I12DT: The Ghost With the Most

[Regan Rourke]

Regan was in the gardens, engaging in one of her hobbies: making up dialogue for couples she spied on from a distance.

"Darling," Regan says in a gruff voice as she watches one of the students talking with his girlfriend, "I just snorted Leary's ashes and frankly my dear, you have the head of an ant."

Regan shifts to an over the top girly voice, "Oh, my sweet, sweet, Santos. Every word out of your mouth makes me want to kill myself."

"I just ate the spirits of my ancestors."

"Kiss me you fool! We'll embrace oblivion together!"

[Mallory Davis]

"You have a very unique sense of humor." a voice behind her chuckles dryly.

[Regan Rourke]

"This isn't humor," Regan says, "It's boredom."

"Humor went out the window when I lost the ability to throw expired meats at couples."

[Mallory Davis]

"I'm sure everyone is very relieved."

[Regan Rourke]

"For now," Regan says, in her best foreboding voice.

[Mallory Davis]

"Is the vengeful spirit planning on stealing someone's body?" she laughs.

[Regan Rourke]

"As fun as that'd be, it's not a great idea," Regan says, sounding annoyed. More annoyed, "Apparently I eat souls when I possess people."

[Mallory Davis]

"What about someone 'empty'? Say, someone who just died."

[Regan Rourke]

"Wouldn't I just be stuck in a rotting slab of meat?" Regan asks.

[Mallory Davis]

"Possibly, possibly. You never know though."

[Regan Rourke]

"Where would I even find a body like that?" Regan wonders aloud.

[Mallory Davis]

"Certainly not in a morgue or a hospital." she smirks.

[Regan Rourke]

"Or one of those bridges everyone commits suicide off of."

[Mallory Davis]

"As dull as Maldon can be, I don't think all that many suicides happen here. Besides, who needs bridges with a perfectly fine cliff-face overlooking the ocean. Very dramatic and scenic."

[Regan Rourke]

"More like cliche," Regan says.

[Mallory Davis]

"Unlike jumping from a bridge."

[Regan Rourke]

"Look, we could argue all day about cliffs and bridges," Regan says, "Or you could help me find a body for proper experimentation."

[Mallory Davis]

"The Maldon Shopper should have some obituaries."

[Regan Rourke]

"Yeah, I'll just pick one up with my ghost hands."

[Mallory Davis]

"You have a hard time just asking for help, don't you?" she says and heads toward the manor.

[Regan Rourke]

"I don't know what you're talking about," Regan says, following after her.

[Mallory Davis]

"Of course not." she smirks and they're off to find some dead-people listings.
