4 Little Ghosts ☠ Video

[talking_dead]

[The feed turns on to Norman sitting inside of Hel's Welcome Hall's lounge  with his long red scarf wrapped around his neck and a destroyed book on his lap. He's got a slightly nervous smile on, and his hands rub together in a worried manner before strumming along the book.]

Soooooo....who wants to talk about the afterlife?

[Yup, Norman's doing this. That's right, Asgard. There's a 11 year old who wants to talk about death. Although that wasn't the best way to start off this video, and he has to take a deep breath before continuing.]

I'm not actually talking about religious views, but what do you think happens when you die? Uh, I guess religious stuff works too if you really want to talk about that. I've heard a few things about how death works in different worlds, so I thought it would be interesting to hear from more people.

Also, I thought it would be good to talk about it since a lot of people seem to want to help get Freyr back. [Just going to add some not-bizarre reasoning to this.]

So yeah, if you want to say anything, go ahead. If you want to talk about it privately, you can put up a filter. [A pause.] And...if your world has ghosts or you believe in ghosts, that would be great to hear about too.

Yup. My grandma's a ghost too, and she told me that people turn into ghosts when they die because they either died suddenly or in a bad way, or if they still have something to figure out.

[A pause because...that sounds like something from a comedy tv show.] Did your brothers ever try to talk to them? Or make them leave?

[hollowchild]

...those all sound like good reasons. Are they friendly then, these ghosts? Or as variable as people?

[sophie's last name is gargamel. as in the smurf-hunting gargamel. comedy tv turned serious is in many respects her life]

Oh, they speak to them all the time, I think. But I don't think they'd ask them to leave.

[talking_dead]

They are people, so they're just as friendly as they when they were alive...Unless something changed them.

[He knows that the Agatha he knows as the witch isn't her real self-- not the scared little girl his saw in his vision.]

Why not? I think it'd probably get really annoying.

[hollowchild]

Changed them?

[she tilts her head]

Perhaps they can be annoying. But it is also perhaps better than being alone and without counsel.

[talking_dead]

Well, if something really bad happens to you and it's because someone else did it...you might want revenge. So if something changed you to make you bitter or angry, it's hard to let go of that when you're a ghost.

I guess that makes sense. It's like someone's watching over you...

[hollowchild]

...I'm not sure it's easy for people to let that go when they're alive, either.

Yes, I think that's how it is. It's a bit difficult to tell from outside it.

[talking_dead]

True... [Very true.] But it still counts in death.

[hollowchild]

Probably more, if you can't do much about it.
