[ghostful]

[Oh— so the pretty lady at least sort of knew he was there! Admittedly, Taesoo didn't really know much about spirit mediums or anything, so he was honestly a little surprised. He'd never encountered one before— the only way humans had known of his presence was when he made himself known.

Which he's doing right now— startling several other people on the street, since this young man had apparently popped out of nowhere? Eventually they move on, though, and Taesoo kind of— hunches forward a little bit, clearly looking apologetic.]

Ah— sorry, that's just me.

[feythful]

Whoa—!

[Maya jumps a little when Taesoo appears, though more out of surprise than fear. (the other people shouldn't be too bothered anyway, it's not like normal is a thing when Phoenix Wright is on a case.) she regards him curiously once she's gotten over the momentary shock.]

How'd you do that?

[ghostful]

Oh—

[He's clearly amused, and smiling widely.]

I'm a ghost!

[feythful]

What, really?

[she doesn't immediately discount it; how could she, given her line of work? sure, he could be an illusionist (there was a traveling magician group in town, after all), but something had roused her spiritual senses...]

I've never seen one in person before—or, y'know, outside of channeling!

[ghostful]

Oh...

[He doesn't actually know what channeling is because he's never had to deal with a medium or anyone of that general ilk. It didn't matter, though.]

Well, now you have!

[He stands proudly there— almost posing, for a moment.]

You're very pretty, by the way.

[feythful]

[so she's seen her first spirit outside of a medium's body. that same spirit just hit on her.

today is turning out very strangely, and this is coming from someone who took part in a murder trial in which a parrot was a key witness in uncovering the true culprit. she blushes a little, not being used to compliments of that nature; people usually think she's too childlike or rambunctious to comment on her appearance...! or, you know, just kind of weird based on her outfit and hairstyle. such is life.]

Uh... thanks, Mr. Ghost Guy?

[ghostful]

Oh! [He laughs again.] I'm Taesoo. I should've said that first.

[He almost holds out a hand to shake until he remembers that he's not corporeal. It's been ten years, sure, but he still ... forgets, sometimes. Plus, it can't hurt to be polite?]

Umm, were you going somewhere?

[feythful]

[oh, poor dude. Maya tries to smile in sympathy when she realizes what he just attempted to do, hoping that he didn't feel too bad about things.]

Just on my way to a friend's house...

Have you been following me for long—[she pauses, before quickly appending,]—Taesoo?

[if there's one thing she knows about the dead, it's to treat them with respect!]

[ghostful]

Not long at all. You noticed me really fast, you must be spiritually attuned.

[He leans in a little bit.]

Right?

[feythful]

Oh—yeah! I'm a spirit medium.

[she spreads her arms to better show off her outfit, while also gesturing to the magatama around her neck. she actually looks pretty proud of this, in spite of her previous sheepishness.]

Kind of explains the weird clothes now, huh? 'Cause I get that a lot.

[ghostful]

Oh— they're pretty, though!

[He smiles at her good-naturedly. Sure, he might be trying to flirt a little, but he also genuinely meant it. He liked interesting clothes, and these were nothing if not that.]

But you're a spirit medium, huh... do you like, exorcise spirits, and stuff?

[Maybe this conversation was dangerous!]

[feythful]

[gosh, her face is gonna permanently be stuck red if he keeps this up. she can at least distract herself with the topic at hand, though!]

Oh, no, not exorcising! I channel spirits. Which is why I'm surprised I'm talking to you... I'm used to them taking over my body.

[she'd usually be a little more vague about the whole process, but seeing as he's a ghost himself, she doesn't see anything wrong with being candid about it.]

[ghostful]

[He can't help but laugh slightly. If she was this easy to fluster, the least he could do is not fluster her even more. That just seemed kind of mean to him. And if there was anything Taesoo didn't like to be, it was mean!]

Oh! I see. That's interesting. I guess there's a lot about ghosts that I don't know.

[feythful]

Huh, you're a ghost who doesn't know about ghosts?

[that's not rude to say, is it? she hopes it's not! she is such a motormouth. at least she didn't call him weird...]

[ghostful]

Well, I didn't know they could take over people's bodies?

[He definitely wouldn't ever do something like that... it seemed weird to him somehow.]

And there aren't really ghost networking events or anything like that...

[feythful]

[... makes sense! any comments she could make might risk more awkwardness than what she's already brought up, so she just moves right on.]

Are you tethered to a specific place from when you were alive...? I can't really say I know a lot of spirits, but I know they have some kind of connection to the spirit world.
