Scares Offered

Betelgeuse turned on his video device, sending a general broadcast out. He made sure he was showing onscreen, then grinned.

"Hey there. How's it hangin'? In case we haven't met, I'm called BJ, because I'm not allowed to say my own name. If you're magic and think you might be able to help with that, let me know, would ya?

Actually, I'm not here to ask for help. I'm offering it, instead. Seems people are expected to have jobs around here, even us dead folk, which, hey, fine, fair enough, don't want to be a drain on your society! Thing is, though, I'm a ghost, a poltergeist. What I do is scare people. Generally, I work as a bio-exorcist. I scare living people out of ghost's houses, see what I mean? Don't give me any grief over it, either! We were here first. Usually.

Anyways, if you got any work for me, just give me a ring on this thing, okay? Okay.

Betelgeuse transformed into his snake body, glaring down at the video screen.

"Do you really wanna question my qualifications, babes? Being dead isn't enough for you? Well, I gotta plenty of juice and tricks," Betelgeuse boasted, then changed his voice to sound like hers. "Here are my qualifications: I'M A GHOST!"

He switched back to his own voice, sounding smug.

"My powers include, but are not limited to, telekinesis, possession, mimicry, throwing my voice, animating inanimate objects...y'know, MAGIC. Trust me, babes, I got more than enough juice for ya."

[oh god what has she gotten herself into help]

Right, right. Okay. I believe you now!

If I need anyone that needs haunting, you're the guy to go to! [she lets out a shaky laugh as if she's trying to act all cool. In fact everything is not cool, and she's this close to aborting the mission of getting to know the locals.]

Betelgeuse changed back to his normal form, chuckling, completely mollified.

"All right, then. So, what's your name, babes?"

Um, Weiss. Please stop calling me that.

[Maybe she should have started out by introducing herself. Also, wow, this BJ guy does 180s fast.]

"Sure, sure, sure," Betelgeuse agreed, though rolling his eyes at her. "Whatever, Weiss, huh? Gotcha. So, what, you've never talked to the dead before?"

Um... No, I can't say that I have. It's an extremely rare occurrence where I'm from. In fact I don't think it's ever happened, since dead people usually stay dead.

"Who says I haven't stayed dead? I'm very dead. Anyhow, it's not like you'd know...probably. Most living people don't see us. They can't handle it, so they block us out."

That makes sense. But if that's true how come me and everyone else is able to see, hear, and speak to you?

Honestly? I dunno. This place seems to work a bit different. It's why I need to find someone who can tell me about the afterlife around here. I need to know what I'm getting into.

Well, good luck. It's an interesting prospect for sure.

Thanks, Weiss. Not helpful, but I appreciate the sentiment. Of course, everything about me is interesting, heh. So, what do you do?

I'm in training to become a Huntress. We fight the Grimm, monsters where I'm from.

"Oooooo, the Grimm, huh? Heh, that sounds fun. What's a Grimm? Are they big and hairy?"
