trigger warnings: congenital heart disease

whisper will also answer to wispy and any other variation you can get from her name

she has congenital heart disease. she was born with it and she takes medication for it. she had open heart surgery when she was three months old, so she has a large scar down her chest. she doesn’t hide it and she doesn’t mind people asking about it, it’s not a sensitive subject for her.  the only close call with death she’s ever had was when she gave birth to her daughter. she’s been fine ever since, and tends to take it easy as far as strenuous activity goes

speaking of sensitive... she is one. she has sort of a sixth sense. she can feel when something unordinary/supernatural is around (it’s mostly the energy of spirits she can feel, she’s just ultrasensitive to it). it doesn’t mean she can talk to ghosts, but she can in fact see certain apparitions. she can feel when something of the like is around, and she can usually tell if it’s good or bad. she gets the feeling most of the time around cemeteries, in the morgue, in her embalming room, or near places that are historically old

mom is italian, dad is greek. she speaks both languages fluently and she can speak american sign language, as well as in italian and greek

if you’re not her family or her friend, don’t call her anything that pertains to her height (or lack thereof)

she’s a mortician and she loves her job, even if it’s emotionally trying at times

she’s a practicing witch and has been ever since she could remember

she loves creepy stuff

scary movies are her favorite

she will eat anyone out of house and home

her daughter is the love of her life

don’t come for her or her family. she can and will make your death look like an accident

tries not to curse, so she uses alternative phrases the best she can

will absolutely correct you on something if she knows she’s right about it. if she’s claiming she’s right, it’s because she is --- she learned it, didn’t guess it

dresses like a total tomboy. she only gets ‘girly’ when she’s dressing up for an event or meeting. her usual attire consists of jeans and a baggy t-shirt and converse

her hair is forever messy. she can never get it to look decent

Bez nodded, figuring their hyper aware mind could probably find the badge quickly, though they might as well get distracted by something else, but the possibilities were endless, either they found it, or they found something else. “Were you at the lake yesterday?” They asked, as they started their search.

she paused at their question, raising an eyebrow. “depends. did someone see my face? cause it coulda been my sister,” she said. it wasn’t her sister, but no one ever paid enough attention to recognize the difference between them. and it was extremely irritating considering they were complete opposites of each other and were nothing alike. but, it was true that it could have been echo. she was a medical examiner, so she did a lot of body pick ups. if there’d been a body reported, her sister would have been one of the ones to confirm and pick up. “i wasn’t right at the lake, but i took that little path as a shortcut.”

“If it’s environmental, it’s reversible too,” Ajita said, and completely believed it, after all, there had been times where she had watch documentaries about who ecosystems recovering from the worst type of disaster, and pretty quickly too, two years tops for trees and vegetation to find their way back to the hurt areas. They had less love for the police, sure, there were some good cops among their mids, but all in all, they were doing too little, investigating the water and not CITA itself. They shook their head. “We’re fudged one way or another, which is why KJ and I are running for mayor, we might get the power to actually get to the bottom of this, get outside help, from professionals that aren’t trying to hide their bad intentions”

“that’s true - even if it takes a while for it to go back to normal it’s usually able to heal up once the threat is taken away. if the environment is treated on a regular basis, it might help speed up the recovery process,” whisper said. she nodded at their statement and could only agree. it was true. they were screwed no matter what, because the ‘bosses’ of the town were complete idiots. “well, you’ll both get support from the katsopolis side. anyone to get that money goblin out of office. and if it goes your way, maybe we’ll even get to find out what that creepy cita building is doing. anything that’s that secretive usually has some pretty bad things going on and they just don’t want the public to know.”

    ajita-tannu​:

Ajita laughed, but nodded regardless, they could imagine getting a headache if they had a twin who went against all their beliefs and constantly got them into trouble. They pointed at Whisper as she said all the things they had been thinking. “Could be both, really, if it’s environmental I’ll be very very relieved, but my gut tells me it isn’t. Whatever is turning the water black, I think they’re trying to cover it up. The question is: how long has this been going on? Because it’s been months, and nobody has come up with a solution, makes you think they have the wrong intention. Not solving it, but covering it up.”

“the bad thing about it being environmental is that there’s something wrong with the surrounding environment. we definitely don’t need that. we’re a small town, we almost can’t afford to have environmental issues. if it’s not environmental and it’s manmade, who knows if it’s reversible?” whisper said. she didn’t know a whole lot about biology or science that she hadn’t learned for or during her career, but she knew there were important properties for both. “if someone can figure out the cause, they can find a solution. but if the people from cita are in charge... then we’re fudged. even the local police don’t know where to start. but at least they’re doing something.”

Bez looked around, technically if someone would question the situation, they would have enough responsibility to mention that it was all alright here. After all, they weren’t directly on the lake. And the research team wasn’t anywhere near. “I mean, I probably wouldn’t be too fast at spotting the difference, but you’re not under arrest or anything,” they assured her. “So, let me help look. What does it look like?”

