Fifth Floor Common Room | Late Morning | Friday | January 8

[therewaslife]

There wasn't a lot to do today. That fact didn't particularly bother Bod, though. He'd learned to find entertainment in the smallest things so making his way down to the common room seemed like a logical place to start.

Of course, once there, a few options were presented. He could find something on television to watch. He could spend a few minutes flipping through the channels to find something good to watch and the probably settle on something boring (he'd spent time in hotels, he knew how television worked) or he could try and make himself something to eat.

Now, that option made him hesitate. While he'd been in the graveyard, Silas or Miss Lupescu had done the majority of the food getting. Since leaving, he'd mostly stuck with fast food and prepared meals. This would almost be cooking.

Okay, no it wouldn't. There was cereal (something called Captain Crunch to be exact) and Bod figured he could manage a bowl, milk, pouring and a spoon. Still, it was more than he tended to do. With that done, he was free to find something boring on television.

"Which explain why you do not seem afraid," Firekeeper realized with a nod. "Ghosts in stories is often bad," she said, turning this thought over in her head, "but this must not be true- or not all true- if they were taking care of you."

"Some of them are bad, I'm sure," said Bod, nodding. "The ones I was with, they were good. They were caring and sympathetic and helpful. I think ghosts, like wolves probably, get a bad reputation in general society. It's not always true."

"Wolves is wild creatures," Firekeeper agreed. "Dangerous, yes, but not bad." Most wolves had little interest in harming humans, with a few notable exceptions, after all. "Some forget there is a difference."

"Ghosts are like that. This graveyard of ghosts didn't want to harm anyone. They had the ability to haunt but I was the only that really used that." And he'd used it for a good reason, he thought. Even if the situation had spiraled out of control, he'd started with good intentions. "A lot of people don't take the time to find out or ask, I've found."
