03-01 Ghost Girls

Emad needs a new Master Plot adventure. He's beginning to act like a bored house husband! After the Beckett wedding, Emad woke up with a wish to have a baby with Bebhinn.

No. Absolutely not!
Me: Don't give me that Evil-Eye look! You are NOT having another baby. Find something else to do!

His "something else to do" was to follow Bebhinn around. She had the day off, but that didn't stop her from Working From Home the minute she woke up.

Emad waited patiently beside her. He wanted to flirt. I finally took pity on him and made Bebhinn stop work.

After breakfast, Bebhinn chatted on the phone with a coworker while Emad--literally--hovered nearby to kiss her.

By that time, Faith was awake, so I had Emad feed her just as Bebhinn got out her portable office. I could tell it was going to be a long day! When Emad went outside to hug the horse, I knew I had to get him away from the house!

There were a couple of paparazzi between the Faraz property and the townie apartments. I remembered I needed two more female ghosts for the graveyard. Aha! A plan formed in my mind. And here's where Emad could help. I had him ensorcel the lady. He was more than happy to oblige!

Hearts popped up between the two. I'm sure Emad had his own ideas about what to do with the woman, but he was in for another disappointment. I sent him and his victim straight to the Ghastly Community Center Graveyard.

Emad quickly started chatting her up. But before he could switch to romance, I used NRaas to, uh, bring about her instant demise. By fire.

I retrieved her tombstone from the Mausoleum, engraved her epitaph, and spawned her ghost. I had Emad talk to her again to make sure she had "survived" the ordeal and wasn't glitched in any way.

Then I think it hit him that he'd lost his ensorceled lady. She was now a haunting spirit. ... She was dead!

But Emad is nothing if not daring, a true risk taker. He must have decided romancing a ghost would be a real thrill because he quickly queued up a Pick Up Line.

Oh for the love of ...!
Me: NO! Come with me, Emad. We have to find another useless paparazzi female.

It took a little NRaas searching, but I tracked down a ghost candidate in the public area of the apartment house. Perfect. Once again, Emad used his encorceling powers.

He liked this one too. More hearts. Or maybe the girls just liked him. Either way, he was eager to play. This time though, I teleported Emad and his victim to the graveyard, then finished her off before Emad got too friendly.

I chose death by meteor for this poor paparazzi. And I used the same process to check on her spirit-self. Emad was at the ready. He initiated a Flirt before I could stop him. But I promptly cut him off.

The ghost then went into the dungeon prison cell and took a shower. Trying to cool down, I suppose.

Emad figured out where the other ghost lady had gone and followed her down to the bar. He wanted to try that Pick Up Line again! I made him order a round of drinks instead.

Meanwhile the two ghosts found each other. It was not a happy encounter. Jealousy is an ugly thing!

Emad drowned his disappointment with a skill drink. Did he honestly think I was giving him permission to ensorcel women for his fun and games? ... Yes. He did.

Me: Put that skill drink to good use, Emad. Remember your wish to master athletics? Well, chin up, buddy!

When I finally let him go home, he was still confused. But he managed to come up with another wish.

Emad: Can I woohoo with Bebhinn?
Me: Of course, Emad. ... But NO baby!
