- Uh...
[That's the only sound that comes out of the feed once it switches on; gold eyes blinking owlishly at the screen for a moment as Lapis realizes that yep, it's recording. Slowly opening her mouth to speak once more, before... something off-screen catches her attention. Prompting her to nod, before she turns her eyes back to the screen to focus on texting instead.]
so i guess this is the only way everyone can understand me, so i'll stick with this.
i know we have to deal with those bug things right now, but i've never really lived with.. other people before. besides my family, anyway. so there's something i want to get out of the way, since i know not everyone likes this kinda thing.
i have a ghost with me. [At least she's straight to the point.] most people can't see him but he's there.
[A pause, before she shifts underneath her to grab some of the sheets of her new bed that she's been sitting on - throwing them behind her. Which then land and drape over the invisible figure that was floating behind her, who puts his hands on his hips in a 'are you serious' manner - his new cloak allowing others to see the movement.]
i just figured it would be easier to let people know this way, rather than explaining it whenever i ask him to do something. also no, he won't haunt anyone or anything like that.
[This is clearly the best way to introduce herself, A+ Lapis.]

that's right, and he's called mitchell. what's your name? and he helps me fight more violent ghosts, yeah. i don't do any other fighting besides that.
[Because she's a squishy who kinda panics at the thought of hurting people herself.]
no subject
I'm Jin. Give him my regards too.
Can he affect the environment? Or physical beings? Somehow, I've got a feeling that what we're going to be dealing with on missions won't be limited to just ghosts.
no subject
nice to meet you jin, and i will.
he can, luckily. one of his tricks is that he can create and manipulate fire, along with the usual ghost stuff, so he's definitely able to fight against non-ghosts.
no subject
Any reason why you have a ghost tagging along? [He's nosy, sue him.] Doubt you picked him up from a personals ad.
no subject
but i met him when i was young, and he's been acting like a guardian ever since. i had others with me, but he was the only one who came along.
no subject
So just a spirit familiar, still hanging around our mortal coil out of the goodness of his heart. Sounds like you lucked out.
It's not a family thing? Ancestral spirits can be a powerful thing-- I've seen those more than once before.
no subject
yeah, i was really lucky. [Even though it's said over text, the fondness she has for her spirit companion is obvious.]
and nope, not familial at all. he decided i needed someone to look out for me, especially since my powers might attract unsavory spirits. so he is kind of like a big brother now.
