Hello, everyone.

I've never been on a ship like this before. Or any ship, really, so I can't say for certain whether the person in charge is always so elusive when it comes to answering questions. I suspect he thinks it's all in good fun, making you believe one thing but telling you another. I don't think I understand his humor, though.

I'm a little concerned about having made a deal with him - he could be one of the Rotfang conspirators in disguise and is set on prolonging this journey indefinitely until all our worlds are nothing but dust and spores.

Is that why all of you are having such strange dreams?

Either way, I hope there's pudding involved. It makes death seem just a little bit cheerier. I think that's why people eat so much at funerals.

Ghosts must get very jealous during mealtimes.

So you're a medium, then?

[whatthewrackspurt]

I'm a witch.

A medium-sized witch.

[changeitroundsome]

[Pause. Blink. Chuckle.]

So I see. So it's regular, for witches in your world to see the dead?

Video

[whatthewrackspurt]

Oh, yes. And wizards, and everyone else, practically. They make themselves quite obvious.

Video

[changeitroundsome]

Well, how about that. They don't make themselves all that known, where I come from. You got to have the right skills to converse with the dead.

Video

[whatthewrackspurt]

But you can still speak with them.

You must have lots of skills.

[changeitroundsome]

Well, yeah, but I'm a bokor. Lot of ancient magic, I got, thanks to my friends.

Are they nice, your friends?

[Is there a nice way to spin that he failed on a bargain with them, and they took his soul as repayment, dragging him into the voodoo spirit realm for all eternity?]

[changeitroundsome]

[No. Probably not.]

They got their moments.

[Luna peers curiously at Facilier, tilting her head. She's looking rather intensely at him]

So not very, then.

[changeitroundsome]

All depends on their mood, really. Whatever fancy takes them at the time.

[whatthewrackspurt]

When we go out to visit other magical creatures, sometimes it helps to take a snack along in order to entice friendliness. Perhaps your friends would be in a better mood if you did that.

[changeitroundsome]

Well, they do like to have their offerings. Usually that's alcohol or bones, though.

[whatthewrackspurt]

Do you know if they make alcohol out of bones?

[changeitroundsome]

Don't think so, then again, I reckon that the Ghede are capable of turnin' just about anything into alcohol if they really want.

[whatthewrackspurt]

That's a handy trick. It could solve a lot of emergencies at parties.

[changeitroundsome]

And believe you me, they do love their parties.

[whatthewrackspurt]

Can I meet them? Your friends?

[changeitroundsome]

They don't exactly talk to just anyone.

[whatthewrackspurt]

I could sing them a song? Perhaps that would lure them out of hiding.

[changeitroundsome]

Well, they are fond of celebrations.

[whatthewrackspurt]

So am I. Are you?

[changeitroundsome]

On occasion. You have to be, to really bring some of the Loa out.

[whatthewrackspurt]

...Voodoo?
