Late on the 12th

[This is a fairly rare never before seen sight for anyone. Beetlejuice is fresh from the shower, looking utterly livid, his hair a dark shade of red. He's currently trying to get some sort of horrifying stain out of his jacket, in between giving utterly hateful looks to the mirror.]

When I get my hands on the person responsible for this compulsion, I'll make Hell look like a picnic on the boardwalk.

[That's really all the demon has to say for the moment.]

( alas. )

You sold a book? I suppose it's one way to make money. Better to spend it than hoard it as it cannot go with you when you die, in the end. Giving yourself a break from the petty curse is likely well worth it, too.

And you!

I had a copy of the Handbook for the Recently Deceased on me. Not sure how useful it'll be to anyone here, but, I guess it makes for a decent paperweight or sad puppet show.

[Grin]

Actually, I try to help newly-deads keep all their cool stuff. Money's a little trickier than stuff stuff, though.

[unladenswallow]

That sounds like one of the most interesting book titles I've ever heard of before. ( she chuckles.

of course, that makes her raise her brows. ) You make it so that persons whom have died are able to take their things with them? ( that's literally what he's just said, there, ciri. ) How is that possible?

[creepyoldguy]

Haunting. Instead of going to the Netherworld after dying, I have 'em stick around. If you haunt your house well, there's no reason you can't keep your stuff.

[unladenswallow]

Oh, yes, of course. ( hauntings were tales she was familiar with. it wasn't necessarily the same thing as having your things, though. was it? ) Can the dead touch their things? I mean, they're somewhat intangible in death, aren't they?

[creepyoldguy]

If they stay in their own house, they have an easier time of it.

[unladenswallow]

That's something I'd not known about the dead. I suppose one learns every day.
