...Yeah, come to think of it, a lot of cops don't seem to like us, or turn out to be murderers. Except Detective Gumshoe, that is.

[It is.]

Yup. Well... Not everyone. Right now, only my cousin and me can actually channel spirits.

[donotlick]

The hating part comes with the territory. The murder doesn't, obviously.

[ Hank's a good bad-cop!! ]

Huh. So it's some kinda... bloodline thing?

[itwasfeyt]

Yup. My ancestor, Ami Fey, invented the technique! The women in the family have been training to do it for centuries! Some of us are better at it than others, my little cousin is like a prodigy.

[Because she is, even if Maya has more raw power than her.]

[donotlick]

Damn. How old's your little cousin?

[ This is a lot, but Maya seems too earnest to be making it all up. ]

[itwasfeyt]

Pearly's only eight! [...] I think. It's weird remembering things sometimes.

[donotlick]

Shit, she's just a kid. And she can already talk to ghosts?

[itwasfeyt]

It's not so much talking to them as... asking them to posses your body for a little while, so they can talk to the living.

[Normal stuff!!]

[donotlick]

Okay, sure, what the fuck!?

[itwasfeyt]

What...? It's a process a lot of mediums have done!

[donotlick]

You... let yourself get possessed? Like, you let a ghost inside you?

[itwasfeyt]

Yeah! I mean, how else are you gonna let the spirit speak?

[donotlick]

That sounds.... super creepy, Maya. I'm sorry.

I mean, what happens to you when you get possessed?

[itwasfeyt]

Oh! Well... it's kind of like me taking a nap. I don't actually know or see what happens during it.

[donotlick]

That's -- couldn't some evil ghost like, take over your body or something? How do you know when to let the right ones in?

[ This is a horror movie waiting to happen. Or, you know, Trials and Tribulations ]
