[ enter one (1) startlingly (...supernaturally) attractive young man: long dark hair in a slightly crooked braid, very fine red clothing, silver jewelry.. though he's missing an eye, the other hidden behind a patch. and his skin is, well, completely bloodless. corpse-white, you might say. dead, someone else might agree.

and behind him, puttering around in the background at the stove, a certain well-meaning culinary disaster. hm. ]


If one has questions about powerful ghosts-- [ the corner of his mouth lifts, smile polite. ] --one might ask a ghost.. of some small strength. Yes? I won't claim that the ghosts here are precisely the same as my kind, but they seem like enough. [ he taps a black nail against his cheek, smile curling a little higher. ] I do suggest not throwing salt at them if you'd rather not be eaten out of sheer affront.

[ a pause, a shift, fingers trailing down his braid to rub absently over a small coral pearl wound into it, the action obviously contemplative. ] I.. may.. be able to detain one of these ghosts next it appears. If you agree which you'd like. I promise nothing. [ particularly if it would distress his highness in any way.

a brief glance back at xie lian, a wave of his hand to indicate him. ]
My husband can verify most of what I say, should you not trust a Calamity's word. [ .. see, xie lian, he's being helpful. ]

[Let him burrow in the hug, he did miss this a lot.]

This place has messed up time, life and death too much for me to risk you demanifesting now. I wouldn't be sure when you would come back or how, unlike back home.

... I don't know which one is easier to catch, but she won't come close to me again if you're here. I think others have seen her.

Well... she's not very fast and she tends to stay around people a long time, so that might be out best bet. I think people can't catch the White Lady, and I feel like we probably should leave the Man in Black alone for now unless we wan a resurgence of undead bodies out of the water.

[He's basically just thinking out loud.]

... isn't it weird how they're color-coded in the same way as Calamities? The black one even lives underwater like He Xuan did. Oh and wasn't there another one? The lumberjack? He actually interacts with people, I think, so he might be easier to approach.
