3/30

Joe, what the hell is this.

Shit I've only ever seen in Hell, and in ghosts driven mad.

Made contact with a couple of 'em--the girl what wails like a banshee, and the fella in the jail cell. You saw him on the network, didn't you?

Yeah, she's got one hell of a scream, doesn't she? Apparently it made Feynman and Bickley catatonic.

That guy in the cell, are you sure he's actually dead? That thing seems to be piloting his body.

If they don't come 'round fair soon, might head back to my world for a bottle of brimstone wine. That'll kick anyone in the ass.

Ain't no question the boy's still alive. He's a ghost for damn sure, bein' outta his body--specter's a specter. But I can see the mark of death on a soul, and his soul's clean.

So one hell of a wake up call, literally?

So what do we do?

Re: 3/30

Brimstone ain't an adjective, it's an ingredient. So...yeah, more or less. Least for a mortal--me? That's a rip-roarin' drunk right there. Diluted some in a bottle of Jack for my nephew once, spoke highly of it. I'll fix you up when this is all over with.

As for what we do? Get that thing outta the boy without killin' the body. Kid's gotta go back to it--and I got the power to just reach in and rip him out, but it's a crapshoot if I can do it without harm to the boy. He'd need to get close...shove him in the second I rip the demon out, 'less we find a safer way.
