[silver_pipe]

[ To say that Heather sounds scared is an understatement. She has dealt with monsters twice her size, demons from hell and even worse... humans willing to use and backstab her at every turn. But the idea of a ghost, the thought of someone dead walking again terrifies her and as she speaks her voice quivers with an uncharacteristic fear. ]

[ Heather stares blankly for a moment in disbelief. She speaks, her voice starts as a shallow whisper... but as time goes on it gets louder, almost hysteric. ]

Get away! You're not real!

{D'yeh want me ter come by? I'd be more'n happy ter keep yeh company, if yeh don' think yeh can handle it...}

[Jono is strangely unaffected by the presence of ghosts in Acairnia...mainly because he's see a LOT weirder things in the past, and he has yet to see anyone he knows...yet.]

[ Heather's silent for a long moment before murmuring a small reply. ]

There's... something here.
