Nnnnnope. [ pops the p, and exhales some smoke right in his direction

and then immediately starts up a hacking cough ]

[chrysanths]

[ Adolphe waves away the smoke again. There's a scowl sent Dan's way as if to say "you totally deserved that". ]

What is wrong with you. Seriously.

[ What's wrong with everyone here!! ]

[foreverphantom]

It's a long list.

[chrysanths]

Yeah? I got all day.

[foreverphantom]

Seriously? You too?

[chrysanths]

... What?

[ That he got all day?? He doesn't see anything wrong about this. ]

[foreverphantom]

Apparently no one here has anything better to do.

[chrysanths]

[ He sighs. ]

Not like you do either. Besides, we're all dead. What is there to do?

[foreverphantom]

Usually? A lot more.

[chrysanths]

[ ...........?????? ]

Don't make it sound like you've been dead multiple times.

[ Because it's concerning?! ]

[foreverphantom]

You asked what was wrong with me, and now you don't like the answer?

[chrysanths]

[ He just. Closes his eyes for a moment. Adolphe can put two and two together, but like. What the fuck. ]

What kind of messed up place...

[ He feels a headache coming on. ]

[foreverphantom]

I agree. Normally there's a whole Zone to explore and we at least get to be ghosts. Instead we're still stuck as humans.

[chrysanths]

No, that's--that's not the problem. You're saying that you died multiple times and that's normal to you? And all you can think about is exploring a place? And being a ghost??

[ HUH ]

[foreverphantom]

Well, dying multiple times isn't really normal, but after the third one it really loses its shock value.

[chrysanths]

[ ................. ]

What do you do that gets you into those situations, kid?

[ It sounds really rough?? And this guy doesn't look older than 18??? ]

[foreverphantom]

Die in freak supernatural lab accidents, mostly.

[ i just remembered he's smoking so he takes another drag of the cigarette. his face puckers with distaste. ]

[chrysanths]

[ .... okay, ALL THAT ASIDE ]

You shouldn't force yourself to smoke if you don't like it.

[foreverphantom]

I thought--[ starts hacking up a lungful ]

Ugh. I thought this was supposed to feel good. How do people do this when they have lungs?

[chrysanths]

I don't know. Never smoked. Since it doesn't feel good, stop smoking. Throw it out the window.

[ It stinks and he hates it!! He's not here to explain how smoking feels good for people, because he actually doesn't know. ]

[foreverphantom]

[ puts the cigarette out against his mattress first, and only then throws it out the window

followed by the rest of the carton ]

[chrysanths]

[ good boy ]

Do you want this instead?

[ He holds out a can of soda. It's a coke equivalent. ]

[foreverphantom]

Why would I want that?

[chrysanths]

Because it can't taste worse than what you just smoked.

[foreverphantom]

[ takes the can, pops the tab open, takes a swig--

and then spits it out all over the mattress and himself and the floor ]

Ugh, I forgot these were fizzy.
