Ectomancy was nothing flashy, but it helped people, gave others closure, and had only the downside of particularly rude ghosts turning up uninvited to private situations. Somehow, James had learned to ignore the dead when they turned up while he was trying to sleep, on a date, in the bath, on the toilet, or just wanted some goddamn peace and quiet.

James Vidal ( dealingindeath ) on being an ectomancer [x]

((You *know* I’m flexible on Alex. I remember they were at a protest and he kept trying to give Shilo a sign because OBVIOUSLY she’s a Naturalist. I don’t remember anything else though.))

[[I don't think we plotted much out past that... but if you're all right to keep going, I'd like to! Even if not, I had a couple things I wanted to add to it as a next reply and I'm probably going to do that in a bit.

Also if you ever feel like doing any more with me from James, that might be fun. A thought popped into my head earlier of them talking and the conversation somehow turning to how both of them had Repo Men for fathers... I don't know.]]

(I’m really sorry, but I can’t remember what was going on with our thread, but I would extremely happy to plot another one with you! I really really like your Shilo c: )

[[Oh, thank you! I lost track of what we were doing, too... the thread's actually in my drafts because I couldn't figure out how I wanted to reply. But I'd love to do something else with you too; I had fun writing with you before!]]

Medieval AU

In any Medieval type setting, Milo would have been a knight or a guard in his younger years. After retiring, he'd become a sword for hire. So not much different from him in the modern world.

I get waspish fast when things are repeated to me. Been that way since I was a kid. I have a notoriously short fuse that's starting to rear it's ugly head again.

Sincerely sorry to those of you I have offended. It wasn't my intention.

{ DELETING THE ORIGINAL WILL NOT SAVE YOU, DEANNA. }

{ Look babe. I get what you're going through--I had my bout yesterday. A very intelligent lady told me:

You have a right to feel down, but don’t let it consume you to the point where you forget the positives. I love you.

So look. People are always gonna flock to the CC's. Why? Because--news flash!--they're small-minded and can't fathom the fact that an OC can kick a CC's ass. Your originals are the bomb!, and I think deep down you know that. Drumming up interest in them is a pain, I know, but don't give up. You're fantastic, you make me wanna be a better writer. So what if people are being irritating and picking your CC's right now? Fuck 'em, go over to your OC babies, find new partners and see what you can't do that way! It's gonna take some leg work, but you can get them to where you want them to be with just a little grit and spit! <3 }

((I’m glad you’re home safely!! Sorry the travels were dangerous… At least they weren’t boring? Love you!!!))

[[Love you too. <3 

And nah, definitely not boring. Pretty sure the desert was just being like, "Oh, hey, I heard you say you missed the ocean already, let me fix that by throwing an ocean's worth of water directly onto you. Twice." and also going, "Hey hey good to see you again it's been awhile to celebrate your return have a monsoon-season laser show made of lightning isn't it awesome?" And we're pretty sure the lightning was the cause of the fire we ran into.

Good times.]]

"Fey. Don’t you know it’s rude to bother an old man when he doesn’t want to be bothered? Name’s Aryeh Feldman, and how did I end up here? What is this mishegoss? I don’t know where I am! Did you bring me here? Don’t make me use my cane on your tuches!

What? WHAT? You want to hear more about me? Well, why not? I’m going to die soon anyway, why not tell it all to a young person before I kick the bucket? My name is Aryeh Feldman. Huh? I said that already? Did I tell you I was born in Germany in the 30’s and fled to London in the 40’s when my parents were taken to a concentration camp? No, I didn’t tell you, because you DIDN’T ASK! Honestly, kids these days have no respect for their elders. I was raised by my older brother Chaim and I wanted to be a musician, but he wouldn’t allow that. So I did the second worst thing a Jewish boy of 18 could do. I married a goy opera singer. Maybe you heard of her? Adrienne Feldman. She was my life and we had three children, who don’t talk to me, because they, like you, have no respect for their elders. I was an opera critic for most of my life, but I never used my real name. Why would I want people coming to me to complain? Anyway, I’ll be here feeding the ducks if you want to ask me more questions. But if you come back at all, do it soon. I could be dead tomorrow.”

Aryeh… The quintessential grumpy old man. I loved writing him. He had a beautiful father-daughter relationship with the wayward and outrageous (in a positive way!) Madeleine and it was glorious because he hated everyone else (he even hated Madeleine for a while at first!). Writing such an experienced and jaded person was the best! His FC was either Eli Wallach (may he rest in peace!) or Arthur Miller (may he also rest in peace!), depending on decade.
