!!)

(Lucretia shrugs a shoulder, her gaze trailing away and out the window.)

Nope. Honestly, I'm surprised nobody has come to knock the house down. (Forgotten too much even for that. Her smile fades.)

Of course I know what TV is. I'm not that old.

(Honestly, it's okay that he's being rude. Lucretia's been so devoid of conversation that she'd probably take somebody yelling at the top of their lungs at her (though not well, admittedly). Besides, she can tell that he's scared of her, and that helps immensely.)

It wasn't my house, (she starts, tucking her legs up comfortably underneath her so she's hovering cross-legged before him. Her hands come to rest in her lap. He's staring at her the whole while.) I died here, and nobody else came. I thought somebody would, but I suppose it was abandoned long before I came across it. So I decided I'd have it, if nobody else wanted it.

(This is logic Taako, pure and simple.) But I think I'm stuck here because of that? I've tried going other places but it's... hard. (She frowns at her hands, reaches to push her glasses up the bridge of her nose.) It takes a lot of energy. Are you going to answer my questions too or is this just a one sided thing? I want to know why you're here.

(She nods slowly, letting her gaze slowly drift up towards the ceiling as he talks, reclining onto her back. This is sapping her of energy, actually. It's been a long time since she's spoken to anybody; it's like she's been dormant, hibernating in the house and Taako has just woken her up. She's still bleary eyed and dozy.

At least he's easy to listen to, even though he switches subject matter very fast.)


Hi Taako, (she says listlessly, and then,) woah, back up. (She rolls slowly over to face him, propping up her elbows on nothing and chinning her hands.) I don't know Internet. Where is that? Is is nearby?

(He does a supernatural show, huh. To scare other people? Is he planning on including her in the show? Is he going to take a video of her or something.) Uh, (she says, and decides to just ignore whatever the fuck 'Vocaloid' means,) that's cool, and all, but I'm very sure that I don't show up for everybody. I don't know if you could film me and have it seen by an audience?

[personal profile] scholiast 2018-03-29 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe treat me with some respect, then.

(Not that he's going to: case in point, he doesn't seem to have listened to anything that she just said. About showing up on film at all? Lucretia doesn't really care, though. As previously stated she's desperate for the company so... beggars cannot be choosers. Besides, the sheer gall of his approach is making her laugh. Whenever she chuckles, the house sighs.

There's certainly a lurid appeal to putting her presence out there... it would change things drastically if people knew she was in here. She quiets then, thinking hard.)


I mean... hypothetically if I said 'yes', what would you do next? What would I have to do? (What if people flocked to the house in order to see her and they ruined it? It's old. It wouldn't stand that kind of attention. What would happen to her if harm came to it?)

(To be fair, even if Lucretia weren't so intricately tied to the house he still wouldn't be talking to a person. Just a ghost. Lucretia's never seen herself as particularly threatening before; but then she's never had cause to be, either. So she watches him pace curiously. He's putting a lot more thought into all of this than she thought that he might and while she'd initially been intrigued by the plan it's starting to feel like... a lot, maybe. All she wants is conversation; she doesn't want to be exposed. Especially not in an embarrassing way like Taako is suggesting.

Lucretia opens her mouth hesitantly.)


I don't know, I think... (but her words trail off into nothing, because he's still going, still babbling away. Lucretia can understand that some of it is nerves and anticipation of the gag he's planning but she won't stand for being ignored. Not when he's talking about her like that! She stares at him for a while longer, then gathers herself up and says,)

Stop, (over the top of him and the sound comes from every corner of the house. A little wave of indignant energy makes all the windows rattle in their frames; the floor shakes once, a light, frustrated roll underneath of Taako's feet. Into the silence that follows, Lucretia swells, growing a little larger until she's impossible for him to discount.)

I don't want to do that. I just want to talk to you, and– your sister. That would be fine.

[personal profile] scholiast 2018-04-13 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
I was trying, but you weren't listening to me.

