Uh.

Joe?

Do you see things crawling on the other dome or did I lose my mind in the past 24 hours?

Re: 3/20

Heard 'em, too. Spittin' like cats--weren't sure it was ghosts in specific, s' why I didn't put a call in.

Re: 3/20

[highbloodpressure]

I've never seen anything like that.

Re: 3/20

[deaths_head]

I have--doin' time in Hell. They screamed more, not to mention they was uglier.

Re: 3/20

[highbloodpressure]

Yeah, they don't look...great.

If they can't see them, they can't get hurt by them. Right?

Re: 3/20

[deaths_head]

Wrong.

...there's a thing 'bout godhood. You got your domain, 'n your spheres of influence--think of it like talent versus trade. Domain's your trade, what you live 'n die by, spheres of influence are them little gifts you got what make good party tricks.

Death, loss, 'n grief are my trade. One of my party tricks is revenge...and one look at them critters is makin' a goddamn trick pony outta me.

...I mean, you realize they're going to go in there, right?

Re: 3/20

[deaths_head]

Reckon they'd believe us if we said some local ghost told us no? Could be an infestation. Folks can't stand no infestations. Some kinda moon termites or some such?

Re: 3/20

[highbloodpressure]

They're scientists. Wouldn't that just make them more curious?

Re: 3/20

[deaths_head]

You know, you're ruinin' some damn fine ideas here by bein' right, son.

...ah, shit. Could you 'n your lady friend mind Angel if I head out to try and help with this nonsense? You can send her to stay with Cordelia Goode if there's issue while I'm gone. One of the only other people I trust to look after her like I would.

We can watch her, it's no problem at all.
