5th floor common room - Morning

Jacob had woken up to a lot of snow, a powerless dormitory and a growling stomach. The latter two had cause a problem because cornflakes were just cornflakes and Jacob wanted to more. The blizzard hadn't caused much of an obstacle, not when you could change into a werewolf built to brave cold weather. He'd been across the island in a flash and while he'd gotten some strange looks for showing up in just a pair of jeans at J,GOB, the baker hadn't asked any questions. Which was once more evidence of how much the people on the island had gotten used to situations like this and luckily, the bakery had a back up generator. So Jacob had gotten a huge bag full of pastries for 'those poor students'. He suspected that J,GOB hadn't really been expecting a whole lot of customers.

So now, said bag had been upended on the dinner table. The bag itself had been thrown into the bin in Jake's room. It wouldn't do to have anyone take notice of the teeth marks on it. Jacob lay sprawled upon the couch in just a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, his hair still a little wet, while he munched on a muffin. In his boredom, he might just end up eating his way through the stack of food.

Best not to let him stay bored.

"Like where could I go where others went?" asked Bod, trying to make sure he gave the correct information.

Jacob nodded. "Because the only place I can see them going is well... not so much for anyone alive."

"I can't go underground," he assured him, shaking his head. "I can find different crypts though. I could see other ghosts and slip into crevices and nooks that no one else could see."

And that wasn't even mentioning the ghoul gate.

Those were... weird places to go to. "And you can't go there now?"

"Well, I'm not there anymore," he pointed out even if he knew that wasn't what Jacob meant. He laughed, shook his head. "I can't. I don't have the same freedom anymore. No more connection to that place for the most part."

"That's got to be some graveyard," Jacob replied, because he couldn't imagine that happening if he just hang out on the local graveyard.

[personal profile] therewaslife 2010-01-16 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"I don't know if it's the graveyard so much as the ghosts," he told him. The graveyard hadn't seemed very unique to him. The ghosts contained within, that was unique. "I think they were the ones that made the graveyard what it is."

[identity profile] need-no-moon.livejournal.com 2010-01-16 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
"I've never seen a ghost," Jacob said, almost thoughtful. "So you think they let you do that stuff?"

"I know they did. It's the only way I'd be able," said Bod, nodding and curling his arms around him, trying to get arm. "If they didn't, I'd just see graves and crypts and everything else."

[identity profile] need-no-moon.livejournal.com 2010-01-16 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"So why did they let you see them?" Jacob asked.
therewaslife: (→ | down on the dock)

[personal profile] therewaslife 2010-01-16 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"They adopted me." He shrugged, unable to find any better way to explain it. "And they cared for me. I had to be able to see them."

[identity profile] need-no-moon.livejournal.com 2010-01-16 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Jacob nodded, not that it made sense. "So did they get you a bed?"
therewaslife: (→ | kinda thuggy)

[personal profile] therewaslife 2010-01-16 08:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"I had a bed," he said, nodding. "I didn't sleep on the ground or in a casket, if that's what you're wondering. It wasn't too different of an upbringing."

Of course, to him, it wasn't. To Jacob, it seemed to be very different.

"I'd say it's at least a bit different," Jacob laughed, shaking his head.

[personal profile] therewaslife 2010-01-16 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well. Probably." Bod grinned and shrugged again. "You wouldn't have known if I hadn't told you, right? I couldn't have acted too differently."

[identity profile] need-no-moon.livejournal.com 2010-01-16 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"No," Jacob agreed, plopping back down on the couch. "You're pretty normal looking."

[personal profile] therewaslife 2010-01-16 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"If I were a ghost, I think you would have noticed by now," laughed Bod, finishing up his donuts. "I don't think I'd be able to hold food, for one."

[identity profile] need-no-moon.livejournal.com 2010-01-16 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"I saw you sleep," Jacob said. "I don't think ghosts do that either. Do they?"
therewaslife: (→ | wide awake)

[personal profile] therewaslife 2010-01-16 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sleep?" Bod shrugged, not really knowing. "They're not always out and about but, if you think about it, they're eternally sleeping. That's how Nehemiah Trot put it to me once."

[identity profile] need-no-moon.livejournal.com 2010-01-16 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"So they're sleepwalking?" Jacob asked, it made very little sense to him.

"In a sense." It was hard to explain, Bod knew, and it was harder to understand if you'd never thought about it before. He knew his parents didn't sleep, that Silas did, that he did. "They rest at night. Most of them. During the day, they wander the graveyard and I can see them, Silas can see them. At night, they rest in their graves."

"So the whole ghosts during the night thing is bogus?" Jacob asked, trying not to think of the whole resting in a casket with your own body.
therewaslife: (↑ | i can be smug)

[personal profile] therewaslife 2010-01-16 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
"It depends on the ghost, I think. Some ghosts were awake at night. But no, they're awake and around during the day as well," Bod clarified. "Some ghosts are nocturnal just like any human person."

[identity profile] need-no-moon.livejournal.com 2010-01-17 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
"Talk about ruining the stereotype," Jacob said. Well, he probably did that too.

[personal profile] therewaslife 2010-01-17 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Bod laughed, shrugging. "I've heard a variation of that statement a few times. I apologize, I didn't mean to tarnish you image of ghosts."
