Case 189

[manofgnee]

I don't really know how to explain it. Actually, that's a lie. I do know how to explain it, but I'm not going to, because it's complicated and ridiculous and unnecessary.

But...

I have been told, by my doctor, never to be around ghosts. Ever. Especially angry ones.

They...well, like I said, it's complicated. And of course, with my preferred line of work, I can't help but run into them every so often, which REALLY pisses Worth off. He's hilarious when he's pissed off, but I'm usually unconscious after a ghost based thing, so I have to piss him off some other way, which is never as funny or exciting.

Oh well.

But yeah. Ghosts! Can't be near em. Can't touch em. Doesn't mean that I haven't, and it doesn't mean that I won't in the future, but there it is.

That's a pretty specific weakness, man.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but what can I tell ya?

[totallyinaband]

It happen to you often? I mean, in your particular line of work.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Not too often, but it has happened.

[totallyinaband]

And it makes you pass out? Ouch, man.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, something like that. Long story.

[totallyinaband]

I got lots of time, man.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I don't really know how to explain, though...and it's not exactly a pretty story. Or something I ever want to think about again ever.

[totallyinaband]

I get it, man. This curse sucks.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Thanks for understanding, man...you're a good pal.

[totallyinaband]

Did you just use the word 'pal' completely un-ironically?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Uhhh...I think so?

[totallyinaband]

Nah, man, I like it.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Oh. Oh good, I thought for a sec that was a bad thing!

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Wow. I wonder why that happens.

...How many times have you even, like, been around ghosts?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Couple of times.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Ah. I saw a ghost once, but I don't think it was like an actual ghost. It was just some weird City thing that looked like a ghost. ...Never mind, that's not a very good story anyway.

But uh... I guess it's good you don't run into 'em a whole lot, if it makes things all weird and stuff?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, true. I got pills too, but I don't carry them with me.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

They make pills for that?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

You look hard enough, they make pills for everything.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Haha, that sounds sorta ominous.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I know! but it's true.

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

Why doesn't it surprise me that you exploit your own weakness? I still don't get why this Worth guy hasn't given up on you yet.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I pay him well. Heh heh.

[liiies Hanna is basically his rune drug dealer.]

What can I say though? My personality is so lovable that nobody can quit on me! And it's really good to see you again, Sam.

[srsbusinessk.livejournal.com]

I think I'd call it dumb luck but hey, that's just me.



Good to see you too, man. Glad you're still somehow in one piece.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

It can be both, right?

I know, it's shocking. Glad you're still in one piece, too. Can't have you showing up here again in pieces.
