[There's a pause.]

... Kind of haunted.

How?

[drharvey]

There's a sort of little.... well, I think it's a ghost, living in it. Some kind of little purple guy? He's really gooey.

[thetombkeeper]

[You said the magic word, James.]

... Is it... a slime?

[drharvey]

( James casts a cautious, sideways look at the possessed teapot in question, where it sits on the kitchen countertop for now, the entity inside seemingly sleeping. ...Or lurking. )

It does look like something that could be called a slime, yeah. Is that some kind of species, where you're from?

[thetombkeeper]

No. But it's an archetype I use in the trading card game I play. Jam Tokens, God Slime, Metal Slime, Slime Breeding Machine...

[Yeah that last one is. Uh. The name is weirder than the actual concept.]

If you're alright with it, I'd like to try and interact with it. I never thought slime would actually exist.

[drharvey]

( James understands hardly any of this! But that's how his life goes. )

Sure! It can be kind of... er... mischievous, but I don't think it'd actually hurt anyone.

( He does not 100% know this )

I'll introduce you when you come over here. I've been calling the little guy Casper, after someone I know back home.

[Alas, if he had his deck with him, he could should James.

Marik sounds a lot more chipper than he did at the beginning of the "call."]

I look forward to meeting him and getting to see your new place then.
