Has anyone been experiencing occasional instances of apparitions in this fog that has rolled in everywhere? I've found little evidence that this is a common occurrence, but I remain a new addition to this place.

[Silco had seen fog and plenty of smog. He knew the difference between thugs lurking in the obscurity and the phantoms out of the corner of one's eye. Time to see who was useful.]

i've seen a cat and a dog fight. it was INTENSE!!!
OH! and i had a building dance with me an hour ago, u missed it!

( one of these two things are normal. )

[Text] -> Charm

[conflictresolution]

Depending on the circumstances, both of those could be rather normal given where we came from.

[There were plenty of psychedelics available on the streets in Zaun after all.]

[opheliac]

yeaaaaah. hey! remember when i tricked an empty head loser he swallowed one of my mini dynamites and i told them the ONLY way for it to not explode is if he ate sticks for a whole month?

that was so fun!

[conflictresolution]

Was that the individual who exploded an hour later while making a drug deal?

[Some Zaunites were terribly stupid.]

[opheliac]

no, u big silly! THAT one went kaboom because he bumped into me walking in the last drop and called me a "fucking brat". so i followed him to apologize after he was done drinking.

he had such an explosive reaction to my apology!!

Yes. I have a farm in the meadowlands and I seem to be seeing apparitions of my husband and wife. It is... An odd occurrence. I am not sure what is happening; it is the first time I have seen the fog do this since I have been here.

[conflictresolution]

Are your partners currently alive somewhere else?

[scythedance]

Yes. Our species are "blessed" with immortality, you see. But, ah... It makes me wonder, if you can see shadows of those who have passed as well. I do not have any relatives that are dead yet, so I would not be able to test this theory.

[conflictresolution]

It seems possible the dead can be seen in the fog. Perhaps there is no current rhyme or reason, but it is beneficial to know others have experienced similar symptoms.

[He wasn't descending to madness.]

[scythedance]

Mm... I do have to wonder if those who brought us here have started making their move. I would be careful, should you see shadows in the fog once more.

I would not want any harm to come to any of us, no matter what crime we have committed.

[lightthedarkness]

Apparitions... as in... ghost?

Text;

[conflictresolution]

That appears to be the question. Have you experienced unusual shadows in the fog?

Text;

[lightthedarkness]

No, but I hope it's not ghosts![Usagi Tsukino, the strongest in her galaxy, who has fought actual ghosts and won, is still very much scared of them. Then again, Japanese ghosts can be particularly horrifying.]And I don't exactly think there's a priest around with talismans! [Says the girl who can get rid of them herself if pressed.]

[conflictresolution]

Ghosts of the past may be the only scenario we have to deal with. Priests do seem like they would be useless, and I wouldn't consider the value of one that's been sent to purgatory with the rest of us sinners.

Text;

[lightthedarkness]

Ghosts from my country are no joke. They can do some serious harm even if you have absolutely nothing to do with them.

Purgatory? I've met plenty of people who aren't dead before coming here. Calling us sinners seems a bit much, though.

Did you see something in the fog too? I though I did, but it's kind of embarrassing.

[It wasn't, but it was definitely something he like others to not see. Which has him a little wary about this fog. How long will this linger?]

Text

[conflictresolution]

Stirrings, yes.

What makes it embarrassing?

[shadowofpride]

[There's a very long pause before there are some very small handwriting. There was a lot of scribbling and crossing out like he was trying to give an answer without actually giving the answer.]

Just. Stuff. Things I didn't know any better about and my mom wasn't happy about it. [Is that enough vague information?]

[conflictresolution]

That's quite the evasive answer.

Would you speak plainly if it wasn't a public post?

[shadowofpride]

Maybe. As long as you don't laugh, or say something funny when I tell you.

And you can't tell anyone else!

[garbagecanned]

yea
if its anything like home u should keep away from the fog

[conflictresolution]

What does fog do in your world?

[garbagecanned]

usually nothing
but for a while if the fog got really bad in our world wed have to watch out for a murder the next day
idk if thats gonna happen here but keep ur eyes peeled

[conflictresolution]

Does your fog normally come with shadows moving through it before a death occurs the next day?

[garbagecanned]

no but there are shadows that become active in another world thats connected to ours back home
u have to have special abilities to fight them or u can get into a lot of trouble
even if they dont seem so bad they can be i bet
