Chris's Links
Woah, woah, woah. Okay, first thing's first, Alex is pretty coo'. I mean like... she's a goddamn ninja - like a REAL one. Good friend of Caek's too, so by Chris' standards that means they're all good.
Not only that though, they can TOUCH ghosts! Plus, they can't be possessed at all, it's like there's another spirit in their body already or something. Now this sounds like a mystery to be solved by Detective Chris Holmes!
A friend-of-a-friend, seems a neat enough guy. Unusual too - whilst Alex has plenty of experience dealing with the spiritually-natured, straight-up standard 'ghosts' without any of the fancy trimming are rare where shi's from. Not that death seems to've taken anything from him - still seems pleasant enough.
Albeit, he could do with, uh, toning down the occasional creepy stalking perhaps? What does he want from hir?
Dude needs to like, socialise more. Like, yeah he's pleasant, nice chap and all that, but c'mon, live a little - whilst you're still living!
...Okay, admittedly Chris knows Boa maaay be having some issues he's not too keen on sharing. But still, share something! You may very well NEED to!
Chris is... unfortunate? Boa doesn't really know Chris THAT well admittedly, while they're a work colleague, they haven't actually properly spoke at length. But anyone who can make the most of a bad situation, and still have THAT sort of infectious personality that is weirdly endearing is a good in his books! Still, he has sympathy for the ghost. And on the plus side, actually KNOWING a ghost makes it significantly easier to conduct research on them. Generally all-round good guy! ...Well, other than hoping they don't decide to prank him while he's working.
Caek? Caek's a good friend - one who can take a bit of fun and is easy-going enough to not really object to the occasional ghostly antics! Hell, Chris even gets to be Caek's body's 'designated driver' for particular drunken nights, something that the ghost ain't complaining about!
Of course, there iiis the matter of Holly. I mean, Chris is sure Caek wouldn't really mind THAT much - kinda hard to talk it over though, right?
Hey-hey, Chris is pretty dang great! Caek and Chris get on well, probably in large part due to their similarly quite perky personalities, and their love of performance. Admittedly, Caek does feel guilty that the only really applicable advert she could ever use Chris in would be... well, probably one he'd not be so keen in appearing in.
Either way, Caek blatantly places a lot of trust in Chris. I mean, you HAVE to place some trust in someone if you're gonna allow them to occasionally possess your body.
Woah there Stabby McFacerkins, you better put that knife away! 'Cause like, Chris barely knows you, but one thing's for sure - the Phanton Facepuncher's got your number! So you try and stab anyone in the Phantom's neighbourhood again? You can sure as hell bet you'll find yourself walking in the opposite direction! Plausibly with someone else walking your feet for you! YEAH!
No. No she better not see this goddamned piece of shit son of a bitch ghost again. Because no. Nnnno. One time was enough. But having someone else control you, against your will, is insulting, and scary, and horrible, and it makes her feel so vulnerable and weak. And to change her body? She's had enough of that already, and to experience it again was... uncomfortable, and upsetting, and she can't stab a ghost. She can't do ANYTHING to a ghost but it can do ANYTHING to her and... no. No let's just... not think about it.
Oh no. Ooooh no. It's a nutjob, it's a real honest-to-god nutjob. Like, Chris knows nutjobs, Chris has DATED nutjobs. Hell, in a long distant past, Zankh seems almost like someone Chris would've dated - she has enough of a deceptively positive attitude for it to've at least been considered. Still, the way she waves that sword around? Nuh-uh, it ain't happenin'.
Chris just hopes he can keep her distracted with all the theatre stuff. Albeit, sending the person you intend to avoid giving information to to one of the places you most like to spend time... Okay, maybe that wasn't the BEST plan.
Ohey, it's Vas! Vas is like, super-neat, big friendly giant sort. Okay, admittedly marginally more face-punchy than the BFG, rather intimidating when he wants to be, and all kinds of scary when he really loses his temper, but still! They're like, practically housemates of a sorts - making good conversation for each other on the late nights where all the other barstaff have gone back to their respective homes.
Vas, in a way, is a lot of what Chris would aspire to be. A big, almost cartoonishly manly hero of sorts, with a strong moral compass and will to save the day! Though Chris perhaps worries sometimes he may take said aspirations... a li'l far.
Oh Chris, she's - uh, he's? Ttthey? Okay, admittedly Vas has some difficulties when it comes to mentally asserting for himself how to address Chris - still the ghost doesn't really seem to actually mind all that much, which is probably for the best. Makes conversation easier when you don't have to constantly be worrying about that sorta thing.
Chris is someone Vas spends a lot of time talking to and confiding in. Considering Chris is both capable enough of listening in on basically everything, and is the only person left to talk to at the end of the day, the ghost has essentially become Vas go-to person when he simply needs to offload after a harsh day.
Oh yeah, Chris has seen them about at the bar! And a couple of times outside it maybe? Yeah, they've seen 'em about!
Can't say they know 'em all too well. Still, seem to be in the good books of everyone else around so... Well, they're alright by Chris!
I AM A GHOST
Aaah! A ghost!
A ghost who's in a pretty sucky situation, sure, but also a ghost who really needs to learn privacy.
Ever since finding out that she has a new friend who can go through walls and show up completely unannounced and can turn invisible whilst doing all of those above things, Rag has been a little bit on edge. The last thing she needs is for Chris to show up and see her wallowing in bed and realising just how pathetic and dumb and stupid she is.
....But despite all that, it's nice to have a friend. It's nice to have someone she can talk to sometimes, and it's nice to have company when she needs it. She appreciates Chris for what he is, and just hopes that the weird ghost doesn't think she's even more weird.
Rag's... dead... friend...?
...
Yeah, that sounds about right. Rag's dead friend that Vis encountered a total of... once, and never again. Still though, they uh... seemed pleasant, and very curious about Vis's genetic make-up, despite being an oddity themselves. Their death also seemed... painful... although vaguely hazy, so maybe good for them, the poor sod... 7/10, definitely not another cause of Vis's constantly increasing paranoia related to Solomon and mom and the likes constantly watching Vis's every step.
Right?