(Now that she's made her point though, she's returned to her usual size, and the house has stopped its various carrying on. Everything is very still, and silent.

She regards him in silence for a long moment. He doesn't seem all that cocky any more. Now he just seems startled, uncertain. Lucretia deflates. She's scared him properly now, and he won't go away and bring his sister back. He'll leave entirely and he'll write off the house as a do not disturb zone in his mind and he'll forget about her. She'll have to go back to sleep in the floorboards for another couple decades. Maybe longer.)


I'm sorry, (she says hesitantly, lowering a little so she can address him at eye level, shrinking back near one of the walls.) I'm not– I just want to talk. Please don't go.

[personal profile] scholiast 2018-04-26 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
Okay.

(She's silent for a moment, as if giving him a chance to bolt out of the room. She wouldn't hold it against him if he did. She's been too audacious. When he doesn't run away, she slowly creeps out of her hiding place in the corner of the house and comes to sit near him, keen to play the part. No more scaring. From now on she is Casper the Friendly Ghost.)

I'd... love to know more. Whatever you want to tell me. You said it's 2018, right? What is living in 2018 like?

It wasn't anything, (she admits, reaching out to touch her fingers to the screen of his phone. This of course is a pointless gesture because she can't physically touch anything; it's the thought that counts.)

What... is this? (She takes a moment to read all the little titles of the squares on the homepage, then looks at the picture behind it all. The two people in the picture look very similar to each other; this must be Taako and his sister. She's laughing at the camera, her arm thrown around Taako's shoulders, their cheeks smashed together affectionately. It makes Lucretia smile, too.)

She looks like fun.
scholiast: <user name=najsigt site=tumblr.com> (★ pardonne)

[personal profile] scholiast 2018-05-10 10:48 am (UTC)(link)
She looks better, (Lucretia says offhandedly, shrugging a translucent shoulder. What? She's dead, she can say whatever she wants, consequences don't exist.

Coming a little closer, she hovers precariously over his shoulder to watch him flick across the homepage screens. She's very careful not to accidentally merge into him, because she's heard that it's cold. Sometimes she passes through people that can't see her just to watch them stop and shiver, maybe rub their arms. Leaving a mark any way she possibly can.

Watching him open up different apps is so interesting and curious, but when he holds down the button at the bottom center and holds it out to her however, she immediately blanks.)


Um... (What are you supposed to ask one of these things? Lucretia clears her throat awkwardly.) Uh– how are you?
scholiast: <user name=snuffysbox site=tumblr.com> (★ point and click baby)

[personal profile] scholiast 2018-05-23 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, (she says stupidly while Taako laughs, trying not to get embarrassed. How's she supposed to know it isn't like a robot, or that it doesn't have its own personality?? She's out of her depth, here! At least she's cleared whatever tension was left lingering in the space between them. At least she made him laugh.

She watches Taako reset the device, trying to think of what she should ask it. As always, can't quite resist being petty, so when he holds it out to her, she folds her arms, and raises an eyebrow.)


What's the dictionary definition of smart-ass?
scholiast: <user name=whyskalker site=tumblr.com> (★ where are you now)

[personal profile] scholiast 2018-05-30 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
(She looks very pleased with herself, though her expression immediately shifts to astonished as the phone immediately parrots a reply to her. So it works like a dictionary? He said that it answers fact questions too, didn't he? And he's been carrying something like that around in his pocket?)

A cell phone, (she echoes, instantly curious.)

Can you tell me more? What else does it do?
scholiast: <user name=ladygrit site=tumblr.com> (★ oh worm)

[personal profile] scholiast 2018-06-10 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
Okay: what doesn't it do?

(She really wants to just– take it from him and look at it cuz he's wavering it all over the place as he talks, gesturing with his hands. She can't hold anything though. Nothing material, in any case. It's so frustrating.)

Tell me what Twitter is, (she says, loudly and clearly. She's trying to ask the phone. When nothing happens, she quickly adds,) please.
