Spiritual Haunting (josie)

[Maxine Hunter]

It seems like so long ago that Maxine was murdered, and nobody ever figured out who did it having it written off as a suicide. Now the apparition has been able to walk the Earth, on the other side she had seen old friends and some enemies.


Why was she here in this apartment building? The place looks like nobody really lives here, but yet Maxine is searching for someone who can see her. After the year that the girl spend with Archer perhaps she is chosen, but there is only one way to be sure.

Maxine sits there bored in the dark until the girl shows up.



TBC- Josie

[Josie Pleasure]

Entering the room and smiling at the darkness like a fool, she pauses and looks from left and then right. Blake whispers something in her head and she nods in the positive in answer to whatever he must have told her. Walking further into the room as she feels the eyes watching her from the darkness, she sits down in a relax position. Her fishnet legs crossed and her arms resting on the side of the chair as she stares back at whomever is watching her.

A loud sigh escapes as she rolls her head from side to side to crack her neck and closing her eyes for a second to enjoy the satisfaction that action provided. Her attention back to the darkness and her foolish grin.

"Maxine..."

She said her name like a child calling to a playmate

[Maxine Hunter]

Whatever it is about Josie she has never been able to stomach her, perhaps Blake had been right to pick her as a successor. Maxine grins thinking of her own chosen before caring to answer Josie.

"Yes dear?"

As if in a barely sarcastic tone she replied to Josie like a loved one or a child even though she was really not that much older then her when she had passed on. She tilts her head to the side still watching Josie in this transparent state wondering how long she has till her seer abilities fully kick in? Could the girl even really hear her? It is at least evident that she feels Max's presence.

[Josie Pleasure]

She seemed surprised to hear Maxine answer back. Maybe she convinced herself that this was all her imagination or a dream of some sort, but now it's a reality. She can't say that she hates Maxine, because she doesn't really know her. Oh she's heard stories of course and idle gossip, but dealing with her is not something she's had to face until now that is.

Josie notices that the "dear" was slightly forced. Though she's used to be despised by many which has never been an issue for her. So she asks.

"Why have you sought me out?"

[Maxine Hunter]

Why indeed? It was not like she had a choice, Maxine keeps on examining the girl before noticing the ring on her finger and shaking her head with a slick grin. "I did not seek you out, I just am here as are you. .... What do you seek child? Did nothing bring you here?" The voice still seems like an echo from far away even if she is watching her from only inches away. Her curiosity is peaked slightly more at seeing AJ's ring on Josie's finger. She could fill her in on things, but Maxine remembers jumping into the fire is what put her on this other side to begin with and now she is starting over and must be careful. This usually has been a lonely state and now there is a young heart able to hear her. If she has a personal effect from AJ that could be a reason they are tied together right now, but even Max does not understand why. She has questions of her own since her death she has been lost and wondering only able to see things through the eyes of one.

[Josie Pleasure]

Maxine's question rolls around in her head "didn't something bring you here?" the longer Josie thought about it the more it made her wonder if something did, but what? The darkness always provided comfort for her and even now she felt safe even with a ghost talking to her. A tingling sensation in her hand made her look down at the ring that AJ gave her was this Maxine touching the ring or was Blake? Hell maybe it was AJ, himself trying to connect with her.

"Yes, I guess something did. I seek knowledge about AJ and why was he taken?"

Josie stares in Maxine's direction

[Maxine Hunter]

How could she know that answer it asked a certain way it could mean anything. Maxine took a moment to think about what type of answer Josie actually after. "Taken from where? When a person does not belong anywhere or to anyone then how can he be taken?" It was a relevant point if taken the time to think on it. Revelation was more then likely looking for revenge as for the big picture of things they are still moving so Riot would have to belong before being taken.

"Alex's head is filled with grief it makes me sad. Do you mean why have his thoughts been captured? That is yet anther difficult answer he would have to answer not me." She watches Josie knowing she has AJ keeping him safe trying to get him to eat and sleep properly. She seemed to want to nurse him back to health and yet has some type of fear of losing him once he is pysically able to disappear again so it seems.

[Josie Pleasure]

Maxine's word hang in the air, though it didn't answer Josie's question of why AJ was taken, it did serve as food for thought. Does AJ, truly belong to anyone? Part of her wanted to believe that somewhere, somehow a piece of him belonged to her. She used to be the only one that could keep him calm and maybe even inject some logic into his reasoning. Yet now, she just keeps questioning how it could have gotten passed her, right under her nose. Maybe AJ's way is much safer by not giving a shit about anyone, but she knew that at least one person would always prove the scenario false.

"You still haven't answered my question Max, why do you appear to me? I certainly am not the key to saving AJ from his demons cuz as far as everyone else is concerned I served him on a silver platter to Revelation, so if nothing else I'm a weakness and a distraction."

[Maxine Hunter]

Maxine laughs and dissapears into smoke leaving Josie to think through her own thoughts and separate delusion from reality. Not being able to resist getting some last words in Josie hears Maxine's sharp voice in her head. "If you truly knew of ho you speak you'd see the answer in what you speak." The voice fades and the chill in the air leaves along with it.
