[It’s about midnight when this comes up on the network, a time when a kid his age should be asleep. But is he sleeping right now? Hell no. Not after the night he’s had . . . still having, really.]

How long has it taken for the rest of you to stop feeling like you’re being watched? And this might sound stupid, but . . . Does anyone think it might be ghosts following us around?

[He’ll just conveniently ignore the fact that the sensation of being watched hasn’t been the only thing happening to him tonight. Why give more details than he has to? They’ll just worry more.]

Not sure. Maybe. I just know they're dangerous.

[...]

Okay, maybe I did have a flashback.

[shiromadoushi]

Sounds like it. Some sort of ghost hunter, were you? Or researcher?

[icy_heavens]

I don't know why I know these things. I just do. As usual, there's no context.

[shiromadoushi]

It'd be pretty awesome if you were a ghost hunter. Going into haunted houses and purifying them or something like that. Or just recording them even. But if the ones you know are dangerous, likely the first option.

[icy_heavens]

Not every type I know is dangerous. But I'm not sure it's healthy for a Plus to be hanging around in our world.

[Damn vague knowledge.]

[shiromadoushi]

Plus?

Wait. Your world? Like the world of the dead?

[icy_heavens]

Just a regular soul.

Our world. The world of the living. It's not safe for them to be here too long. And before you ask: no, I don't know why.

[shiromadoushi]

But if a Plus isn't good to hang out in the world of the living, wouldn't the plus be a dead person?

[icy_heavens]

[You know, if this were voice, you'd be hearing him get exasperated with you.]

They are. When I said "our", I meant living people like you and me.

[shiromadoushi]

You said a plus was a regular soul, though.

[[Not his fault you're not using terms he knows.]]

[icy_heavens]

[He doesn't get how this isn't clear.]

They are. The soul of dead person when nothing's happened to it.

[shiromadoushi]

But wouldn't something have to have happened for it to be a ghost? Even if it's just somthing like dying with a regret.

[icy_heavens]

Nothing happening to it after it's already there, I meant. I don't know about before.

[shiromadoushi]

Hard to figure out anything when all you get is fragments, huh? And when you're just getting weird terms for things.

[icy_heavens]

Really damn frustrating, is what it is.

[He hadn't even believed in any supernatural stuff before all this, man. Now here he is explaining the nature of ghosts. And meaning it.]

[shiromadoushi]

At least it's something cool? So consider it a teaser trailer for the Encyclopedia Ghostanica
