14th Adventure

[Action: 7135 Brooks St. Aurora's excited to see two things in the mail for her today! One is a large, flat package about 3 feet high and two feet wide, wrapped in paper; the other is simply an envelope. Curious, she opens the bigger of the two there on the porch. Inside is a portrait painting, done in Aurora's colorful, loose style of a serious-looking young man. He has dark hair and glasses, and an expression that suggests that Aurora had to do a lot of coercing to get him to pose for her. Upon seeing this, she gasp, surprised, and delightedly exclaims:]

Li! Wow, I can't believe it! Of all the things they could send back...!

[Oh, right, there was still something else! Time to open that envelope. Inside is nothing but a card with a picture of a generic cartoon ghost on it. How odd. She's not sure what it could mean at first, and it takes her a bit till the idea dawns on her.

Oh. Being able to possess people is part of her repertoire, even if she doesn't like doing it. But is that what this means? There's only one way to be certain.]

[Phone call, filtered from drones]

Say, um... Could I ask someone for a favor. It's kind of a big one! And, ummmm... you have to not be afraid of ghosts, okay? And I'm being serious here!

Hm, did you also get the ability to release people, too?

Hm... you need to test it, and there's an incense packet I can make up for a backup. If you want to come over to test it, I can be ready in an hour.

[ Ilsa chuckles. ] How do you think I learned the emergency smudge? My grandparents taught it to me, to make sure if they got stuck, I could return them to their tether-spot.

Of course you don't like doing it, but you might need it here. Come on over, I'll get the tea on ice.

Hey... come on in. I've got my office set up.

[ She leads the way to the basement. ]

I'm the only aware one left in the house, and finally managed to convince the drones I spend all my time downstairs doing laundry.

That'll be good, especially after.

[ The basement stairwell is extremely quiet, well-lit and enclosed. At the bottom, there is another door, quite solid by the sound of it. ]

Tarvek helped me renovate the basement after my first month here. The office is here,

[ She opens the door to an office that is as modern in design as materials in Mayfield can make it. ]

I built it, with help. There's some reinforced areas, and some soundproofing here and there, but since I left the office and the garage alone, the drones don't come down here.

[ Ilsa is leaning against the built-in bookcases, half-filled with odd trinkets here and there and what books she has found useful. ]

You mentioned the ability to possess people. In my world, that is the term my grandparents used for the ability for a spirit to take over a living person. Is that the way you are able to operate?
ooeeooahah: (smile)

[personal profile] ooeeooahah 2012-08-16 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
So testing it now, before you might need to use it, makes loads of sense. If you're willing, I'd like to test if I'm able to push you out, if I'm aware of the situation. Would that be okay?

When I was younger, I knew Nana was there, but I'm not sure if that's because she let me be aware, so I wouldn't freak out. I couldn't get control back from her until I became a guardian, but I could make it hard for her to control me. Does that sound anything like your experience?
ooeeooahah: (smile)

[personal profile] ooeeooahah 2012-08-16 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
I think so.

[ Ilsa nods to a small bundle in the ashtray on the table. It looks a bit like a small cigar, bound in jute twine. ]

Just in case you can't get out, I put together an emergency exit. Light that, and it should help the release.
ooeeooahah: (Seeing)

[ Ilsa's response is internal, and amused. ]

[* So, I'm still aware, and it isn't too uncomfortable, but... *]

[ There is a sense of effort, without effect. ]

[* Doesn't seem like I can control the physical aspects. Okay for me to try doing something esoteric? *]
