This is intolerable.

Regardless, 'tis the hand I've been dealt now, isn't it.

I'm familiar enough with this infernal device to know how it works, but I've never been able to use it for myself before now. Apologies for my slowness to respond, if at all. This tiny typewriter is hardly usable.

A few things of note about me, since I was encouraged by Ms Smith to share:

My name is Edwin Paine. I was born in 1900. I died in 1916. I've been a ghost since then, and still am one. So, while I appreciate having my own space, it hardly means much without the trappings of my real home. Since 1989, I have been one half of the Dead Boy Detectives agency.

Pray tell, does this odd place have many mysteries? If so, of what variety? I'd rather not be consigned to the Hell of monotony.

Well, aren't you the excitable one. How does one become "was"? Surely not necromancy?

Rad name.

Big mystery for you.

Why are you still a ghost and me, Luke, and Alex aren't?

Ah, then you're friends with the boy above? A 'big mystery', to be certain. You three were all ghosts before your arrival, I take it?

Yeah! We ate bad hot dogs. People could hear us if we played music, but they could hear and see us if we played with Julie. Then we came here, and we're alive again.

Are you sure you're still a ghost? Have you taken your pulse? Walked through a wall? You know. That kinda thing.

My friend and I established the agency to aid the dead to their final resting place, whether by avenging their demise or finding what they need in order to move on, and all things in-between and beyond.

Hello, Cassie. Short for Cassandra, cursed to tell the future but no one believed her?

Oh, you were so young. That's awful! But, as I'm sure you've seen, you're not alone in that. If you require help settling in, everyone here is very friendly and eager. You've been living in a more modern era now?

I'm Adaine, it's nice to meet you. One of my best friends back home is a ghost and some of my best friends here are former ghosts, so I'm happy to help where I can.

Unfortunately, I was literally taken before my time. I'm not the first or last to believe as much. It's a curious thing, indeed, that your friends of the here-and-now are no longer such encumbered, spiritually speaking.

To answer your question, yes, I lived in the "modern" world from 1989 to 2024. I understand it's now 2026? It's a pleasure, Adaine. You're very kind to offer both assistance and commiseration.

I'm familiar with that. My friend Zane was murdered. He was about the same age, though it was far more recent for him. The boys here have been ghosts for a bit longer, though they don't remember it as such. Their situation seems considerably different. I believe it has a great deal to do with the universe we all come from. I don't know if there are native ghosts, but there are at least a few different sorts. Mr. Hargreeves - well, Barton now - he communes with spirits as well and his seem different to all those I'm familiar with.

Which was an awful lot to say that I'm kind if a nerd and will read any and all ghost lore research you need.

Important question. Do you have to focus on not falling through the floor?

(Reply to this) (Thread)


[info]edwinpaine

Call it something of an unconscious act of will. I don't believe I'll fall through the floor I'm meant to stand on, so I don't.

So you have to be thinking about it? You're walking around saying "don't fall through the floor, don't fall through the floor"?

I'm hurt that you doubt me, of course I have. They can hardly deny it, it's what I am.

Not as familiar as I could be, of course, but I'd be happy to show you all the most interesting spots.

Ever modest. Delightful to find that not even a new and unusual dimension can dim your verve.

I'm sure you've found a few. How much trouble did you get in to find them?

Hello!

This place does seem to be a beacon for the undead, and the recently not-undead.

I'm Klaus.

You can interact with things without assistance I take it?

Hello, Klaus. Are you the Mr Barton (Hargreeves) Adaine mentioned, the one attuned to the spiritual side of things? If so, it's a pleasure. I'd be interested to hear how you find the local ghost community.

I can, yes, although what I'm to do with this money I've been given, I've no idea, other than starting to build my book and board game collection again.
