34th Teddy Bear [Voice]

[An hour or so after bed, Elicia hears something creak. It's harmless and probably something like a tree scratching something, or a mouse finding its way. But it sparks a barrage of images within this small child's brain that would probably make a therapist shake their heads. Things like floating objects and scary figures and things under her bed oh god. Acute paranoia tonight, this one. So she speaks in a really low whisper as though she's on a secret mission, hidden up to her ears in blanket. Must be a nice windy winter night.]

Um....

Are ghosts real? They aren't, right? But—But I guess good ghosts are okay! Do those count? Are they real either?

[Her eyes dart from one side of the room to the other, and she's totally expecting something scary to happen on one side or the other. Any minute now. No, no, be brave, there's nothing going on. Nothing at aaaaall. ;~;

Gulp.]

Oh! New Feathers are here, too... huh...

I'm Elicia, and I'm six years o—

[rustle rustle]

Meep!

[...And back under the sheets. Yup.]

I wouldn't worry about ghosts, Elicia. A lot of them are just like us. They're just in a different form now, that's all.

They're like us? So... they're not always mean, right? They can be good, too!

Yes, that's right! I know because I met some.

[8O oh my gosh]

What were they like? C-could you see through them?

[Voice]

[personal profile] mistlegacy 2012-01-29 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
...well, one was a king. Grim, but kind. He wanted to keep helping his people, even though he wasn't alive anymore. That doesn't sound mean to you, does it?
asobouyo: (Hmmm?)

... No... I guess that's not so bad! Was he a good king?

[Voice]

I think so; he tried to be, at least. I never heard about him abusing his power.

[No, that was for the being who killed and impersonated him...but she's not going to get into that part of the story.]
asobouyo: (Oh snap!)

Then.... He was definitely a good ghost.

I hope I get to meet a nice ghost like him, if I ever meet one for real!

I'm sure you will, Elicia.
