Spoopy q&a
Georgie’s door opened suddenly followed by a very loud yell “I’ve come to announce bitches got a scoop and I’m bitches!” Melanie burst into the living room while all Jon's eyes are out. They all focused on Melanie as Georgie let out a sigh.
“BLoody hell?! What the Fuck Jon.” Melanie dropped her bag. A Ghost sighting in a hospital just became a lot less of a priority on her mind.
Jon was frozen with panic, two cats asleep in his lap, an empty bowl on the armrest next to him, while a shity scifi movie was playing on the tv.
“Aah, Georgie wanted me to count all the times they used cgi effects so she could get an exact percentage ratio of when it’s used and when it isn’t. So she could win an internet battle with some random on reddit...” Jon was aware his eyes were out, and that wasn’t the answer that Melanie was looking for. But it was all he could provide.
“Oh. um...Did I make you lose count?” Cause that was the normal reply? Melanie looked to Georgie for help.
“No. I’m still paying attention to it. Currently, about 40% through the movie and the effects are surprisingly not as cgi heavy as thought it would be. Rest of the movie could prove wrong though.”
“Nice. So Um?” The two of them were locked in a staring contest. Jon occasionally blinking some of his eyes, while others stayed open.
Georgie started to hold back a laugh. Her two favorite grumpy small humans were broken in very different ways.
“Do you want to sit down Melanie?” Georgie scooted towards Jon so there was more room on the couch.
“Yeah. I think I should. Seriously what the fuck?” Melanie didn’t make it to the couch and sat on the floor.
“Well, since you broke Jon it seems, yeah, he’s got an absurd amount of eyes. He has more we can’t see too.”
“Alien? Monster? Test tube kid?”
“I’m not allowed to call myself a monster. But something close to it?” Jon finally added in. He was partially expecting her to try stabbing him or attack, but she was curious.
“Why not? Monsters are almost as cool as ghosts.”
“Because he doesn’t think monsters are as cool as you do, and uses it as a way to make himself sad.”
“Hm, that checks out. So you are rightly odd.”
“No. Not t’at-all. I’m extremely normal.” Jon smiled, the extra eyes on his face seemed to grin with him.
“You going to avoid my questions now?”
“I might. But ask away.” Melanie could notice the eyes on his arm are focused on the movie.
“Okay. So the Green blurs in pictures?”
“That's me. Think of them like spooky cameras that feed me information.”
“Does that mean you are watching me, all the time?”
“No. Just sometimes. To make sure you don’t get shot by a ghost.”
“I’m. Shot by a ghost?”
“They can do that.”
“I’m not even surprised. So what is the plan if a ghost does shot me? Can it do anything else?”
“No. but I can call and send help from wherever I am.”
“Hmmm. Let me know from now on, but I’ll let it slide for all the times in the past. How many eyes you got?”
“As many as I need or want. Most I’ve had was 306 on my body.”
She paused for a sec before continuing. “Does it hurt?”
“Hurt?”
“Yeah, having your vision all over. Like is it painful or disorienting? Having so many inputs.”
Jon paused for a moment to think. There was a bit of static in the air before: “I never questioned it before. But I suppose it did at one point. When I first got them, I could barely get out of bed. For a long while. But everything hurt so I didn’t notice. It doesn’t now.”
“Can you see Shrimp colours, or they just like human eyes, just more?”
“Not as many colours as those shrimp, but I can see about 5 more colours I don’t have names for.”
“Fuck off.”
Jon laughed. “It’s interesting. But can’t say it’s at all handy. Since no one else can see them, it's more like I’m colour blind now. Doesn’t quite affect everything the way you’d think. There are levels of grime that I’ve got the grand front row seats to witness. Just another horrible gift from my horrible patron.”
“Does seeing those colours make it easier to locate, I dunno Ghosts?”
“No. I can see them with the normal human spectrum.”
“Jon! You never told me that.” Georgie grinned while her voice sounded offended.
“I forgot? No, not forgot. Didn’t even think to tell you?”
“I will forgive you if you use your spooky powers to help me and Melanie with a joint episode cross over.”
Jon paused. “You know. That might be fun. Change of pace from the normal. Only thing neither of you can mention me, or the Magnus Institute in the episodes.”
“Deal.” They both look excited.
“Want to finish the movie for now, then we can talk details? The scoop you came in with might have good material to work with?”
Melanie nodded and joined the two on the couch. The three of them spent the next 38 minutes ripping on the movie.
