Nobuko and Kazumi Shimazaki added a touch of their native Japan to their New Jersey home a few years ago. The teahouse, created for small dinner parties, was constructed by a Japanese builder who used American pine, redwood, cedar, oak and cherry. Mylar replaces the traditional paper in the shoji.

Ahasbands. You agree.

(For the theme!)

Watchers and Listeners can see and hear ghosts respectively.

Grian, Pearl, BigB, Martyn and Jimmy all were something between paranoid and miserable during the Life Games.

Grian couldn’t handle the sight of Scar’s spirit with a hurt look, and ended it right then and there, Mumbo being a spirit in DL didn’t help. Pearl struggled during Double Life, and Lizzie would egg her on, who was none too pleased with the way Pearl was being treated. BigB was glad that he died before in LL Cleo, he didn’t want to figure out what would happen then. Martyn was usually pestered by Jimmy after he got out, because he knew Martyn was the only one able to actually Hear Jimmy. During LimLife, Martyn also had the added pain of hearing Ren along with his former husband, Mumbo. Jimmy is just glad that there’s one upside to being out first consistently.

Scott knew about the ability. Jimmy had disclosed it to him back in Third Life, when their lives were so closely intertwined. He often felt bitter that Jimmy died first. At least if it were the other way around, he'd be able to talk to Jimmy still.

He's always had his suspicions about others, but it's probably rude to outright ask. Scott gets the feeling Jimmy wasn't supposed to tell him to begin with, but it was hard to miss something bothering his husband. And Jimmy has always been an awful liar.

He should've guessed Martyn had similar abilities. Scott had noticed before the man sometimes seemed unfocused, but it's even worse living with him in Limited Life. The moment those first deaths happen Scott is constantly fighting for his attention.

Scott wouldn't mind it, but Martyn needs a nap. He can't have one if ghosts are pestering him all the time.

So, he picks up a broom (such a silly thing for a death game, but Scott would rather die than have an ugly base.) Waving it around, he tells whatever ghosts that may be hanging out this is a ghost free zone until Martyn's slept. Otherwise Scott will hold a reaaaaaaaaaalllllllllyyyyyyy long grudge. And try to hit them with this broom.

He thinks it works, because Martyn sleeps perfectly that night. He's tucked against Scott's side, cradled by his arm. Scott smiles at the sight.

(The betrayal still hurts, but he knows Martyn well enough not to be surprised. Yet... he doesn't think it was the ghosts speaking to him, then. He doesn't know what it was.)

redwood/ahasbands is criminally underrated
