What are ghosts if not the hope that love continues beyond our ordinary senses? If ghosts are a delusion, then let me be deluded.

What are ghosts if not the hope that love continues beyond our ordinary senses? If ghosts are a delusion, then let me be deluded.
Amy Tan
I felt stuck in the bottom of a wishing well. I was desperate to shout what I wanted, but I didn’t know what that was. I knew only what it wasn’t.
Amy Tan, The Hundred Secret Senses
Monsters are real, ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.
Stephen King
There was still an hour until dawn, but the sky was beginning to lighten, turning a stark, leaden color. Strands of mist hung like livid ghosts on the air.
Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
After all, it is always easier to be afraid of something you cannot see.
Neil Gaiman, Coraline
Most of us find our own voices only after we’ve sounded like a lot of other people.
Neil Gaiman
I took the stars from my eyes, and then I made a map, And knew that somehow I could find my way back… Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too… So I stayed in the darkness with you.

She says nothing at all, but simply stares upward into the dark sky and watches, with sad eyes, the slow dance of the infinite stars.
Neil Gaiman, Stardust
You’ve a good heart. Sometimes that’s enough to see you safe wherever you go. But mostly, it’s not.
Neil Gaiman, Neverwhere
“Hah?” Hagakure glanced down at the girl beside him. Her footfalls had been quiet, and he hadn’t been paying very close attention. It seemed like she’d come from nowhere, but considering it was a big school, he wasn’t that startled to see someone else in the halls during the evening. “Yeah, that’s my name. Were you looking for me?” Hopefully she hadn’t been waiting long, he’d had to get more incense before the dollar store down the street closed. One thing had lead to another and he’d made friends with a man that had incredibly hairy legs.
Naturally, he’d returned with a single stick of incense, a half-eaten sandwich and a couple bottles of sugary drinks in his plastic bag. He wasn’t sure what had happened with that.
This was definitely not what she had expected after seeing Hagakure interviewed on TV. He seemed frazzled and disheveled, and honestly he smelled a bit like he had been hanging out with homeless people... Still, weird or not, she wanted to talk to him.
“Yes, I was looking for you actually... Well, not exactly looking, but I’m glad I spotted you. I’m Tomoko Oshiro, and I have some questions for you, if that’s alright... I want to know more about what you do as a fortune teller.”
She looked at him expectantly, as if she were waiting for him to suddenly change into a professional looking person...
Hey, just as a note...
Tomoko is in her very early stages. If you see anything--and I mean anything-- that comes off as Mary Sue-ish or too bland, or even just silly, please let me know in a polite way and I’ll do my best to improve it. I might not take every piece of advice I get (after all, Tomoko is my OC so I’ll be making executive decisions) I do want to make Tomoko her best she can be!
“That makes sense…” Byakuren trailed off, coming to a stop when the girl correctly named her two favorite flavors of tea. How intriguing, that she would be able to guess just upon looking at her…was it really that obvious? Not that it upset her in the least, but it did cause a light blush to rise to her cheeks as she nodded, and she adjusted her glasses in order to deflect her embarrassment. Even though she seemed rather kind, there was just something about her that seemed the slightest bit off…or perhaps it was just her imagination, after having read so many dull reports over a long period of time.
Hesitating for a moment to regain her composure before she replied, she took another sip of coffee in order to clear both her mind and palette. “Yes, those are the flavors of tea I prefer…how did you guess? I suppose with someone like me, it’s easy to tell,” she shrugged, the faintest hint of a smile passing across her thin lips. Surely this girl knew who she was, as she was so easily recognizable–at least, she should be…
Tomoko relaxed a little. She seemed embarrassed, but not upset or suspicious, thank goodness. Maybe she could let loose a bit more of the information that was practically bubbling over in her mind...
“Yeah, totally! Most business types have a thing for Earl Grey. Especially people who are high ranking like you.”
“Although, I don’t think all of them drink quite as much coffee as you do, Togami-san!”
Uh oh, a name slip...but maybe she wouldn’t realize...? She did say ‘someone like me’ so maybe Tomoko should know who she was? She certainly looked familiar, but she wasn’t sure from where. If she was the business type, she definitely wouldn’t be on the cover of anything Tomoko read, but maybe she had been on something in the book store? Lots of students at the school were famous after all...
Starter call!
While Byakuren also occasionally slipped a bit of sugar into her coffee from time to time, she certainly wasn’t going to admit that to this girl she didn’t even know…but in the same way, she wasn’t going to reprimand her, either, as it was admittedly quite understandable. She still had a taste for Luwak, even if it was a bit weakened, and that was a plus in her book–and as the coffee machine started pouring out the hot beverage she quickly grabbed another mug, restarting it once her own thermos was filled to the top once more. The bitter scent soothed her slightly frazzled nerves, and she indulged in a tiny sip, sighing in relief as the liquid gold hit her tongue…delicious.
“I’m glad to hear that,” she shyly admitted, taking out a few packs of sugar and placing them besides the empty cup. “It’s quite understandable that you prefer it sweetened–even if I prefer it plain. My girlfriend enjoys white chocolate raspberry mochas, and I simply cannot understand how she can drink something that’s almost pure sugar and fruit, and barely any coffee at all…”
“Ah yeah, I totally understand! I tend to treat coffee kind of like tea; if you add too much stuff you can’t taste the full flavor! I like things a little sweeter with tea though...”
She was probably rambling a bit too much, but she couldn’t help it. It was just a major relief to talk to someone about something that wasn’t school work, and tea was something she never ran out of pleasant things to say about.
“...Something tells me you’re an earl grey kind of person! Or maybe chamomile, huh?”
The intuitions came out of her mouth before she even knew it, and she tried to ignore them as best she could, although her smile faltered a little. This was exactly what had happened with her sister’s last husband, and she was fairly sure he had thought she was a witch or something...
crystalprediction joined the spirits (i hope this is ok? since we’re already interacting on my other blog, and it should be really interesting for these two to meet!)
Honestly, Tomoko hadn’t expected to meet anyone else with the sight, especially not here at Hope’s Peak. But maybe she had things backward? If there was anything she was learning here at school, it was that anything could happen at Hope’s Peak Academy...
Her mother had complained often about the famously strange psychic Yasuhiro Hagakure with his goofy grin and even goofier hair. He had been outselling her for years now, and Ai just couldn’t get over it. Tomoko, on the other hand, was intrigued. This guy was so open about his bad odds of success, but everyone loved him for it! What was he like in person? Maybe that’s what had made her stop him in the hall that day...
“Excuse me, are you Yasuhiro Hagakure?”
Would anyone else like a starter?
Growing up, I took so many cues from books. They taught me most of what I knew about what people did, about how to behave. They were my teachers and my advisers.
