[He shouldn't be asking questions, the answers he gets from Michael are always horrifying or just plain depressing, but... one slips out anyway.]

So where did the idea of 'ghosts' come from then? If no one is allowed to visit?

[eudaimonikos]

Weird electrical fields, and illnesses humans didn't understand yet. Same as demons - we're real, but we don't go to Earth to mess with people. Even when I did, I didn't have any of my powers. Just looked like this.

[He gestures to his regular human body.]

[vagabone]

'Weird electrical fields'? I don't even know what that means. How do you get from that to seeing the ghost of... I don't know, your dead grandpa or whatever?

[eudaimonikos]

Certain levels of atmospheric electricity can make humans feel dread, or the sense of a presence around them. After that - [He waves a hand carelessly.] - you're imaginative and you want to believe the dead are around. Also, not that hard to make you hallucinate.

[.....]

Maybe not you, specifically. Without the meat brain, there's a lot fewer weaknesses.

[Hah. For once he can surprise the demon dude, maybe, and he's going to take pride in that, stupid as it is.]

Don't be so sure about that! We can have allergies. Get itchy and sneeze and such. And, ah, you know... get drunk and all that implies. Anything a living person can do.

[eudaimonikos]

.....then why are you even skeletons?

[vagabone]

[He doesn't have a good answer to that. So.]

...Skeletons are cool?
