[ Here's a picture of a Cursola in a tent. It's not looking very happy, but when does Cursola ever look happy? ]

Advice from ghost type trainers needed!

I've had Conny here since she was an egg, and she's always been a difficult child. Touching her branches in her previous evolution apparently removes life energy from you (yes, really), but everyone on the team gave their best to avoid it as much as possible and raise her strong and healthy.

Now she evolved into Cursola and touching her ectoplasm body at all is paralyzing. As you can see, she's mostly ectoplasm.

I know she isn't happy, but I can't figure out what to do about it when I can't approach her like I would approach the other members of my team.

If you have a ghost type with a curse or similar issues, how do you deal with it? How do you provide a happy life for them?

Thanks in advance,

James Griffin

[ Conny goes very still for a moment, clearly afraid, but then when everyone starts laughing, her ectoplasmic body starts wobbling as well. If it had been anyone on her team, this could have gone badly! But this is fine and she doesn't have a lot of experience in things being fine, it's a new levity and she's enjoying it.

James lets himself fall backwards as soon as the situation seems diffused. ]

... god. Looks like mingling with ghosts was the right idea, but this is giving me grey hairs.

[With clear pride, Regris plucks the baby off of Conny's head and gives it an affectionate nuzzle before putting it back on his own head. When the first batch of marshmallows are finished roasting, Cobleslack comes on over to offer the baby and Conny one each. Keith lets out a deep sigh, but gives a reluctant smile of his own when everyone sits in a circle around Conny.]

....yeah.

[When he turns back to James, however, he remembers what he'd been about to say which wipes the smile right off his face again.]

So do you actually like Romelle or are you just trying to get in her pants?

[ James looks positively scandalized by this accusation, which is probably a good sign. ]

Just what kind of guy do you think I am?!

[ It's probably for the best that Keith does not answer this, but James still wonders just when he'd given the impression he was scummy in his dating life! ]

Romelle is a really sweet girl, I enjoy her company a lot. We had a really nice date and want to try out another. Is that a crime?

[marmoron]

A recluse who just started being social again?

[It's stated somewhat flatly, like this is all somewhat obvious.]

Look. I'm not asking just because it's you. I'd ask anyone Romelle was interested in because I don't want anyone taking advantage of her.

[ Will anyone ever let him live the recluse phase down.....? Probably not, but James sure wishes we could all just forget about it.

Keith's elaboration is a little calming at least. He's going to pretend he didn't hear that 'just'. ]

If we end up going out for real, then it will be because I like her and for no other reason. I promise that. I don't play around with the hearts of people I am seeing.
