Triggering echoes? What are you talking about?

[She's guessing crazy. There is green blood involved, this is gonna be all sorts of cray cray.]

Yeah, it's covered.

[gogoghostpowers]

Okay. Okay, good. [He drops his hands and stops fussing with the hat.]

Look, I can't--I can't really explain all of this to you right now, right here, but...you probably have this really weird number stuck in your head, right? Try writing it down somewhere, that should explain it.

[ghostly_heiress]

[Well, that was a point in the weirdness scale being legit. He knew about the number.]

How is writing down a number supposed to explain why you have ecto blood stuff?

[gogoghostpowers]

It--It'll explain a lot of stuff. Like, not just this [he points to his head where the hidden injury is] but also, uh...well, have you noticed anything weird aside from the number? Like, something you remember that doesn't make any sense? Or, uh...

[How do you explain superpowers without calling them superpowers?]

...being able to do something you weren't able to do before?

[ghostly_heiress]

[She almost denied it outright. Of course she couldn't do anything she couldn't do before. Except...except was that true?]

[The world was still darkened by the shades she was wearing. She never did take them off. She thought about it, how things changed after that day she died briefly. How she got better so quickly, how everything seemed to clear up just like that, and that strange number in her head.]

[She thought about how these glasses weren't as necessary as they once were.]

[Part of her still wants to deny it. She doesn't know this kid, and he's clearly involved in weird, and it could drag her into weird. Except...except...]

[There were things she knew, but did not know how. Things about herself. It bothered her. She was so used to knowing things or being able to find the answer if she really wanted to. Not this though. She'd been wondering for weeks with no clue and there was a part of her that didn't want to just leave it alone.]

[And who knows. It could be fun.]

There is something. It's not really easy to describe. Certainly not that. [Gesturing at his hat.] But I couldn't do it before.

[gogoghostpowers]

There! See? Stuff like that. Just write the number down and you'll figure it all out, okay?

[He gingerly applies pressure to the side of his head again and winces a bit at the pain.]

Okay, well--I-I should probably get this checked out and stuff, so. I should go. But uh, good luck, okay?

[ghostly_heiress]

Whose going to check you out with green blood? Isn't that suspicious?

[All things considered, if there WAS a doctor to go to who knew about all this strange...well, it'd be good to know.]

[gogoghostpowers]

There are a couple of doctors who can handle stuff like this. I've been to them before, so I know they're good with this kind of thing.

[ghostly_heiress]

What are their names?

If I'm getting these echo things and it can cause that, it seems kind of important to know about them, right?
