ghost love.

sleeping with ghosts —

You can't help who you fall in love with. But what if the person you fall for is no longer a person? Perhaps they were, once; those days have gone. All that's left is a memory. Is that something you can put to rest, or will you keep them with you and away from their final resting place?

  • Comment with your character and preferences. Mention if you'd prefer to play the living, the dead, or either.
  • Reply to others. You can use the RNG or not, if you'd wish. Make up your own additional prompts, scenes, scenarios, and such.


  • Dead Lover — No wonder they have unfinished business with you. You were theirs in life, and they're not about to let you go.
  • Tethered to You — In life, you didn't know each other, but now their ghost is connected to you, and you to them.
  • The Sight — You're the only one who can see them, the only one in the world to them, now.
  • Haunted Home — There's something wrong with your house. Can you reclaim it? Do you want to get rid of your companion?
  • Peace to the Vengeful — All you wanted to do was do a kind deed and help them achieve peace, not become eternally grateful.
  • Remember — Both of you are bound and determined to find out who you were as a living mortal. The knowledge might tear you apart.
  • Different Time, Different Place — This ghost is of a person who's a bit...antiquated compared to you. Careful, they may want to court you. It certainly makes things awkward when they see how you dress.
  • Jealousy — Lights burst, glass cracks, and the whole place goes cold when someone with a pulse smiles at you.
  • Protection — You'll risk your afterlife for the one you love.
  • Confession — If you can communicate vocally, confessions are easy. If you can't talk, that's a whole other kettle of fish.
  • The Challenge of Intimacy — Ghost makes it look so easy. You want to reach out and touch them, but you can't always do that.
  • Manifestation — Your emotions have temporarily given you a physical form.
  • Keeping You Here — The living's affection keeps the dead in the mortal coil.
  • Decay — The longer they stay with you, the more of a violent wraith, disconnected from their past, they become.
  • Passing — You have to let them go, even if they don't want to.
  • Just Like Heaven — You'll work together to find a way to bring you back to life.
  • ANYTHING ELSE?

[ She means that he absolutely would have been avoiding this talk if it hadn't been for her kick in the pants.

Wringing his hands nervously, he moves over to her left. ]


I think we'll just have to rip off the bandaid.

[She gives a nod to Stiles which gets a weird look from Scott, even as she turns toward him.]

Stiles is here. He's a ghost but he's here.

[That gets a scowl out of Scott]

"That's not funny, Lydia."

[She rolls her eyes and gives a scowl of her own]

Use those little werewolf powers of yours. You know I'm not lying. Nor am I trying to be funny.

It wasn't like this was ever going to be easy.

[ Stepping forwards he waves his hand in front of Scott's face.

He's there, even if he might not be able to sense it. ]


Also, I can't believe he's known you this long and still thinks you're the sort to play jokes like this.

Waving your hand in front of his face isn't going to work.

[Though she gives a sigh of annoyance.]

You both have known me for a LONG time and I've never played a joke like that before. Just...

[She ignores Scott's annoyed growl.]

"How do I know it's true?"

[ It was worth a try, he says as much walking over towards the wall near the sinks. ]

Let him know I'm more than willing to start talking about his embarrassing stories.

[The banshee was still rather annoyed by everything that was going on. More at Scott's persistence this was some kind of trick or wasn't real.]

He says he's more than willing to talk about your embarrassing stories.

[She gives Stiles a look that says 'just do so' before she decided to hit the young alpha]

ingoodcompany: ([...] Not my best idea)

[ He looks down at the floor briefly, if Scott could see it, he would recognize it as the 'welp, you're the one who asked for this' expression that he's come to know.

(And dread? Maybe. Stiles had never asked - but does he have to?)

Anyway, Stiles starts off with several kitchen mishaps, (the result of which is that they are banned from touching Melissa's blender), before moving on to talk about the time they managed to burn water... because. He doesn't really want to go into the specifics since it was the dumbest thing. ]
