The phantom.

Vin: (image)

Adam: Vin.

Vin: ....what...?

Adam: I Can't hold back my guilt...

Vin: ...T-then why'd you possess her...?
...cause you're stuck like this for now...

Adam: ...I heard voices...

Vin: ...you...did?
...that's...really scary...
um...
I haven't heard of that happening before.
...I feel a bit guilty too for some reason...

Adam: ........

Vin: ...I wonder what the rest of the gang will think of all this...

Adam: Just don't tell them.

Vin: ...But...what will you do...?
...
A-are you not coming back with me...?

Adam: ?!

*Vin wandered off, but the pair still seem interesting to Adam*
*The woman says something to the man, who then looks in Adam's direction. He shakes his head and goes back into the house. She seems a bit troubled...*

Adam: ...I think I found my target. *flys at the woman*

*It seems she can see him*
???: ...S-stand back! Please...ghoul...
*She holds the baby tightly and cowers in fear*

Adam: How do you see me?

???: I...don't know...
W-who are you...?

Adam: I’m Adam. I was murdered by... uh... I dunno...

???: Oh...I'm M-martha...
You said you were m-murdered?!? Ummm...I promise it wasn't me or my husband...
P-please...what are you here for...

Adam: Ma’am, I’m not gonna hurt you. I just need a new body.

Martha: ...o-oh really? How would that work...

Adam: Not until I fix my mistakes.

Vin: .......but....*he pats his head*
Just don't do anything too stupid...
...cause I have no idea how to fix any of this.

Adam: Okay.

Vin: ...So, I won't mention anything to Dust if you don't want me to.

Adam: Please don't.

Vin: I promise I won't, Adam.

Adam: Thank you, Vin.

Vin: Y-yeah, no problem, man.

Adam: I dunno, what do you think?

Vin: Well, we know some people...
...the General's an option. Maybe even Cirrus.
Don't know if you'd want to be in their bodies though...
...we also could just possess some random dude in the kingdom's village. idk...

Adam: Let’s take a look through the village first.

Vin: Ok. *he leads him into a small cozy village with a fountain in the central plaza and a peaceful river nearby*
...this is Tranquilville...*he smiles*
It's a lovely little place.

Adam: Hmm...

*multiple townspeople roam the place, minding their own business*
*People welcome and smile at Vin when passing by him, and nobody seems to notice Adam*
Vin: Well...Adam...
...we'll be sure to find someone here, don't worry.

Adam: I’ll stay alert.

*he notices a house squeezed between two other buildings, slightly hidden by them. There seems to be a shop of some sort set up on one of the windows, and a young man & woman are working there.*

Adam: Hmm...

*the woman is holding a baby while sitting on a bench outside and the man goes inside the house*
*she seems to glance at Adam for a quick second...*

Adam: I dunno. I just need to POSSES somebody.

Vin: Oh, uh...heh...*he looks at his own body and back at Adam's ghost*
uhhhhhhhhh....maybe we could....go find someone to possess! *nervous chuckle*

Adam: Good idea.

Vin: ...hey Adam...
...do you have any memory of your death...or maybe who killed you...?
Me and the others were trying to find out who...

Adam: ...no...

Vin: ...aw damn...
It's ok, we'll find who it could be soon enough...hopefully.
...thank God you don't seem to be psychotic like Cirrus was when she died...
From what I've seen...

Adam: Yeah... well... we should continue.

Vin: Heh, yeah. So...
...I've never died before, luckily. But Cirrus told me a few things about being a ghost...
She said you have to either remove someone's soul from their body, ideally without harming them, and possess the body next. Or you could have your soul given back to you, as what happened to her with Bloody.

Adam: I think I should just posses somebody... it’s the last thing I had on my mind...

Vin: ...but who...?

Adam: I don’t know...

???: Well...my name's Christopher...
...do...do you know what happened to my sweet Martha...?
I see her physically...but...she's not here...I can tell...*wipes tears from his own face*

Adam: I know nothing...

Chris: ...oh...that's...ok.
Don't...*sigh*...worry much about it...I'll...try to handle this...
...
*he looks down anxiously*

Adam: ...My name is Adam Dreemuur.

