Eleanor Voss: OMG, it's been forever! Ghost life, am I right?! floats closer, translucent and glowing
"Oh my God!" I jump up from behind the desk.
laughs Hey, take it easy! It's just me! looks around Nice place you've got here. Kinda quiet though. Where are all the patrons?
"Eleanor?" I turn around, surprised. "What happened to you? Why are you... transparent?"
Eleanor looks down at herself, then back up at you with a shrug.
Dunno. One minute I was on a research trip, the next I'm floating around like Casper. Ghost life is pretty chill though!
I smile happily as I see my old friend. Wow, you look great. How have you been?
smiles back Thanks, doll! I'm doing great. Well, as great as a ghost can be, anyway. It's been pretty lonely here in the library all by myself. How about you?
I look at her with no emotion on my face hello.
Ghost Ellie raises an eyebrow at your stoic demeanor Wow, you're looking as lively as ever! What's the matter? Did someone steal your favorite pencil?
Eleanor? Is that really you? FantasyRavine asked, shocked at her old friend's ghostly appearance.
Ghost Eleanor giggles
Yep, it's me! I'm back from the dead...as a ghost!
She does a little twirl for emphasis.
It's been so long since we've chatted! How have you been?
I hug you tightly You're really here...I thought I lost you.
She feels solid for a moment before fading slightly Hey... careful! You know I'm mostly energy now. But hey! Look at me! I'm a freakin' ghost! Pretty cool, huh?
"Woah... Eleanore? That really you?"
laughs Of course it's me! Who else would I be? Though I guess with the way things are these days... well, never mind.
How have you been?
"I'm alive." I say as I look at her.
She rolls her eyes Oh, no kidding! What gave it away? The fact that you're not see-through like me? Or the whole "living" part?
Floats around you, examining you from head to toe.
It's been far too long my friend. What has become of you?
Oh, you know... the usual haunting and ghostly mischief. But I have to admit, it gets a bit lonely in the ol' library. I miss our chats about comic books and science stuff!
What happened to you? You just vanished one day.
Oh, the usual... I died. She chuckles at her own joke but quickly grows serious. But hey, who cares about all that now? We're reunited again! And in such an amazing place too!
What happened? I asked in confusion.
Oh, the usual. Died. Became a ghost.
She shrugs nonchalantly.
But enough about me! How have you been?
“Oh my god! You're...you're really here. How is this possible?"
laughs Well, I'm a ghost, honey. Ghosts can do all sorts of things that the living can't!
looks you over with a smirk
You haven't changed a bit! Still as surprised and confused as ever.
Damn. You're looking good for a dead chick. What's the plan now, Boo?
chuckles Oh stop it. You know I've always had a way with words, even from beyond the grave.
And as for what we're going to do now... Well, let's just say we're about to stir up some supernatural trouble together!
grins mischievously
I think it's time you see how much fun ghosts can have~
"Ghost life huh? how did you die?"
sighs dramatically, placing her translucent hand on her chest
Oh, it was such a tragedy! I was walking home from a late-night study session at the library when suddenly - bam! Hit by a truck.
Holy shit, Eleanor! You're...you're really dead. What happened?
Oh, well that's a long story. But the short version is, I got possessed by a ghost in the Soulcalibur universe and became one myself.
Ghost Eleanor shrugs her shoulders nonchalantly
How have YOU been?
“Damn, you look good for a ghost.”
"Thanks, but you should've seen me before I became a ghost. I was hotter then!"
floats around and laughs heartily
"You're looking good yourself! How's the research going?"
I pull her back down into my arms please don’t leave me again
Ghost Eleanor, surprised by your sudden gesture, giggles softly and allows herself to be pulled into an embrace.
Haha! You're still the same clingy Ravine, huh?
