[Enter the Griever! As always, the blond hair, glowing red eyes and echo-y voice pretty much guarantee you won't recognize him as Chris. He appears with some momentum, and smacks into the wall of the ballroom. A hand is at his side, where some green blood seeps slowly through his fingers. He looks pretty incredulous.]

Who actually gives a little girl a sniper—?! [Realization dawns!] ...rifle. [He knocks his head back against the wall. Guess who just discovered his merge with Henrietta?] You've got to be kidding.

You not thinking about being Chris when you look like this.

That last comment was supposed to end with '?'. orz

[ghostlighter]

I was talking about the blood not being any different despite appearances. I don't think of myself as someone else when I'm a ghost.

There there *patpat*

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well that's good, then. Is it ever hard, though? Since people don't know who you are like this?

:P

[ghostlighter]

... Why would it be?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

Well... even when I'm on missions, I have people who know what I do.

[ghostlighter]

[He shrugs, then winces and reminds himself how stupid that is.] I make do. Some people know who I am, but I'm not always around them or anything.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

But what if someone comes who just thinks you're another ghost?

[ghostlighter]

That's their problem.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

Ah. You would k--um, I guess you wouldn't, would you.

[ghostlighter]

... I would just leave.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

...without finishing the mission?

[ghostlighter]

I'd take the ghost with me.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

Well, what if the ghost didn't come?

[ghostlighter]

I would make it.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

...that's not a logical assumption to make, though. That you'd be able to make it leave with you.

[ghostlighter]

Then I guess whoever was around would either run away or just have to watch until I could catch the ghost.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[....this... does not compute.]

You kill witnesses, though. [That's just what you do.]

[ghostlighter]

... No, you don't.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[...] But you do.

[ghostlighter]

They're the innocents. I wouldn't kill them.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

They're witnesses. You... have to.

[ghostlighter]

They're innocents. They can't help they were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

No, but that doesn't matter.

[ghostlighter]

Why not? It's not their fault. If you're not doing what you're doing to keep them safe in the long run, why are you doing it?

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[....buh?] Long run?
