Do you think a realtor is legally obligated to disclose that a house is haunted?
Please discuss.

Well then, allow me to ask for clarification. What is a realtor to begin with? Are they someone experienced with ghosts?

Oh, no, they're someone who sells you a house.

Oh, if that is the case, then yes. One coin moves from hand to hand, I think there are rules involved.

Are you looking to purchase a home?

I am. My apartment is quite small. I want to stretch my legs.

And not any ghosts' legs as well.

I now understand the concern behind the question. How does the search go so far?

Well if it's big enough, the ghost might be kind of nice! Especially if that means I get it at a discount.

A couple of promising options, but I'm trying to play hard to get. It works just as well for buying houses as it does finding a partner for the evening.

[One of these days, she will expect such words from Astarion. Today is not that day.

So that's why it takes a few moments after a long put upon sigh before she sends her reply.]

Yes, I understand there's a strong need for discretion when making large purchases or... that.

Of course! You could end up going home with an axe murderer, or worse, someone ugly.

As I don't find myself in such predicaments, I'll take your word on that.

Though it seems you are far more concerned about that than potential ghosts in your dwelling.

Like I said, I really only care about the ghosts for the discount. Oh, and, because they do make for rather good deterrents! No one is going to bother a potentially haunted house.

Apologies. I had gotten distracted and missed that part.

[It's true. Distracted by Astarion's brilliant personality shining through the test messages.]

So you'll accept the haunted house if you could get it for a cheaper price. No worries the ghosts might see you as the intruder and become set on causing misery?

Ha! I'd like to see them try. What's the worst they can do? Break a couple mirrors?

[ this is funny because he has no reflection ]

[Ah, if only she knew where the humor was in that.]

I can't really say. but I did hear there were some the other moon that caused some trouble for people. I would think any that lived in an empty house and suddenly had to share with someone might find it in them to behave in a similar manner.

Those were skeletons and zombies. They're fundamentally different.

Perhaps so, but they're all no longer living. Aren't they all counted in the same pile?

No. Ghosts don't even have corporeal forms.

I would have never known that even the dead find themselves in separation.

I guess if they were human, the habit remains.

Well it's hard not for them to be separate when one can just rattle around your furniture and another can grip you by the throat and try to eat your brains.

Are there any kinds that can do both?

You mean any that can be corporeal and incorporeal? Vampires can take a mist form.

I've never heard of vampires before. Is that all they do?

No, they seduce the unsuspecting and the beautiful and drain them of their blood so they can live forever. Best watch your neck.

[ did he just call jill beautiful? maybe. did he call her unsuspecting? definitely. ]

[He's right about the unsuspecting part (also the beautiful part, so she's been told, if he ever meant it.) It's not like she can tell what one looks like from a distance.]

Pardon me, they do what?

They drink their victim's blood. Sometimes all of it.

Why?

[Sorry, Astarion. You'll just get this one word reply from Jill while she's busy gagging at the thought of blood drinking.]
