the boardwalk ; monday afternoon

Despite the problems Sam had been having with his ghosts disrupting people (or person) lately, he wasn't in too bad a mood today. That might have been because he'd gone out skateboarding for a long, long time and was just now sitting down to take a breather. He was hot and sweaty but it had felt good to channel some of his discontent and guilt into exercise. He swiped his sweaty hair out of his eyes and stretched his legs out, using his skateboard as a foot stool for the moment.

He was spending as much time away from the tents as he could and therefore, spending as much time not sleeping as possible. It might be unhealthy but there was no way he was gonna risk scaring people he didn't know with random ghost visits. It was hard enough that he was bothering Natalie with it.

So, he wasn't sleeping and he was barely around the campsite which meant he was either off skateboarding, walking, or just...doing something that kept him away and didn't put his tentmates at risk.

It was stupid, he knew, because most people here were used to weird things but Sam was stupid at the best of times.

"It's not very common," George admitted. "One of my sister's friends has a cousin who is... All I've heard of him is a story of him putting a dead bird inside her doll when she was small making it move." Cerise had never quite taken to necromancer since.

"... I'm not certain I'm missing out."

George was not like that, and glad of it.

Sam chuckled a bit and nodded. "Yeah, that little move doesn't sound like it was fun. Does the power come in handy for you at all?"

George allowed himself a small smile. "You would be surprised." As a spy, the ability to inhabit the body of a mouse, or a squirrel, or a bird, was very useful. "For an incredibly morbid skill, it does."

"I'm sorry," his manners, he forgot them, and George offered a hand. "I'm George." Having shared all that, it seemed only right.

"Sam," he replied and shook that hand. "Nice to meet you, George. You a new student or just one I haven't met yet?"
