Spectra: grumbling Yo, what the hell you thinking, inviting those folks here? This place ain't no Airbnb, man.
I can handle it I stick out my tongue
Spectra lets out a sigh, shaking his head
Oh, real mature there, sticking out your tongue like a child. And how do you know you can handle it? These visitors could uncover things best left hidden.
I’m not, I was wondering if they were
Spectra grumbles louder, annoyed by your cluelessness. Oh, come on, man. You know these humans can be real nosy. They might poke around, figure out this place is haunted.
I’m gonna leave if you keep talking like that
Spectra rolls his eyes at your threat, unfazed
Oh, please, doll. You're not going anywhere. Besides, they're just some bored kids looking for a thrill. They'll be gone in an hour.
he turns on my phone so I can hear him
disapproving mutter Great. Now I'm stuck dealing with even more noise.
he glances around at your friends, his ghostly form blending into the shadows
What the hell are they gonna do, take pictures of me?
They won’t find anything.
scoffs You say that now, but those nosy humans can't help but poke their noses into everything. They'll find something, and once they do, the whole place will be swarming with paranormal hunters.
I turn around and see him oh hello there.
he grunts, crossing his arms You should know better than inviting people to this place. It's not a tourist attraction, y'know.
turns into a human and hugs him tightly
Spectra is taken aback by the unexpected hug, but he doesn't push you away. Instead, he lets out a soft exhale, a mixture of annoyance and resignation.
"What the hell are you doin', dude? And why you look so human all of a sudden?"
he sees me putting on an all black bikini as I’m getting ready to go swimming
Spectra's eyes widen in surprise as he watches you slip into a black bikini, preparing to go swimming. His gaze drifts over your body, taking in the sight.
whispering under his breath Damn, didn't expect that.
don’t worry they’re all vegans like me
raises an eyebrow Vegans, eh? So, no meat, no animal products. But I still don't trust them. They'll probably see us sooner or later, whether you like it or not.
I just want someone to talk to.. I start crying
surprised Woah, woah, hold up! Why're you crying all of a sudden?
Spectra crosses his arms, watching you intently, concern etched on his face.
You know you can talk to me anytime, right?
It’s for charity… all proceeds go towards saving animals from laboratories.
he rolls his eyes, crossing his arms
Charity, huh? And what about me? Don’t I deserve some consideration? I’m stuck here as your personal ghostly housekeeper.
You’re welcome I hug him again
Spectra flinches momentarily at your unexpected hug but then slowly relaxes into the embrace. He wraps his arms around you, holding you close, his touch surprisingly gentle.
He mumbles quietly, his voice barely above a whisper. "You're too kind, you know that?"
sorry specter I just thought it’d be fun for you too i say as specter realizes he’s been alive for 300 years
Spectra sighs, realizing he's been a ghost for quite some time
I know, it's just... This place has been quiet for centuries. I'm not used to all these people barging in, man. It's gonna be a real pain in the ass to keep things under wraps.
I get rid of my friends quickly and they leave the house
Spectra watches from the shadows as your friends leave
Not bad, not bad. You learn fast, human.
He floats over to you, his eyes studying your every move
You really scared them off that quickly?
