w1, monday

[foreverphantom]

[ it's halloween eve time!!! And he is dressed very appropriately, nibbling in furious concentration on a ghost sugar cookie, brows furrowed.

But also, he multitasks to make time to stare at the variety of skeletons on display and raise an eyebrow judgmentally at them. ]

[florescences]

[ elysia is too pink to be dressed appropriately for the holiday, but it's fine. she sees the judgmental look. ]

What's wrong? Brimstone? Is that your name or just what people call you?

[foreverphantom]

Is there a difference?

[ gestures to the skeletons ]

Half of these make no sense.

[florescences]

Well, if you don't like it.... I'd call you something else. Do you not like your actual name?

[ she looks. ]

I don't know how much that matters for aesthetic.

[foreverphantom]

I don't really have a name. Brimstone was...the best of the options available.

Even so, they're a disgrace to real skeletons.

[florescences]

Hmm... all right. Brimstone, it is.

[ if he's fine with it, she's fine with it. ]

Are you interested in anatomy?

[foreverphantom]

Not particularly, but when you see enough of them, you can start to tell the difference between real ones and poor imitations.

[florescences]

What do you do that you see so many skeletons?

[foreverphantom]

Mass murder, mostly.

[florescences]

[ hm. ]

From your own doing or someone else?

[foreverphantom]

I said I was the one doing it, didn't I?

[florescences]

Not to me, you didn't.

[foreverphantom]

Well, here's me saying it. I did a ton of mass murder and saw a lot of skeletons because I created them.

...also, there are just a lot of skeleton ghosts naturally wandering around.

[florescences]

Uh-huh. Okay. What kind of world did you live in? Would you mind explaining a little more to me?

[foreverphantom]

[ ...she's weirdly unbothered by all this and it's kind of confusing him. ]

...There's the normal human world where the living are, and then there's the Ghost Zone, a connected realm for the afterlife. They're usually separate, but since stable portals have been built, there's a lot of overlap.

I was a ghost who destroyed mass swaths of both.

[florescences]

[ sometimes.... you experience a lot of death and murder. ]

Oh, ghosts aren't something I'm used to. [ she's genuinely interested. ] Why did you want to destroy so much?

[foreverphantom]

Because it was satisfying.

[florescences]

Yeah, but what was so satisfying about it for you? Just the destruction? Or something else?

[foreverphantom]

[ well this is a very deep and personal question for a complete stranger to ask. ]

...It was...a show of power. I could do whatever I want to whomever I want, and no one could stop me.

[florescences]

[ he can ignore her questions, if he wants. ]

Were you stuck in a situation where you felt powerless, Brimstone?

[foreverphantom]

[ BRISTLES ]

No.

[florescences]

Okay, okay, I got you. Don't worry.

[foreverphantom]

You don't got me. You don't even know me.

[florescences]

You don't need to act as old as you look. I meant I understood what you meant when you said no.

[foreverphantom]

[ well. she at least gets a point for understanding that he isn't actually a teenager. ]

Fine.

[ he really do be acting as old as he looks tho ]
