Fuda #33 . reaching out [video]

I don't suppose anyone here is good at chopping wood? And heaving lifting.

[If anyone thinks that's a loaded question: it definitely is. For a couple of days now he's been working on a campsite, and it's a lot more work - and a lot less fun - than he expected. It's great at keeping his mind off of less pleasant thoughts, however. Working out usually is.]

[Later in the day, he makes a post that he hasn't looked forward to. His little Luceti family has shrunk so much lately. Tsuzuki knows that it's for the best - that going home is good for them - but he still can't help missing them.]

Link's gone home. He's left letters for some people.

I just felt like some people ought to know.

Not that I know. Why would they?

You said you could only see them while they were in the castle. What happens when they move outside the castle?

They're still entirely visible, I'm sure. It's not like I'm ever outside of the school while they are.

In Japan, spirits tend to gravitate to places they have a strong connection to. Do you know if it's the same back where you come from?

[...actually that's a good question.] ...I'm not sure. I know that several of the ghosts at the castle were previously students of Hogwarts, so it might actually be possible.

What are the spirits like in Japan then?

Oh, that depends entirely on themselves. If they're so attached that they stay, they usually get corrupted in some way, unfortunately. It's not healthy for them to avoid reincarnation.

What about yours?

None of our ghosts seem very corrupted to be honest. They actually seem happy at Hogwarts. Can't tell you why even if I wanted to.

If they're happy and whole, why haven't they passed on?

The real question is, why should they?

How else are they going to get reincarnated? And don't they miss eating real food?

Perhaps they don't want to be reincarnated. Don't ghosts lose their memories of their previous life when that happens?

That's kinder than letting them remember. They can't go back, so remembering will only hurt them.

I think you're not giving them enough credit, honestly. If they were miserable, you think they'd say so.

Yes, perhaps. Japanese ghosts don't share their discontent in that way.

In what way then?

[ooc: Oh I forgot to mention, Draco was talking about Tsuzuki's experience with ghosts here if you were interested in another post to tag or such.]

They usually change in appearance. It's apparently really scary if you're not used to it.

[ooc: Neat! Thanks for alerting me. :D I'll go give him a tag.]

...Tsuzuki tell me something. Since Hisoka's never really explained this...how are you two different from ghosts?

[ooc: no worries! <3]

[Tsuzuki tilts his head. Draco always have such interesting questions.]

I suppose we're ghosts with a lot of power. Because of that, we have been assigned flesh-and-blood bodies.

Most ghosts can't control anything, not even their own emotions.

So it's all a ranking system. If you couldn't perform the magic you can, you wouldn't be human-esque at all.

I couldn't perform magic when I became a shinigami. I just had a big potential to be good at it.

But... I guess it can be thought of as a ranking system? I never thought of it that way. Not all talented ghosts are allowed to become shinigami, after all.

So who chooses who becomes one?

Enm-- well, I guess you could say he's a god of the underworld. Not sure if you have any of those.

I'm familiar with them, though I'm not certain they're real. All mythology where I come from. Who is he?

You mean we don't have the same mythology? --Er, he's the king of the underworld, basically.

No, the mythology's the same. Hades, correct? It's just that, well, the gods don't exist.
