[As a result of Emily going Deathly, reality shifts for "Ed" Nashton. His hands go transparent and then the game controller that he was holding suddenly drops to the floor. If she's Death, then he's got to be dead. And if he's dead? Then he's a full on ghost. He does his best to communicate with his electronics:]

	[Typing is a pain. A little green 8-bit ghost floats on the screen and then a nearby shadow forms Ed's room number. The ghost says in an adorable voice:] Can you break into my room? See if there's a body. [The ghost frowns.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Eddie's dorm room: Ghost!Ed & Cat

[She didn't care. At all. That was what Selina told herself as she made her way to the boy's floor. So, Ed was going insane. No skin off the kitty cat's back. She was just curious. That was it. Curiosity killed the cat - or, in this case, Cat. But she wasn't dying, not in this sad excuse for a school. She was done with dorm life after this. First, the cow, and then the maniacal laughter that ended with GCPD and rich girls crying all night about the dorms being cursed, and why didn't they just go home to mommy and daddy? No, dorm life? She and dorm life were done. Bones and the East End were better than this. And she barely knew Ed, but she still felt some ridiculous pull to make sure the nerd was okay.

Soft spots were dangerous, and that was a lesson she'd learned young, but she was still reluctantly tromping up the steps in black.

She didn't bother knocking once she got to Ed's door. She picked the lock, and she walked in. The place? Was completely empty, but the kitten relied on her gut for everything, and her gut said something was wrong. It was chills, hairs standing up on her arms, and the kind of feeling that said run. But she didn't run, because she wasn't quite that good at selfish, not yet, even though she liked to pretend.] Ed? [She stepped into the middle of the room.] It's Cat. [And, okay, so she was possibly standing in the middle of a room and talking to herself.]

[The dorm room was typical. Florescent light above, two beds on opposite sides of the room and a divide in personality between. One side of the room was a geek kingdom. Nerdy posters, computer stuff, action figures and robot parts. The other was unused. Like whoever was staying there didn't like being in the dorms that often. The TV was on and the screen was dark with a video game controller sitting by itself on the bed.

The door closed behind her slowly. The florescent light above pinged. The room felt dark, even though it was well lit. Ed's voice crackled from the tv. Distorted with static and glitching out:] Don't freak out. [There was still no sign of him anywhere, but that nerdy voice was unmistakable.] Wh-what do you see?

[Right, he shared a room with Gotham's richest teen. How could she forget? But she had, at least until that moment. And maybe that curiosity of hers extended a little, long enough for her to scan the neat side of the room with mossy green eyes. She was looking for something to steal, of course. It was nothing more than that. Not even a hint of true interest.

But that feeling, pins and needles and hairs standing along the nape of her neck, and it drew her back to her reason for breaking into this sanctity of boy.

She walked toward the television, screen dark, and she didn't flinch when the door closed behind her. She wasn't scared of anything, or so she reminded herself, and she refused to look up when the light overhead pinged. It was just a light, and no big deal, and she'd almost convinced herself when the television talked to her.

And maybe she startled.] отвали, мудак, бля!

[She backed up until she was soundly on the nearly-unused side of the room, and the backs of her knees met with that neat bed. She sat, because the other option was running, and she wasn't a coward. She stared at that static-glitch crackle.] You're talking from inside the television. I can't believe I said that.

[The Russian made him laugh, a distorted, screwed up noise that he stopped the second he realized he was making it. This wasn't supposed to be how things ended. He was supposed to take over the world. He was supposed to change things. And, now? He was a glitch in electronics at best and a ghost at the worst.]

I can't believe it's fucking happening to me! [His voice pitched nerdy high and then when he sighed, it was all static. The screen turning to grey and white snow.] Sorry for cursing. [Ed always prided himself on being polite in conversation. Never crass, like his father and the mooks who used to beat him up.]

There's no body, is there? [He could feel it in his gut, you know, if he had one.]
