"Come on this is pretty scary." The booming voice was gone, the wailing of the damned also gone. Now it was just a dude holding his own head in his hands complaining. Honestly I prefered the more grandiose elements.
"You're just a regular headless ghost, the only thing scary about that is that you think it could be scary." I was examining where the jewel had gone. There didn't appear to be any magic connected to it, no locked in soul or anything. It was just a really pretty coffin with an adornment. I was suspecting the ghosts as it were were not actually connected to the theft at all, some kind of murderous boredom.
"Are you so jaded all of this does not effect you at all?" The ghost was actually kind of sad in a way, clearly he wanted something from me, and since I was not giving it to him he was completely lost. I also noticed most of his "scary" effects were weaking I think my ignoring him was actually hurting him. Which was hilarious.
"I'm busy ok, I can't just drop everything to be all terrified of you, you aren't very scary to be honest, not even part spider or god, or spider god."
"You're a dick you know that, you're just a complete dick, I've gone through all of this effort for you, and you don't appreciate any of it!" I had now heard everything, a ghost complaining I was not giving him the proper respect.
"I'm sorry did you say something?" He faded again, I could see him sulk off. So not only did I not show him respect I hurt his feelings. I had accomplished everything in my life I had ever intended on doing. Not really, but it did feel pretty damned awesome to ignore a ghost to death.
