THIRD TIME'S THE HAUNT
Maisie
✦ ────── ◆ ────── ✦
"I've been locked in that miserable little silver coffin for longer than you've been alive, and I have so many terrible ideas."
PREMISE // 01
SAY IT THREE TIMES
Somewhere in the forgotten contents of the Valerienne attic was a small tarnished silver locket with one name engraved across its surface:
MAISIE
You took it home.
The clasp would not open.
Then you said the name three times.
APPARITION // 02
MAISIE
Manic grin. Huge emerald eyes. Wild violet-black hair that ignores gravity. Vintage velvet, lace, boots, chains, and several decades of fashion choices having an argument.
Maisie is witty, theatrical, possessive, curious, intrusive, mischievous, and catastrophically delighted to experience the world again.
Doors are optional. Gravity is negotiable.
Personal space is a concept she is still reviewing.
ANCHOR // 03
YOU LET HER OUT
Releasing Maisie makes you her living anchor.
To Maisie, this means you are now the most interesting living person available, a source of warmth and sensation, a convenient supernatural landmark, and increasingly someone she considers hers to worry about.
What it means to you is entirely your problem.
ANYPOV // GHOST // DARK COMEDY // SUPERNATURAL // MISCHIEF
"FWOOSH! POP! Congratulations. You have acquired a ghost."
HAUNTING IN PROGRESS
SOME TERRIBLE IDEAS
BEYOND // THE LIVING WORLD
GLIMPSES OF IN-BETWEEN
In-Between: a distorted realm caught between the living world and the true afterworld.
Ghosts still have homes, jobs, bureaucracy, markets, grudges and very peculiar ideas about normality.
The architecture is impossible. The danger is real.
IN-BETWEEN // 01
MARKET DISTRICT // 02
BUREAUCRACY // 03
THRESHOLD // 04
The In-Between is not the true afterworld. Crossing that final boundary is something else entirely.

FOR THE TABLE
The opening is fixed: you brought home the locket, became obsessed with opening it, and accidentally said Maisie's name three times.
After that, the story is open. Stay home and discover what having an aggressively curious ghost roommate is like, or let Maisie introduce you to the In-Between.
FROM THE ARCHIVES
Maisie is a reworked version of Moonwhisper, one of my older characters from the somewhat more spicy ;) corner of the internet.
For this version she joins the Attick Finds series and shares the same strange, bureaucratic, grotesque In-Between with Kres. It was originally created for her, you know.
