Depending on when you catch him, Crow can either be seen at the Entralink, wandering around, or... ...Nuvema Town, doing the same thing. Either way, he seems to be looking for someone.

"Oiiiii!" There's a bird nestled rather comfortably in his hair, haha. But that's not the only weird bit about this guy. Even people who recognize Crow will be confused- some sort of cloak/thing tied about his waist, vest abandoned for a sleeveless (Crow where'd those tattoos on your arms come from!?)... Bandaged feet and shins, rather baggy, open pants...

He cups his hands to shout. "OIII!! Anyone here?" he calls, scratching behind one of the large (if not mildly imposing) earrings he has. "Sheesh... What is this place anyways..."

Who knows. By the time he's at Nuvema however...

"Hmmm..." He'll be busy staring at a badge case.

[[note - There's a ghost with Crow! If your character is particularly sensitive to things beyond the veil, I can send an image; as it is, responses come either from a feed at the Entralink, or Nuvema..!]]

It isn't?

[He looks genuinely bemused.]

"He doesn't deserve a 'sama'."

"I AM A GOD, OF COURSE I DESERVE A SAMA!"

...Um...

[Now he just looks really confused, scratching his neck and looking between them. Jou bares his teeth at Aiapaec.]

If he is a god, wouldn't he...?

"His other name was 'The Decapitator'." Does that answer your question.

....

[Oh dear.]

Ah-hah... I see... I guess if he isn't a nice god, he wouldn't really deserve it... or does that mean he'd deserve it more so he doesn't kill you...?

[...You've got him thinking about something now. He seems to have completely forgotten you guys are actually there.]

"HAH! He can't kill me..!"

"I can refuse aid."

"That doesn't matter here."

Ah? He can't? But isn't he a god? Even if he's in a ghosty form, shouldn't he be able to interact with things?

[He seems surprised now that you snapped him out of it.]

"Nope. That's normally only something demons, and self-bound spirits can do. Otherwise, shamans are the only way for a ghost to interact with the living."

Oh, so I guess it is just -san then!

[Pause.]

...What's a shaman?

Pointing to himself. "Someone who can see ghosts, and channel them. HEheee~"

Oh, I see! That makes sense.

[Somehow, in his little brain.]

Ah, well, that must be pretty cool! To be able to work with spirits and everything.

"I guess..? It's more dangerous than anything."

Really? Why is that? Are a lot of spirits evil?

[Yeah he's totally latched onto your every word, here, Crow. TELL HIM MORE THIS IS INTERESTING.]

"Er- I wouldn't say EVIL just... Normally, when a ghost stays on the living plane... They've got a reason. And sometimes... Getting that reason fulfilled isn't easy."

Oh, I see. I guess it wouldn't be easy if you really didn't want to move on, huh?

Since not many people really stay behind just because they forgot to feed their cat. ...do they?

". . ."

"You'd be surprised actually..." Stop grinning Aiapaec.

...Do they really?

"Mn... They don't tend to be bad spirits, but yea, some stick around for pretty ridiculous things..."

Like what?

"One stayed behind because they had been looking for an earring when they died..."

...It wasn't even an important one...

Maybe their spouse gave it to them? That might make it important.

"Nope. It was a basic earring. There wasn't an ounce of sentiment."

So why did she want to find it so badly?

[Don't leave him hanging, man!]

"She just... Wanted the earring..!"

"It seems like a rather pathetic cling, but it's not as uncommon as you would think."

"It's like when you're looking for your car keys."
