I've also asked the Doctor, but you seem more invested: When is a ghost not a ghost?

[badgirlshenanigans]

When the ghost isn't dead.

[highbloodpressure]

They don't have ectoplasm. Some of them are capable of speaking complete sentences, holding conversations with people who aren't generally able to speak to the dead.

And I'm pretty sure that whatever kills them happens soon. Like, in the next year. But if that's true, why does Doctor Feynman look older? Does his magic work like the agey-witches magic does? You use it, you age faster?

[badgirlshenanigans]

And ghosts usually have ectoplasm, and not cognizant speech?

I'll have to ask him, without asking him.

[highbloodpressure]

Usually, yeah. Elizabeth had an easier time speaking, but she worked hard at it.

Good idea.

[badgirlshenanigans]

I just need to figure out how to phrase it.

[highbloodpressure]

Maybe just ask him how it works? He's pretty chatty...

[badgirlshenanigans]

I mean live Harry. "Excuse me, is there any way you might look drastically older in the next few months?" seems a bit awkward to me.

[highbloodpressure]

I meant live Harry. Maybe: "After what happened a few months ago, I've been curious: what happens if you use too much magic?"

[badgirlshenanigans]

That sounds like a better way. Less explaining and more answer potential.

[highbloodpressure]

Plus it seems like you're asking based on something that actually happened, and not a potential threat.

[badgirlshenanigans]

I want to run a couple of scenarios by Nica and possibly Eve. Something Harry said gave me an idea.

[highbloodpressure]

What did he say?

[badgirlshenanigans]

It's about his magic. He tries to use too much of it, or magic that wasn't really his. I'm not as clear.

Ghosts don't usually show things to people, do they?

[highbloodpressure]

Show things? Oh, like images? How they died?

No, they can do that. It's easier than talking.

[badgirlshenanigans]

It was pretty graphic. It'll take me a while to sort out in my head.

[highbloodpressure]

...does the town have anyone who can read minds?

[badgirlshenanigans]

Honestly, I don't know. I don't think so.

[As that would induce almost paranoia in her.]