Chris: That...that last name...it's familiar...
Adam...hm.

*Vin walks up to them*
Vin: Oh, Martha and Chris...can y'all keep your drama indoors...
Tranquilville is supposed to be peaceful, come on. *he smiles at them*

Adam: V I N .

Vin: Hey, Martha... *he smirks at Adam*
Now I shouldn't say anything too flirtatious now with Chris around...heh~

Chris: *frustratingly glares at Vin*

Vin: *laughs*

Adam: It’s me Adam look. *slaps Vin* See I’m Adam.

Vin: Oh...*appears a bit embarrassed*
My bad...
...
I see you've been successful, now we can go and meet with the rest of our friends!
*he raises his hand to give Adam a high five*

Chris: ...

Adam: I feel guilty.

Vin: ...Really...?
...Crap, I didn't think this through did I...

Chris: ...*sad boi*

Adam: ...

Vin: ...well...at least your alive now...?
...
Chris: Hey, y'all, it's...just keep moving forward, I'm sure you have some other important issues than me.
I'll try and get over it...I guess...

Adam: I can’t get over this...

Chris: A-adam...you did what you had to do...I...assume.
...just...*sigh*...make sure you don't hurt my wife's body while you use it...please...

Adam: ..........

Chris: *he looks over at his house*
I...I've got to tend to my child now...
...the f-family business as well...
Good luck, Adam...

Adam: What have I done...

*Chris strolls back to his house*

Vin: ...um...........Sh*t.
...well...*he hugs Adam*
...
This didn't go as planned...but...
*he seems ashamed*
...uh...

Adam: I need to take control of somebody.

Martha: Oh...no...*she looks at him, terrified*

Adam: I don’t worry, you have somebody to take care of. I’ll go now if you want me to... *starts floating away*

*Adam starts hearing whispering voices, seeming to come from the spirit world...*
*They repeat, "possess her...possess her...possess her...you came to be free...not to care for her...possess her...be free of this..."*

Adam: ...?!

*the whispers grow louder and louder*
*he starts to get the urge to possess her again...*

Adam: No... NO...!

The voices: (image)
*the urge gets stronger*

Adam: I’M SO SORRY!!! *possesses martha*

Martha: ADAM, NOOO- *her soul is released from her and Adam has her body now*
...*the voices give a hideous laugh and fade out*
*everything seems peaceful and quiet again...and the baby is left unharmed, resting on the bench*

Adam: Why hello Vin.

Vin: *he accidentally drops the cake in fear*
A....A-Adam?!?
......I was just discussing you with Red and Dust earlier...

Adam: Is that so? *gets closer to Vin*

Vin: Y-yes, A-adam...
*nervous sweating out of fright*

Adam: *tilts his head*

Vin: *smiles awkwardly*
What...do you want...Adam...?

Adam: A new body.

Vin: Heh...well...I d-don't really know how I can assist you with that...
Um......Is there a way I could help you with that...or not...?

Adam: Possibly?

Vin: In what way...? *he seems to calm down a bit*

Adam: F*CK!!! F*CK F*CK F*CK F*CK F*CK F*CK OH *bonks his head on a lamp* FUUUUUU-

*the man peaks out the doorway*
???: Uhhh...you okay, Martha? I heard you in distress...

Adam: A- *runs off*

???: Martha! Where are you going? *he chases after Adam*
Please, we have to do our best to raise our child...

Adam: Get me out of this body... GET ME OUT!!! LET ME OUT!!!

???: ...what? Martha, honey, please...are you ok...
First, you say you saw some ghost...then you started talking and screaming to yourself...and now...
*he begins to tear up*
You run away and want to leave your body...?
...I don't want to lose you...please...

Adam: Please! I’m not who you think I am! Let me out... please...

???: ...wh-what...h-how...?
...I don't know how to let you...out...w-whoever you are...

Adam: *in tears*

???: *he runs up to him and puts his arm on his shoulder*
Martha...or whoever you claim to be...I...*he starts crying*
...
W-what is happening?!?!
