Jan. 1st, 2013 03:33 pmSpring break usually saw Sylvia off somewhere with her dad. Some slightly more inhabited place like NYC or somewhere in California. But dad had the new wife and Syl though it best the newlyweds spend time without the grown step-daughter to bother them. And it wasn't that she didn't like dad's new wife. Sylvia adored Marianne. She just wanted them to bond more.
Plus, it meant she had the cabin to herself for a while and she had projects to finish.
So she was praying for a quiet two weeks.
What she got was far from it.
It was one evening while she was curled up on the couch to fall asleep watching some ridiculous b-horror film, half asleep under a thick quilt, when her quiet was interrupted.
It was the crashing of plates in her kitchen that woke her, the shaking of furniture and the violent flickering of lights that alerted her to something else being in her house.
"Son of a..." Those plates weren't cheap. Kicking off her quilt, Sylvia marched barefoot from the living room to the dining room, far from an intimidating figure in her blue short pajama shorts and black long-sleeve pajama shirt, but she was mad.
When she spotted the Ghost in her kitchen, all anger and rage, cut up and scratched from either a fall or an accident, Syl did the first thing that came to mind.
"Are you done throwing a tantrum?" she asked, half shouting to get the screaming figures attention.

"Hey, it's Syl. Leave one and I'll get back to you as soon as possible."

I'm writing this on no caffeine and even less sleep. Somehow. It works if you don't think about it.
But, yes.
This world contains ghosts, death, psychics and beings known simply as 'Aspects' and hopefully, I'll do a fair enough job explaining everything.
Psychics:
They can't predict the future. They can't tell you what you were in a past life. What they can do is communicate with the dead and help them move on. And these aren't those vague conversation you see on TV where the psychic only tells bits and pieces of things and gives vague, subtle hints of who they're speaking to.
They're full conversations. They can actually see the ghost as if it were a living person and in some very rare cases, exhibit slight control over the ghost. This takes effort and can leave a psychic tired and feeling a but ill.
What the psychic is not aware of, is this is training to become an Aspect when they die.
Aspects:
Aspects are guides. They're there to help a person to move on after death. They can't force a person to go, however, and can only offer assistance. They're still alive, technically, since when a psychic dies, it's not actually dying. It's turning into this different being who is immortal, ageless and more often than not, invisible. They are rarely seen by anyone alive, save for the occasional psychic who is paying enough attention.
