Apparently you can whisper a name in its ear and compel someone to share all of their non-murder-related sins to everyone for an hour.

[ help ]

Oh.

[she laughs a little.]

That does seem funny. Not especially useful, but I'm sure I can find a way to make it so. I could even just use it as a threat. Do as I say, or I'll whisper your name to the furby.

[ Patting her. ]

That does sound scary.

[ anyway ... ]

Did he heal you up alright? Do I need to call him back?

He did. I'm very tired and sore, but I'm alright.

[she at least doesn't seem like the wreck she was last time.]

Okay.

[ Crossing his arms and putting his chin on them, leaning on the edge of the bed. ]

You're sure? Not just bones and bleeding into your organs or whatnot. But, you know. Headwise too.

[it's cuddle week, so she will move her ow oof bones and hug him.]

Yes. It was disorienting and unpleasant, but I'm alright.

[ he would like to hug yeah :( even if it wasn't cuddle week. ]

Alright. [ ... ] Do you want to talk about it?

Yes, we can talk about it.

[hug time, hug time.]

At first, I was in a...I'm not sure what it's called. There was a saloon and people with hats and guns. [it was cowboy times.] I believed I really lived there. And I was trying to prove I was better than Gideon, but she - it seemed like she wasn't from that reality, she was trying to get me to agree it wasn't real and to leave with her. [...] And then she shot herself with a pistol instead of actually helping.

[she says this in a manner like 'typical.']

And then Hua Cheng and I were...a brother and a sister who were hunting ghosts and monsters. We were attacked by a wraith who showed us visions of things we wanted, and she began to drain us. Jason and Yuri showed up, and they made us realize it wasn't real.

[she chews her lip.]

Now, here is where it gets interesting. Once the spell wore off, we could tell that there was actually an arena of skeletons watching us for entertainment. The announcer was getting them to cheer for us winning the fight. And we found a script listing ideas for the show. There was a mention of the white wraith, who was from season one, coming back, and about ten seasons worth of ideas, and a note that said that if we wanted to leave, we had to end the show.

So we decided to be very boring and do things they didn't want us to do before the white wraith appeared and hit us with the car, and then we distracted her while Jason stole the car and ran her over.

[ because molly lives in a better reality than all of us, he gets exactly zero of these references. ]

... I honestly don't know what to take from any of that. Do you think it means anything?

Well. The skeletons observing us for entertainment would seem significant.

Oh. I guess I just assumed it was tormenting you.

[ he's helping enforce harrows claim on the skeleton aesthetic ]

What's this ... white wraith?

I don't know. It seemed relevant to me at the time, but I'm not sure it was. She showed up and was rude and hit us with a car and demanded that...that Hua Cheng be less gay.
