[The next doorway that Shiraishi goes through leads him straight into a decrepit, run-down community center. Above him, lounging in an uninterested fashion over the edge of a mezzanine's railing, Nathan sighs.]
Alright, then, let's have it.
[He gestures vaguely around.]
Welcome to my humble abode. Mind your manners; the old bird is a bit on the sensitive side.
Oh come on. I'm as horny as the next guy but I'm not a pervert. You've seen what this place is like--it's hard wired to make us go at each other like rabbits. I had nothing to do with it, mate.
[ well. he slips his hands into the pockets of his labcoat and leans back a little to look up. ]
You mentioned some spiritual friends whispering secrets in your ear. I want to know more. [ he hadn't specified a recipient of his selfie, but this is fairly fortuitous. ]
Some days are worse than others. Don't get me wrong, I love women, but having them hitching a ride in my head 24/7 and popping in whenever they please? Not a fan.

[The sarcasm is strong with that one.]
Love receiving unsolicited nudes and continuing to live like a homeless while a bunch of dead fuckers make a racket in my brain.
[Nathan shakes his head and sighs, but his shoulders drop.]
What do you want to know?
no subject
[ smile. ]
This started after you died. Do any of the voices you're hearing sound like the voice we've heard on the announcements?
no subject
Nope. But I think I'm hearing the, uh, the woman he keeps referencing?
no subject
[ ... ] She hasn't given you a name?
no subject
[He says this loudly to the air, like he knows she's listening.]

Such as....?
no subject
[He sounds as exasperated as Shiraishi likely feels.]
The thing about ghosts is, there aren't any consequences for their fucking actions!
no subject
That's a bit on the nose. I take it they aren't overflowing with creativity or anything?
[ ... sigh. ] Giving you a bit of a headache, is it?
no subject
no subject
[ wow ]
What a pain. At least you've been able to filter some useful information to us because of her.
no subject
[But that's more a hope than anything else, if he's being honest.]
no subject
[ hm ]
Alternatively, rapid fire questioning works quite well.
