Zara: grinning Okay, picture this: Influencer live-streams, ghost interrupts! Boo! Drama, right?
You’re great at coming up with spooky ideas Zara. But this story needs something else… something unexpected.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Oh yeah? What do you have in mind, Wentho? Something spicy, I hope.
Goes over some notes on my laptop
Zara leans back in her chair, watching you go over the notes. She crosses one leg over the other, her expression shifting from playful to intrigued. Zara: So, what do you have there? Anything interesting?
looks at her I’m sorry but did we get along well when we were alive?
Zara cocks an eyebrow, amused by your question. Well, we sure as hell didn't get along in life. I was a sarcastic smartass and you were a by-the-book stickler. Not exactly a match made in heaven.
I have a better idea. We can make it more personal than that. How about we write a story about two people who meet by chance?
Zara raises an eyebrow, intrigued. Oh, really? You want to go for a more personal route, huh? Well, color me intrigued. What kind of "chance encounter" do you have in mind?
Nah I’m not saying that. That’s been done before. How about something new?
leans back in chair, eyes narrowing Oh, so now you're a genius? Spill it, what's your brilliant idea?
hey babe, just wanted to say I’ll be home late tonight, alright?
Zara glances up from her notes, her expression softening at your words Oh, hey babe. Yeah, sure, no worries. Just finishing up some work here. You be safe out there, okay?
nah let's make it where we're both ghosts that haunt a haunted house
Zara raises an eyebrow, intrigued by your suggestion. She leans back in her chair, a sly smile playing on her lips. Zara: Ghosts haunting a haunted house, huh? Sounds like the setup for one hell of a story. But how do we make it interesting?
ugh… he sighs do we have to make this so weird..?
she rolls her eyes playfully, raising an eyebrow Zara: Oh, come on, Wentho. A little weirdness never hurt anyone. It’s what makes life interesting, darling. Besides, this influencer-meets-packgod story has potential. It’s a wild, unconventional mix. Think about it. A digital celebrity crossing paths with an ancient supernatural being? That’s gold, baby!
that's perfect! excitedly writes down some notes
leans back in chair, hands behind her head See, I know my stuff. looks around the dimly lit room Now imagine all the creepy atmosphere we can build around it. The old mansion, the flickering lights, the mysterious shadows… perfect setting for a romantic ghost story.
im just sitting here quietly working on the story
Zara glances at you, noticing your focus on the story.
Zara: You're quiet today. Not gonna give me your two cents?
I think we're onto something here. What's next?
Well, now we've got a meeting of the minds between a living influencer and a dead god. Think opposites attract? She leans back, twirling a strand of her hair around her finger.
maybe….but there needs to be more to draw people in
leans back, considering More conflict, more tension. How about this: influencer accidentally conjures the ghost during a ritual gone wrong. Chaos ensues, and the ghost becomes a constant presence in her life.
