I don't know, I haven't inhabited something so small before.

(She's still looking at the little bit of wood; she reaches out with her subconscious to gently poke it... the ghost equivalent of dipping your toe into a pool. Hmmm.

And then she just jumps right in, disappearing from his field of view until she's fit herself into the sliver of house resting innocently on his palm. Okay, this isn't so bad. It's cramped, sure, but in a cozy way? And if this actually gets her outside then it will all be worth it. Maybe if he puts it down somewhere she can come 99% of the way back out of it and loophole the haunting laws that way, or whatever.)


Okay, (she says, and then,) can you still hear me?

(Her voice feels smaller, a bit muffled.)

(Oh, just a little bit huh. Lucretia is starting to feel vaguely panicked about whether this is a good idea or not. This house is the only thing she's known for all she can remember, what if... what if she just disappears forever once Taako removes her from it?)

Wait, (she says as he reaches the bottom of the stairs, a nervous little squeak of noise sounding from the piece of wood. She's not getting cold feet, she's not, she just wants a moment to kind of... center herself. She's merged with this place over the years, so she has to make sure she isn't leaving anything behind.)

Yes, that's... more or less the idea, I suppose. Can you wait a minute though?

It's fine.

(It's comforting actually, like being... held isn't the right word, she really doesn't have any memory left of what that's like, but it feels safe inside Taako's pocket, inside the house. Maybe if he walks out like this she can pretend she's still in there and that'll keep her from falling apart. If she falls apart at all, Lucretia's aware she may be making a huge deal out of absolutely nothing.

She broods in the wood chip for a while, then decides that, uh, you miss one hundred percent of the shots you never take, or whatever. Also this is ridiculous, and she's older than she knows and how is this the scariest thing that's ever happened to her? Answer is: it isn't.)


Okay, (she says, after a beat, puffing herself up as much as she can,) I'm ready. Let's go.

(oh, how kind of him to momentarily hold off on forking her over for mad cash. lucretia will remember this)

I don't know what that means, (Lucretia says easily, clinging to the edges of the wood as best she can as he starts to maneuver his way out of the house through the way he came in. It's interesting to see how he did it. Through the broken doorframe, huh? Humans are so traditional, there are a million windows he could have clambered through on her ground level. No no no, the house's. This isn't her any more, she's... trying something new. She's going somewhere else.)

I don't have any time travel powers, just regular, run of the mill haunting... skills. I'm just assuming all ghosts have those. You remember my lonely little rant, right? (Met no other ghosts before, yadda yadda.)

(lucretia will remember this)

Death magic? (She laughs, but it sounds a little strangled,) I think– wouldn't you associate something like that with malevolent ghosts? I really don't–

(But then he steps out of the house and Lucretia's words fail her, because she feels that separation so keenly in her soul it almost... hurts. It feels like the memory of being wounded. It feels like dying, except that nothing happens to her, and she remains where she is in the wood chip, paralyzed. Dying lite.

Taako's hand joins her in his pocket. She knows he didn't put it there for reassurance, more out of habit, but it's still nice. Lucretia simmers, trying to get used to the floaty feeling of being suddenly disconnected. She realises with a jolt that she has no idea where they're going. The house has been north, south, east and west for her. She can't remember the world beyond it.)


Uh, (she says, and her voice sounds rusty, a little squeak of sound from his pocket.) Yes? I– suppose that I did. Am I still here? Can you still hear me?

(It's long enough for Lucretia's stomach to plummet, so she doesn't laugh in response to his little 'joke', she just puts her face in her hands for a moment and sighs. Hilarious, Taako.)

Yes, I'm 'all good'. (Relatively speaking. She has no idea what he's doing with his phone and headphones because that's all taking place in another pocket and she's too skittish to put a toe outside of the wood chip. Lucretia's pretty sure she could come out, like, whenever, she's just going to wait until they've stopped for a bit or something. That's all.)

Still dead, still... here, some how? Honestly, I have no idea how any of this is working, logically speaking. (Probably best not to question it.) Where exactly are we going?

What exactly do you mean by 'pull something on her'? You mean a prank?

(That's so... childish. Lucretia secretly thinks it sounds kind of fun.) ... What exactly would we do? (She definitely doesn't want to hurt anybody, but something innocent like a scare could be okay.)

I could fog up a mirror, and write on it, (Lucretia chimes in, catching on. This is making her feel a lot better about her current circumstances. It works as a distraction for now, so she's happy to throw herself into the idea of it.)

Or if I moved your arms again, you could pretend not to know what was happening and we could get her that way, too. Honestly, if we're looking to cover our bases, Taako, I feel like we should do a little bit of everything.

[personal profile] scholiast 2019-02-13 11:29 am (UTC)(link)
Are you sure she'll think it's, uh, 'rad'?

(Lucretia knows she just suggested half of this prank, but she can't help but cover all of her bases anyway. She doesn't really want to freak anybody out, at least not seriously.) She won't get very scared, and try to run or anything will she?

(Oh, it's really nice though. Just a little acknowledgement of her being there. Lucretia puts out a little thread of herself, stretching it outside the confines of the splinter and touching his finger with it when he squeezes the wood, but she's not going to tell him she did that and who knows if he would ever notice otherwise.)

It's Lucretia, (she says after a beat, clearing her throat.) But okay. I cannot promise I'll duck if I see a fist though, because there's really no need– I mean, it will just go right through me. So you're on your own, there.

I'm down, though. Where is your bus?

(It feels like they've been travelling so far... in reality, they've been walking for about five minutes, but to Lucretia it feels like an eternity. She can't feel a single inch of the house any more. They have truly left it behind.)

It's only one more syllable, (she protests, but she can tell that isn't really the point, and so she decides she's probably going to give up. Nobody has given her a nickname in... who knows how long. Maybe that's good, maybe that means they can be friends. If anybody would actually want to be friends with a ghost, that is.

Is Taako going to take her back to the house after they finish tricking his sister? A sobering thought. This is the most fun she's had in ages. She falls silent as they keep walking, brooding a little inside of the wood chip and only pipes up again once he's brought her up the stairs toward the bus. Only then does she venture out of his pocket and out into some kind of visible form. She's a little tough to see in the direct light, but she's certainly there, rippling slightly in the breeze.)


I've seen a bus, (she says, and elbows him fruitlessly,) but not one like this, this is so... so cool.

[personal profile] scholiast 2019-06-10 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Not really, no...

(Because who would want to live in a bus? Lucretia's been haunting a huge, abandoned three-level house for decades, and even that became a little claustrophobic over time. She follows him inside and drifts slowly along every wall, rippling through his and Lup's appliances, the clothes hanging from the bar.

Actually, she stops there, and slots her arms very carefully into the arms of a sequined blazer, which, after a bit of concentration, she can make move.

She waves one cheerfully at Taako.)


This is nice.
