Bio: Used to work in an old book shop, decided to switch over when he heard about being a Whisper. He’d grown up in a small house in the suburbs , mom and dad divorced when he was young, went to live with his mom until he came of age for his power, then dad took custody of his son. He’d figured out what he was when he spoke to his grandfather long after his death, mother had his tested for a slew of mental disorders, each came out negative.
Power: Tounge Speaker
Skills: He used to run track in school, and as such he is very fast. He learned French from a ghost who haunted his grandmother’s home, she’d drowned herself in the 20′s so his French is a little old fashioned.

Name: Mason Steward
Age: 21
Bio: Worked at the antique shop since he was young. He’s always known about the supernatural, but it didn’t pop up until best friend was killed in a car crash. He was able to contact him and they can actually physically interact with other ghosts. His close family left soon after, as they didn’t have his abilities. So he’s been there ever since.
Power: Vessel – advanced
Skills: He’s a fantastic free runner, but doesn’t get to do it much anymore. He’s learned how to tap into the ghosts abilities that he contacts.
Appearance: Short brown hair, green eyes, good looking, toned. Doesn’t ever dress for work, so you will always see him in a cookie monster hoodie that is duck taped on the ends with a blank T-shirt. He wears regular pants, and gym shoes. And you will never see him without his headphones.
Gender: M

Lance had shifted his gaze over the antique shop he’d been working here for little over a year now. The button-down shirt he was wearing, had been rolled up to his elbows and the well worn cover of Atlas Shrugged appeared ever so often over the counter. Work was slow, as was to be expected in the antique business. He was sure Mason was somewhere, running about doing something. The old gramophone in the corner played a solemn French tune, most likely left on by Mrs. Solcombe who had gone to town a few hours prior to the shop opening.

Mason hoped down from the roof, bouncing from in between the alley walls. He came in threw the back door, headphones blasting some metal song. He pushed the door open, “Hey! Mrs. Solcombe still here?”

Liz looked down at the peace of paper in hand makeing sure she had the right adress. She entered the antique shop and inhaled the musty-old smell. Nervously, she walked up to the counter. “Hello, I’m Liz Patricks. My brother told me this is the place ‘certain people’ go for work, and to advance in… other skills?”

Mason laughed, “Yeah. That’s certainly a way to put it. Who’s your brother?” he asked. He looked her over, “You look like Velma.” he laughed again. “Lance, get her an app, I’m gonna get on the computer.”

Lance sighed at the return of Mason, “Nah, she left an hour or so ago. She’s looking into a possible poltergeist on Sleepway Avenue.” At the ding of the bell above the door, Lance turned his attention to the newcomer. “Depends on what skills your speaking about. Speaking, seeing, being? Any of that seem like you?”

At Mason’s comment, Lance rolled his eyes. “You seem a tad on the confused side, would you like to take a seat in the break room and have some tea, while we discuss the matters of your employment here?” the break room was the only really private room in the store. It’s furniture was antique as all the other furniture and objects were. Even the cash register was ancient, so the break room was no different. The deep mahogany chairs and dark wood side tables seemed to fir more into a wealthy woman’s parlor then in the break room, usually occupied by teenagers.

Mason sat down in the break room and took a drink of tea. He liked drinking it. It made him feel like him and not like a shell that other people could just walk into. Yeah, it was cool being able to contact people like that, but it was taxing. He noticed Lance and Liz walk in and shot a wave.

“Yes, thank you.” She observed the amazeing room. “Wow… impressive.” she took a seat in a near-by chair. “Just for futer refence- I normally don’t follow men into the back rooms of their shops then drink tea they give me. Really, I am not that type of person under ordinary circumstances.” She smiled hopeing to break any tesion in the air.

Mason was mid sip and ended up spraying tea back into his cup. He coughed a little, “Ok, ok. We don’t ask it normally either,” he smilled.

“It’s not my shop. I just work here, and Mason here has years on me, I’d be more concerned about him. I’m Lance by the way, I am a speaker just a tad closer to the advanced side, but no where near as experienced as Mason. You have the sight? No possibility of speaking? Is it just static-y their voices, or silent?” Lance offered picking up a sheet of paper and pulling it over his book and clicking a pen, ready for her answers.

