So say hypothetically an encounter with a strange Meta you don't know led to you teleporting into the middle of what looks to be a barren wasteland in the middle of what your GPS says is some sort of canyon in Arizona.

And say that hypothetically you aren't equipped to get back to civilization at the moment and the next town is something like an hour and a half walk away.

And hypothetically you don't have water on you or food.

Um, how would you get out of this situation?

They don't exist here? That's great! Ghosts are scary.

[atypical_echo]

OP Here

They better not exist. Fuck I don't want them to exist. Ghosts, please don't exist.

Anon 1 here

Don't tell me they don't exist and then immediately say you don't know if they exist or not!

[atypical_echo]

OP Here

LOGICALLY ghosts should not fucking exist. But in this hypothetical situation they might well fucking exist because hypothetically my luck blows.

You're both obviously new here.

[atypical_echo]

OP

Not really all that new but thanks

[a_gaggle_of_ghosties]

You're new enough not to remember the army of them that attacked Sunset Falls.

Which means you couldn't have been here in March, and you likely weren't here for April, either. Not unless the Alliance was somehow able to prevent anyone from talking about the previous month's confluence.

[atypical_echo]

OP been here since June, but I also don't fucking doomscroll other city's problems?

[a_gaggle_of_ghosties]

Then start. The willfully ignorant have an unfortunate habit of getting themselves and anyone around them killed.

Which is why, hypothetically, if such a person were to be stranded in the desert I wouldn't hesitate to leave them there.

[atypical_echo]

You're not the nicest person. Hypothetically.

Ghosts are real, but if you find them hostile, they are weak to fire.

PLEASE don't tell me ghosts are real! I don't have fire! If I don't get back soon Loki might fire me before I even have my first day of work

PM

[unkindled_madness]

The ghost I encounter most frequently reads stories to children. I expect you'll survive.

Loki has hired you?

[atypical_echo]

You encounter a ghost regularly?

Yeah. He's taking me on as social media manager. Barely even looked at my pictures. Said you mentioned me.

It was one of the weirdest conversations of my life, but I'm actually excited by this and I CANNOT FUCK IT UP this soon!

[unkindled_madness]

I live in Sunset Falls. He's practically a member of the library staff.

I did mention you to him. He didn't seem terribly familiar with photography.

I would offer to assist you, but I've already used his teleporter for the day.

[atypical_echo]

Huh, that's... I seem to have completely missed the 'ghost' part. Mostly because WTF WHY DO GHOSTS EXIST!?

Do the teleporters even take you to non-Guild Approved cities?

[unkindled_madness]

One assumes their spirit energy is stuck, somehow. But it's been difficult to find any definitive explanation of how death works in this universe.

I believe so. They're simply limited in their frequency of use.

[atypical_echo]

Spirit energy?

Geez, they really got you guys by the shorts huh?