“thank god, i’ve been arrested enough this month,” she said. yes, she was still petty and salty about her idiot sister’s sabotage. who wouldn’t be? “it’s on a black lanyard with a graveyard print and it’s a white badge with my picture, name, and faccone funerals and cremations on it. it says ‘mortician’ in bright red letters, that’s probably the first thing that would be noticeable on it.”

[wispykatsopolis]

   ajita-tannu​:

“That sucks,” Ajita agreed. “And wow, I will never understand what and how your sister is,” they added with a laugh, but it was always a treat to listen to the stories. And it was also fun to listen to other stories Whisper brought along with her. They gave Whisper a judgemental face however when she started talking about her senses. It was kind of special that they were still friends even though Ajita didn’t believe any of it. “‘Course not. There isn’t anything to find out, after all. But Sef enjoys pretending there is stuff to find out,” they shrugged. “I don’t think we will find anything ever, but hey, if I can unearth what CITA is doing, I’ll keep going.”

“you don’t wanna understand it, it’ll give you a headache,” she said. whisper gave them a small shrug at their statement. “something’s going on with it though, so there’s something to find out about it. the question is, what is there to find out? all that nasty water’s coming from the lake, but why? and why all of a sudden, yanno? there’s a lot i don’t understand, but i do know that water doesn’t just turn black for no reason. could be something as simple as environmental issues, honestly,” she said. “see, that’s an interesting investigation. that building gives me the heebie jeebies. if anyone finds out what they’re really doing, that’s gossip i’d actually be happy to hear.”

[wispykatsopolis]

   behrooz-najm​:

Bez made a face, feeling kind of bad that they had to tell her that, in fact, she had been trespassing, after all, there were signs - perhaps not well placed - but most importantly; there had been a press conference. “I’m sorry, but yes, you’re trespassing… technically. Are… Uhm, I can help? We can find it faster together, probably, and then I can escort you away from the lake like nothing happened.”

breaking the law, literally in front of the law. that was something her idiot sister would do. “oh, that’s... fantastic. i suppose it’s too late to say i’m echo instead of whisper,” she said, only half jokingly. “i dropped my employee badge somewhere. i think i was in this area, but i was too distracted to really remember. it’s not a huge deal if it isn’t found, but it would definitely save a lot of paperwork.”

[wispykatsopolis]

WHERE: the lake WITH OPEN

Bez looked out over the lake, notebook in hand, eyes slightly widened. A new clue, a new hint: it could all be coming from there. Their face shot up. “Wait, don’t come closer, please!” 

she wouldn’t have even been here if she hadn’t lost her lanyard. it wouldn’t be a huge deal... but on that lanyard was her employee badge, and that was a big deal. of course she had a backup at work, but she’d still rather find the one she lost. as she looked around, she didn’t even notice anyone else around her, so she flinched when she heard the other’s voice and she stopped dead in her tracks. “o...kay. i’m just looking for something i dropped somewhere in the area... i think. i’m not trespassing am i? i haven’t been paying attention to any signs or markers.”

Forty-eight hours didn’t seem too bad, and Ajita had always thought the bail was one of many proofs that America was a capitalist country on the brink of its grand extinction, but they simply nodded. Whisper seemed to always share surprising information, about records and statute of limitation, showing the reason why she stayed out of trouble was probably because she had the brains in the family. “It can’t go on your record right? You were wrongfully apprehended.” Ajita sighed, cake did make everything better, but Sef’s ghost hunting interests made their Youtube Channel a very different source of entertainment. She tried to keep the quality up by editing a lot out. “Edith Alby, we went by the lake, trying to find a source for the Black Water that’s been plaguing Pleasance.”

whisper shook her head. “nah, not permanently. it’s still on my record right now, but it will be for a few weeks because it takes a while for those charge drops to be processed through the system. they gave me a signed document to keep with me so i can show proof of wrongful arrest. i don’t get myself into trouble like echo does, so i’ll be fine until it’s cleared. how she still has a government job is beyond me,” she said with a small sigh. “oh, how fun - i always wanna investigate things but my spirit senses are like ‘you can’t deal with this, cry at the graveyard instead’, so i end up sitting at old lady mcgrady’s headstone until she gives me the ‘so help me god i’ll haunt you’ vibes,” whisper said with a shrug. “did you find anything out?”

OPEN STARTER anywhere!

     "I’M TELLING YOU, I SAW THEM!” sef asserts with the utmost sense of urgency as he tries to convince the other of what he witnessed. “those CITA guys parker their van and pulled out a body bag from the back – that, or they just had a heck ton of laundry they wanted to get rid of.”

whisper rubbed her forehead for a few seconds. “it was a body bag... they were coroners. taking a body to the funeral home. i’m the one that pronounced him and worked on him.”

     “LOOK AT MY FACE.” and like a statue sculpted exactly where he is sitting, roshan only blinks at the other as he holds his expression. “does it look like i’m impressed?”

