Why would you need a license to date?

It can be dangerous, correct? It was mostly a joke....

Ah... modern lingo. I didn't follow. There are more dangerous things... like bad streetfood.

Yeah, I’d say to avoid that, it could make toy really sick or kill you. ... but dating the wrong person can be really dangerous too.

I know... too well. I haven't dated that many... but then I'm only 17.

Did you eat something bad, like a tainted hot dog or something? Just be careful with dating and don’t rush it. You’ve got plenty of time.

There was something wrong with it... something really wrong. Like, call an ambulance bad.

I suppose I'd have a lot of time to date...[forever] ...but I'd find someone recently.

Oh no! Are you okay?

You’re 17, you have a lifetime. Me? I’m not too much older and I keep falling in love thinking it will last forever and... it doesn’t.

I'm a ghost so no.

I had a lifetime. Now I got an eternity.

You’re... a ghost? The hot dog killed you? [cassie looks at hers and drops it in the trash]

I suppose that you do, have you dated much as a ghost? Oh! Just so you know, I’m way too old and you’re way too male.

That it did... missed the biggest show of my life too.

I'm dead. I'm also gay. we're on opposite wave lengths, literally. The person I spoke of is a guy called Willie. We have been seeing each other for a bit now. Almost as long as I've been a ghost... which is like... a few weeks.

Oh no! That sucks. And that you missed your show. What are you going to do?

Well, at least you met Willie. And he’s cool with the ghost thing, or is he a ghost too? If so that’s really sweet. You guys can date forever if you want.

I need to find the reason why I can't move on.

He's a ghost too. I'd like to date him forever... but he's working for a bad guy...

Was it missing your show, was your family homophobic?

Is he doing it because he wants to? But you don’t seem the type to date a bad guy?

My family didn' like that I was gay, no. I ran away and joined my friends' band; Sunset Curve. We were going to play the Orpheum that night. Then we... died.

I don't know... Willie isn't bad... but his boss is.

Sunset Curve? That was... the 90’s? The Orpheum is A huge gig! You all were stars! Do you still get to make music?

Can he quit?

Yep. I died in 1995. We weren't stars yet... but we were on the way to become stars. We would have made it big. I'm sure of it.

I don't know... it can be a blood contract as far as I know... All this paranormal stuff is new to me. All I know is that his boss is a powerful magician and ghost.

I think so, playing at that venue is a huge deal.

Well. You’re dead so it’s probably soul binding of some sort. If the bad guy is dead too then he might have a deal with someone else. Or he’s just evil.

...yeah... and we missed it.

I'm convinced that he's evil.
