Our love is a haunted house.


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?

Here's the thing: When you can see the dead, sometimes it gets hard to tell who's really here or not. It's that particular peculiarity in his life that has Klaus staring at the woman on the park bench. As far as he can tell, no one else seems to notice her and– hey– what's not to notice? She's cute as fuck. So either these people are blind and have no taste or––

He's tilted his head so far to one side it's almost upside down as he squints still trying to decide as he comes to a stop in front to her. "Weird question for you: Are you dead?"

Rude if she is.
Socially demented if she's not.
Klaus is.... himself, so he doesn't particularly care either way.

( the living; anywhere between a ghost followed him home, to haunted flat, to inheriting a haunted object, via Tethered To You. man lives very alone aside from a cat (and an occasional angel) and a ghost companion ought to fit in perfectly amidst the meticulous organization and slight depression. love wistful existential melodrama and emotional stuff. also open to Remember, Different Time, Manifestation, Keeping, and Intimacy (open to all kinds that we can come up with; PG and up.) assumed cr welcome, early on or first meeting also fine. (if first meeting, maybe it's been an affection at a distance thing, or we can discuss!) 18+.

preference to plot in PMs. info + AUs/fave canons for your consideration.

[ Rose has been a ghost since 1952 and any romantic feelings are likely to be one-sided. As a hitchhiking ghost, settling down in anyway is antithetical to her. I'd love to explore either non-romantic love or a one-sided thing. ]

[ Force ghost shenanigans? sure, why not. prefer a non-canon death because lol no she doesn't die that easy. maybe Exegol really is a nexus and throwing her in that pit had her falling straight into pure Force energy. or maybe Hux managed to get lucky and actually shot her. if she's not the ghost, she might oscillate between being annoyed at being haunted and thankful to not be alone. ]

“I am entirely too fucking drunk for this,” Rook declared, forcefully, staring at the apparition that had walked through his front door. “What do you mean you’ve been fucking dead for the past few years, you son of a bitch?”

On the threadbare couch, Thom snorted and rolled over, his glasses shoved up on his face.

Without looking, gaze fixed on the see-through form hovering right damn there, Rook leaned over from his recliner, plucked the glasses up, and dropped them on the scarred end-table. All the furniture in the house trailer looked as though it had liberally taken a beating.