“does it look like i am?” she asked, raising a brow.

OPEN STARTER anywhere.

     “LET ME SEE,” tomi says, leaning across the table to take a look at the other person’s screen. “yep, definitely fake.”

“really?” whisper asked, looking at the picture. “i guess push up bras are out of the question then if it looks fake.”

Ajita was on the edge of their seat as they listened to Whisper recount her day, seeing everything vividly in their mind. From Whisper in prison, to little shadow being pulled by her grandmother. How the Katsopolis got into such messes, they didn’t know, but it was fun to listen to. “How long does she need to serve?” They asked, still invested in what had actually got her into prison, but they didn’t want to ask that, perhaps it would be something considered legal anywhere else, and then they wouldn’t be able to keep themselves from feeling sorry for Whisper’s sister. “Just your regular Sunday, or well, my now-normal-Sunday. I went to church for KJ, listened to a lot of old people tell me their issues, ate some cake, and afterwards I filmed a new episode for Youtube with Sef.”

“forty-eight hours,” whisper said. “i went through hellsinki and back because echo seemed to think it would be a ‘fun idea’ to grow a freakin’ weed greenhouse without a license. but, there was only evidence to say she had anything to do with one plant, so i guess they gave her the lesser of two evils - bail was gonna be ten thousand so dad said she could stay there, and i’m not mad about it, she can deal with it. god, that makes me so mad - i had a perfect record! aside from some... teenager things back in the day, but those aren’t important and they’re way past the statute of limitations now so none of it can be used against me,” she said the last part quickly. “oh, how fun. listen, cake makes everything better even if you’re already having a good day. what’s this episode about?”

In truth, KJ had already found himself poised to lose this standoff. His brow twitched, and his lip curled. And he truly was about to avert his gaze when the noise erupted from the child’s mouth. With it, he let out something of a soft gasp, eyes widening. “Uh…yeah, know I’m not much of a looker, kiddo, but never made someone scream before.” This was a joke, not exactly funny or charismatic, but at least goodhumoredly self-deprecating. He sighed a little, managing a weak smile, as much of a proper one as someone like KJ could actually muster. “She’s got a killer poker face, though. That’s a good thing. Future in law or maybe, like…you know, card playing.” Maybe it was taboo or impolite to suggest to people that their toddlers might grow up to be professional gamblers, but to KJ, the gig sounded glamorous. 

she didn’t know why shadow started screeching like a banshee, and she’d been doing it for so long she swore she was born sounding like a prehistoric dinosaur. “she came out of the womb sounding like that. she’ll just randomly screech and scare the ever loving hellsinki out of me and then she thinks it’s funny,” whisper said, tickling the toddler’s belly and earning a laugh. “oh, i know. sometimes she makes me feel stupid when she looks at me like that. she also started flinching at people - which was funny the first time cause she was just copying my sister, but now i’m kinda thinking she’s gonna beat the other kids up at daycare. i’m just waiting for the call saying ‘shadow gave carter a bloody nose’. and normally, i’d respond with ‘well what did carter do to her to deserve it?’ but i dunno, man... sometimes i wonder if she’s secretly an evil little genius. the only person she’ll tolerate getting an attitude back from is mikey o’flaherty. if she’s acting up, he just says ‘i’ll feed you to lady mcgrady’ and she’s just like ‘whatever’ and rolls her eyes like a perfect teenager,” whisper said.

Closed starter for @wispykatsopolis​ Time: Midday Location: Downtown Pleasance

KJ did not know how to interact with children, but it was not entirely his fault. An only child with no real extended family, he had not learned to cope with siblings or cousins or nieces or nephews. But with the mayoral election approaching and his public image not exactly softened, despite his better efforts, he supposed he ought to try to make some effort to develop a personable persona. 

Of course, he had no intention of going out about kissing the babies of Pleasance. But meeting Shadow’s eye, he tried to make something of a silly face, titling his head upward. The expression felt silly. And so, he was left in a staring contest with the toddler from his vantage point on a sidewalk bench, looking more perplexed than anything else. 

while this silly face / staring contest thing was going on, whisper was responding to a text to her sister - bitching her out, because she was still salty about the other night. shadow was almost a master at 'the staring game' and could make a grown adult feel inadequate just by the blank expression on her face sometimes. lord knows it happened often enough at home. all whisper had to do was say something that was somehow appalling to a two-year-old and she'd give her a look that said 'how the hell did you make it this far, mom?' just as whisper sent the text, a sharp screech came from her daughter, which made her visibly flinch and drop her phone on the ground and look at shadow with an exasperated expression. "hey, you little pterodactyl - let's not do the dinosaur thing, some people don't like being screeched at in tyrannosaurus rex language," whisper said as she picked her phone up. "i swear she was a velociraptor in a past life. that's how she wins games, by the way. it's the shock factor, she's too smart for her own good."
