If you'd like to reach the Ghost Host, simply calling for him will do the trick. An omniscient presence, he'll be sure to appear before you as soon as he's available.

Comments are screened for privacy. A good Host never reveals his guest's secrets.

I know what's supposed to be in the envelopes secondhand. I haven't seen inside them.

[folkscallmewander]

Oh. [Oh. That. Well, he doesn't have to delve too many details of his backstory then.] Well, thanks. It does help knowin' you didn't take a peek.

...But you do know, then, why this last envelope's got everyone upset.

[yourghosthost]

I have some idea.

[folkscallmewander]

[Wander takes a moment to contemplate his next question.]

...Do most of the ghosts get along with each other? You never mentioned bein' friends with the others.

[yourghosthost]

Yes. There are a number of parties thrown here in the mansion.

I socialize. I'm not the sort to surround myself with others.

[folkscallmewander]

Doesn't that get lonely? I mean, outside of parties, do you ever just talk to each other, or do you hide away in your rooms?

...How do y'all fit in this mansion?

[yourghosthost]

We mingle. Of course we do. I'm just not the talkative sort.

[folkscallmewander]

I can see that! [Wander pls] But it's good to hang out with other folks from time to time. Heck, I do appreciate you takin' the time just to talk to me. I reckon you're really busy runnin' this mansion.

[yourghosthost]

It tends to sort itself out. There's a few wildcards here and there, but it's not as difficult as you might think most days.

[folkscallmewander]

Isn't that how life is.

And unlife, too.
