"Yes, Adam, that's the whole point of being dead. What I mean is how to scare people who come into the house. Let 'em know it's haunted, ya know?" She elaborated. Geez this could take a while.

"Okay, on the count of three I want you two to shout the scariest thing you can think of. Ready? One, two, three!"

LYDIA

"Wow, smarter than I thought. Look, it's your lucky day cause I was just passing by when you two kicked it. I can help you guys with the whole...you know, being dead thing." She grinned at them. They looked gullible enough to trick someone into saying her name.

"Alright, here's the deal, I'm a demon. So whatever I do, I can't effect the world of the living but you two can. I can help you guys be ghosts. Whatdaya say?"

Stranger Beetles

"No, he wouldn't do that to me, especially after what we just went through. He'd never want me to come back here." Lydia replied before sighing. "I just hope he knows how to get me back."

"I'm coming with you. We both know how Abaddon can be." Ash argued, folding their arms

Stranger Beetles

Lydia went to dry tears that weren't even there as she sniffed. "After all the bullshit we've went through, I die from a fucking heart attack." She muttered before seeing the newspaper. Wait, Beej read the same paper, specifically the obituaries. She got up, frantically turning the pages until she found it. "I'm not on here." She stated, confused but elated at the same time.

"How can I be here but not dead?"

LYDIA

I couldn't resist it, it was too powerful not to reference

LYDIA

"It's showtime." The demon said to herself before poofing before the two newly deads, dressed in a tour guide outfit complete with a cap reading guide above the bill. "Hi! I'll be you're guide to the otherside. Don't go to the Netherworld. Did I say that? Never mind. I'm L to the Y, D, R, M, H. Fuck it, I can't spell." She said, starting off cheerfully before slowly losing it when she tried spelling her name. Damn curse.

Stranger Beetles

"What? No! No, no. We managed to turn her into Sandworm food. I-I was back home with my family, I couldn't breathe and...now I'm here..." Lydia explained, voice cracking. After everything she went through, she ended up being caged again with no escape. "Why can't I get a fucking break?!" She screamed, letting her frustration out before sinking to the floor.

LYDIA

"Oh. My. God. You guys are so white." A woman they couldn't see or hear groaned from her place on the ceiling. She had been hanging around their house for a few days and it was obvious they were oblivious to the fact a demon was housing with them at the moment. Needless to say she needed some entertainment and they weren't bringing anything to the table.

"Whatever. You two let me know when you're ready to do something actually entertaining for once." She said, producing a newspaper titled Netherworld Times and flipping over to her favorite part; Obituaries. She skimmed the page before blinking in surprise. "Adam and Barbara Maitland...cause of death: old floor boards." She muttered to herself before looking up upon hearing a loud creak. A grin appeared on her lips. This day just got a whole lot better.

Stranger Beetles

"We have to find her soul before it's too late for her to come back. She'll be trapped forever if we don't get her out. I know we just got out of there, darling, but we have to go back for her sake." Ash replied.

___

Lydia blinked upon finding herself back in the cramped waiting room, panic rushing over her. She quickly ran over to the window to talk to the receptionist. What was her name? Talia? Tiana? Tina? "Tina!" She exclaimed, remembering.

LYDIA

Alrighty. Oh, and she's totally going to call them that along with Labradoodles