Name: Jacqueline “Jack” Moore
Age: 20
Bio: Jack never finished high school. It’s not that she wasn’t smart enough, more that she didn’t want to. It was just too… mundane. She first realised she could see ghosts when she was 14, back when she had long black hair and wore too much eyeliner. Jack was a weirdo as it was, and this just put the icing on the cake. It was getting to the point where she was questioning her sanity, when Miss Solcombe introduced her to the book store.
Power: Sight Holder
Skills: An excellent lacrosse player, can throw a hard punch, undefeated Miss Pacman champion of all time.
Appearance: Short brown hair, brown eyes, freckles
Gender: Female

Name: Jessica Beauchenne
Age: 17
Bio: Never had a job before, in great need of one though, couldn’t believe luck when this one requires her odd power. She hasn’t told anybody about it before because she think they would brand her a “Freak” or something similar. It’s not as though she ever interacts with them, as a sightholder it’s relatively easier just to ignore. She lives with her Mum and Dad and little sister Annabel, none of whom have ever shown any talent for communications with the dead.
Power: Sight Holder
Skills: She can speak French, her Father is French (hense the surname) so she is actually bilingual.
Appearance: Effortlessly pretty with wavy, strikingly auburn (from her Mum’s side) hair and sparkling green eyes. She tries to be up to date with current fashions is an attempt to stay in the so called “popular” crowd at school.
Gender: Female?

Liz laughed. “Right- beware of the jokester.” She smiled. “Uh, silent, but they often communicate in other ways. Like pointing to the chess pieces they want moved, pointing at words at a page in a book I hold up to them, or just body o ‘ghostly’ languge. Once I heard some static, but that was only right after the person died and it might have been anything.” trying to explain it as best she could. “I voulentried at a nurseing home so I’ve had some practice, but they fired my when they saw me playing chess by myself and makeing ‘final statements’ to the famlies of the deacesd, so not much practice.”

Lance suddenly came to his sense of decency. “Sorry I tend to babble quite a bit. Perhaps you’d like an explanation of what Mason and I are as well?” Lance offered dropping his pen. “Mason, have you seen Jack anywhere?”

“Huh..” Mason said, “I’m guessing they branded you a crazy person then..” he scratched his head and had another drink of tea. “I’ll wanna talk to you later, but I’m gonna go make sure the store is alright..” he calmly walked out of the room.

Jack clambered awkwardly off her bike, getting the hem of her jeans caught in the chain in her hurry. She was late. Again. She quickly fiddled with her bike lock and chained it to the post outside the book shop, before charging inside, making the door slam hard against the wall. “I’m here! I-I guh…” She bent double and wheezed. Jack made a mental note to stop ignoring her alarm clock. “Mason? Lance?”

Mason walked out just in time to see Jack clamoring into the doorway. “Your late again Jack,” Mason said, taking his headphones down off his ears, but turning it up louder. He leaned against the wall and sighed, “Your lucky I’m not such a stickler for this kind of thing.”

Jess Entered the door of a dusty looking antique place, laden with resumes, hoping to find a job. It was with a start that she realised that this place was full of the strance translucent beings that she’d taken to ignoring, none of her friends could see them… but even more than usual, it was crowded.

She pushed her way through to the front desk and looked around for a person to hand a CV to.

“Hello?” She called.

Lance looked up when his name was called. “Jack! We’re back in the break room. Well I am at least.” After this outburst he turned his attention back to Liz. ” I am a speaker, that means I can sense a spirit and I can talk to them. That static you hear on occasion is what I can translate into words.” He offered as an explanation . “Most people with the sight can’t hear it, Mason is his own flavor and it isn’t my place to tell you what he is.” Lance offered, when Mrs. Solcombe returns we can accept your application. You are free to stay and wander about and meter our little family.” Upon hearing the sound of the bell, Lance stood. “Excuse me, I’ll just get that.”

Mason saw the girl walking up to the front desk, she must’ve been a Sight Holder. He tapped her on the head, “There are two live people right next to you. My name’s Mason, I’m the manager here,” he said, taking another sip of tea.

“I know, I know.” Jack said, looking a bit embarrassed as she ruffled her short hair. “I just had a thing this morning. I won’t be late tomorrow, I promise.” There was no ‘thing’, there never was. She smiled when she heard Lance calling from the back. “I’ll be right with you. See you later, Mace.” She scurried away quickly, not looking to get in any more trouble.

“I’m Jess,” She said, “I came to enquire about whether you have a job available but wait, you know about the dead people? What are they? Why can only I see them? Is it because I’m strange?” She asked questions stumbling out of her mouth, she couldn’t quite believe that people knew about the other ones, the ones nobody else could see, the not “live” ones.

“Hold on a sec back there!” he called, “Hey Jess. Yeah, we’d like to talk to you about that sight of yours. Those are ghosts.” he smiled. “Wait right here a second, please..” he began to walk to the break room, stopping only to say “Another Sight Holder,” to Lance. He sat down in front of Liz again, “Hey! I’m back. what were you guys talkin about?”

“Hi, Liz.” She was a bit surpirsed (do to her previous situation) how nonchalant about eveything. “The other man said I should worry about you, Mr.Pervert.” Liz said at Mason playfully sipping her tea. “He said you take girls back her all the time.”

“Yes. We call what you do ‘Sigh Holding’. You can see ghosts. Do you ever hear any static type noises?” he asked, leaning against the wall, “Feel free to sit somewhere. and If you’d like, I can explain Lance’s power to.
