[ Oh, hello everyone; have your favorite heal-dispensing, lecherous cleric. Probably your only heal-dispensing, lecherous cleric, but that's not really the point here. The point is that he's on the video screen, looking remarkably displeased. I wake up this morning and the ghosts have rearranged the room. It's lovely here, you know. What with the

[Altair is busy looking at the communicator, but does catch out of the corner of his eye that sh--

Wait just a minute. Note that the communicator is NOT off and anyone can hear this.]

Lie, what are you doing?

[... no, not that, Lie.]

The dresser is bigger than you are. [While he's not saying it, this is clearly 'why are you even trying to lift it, you know you can ask me right'?]

[There is a sigh before the vocals cut in] My room too.

Somehow I'm not surprised. It's just irritating, it's not even particularly dangerous or anything.

Thankfully, neither of us have that.

Welcome to the haunted apartments, Altair. Please enjoy your stay. [She sounds very tired, and she sighs.]

[spreadbare]

I think that at some point I may have noticed that they're haunted. Most ghosts I've encountered, though, have some sort of reason for doing what they do, and you can deal with them.

Either that or they're mindless spectres you can defeat in combat. These, though. They're doing weird things, but without any real purpose.

[notlikethemovie]

Ah-hah! Defeat in combat, right. [She huffs, her ears folding back.] If only.

Aside from pure malice, I can't say what sort of reason any of them would have. Most of them having been murdered might have something to do with it.

My room..is seemingly in order..just a few additional things which have me a little..baffled..

[There appears to be a sudden addition to his room - a photograph of his late wife and younger brother Falkea.]

[spreadbare]

I guess you're lucky, then.

[deimos_loki]

Yes, I suppose that is true....I did wake up to find my bed the opposite side of the room though..

[He cocks an eyebrow]

Not that that wasn't easily fixable..

What happened to your apartment? I can lend a hand to fix it if you want?

[spreadbare]

Things just got rearranged. It's under control, but thank you.

[metalicvirus]

[A bored yawn.]

My suggestion? Just learn to deal with it. We're all pawns in some game, probably run here and there by a bunch of teenaged kids with nothing better to do but screw up other people's lives.

[Hayden is a cynic, yes he is.]

And the apartments thrive on moving things around, usually just after you've gotten them where you want them. [Miffed tones, as his books are missing, and the couch he hauled in there has been replaced by the original, much less comfortable, one.]

[spreadbare]

[A pause. Altair looks at the camera suspiciously.]

That's a really oddly specific guess, you know. I don't know why you'd assume teenaged kids when it just as easily could be anything else.

And we had them all in place for a little while, but I guess someone didn't like our superb aesthetic tastes.

[metalicvirus]

[He shrugs.]

A friend of mine was into fantasy games for awhile, making up or taking characters and putting them in settings to see what would happen. He got bored with it, though. And teens and young adults tend to be the ones who play it, along with a few battle hardened adults.

Or our literary ones, since mine have made off with all my books.
