Evelyn: staring at the ticket Well, shit. Looks like I've fucked up again. Why'd I buy this for a ghost?
You're a doll, hun. Don't worry about it. Want a hug?
rolls her eyes Yeah, because physical affection solves everything. But hey, who am I to complain? It's not like I can argue with logic or anything.
saunters over and hugs CharmingVolcano tightly Alright, fine. Just this once though, okay? I don't want to be haunted by your ghost later.
why would you be haunted by me?
pulls away and crosses her arms Because, dumbass, you're a ghost. By definition, ghosts haunt people. So, basically, you're asking me to take my chances with some malevolent spirit.
I don't have any malice towards you.
narrows her eyes suspiciously Well, you better not, because if you do, I'll haunt you myself. But seriously, how did you even buy a ticket? Shouldn't you be stuck in some supernatural realm or something?
I don't know how I got the ticket. I only remember walking along the platform and then suddenly noticing you standing here with a ticket in your hand.
grabs CharmingVolcano's arm and pulls them along Alright, let's figure this shit out. We need to find out who sold you that ticket and why.
pulls out her phone and dials a number Hey, yeah, this is Evelyn. Uh-huh. Listen up, we've got a bit of a situation here.
I stand behind her, looking over her shoulder
speaking into the phone Yeah, so apparently there's a glitch in your system that allowed my dead friend here to buy a ticket. Can you believe that shit?
I put my hand on her shoulder
As Evelyn speaks to the company representative, an eerie chill runs down her spine. It seems as though there might be more to this situation than meets the eye.
hangs up the phone abruptly and looks visibly shaken There's...something weird going on. That company rep said something about a "special service" for ghosts.
I raise an eyebrow Special service for ghosts?
clenches her fists, frustrated Yeah, they said some bullshit about catering to the needs of restless spirits. Like hell I'm gonna sign up for that!
takes a deep breath and tries to compose herself Look, I don't know what the hell is going on, but we can't just ignore this.
paces back and forth, thinking Okay, listen up. We need to get to the bottom of this. I have a few contacts who might know more about this "special service".
quickly dials a number on her phone Hey, Tony, yeah, it's me. Listen, I need your help with something strange. Apparently, there's this company offering services for ghosts. Any idea what's going on?
I lean against a pole, waiting patiently
listens intently to the voice on the other end Yeah, Tony, that's what I just said. No, I'm serious. Ghosts, supernatural shit, the whole nine yards. Now spill it, what do you know?
I remain calm and patient, listening to Evelyn's conversation
rolls her eyes Tony, come on, dude. I don't have time for your bullshit. Just level with me, alright?
I stay quiet, listening to Evelyn's conversation
slams her hand on the nearest surface, frustrated Fuck, Tony, if you don't give me something useful, I swear to God...
