[ Despite the inherent excitement that is likely what lead to her being actually, properly visible to people outside of the supernatural realm, there are just some things a ghost cannot shake off. Like the fact that while on recording, regardless of how corporeal they are in person, a ghost is still a ghost. She's visible, but only to an extent. Like a hazy, transparent projection, embossed against the image as if poorly photoshopped in. ]

So does this thing record or is it more like a .. live broadcast sort of thing? Kind of hope not, but if it is, hello! I guess.

[ If there was something she wanted to say ... well, she doesn't seem keen on saying it. Or perhaps there'd been nothing of great importance to begin with. She just sits there looking amicably pleased, watching the little transmission locket in pure interest. ]

... I'm Annie by the way. From England- since I've noticed this isn't England anymore. [ Look she'd only paid partial attention to what the fairies had said, to begin with. ] Anyway, bit of a strange question. Thoughts on, er, vampires? Werewolves? ... Ghosts? Just curious. Study purposes, personal interest. That sort of thing.

[ Another beaming little smile and the transmission ends. She really isn't good at this. ]

Well...yeah. They're normally the ones who are more inclined towards interacting with people.

[ Violently or otherwise. Angry, restless spirits are the ones that tend to hang around. Or so he thought. The fact that his mother had stayed all those years-- ]

But staying even partially visible for extended periods of time, that's really fascinating.

[ There's always time to nerd out. Right? ]

[ She snorts, eyes half rolling in tandem. ] Trust me, most of us would love to interact with people again. We just ... can't, normally.

It's happened before to me; a few months back. More and more people could see me; it was weird- but in a good way. And then ... Something sort of. Shocked me out of it, I suppose. It came back- but it's gone again again. Usually some sort of shock knocks me out of it. I don't really think I'm supposed to be visible, either. It just sort of ... happens.

A few months back...you mean here or...?

[ How long has she been here? Given the timelines he's becoming aware of, he's not even sure how the passage of time relates in this world. Wherever it is. ]

No, no, I mean back home. I've only been here for a few days now. I think. I'm sort of bad at keeping track of time, but I'd say three days. I don't sleep.

A few days?

[ So has he. Conveniently just in time for a big feast. ]

Did you suddenly appear in the middle of a forest?

Erm.. No. There was a big feast sort of thing set up in Caer Glaem. Shame about the food, but otherwise-- Why?

Caer Glaem?

[ His tongue rolls around the syllables, not the best pronunciation on his part, but it's adequate enough. ]

Is that in relation to Caer Scima? I was just wondering if that was par of the course around here.

Oh! You're- Oh. Is this Caer Scima?

[ She glances around, suddenly awares of where she actually is. ... Was it? Or was it some neutral party place? ]

But um, yeah I s'pose. Caer Glaem is the ... Seelie? Court. And Caer Scima is the Unseelie Court.

...

[ Oh. Well. That certainly puts a new angle on things. ]

That's...where you were. Before you...Rent-a-ghosted.

[ Now because the mun buggered it and teleporting between courts isn't possible, even for Annie, we're just gonna bork some things. ]

No, no- I mean I was near it, but. No I was at the Station. It's a bit more modern than anywhere else, a bit more homey.

[ WE SAW NOTHING. Or heard nothing. Either way, Rent-A-Ghost is convenient enough across a field, let alone several miles. And the Station is exactly what Sam needs to hear about. ]

The Station?

Have you not been yet? I mean it- It might take a while to get there on foot- or horse, I suppose. I'd take you if I could but ... Pretty sure you'd prefer to stay alive.

But it's got loads of stuff. Computers, internet, telly, you name it.

Yeah, I'm kind of attached to the concept.

[ Being alive, that is. ]

Wait--the internet? I'm in fairytale land and we can get Wifi?

Don't ask me how it works, cause I've got no idea.

I mean if you want to see it, I could ... go with you, or something. Don't have much else to do.

God, yes--

[ That's the first real bit of hope he's felt since arriving. ]

How far is it? How do I get there?
