Nicholas Reid

An extremely reluctant ghost who won't tell anyone exactly why he won't cross over (although many have tried to help him). [quote]I forgot to leave out some cat food before someone butchered me with a knife. I have to go back and feed my cat. [/quote]

a character in “The Multiverse”, as played by Cloasse

Description

Full Name: Nicholas Reid
Age: 29 (at death)
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 193 lbs



Nicholas, as a ghost, doesn't exactly... stand any more. He tends to float about aimlessly, waving his arms about in irritation when he can't open doors or, in some cases, punch people.

Many have tried to help this wandering man through to the next stage of death, but Nick refuses to go. He never gives a real reason, instead inventing the silliest things in order to try and convince these clairvoyants to put him back into life.

A few of his most favourite reasons include:

  • "I have to go back and feed my cat."
  • "I'm a secret agent and there are thousands of lives at risk if I don't come back from the dead."
  • "I was gonna get laid on the night that madman came in and casually stabbed me to death. I'd like to go apologise for dying, 'cause that girl was fine."

So begins...

Nicholas Reid grinned cheekily. "Hey, I dunno about other humans, but my sex is an art. That was just a couple of fat people flailing around on a bed next to each other, aye?"

Nicholas Reid appeared to have nodded off, floating quite happily in midair with a wild, indulgent smile on his face.

Nicholas Reid was promptly startled into awareness, dropping to the floor.

Through the floor, actually.

Nicholas Reid slowly but surely floated up from the basement, looking as embarrassed as a ghost possibly could.

"Ahem."

Nicholas Reid was dozing once again, half in the basement and half in the bar. The good half was in the bar...

At least, it depended on which part you liked best... The face or below the waist.

Nicholas Reid floated through the door with an almost aimless nonchalance. He did, of course, have a reason to be here, but Nick didn't think he'd ever find what he was looking for.

Not that being a lost ghost damned into this incorporeal world didn't have its perks! For example, Nick had been in thirty-seven different hotels in the last twelve days, and each one had had a lot of weird characters, some of whom could actually see him. In fact, the two at the last hotel who could hear him had directed him hear with hopeful stories of resurrection and regaining life...

And so here he was.

Nicholas Reid continued to float, occasionally throwing in a girlish little skip because no one could see him, and even if they could he'd just pretend that he couldn't see them. He was happier now; he'd finally escaped that queer old lady who'd enticed him upstairs with the promises of a new chance at life only to find himself trapped in a room sealed with runes.

"That reminds me. I need brain soap. Naked eighty year old broads are not sexy..."

Whilst doing a piss-taking pirouettes, Nick did in fact notice the Boatman sneaking around behind him. He responded with a yelp, unsolid limbs flailing as he fell back and promptly went straight through the flooring and down into the basement.

After another bought of yelling (and a squeal when a rat chose to make itself known), Nicholas reappeared through the flooring, scowling. "Yo, man, what was that for?"

Finally, the ghost completely reappeared, ruffling his eternally mussed hair. "Hey, look, there was no need - holy mother of - mother of Jesus!"

Nick backed up, eyes wide and stuck on the Boatman with what was clearly an intense amount of fear.

What Nick say was some mangled form, a man who had been mutilated in some way, although his face was always very clear, unmarred.

"Hell no."

"No, Michael. What the hell are you going on about gondolas for. Go back to being dead, you creepy sod."

Well, that explained whose face the ghost was seeing. A past boyfriend, best friend.

"Go away. I'm not ready to go across, okay, I need to stay back!" And that was that. Nicholas crossed his arms, closed his eyes and turned his nose up in the air. Clear dismissal and denial all rolled into one haughty expression.

"Shove off, Michael. You know I have to go back to look after my sister... D'you know how I can get back? You've been dead for a few years, surely you've heard things through the dead grapevine, haven't you? I need to go back..."

"Anything, Michael, I just need to make sure she's okay... I can haunt her or something, right, but I already checked; she can't see me and I can't touch anything or anybody if she does get into trouble... What do I do?"

"Really?" The ghost sighed an unnecessary breath of air with clear relief. "Thank you, Michael... So. How's death going for you? How come you ain't crossed the river, moved into the light, y'know..? That kind of stuff?"

Nicholas Reid didn't understand that. He hoped he wasn't expected to. "I guess you don't get dumb when you die, huh, Michael?" The soft smile he wore was somewhat cheeky. "Not that you could get much worse... Just kidding, Mickey," he added with a wink. "Y'know I love yah. I'll visit your grave when I get back again, I promise."

Floating into the bar wasn't as fun as it had been the first time. Upon his initial arrival, this place had been exciting, new and fun. Now, however, Nick had realised that someone could actually help him here.

"I wonder if ghosts can eat cheeseburgers... Man, I could murder a cheeseburger. Nicely, of course, I wouldn't stab them in the chest a dozen times, but..."

Nicholas Reid would've jumped out of his skin... y'know, if he had any. "Holy Mother of Jesus' Deranged Cousin!" he squawked, scowling at the Boatman with a pale hand over his chest.

"Am I still tied to what now? ... I thought that we had been through all of this!"

Nicholas Reid nodded his head. "Yeah, yeah, and able to actually do something... She's only little and I promised I'd look after her," Nick said, joking tone dropped in order to employ a far more serious voice. "I swore."
