Here, there, everywhere
There's a small black kitten taking up an entire sick bed in the hospital, appearing even smaller on the human-sized mattress. He seems unharmed though with how he looks, he may even appear dead. His body hardly seems to move with any signs of breathing. Maybe touching him would help?

Once he's awake, he just opens his eyes and sits up, peering around calmly, then doing the cat thing by jumping right out the window. (They really shouldn't have kept that thing open.) After that, he can be found wandering around Main Street, meowing at people and getting underfoot to get their attention, lounging atop a bench, staring with wide eyes at people passing by from his perch by a store front, or lying prone and unmoving. Again. Is he dead?

He'll eventually find his way to the police station to retrieve his trademark bandanna, leaping atop the counter to allow a poor unfortunate soul to tie it around his neck while giving him directions and a key to his house. Thankfully, he does get the key tucked into the bandanna but how is a cat supposed to get into his house?!


Spoopy things
Whether it's near or far away from the prone body of a black kitten, there are spooky things underway. Maybe that service bell on your table just rang without you touching it, maybe a ball just rolled seemingly of its own volition, maybe a cabinet door snapped open to knock a bottle of pepper off the counter and onto the floor, or maybe a piece of paper came loose from its tack on a board. The little things start to add up eventually.


Option for dead people
Since he woke up, Sissel has been hopping in and out of the ghost world, where time is frozen and the 'cores' of each inanimate object is visible for him to travel to. It does have the unfortunate side effect of leaving his kitten body prone and unmoving, but the things he can do from there are pretty exhilarating. Particular the parts where he can knock stuff over. That's always a joy.

Eventually, he does come across people with those same cores, if of a slightly different color. It's fascinating enough that he will try to get physically close to the person and link his spirit to their cores. The link allows everything he's thinking to be transferred into the other person's mind and the first thing he says is:

Hello?
