Hey, Adstringendum. I've got a question.

[Rei is sitting in a chair, in Castiel's impromptu study, with a worn book in her hands. An anthology of ghost stories. And, because of simple curiosity:]

Do you believe in ghosts?

[Scientists? What scientists? Fran is going to handle that part.]

Comments

[magicxmarker]

Well, seeing as I'm a paranormal investigator and have seen and dealt with them, yeah.

[marsfireignite]

Aah, you should have hung out with the Winchesters when they were here. I'm pretty sure they do the same thing in their world -- or something close to it.

[Rei didn't really ask a lot of questions of Sam and Dean of their own world. Their world sucks. Majorly.]

What kind of ghosts have you seen, then?

[magicxmarker]

I don't remember them. Where they here before I left? They sound pretty cool...

But um, I'm dealing with a case with one right now. The guy was murdered trying to get a Selkie pelt, and he just. stayed in the building he was murdered in. Its kind of scary how strong feelings can translate to power in spirits. I mean, the guy hadn't even been dead a week and he was possessing people and messing with the lights...

But I guess that's love for you.

[marsfireignite]

Dean left while you were gone, I think. Sam's been gone for much longer.

[But Rei listens, for a moment or two, before looking curious.]

Emotions are strong enough to attach a ghost to a place in your world?

[magicxmarker]

Huh. If they ever come back, um...here's hoping they won't have to, I guess I'll have to talk with them more.

But yeah. Generally they have something in life that bothered them, that or something else happened, magical binding, of some sort of a strange death. But Emotions generally translate to power. And its the bad emotions that lead to the strong ghosts. Like desperation, and anger. Though, love I think is the worst. It tends to come out in different ways, and not all of them good.

[marsfireignite]

So you put them to rest?

[magicxmarker]

Well if I'm hired to. Though I guess I do some charity work here and there.

[More like all the time, and that's why you're so broke, Hanna.]

But it can be a long process. Some ghosts just don't want to leave because you can't reason with them until you've finished what they started before they died.

[marsfireignite]

That makes sense.

[Hm.]

How do you put them to rest, if they don't have unfinished business? Is it a ritual?

[magicxmarker]

Well my way isn't exactly traditional. It involves runes and stuff. Or if that doesn't work finding someone who actually specializes in removing ghosts.
