She's an idiot. She knows it. The first... first anything she has with a person in a long time and she immediately ruins it. She doesn't even know when she last talked to a person before the other day. Good job.

(How dare he screams the other, angrier part of her. She doesn't listen.)

She had no idea how much she wanders around the same parts of the forest until she's suddenly avoiding them. Not that it's likely to matter, she figures. Walter won't come looking for her. But still. It's... it's embarrassing and awkward and she'll just avoid that patch of land for a while.

Finding other places to hang around is harder than she would have thought. That confused scruffy guy keeps almost running into her. If she didn't know any better, she'd think he was looking for her. Sometimes there are other people with him, but usually he's alone. There's some near misses with the new groundskeeper too. He has a real knack for knowing when she's around. It's a little creepy.

...That's rich coming from a ghost.

Well anyway. It's trickier to find places above water to haunt, so she's out a little farther from the lodge than she'd normally be. A little too close to the mines for her comfort usually, but oh well. Not close enough to be in danger. Which is assuming she'd actually be in danger from the things in the mines, and uh... She has no idea. She's dead obviously, but if there's anything that hurts ghosts it's probably on the grounds somewhere. What a thought.

At least the rocks here are nice. And she's close to the water. Wasn't there a movie like this...? Eh.

There aren't a lot of places Murphy expected to end up - prison, most likely. Some shitty apartment back in Baltimore, maybe, if he's lucky. The general handyman/groundskeeper of a wilderness resort...thing? Not so much. It hadn't been an interview he expected to get much out of. Just some gasoline wasted on a pretty drive.

He's not going to look a gift horse in the mouth, though. Hartfield's nice. Decent weather. Tiny town nearby. A nice lake and some rivers off in the forest, probably with some decent fishing. He hasn't gone fishing in a long time. He's looking forward to that, when he gets a chance.

Murphy's considerably less excited about the apparent onslaught of tourists coming out to watch the leaves all change. Tourists. Lovely. He's already hoping that he doesn't actually have to deal with most of them, though that's likely to be mostly in vain. Customer service might not be the main parts of his job description, but the summer staff is packing up and leaving. He'll have to pick up the slack.

For now, though, he's got a few things to keep him busy before this round of guests shows up. He still needs to build up the firewood stores considerably before winter hits - that's a big fucking task, because apparently his predecessors never replenished what they used. It's also one he can only do some much of in a day. Eventually, he's just got to give up and wander down to the lake with what amounts to his lunch, axe in hand still. He never know when he'll need something like that.

One more soul to the call, for all, in silence comes
Two more souls to the call, for all, and in time
Three more souls to the call, they fall, unknowing that
Four more souls to the call won't be all, and you know it

Sacrifice, wasted knife
Destiny redefined
Someone chooses you
Lucky one, close your eyes
Your family knows you're here
