• To help browsing all ghosts easily, please put [Name of Ghost Character] - [Location of Ghost in Wonderland] into the subject line, so everybody can immediately see who they'll encounter, and where.

•If you have any more questions about the ghosts, or the Christmas event in general, go ahead and post a comment to our Q & A thread!

• In short, STEP 1: Posts with ghosts! STEP 2: ?!?! STEP 3: PROFIT!

The Story:

And so it begins.

Throughout the mansion faded images will flicker in and out – ghosts of Wonderland's future. These ghosts can be of anyone, from any point in the next five years. They will play on repeat, as Wonderland's Chess Piece Ghosts have in the past, and they will offer brief glimpses into the future for anyone who witnesses them.

They cannot be stopped, and the images cannot be changed or altered. This isn't to say that the future can't eventually be changed, of course, but there is nothing that anyone can do over the course of this event that will change the contents of these imprints.

[In fact he has not, but he does understand worrying about free will and shit like that and the penny visibly drops, wiping the last of the smarminess from Greed's expression.]

Call it more advance warning, then, if you don't want it. But if you do want something, I'm not listening to any crap about can't or shouldn't, all right?

[oversight]

[Blake's able to maneuver the second screen mostly into place, and in that time, he's silent as he spreads the panels and covers over the image that's been dogging him pretty hard. When he's finished, he looks at his friend and wipes the back of his hand across his face in sort of a half-unconscious motion.]

You think I look like a guy that's wantin' for much?

[Truthfully, there are a great many things he shouldn't and can't have and thus does not. And he knows that's important, even if Greed's saying it's not as important as the desire itself.]

Pretty sure Wonderland's got it all.

[So much ruefulness.]

[appealingavarice]

Yeah. [Seriously, was that a trick question?] You're breathing. Anyone who doesn't want something they don't have is either dead or lying.

[oversight]

[Blake takes a second to double check that the angles work for the areas of his bedroom where he spends the most time, but it's just so he doesn't have to think too hard about what Greed's saying.

Of course there are things he wants. Of course. He's not dead, but he's also not lying, and he's also not exactly fighting for what he wants.]

Yeah, okay. Just want the shit in this place to make sense. How's that?

[Good enough, right? Blake can openly want for something everyone in Wonderland wants.]

[appealingavarice]

[That may not be a lie, but it is at least bullshit- obfuscation, the prince supplies- and although Greed's starting from a good enough mood not to be particularly mad about it, he's still going to give Blake a Look.] How original.

[oversight]

[He stops what he's doing under the scrutiny and it's more than enough to get him sighing.]

What? Sorry that answer doesn't satisfy. What d'you want me to say here?

[appealingavarice]

Something I wouldn't hear from everyone else in the building. [If that was a rhetorical question... well, stop asking those about what Greed wants because he will have an answer. Right now, not knowing things bugs him.] You know there's nothing wrong with wanting something for yourself, right?

[oversight]

[The headache that's plaguing him seems to only be getting worse, and he finally sighs, shoulders slumping as he dips to sit on his bed.]

Yeah... [Damn you, Greed. Why do you have to be so consistent?] Yeah, know that.

[He's not sure what else to say, but...]

Ask me again in a week, yeah?

[appealingavarice]

[Because how he is is awesome, so why would he ever want to deviate from that? He slouches into a seat of his own, much less bothered now.] I can do that. Think about it, right? I know the hero types tend to have trouble with the concept.

[oversight]

Hero types, eh?

[He smirks and tries not to question the reasoning behind that, because it's already pretty clear, even if John doesn't necessarily feel all that much like a hero.]

Definitely think on it. Thanks for the help. Really 'preciate it.
