Hum. "Many ghosts in folklore can only be perceived in certain circumstancesor by certain people - less being invisible, and more being selectively perceptible."

"I'll have to do some research." But she can try to wrap her thinking around that way now...

Ruby offers some pretty insightful critiques, adapting quickly to how Ellie's powers differ from hers. 

Fun!

Yeah!!

Good thing Ellie has off tomorrow. She's not planning on sleep at a reasonable time.

They could see if Ruby's sleep skipping tricks translate well...

Ooh. Yes, they could.

Might actually be easier for Ellie than it was for Ruby, given the 'restless dead' angle. 

Oh, good catch.

Hard to test right away, though, which was the big problem for Ruby. 

They'll just have to keep going and see if it becomes a problem. She'll keep the metaphor in the back of her mind.

Sounds good.

It's really fun doing this with someone else.

Excellent.

And as the night wears on, Ellie does not find herself getting tired.

A good sign!

Yep.

"The real trick tends to be maintaining it - you're doing well already, but probably you'll still find yourself tired soon enough. ...Might crash as soon as you leave the transformation, actually, I did that a lot when I was starting out..."
