The weather was cool and clear, as expected for a winter day, there was a light dusting of of fresh snow along the ground and as a shadow moved over it the snow was left undisturbed. The caster of the shadow was able to leave the snow untouched because the caster's bare feet were a good two or three feet above the ground. Despite the cold the caster was clad in nothing more than a straight jacket. The Jacket hung untied and open and covered the thin form who seemed to be more ghostly then solid. Though she was solid to the touch. Across her copper face she wore a eery smile that held no humor or at least it could be humor that no one would understand. The eyes that were the same color as her skin did not seem to focus on anything in particular as she floating along her way.
Benoni was not one to leave the band's head quarters alone without order but something about the chill of the morning had drawn her outside and alone. Maybe she would find something to make the twins jealous or to appease her lord. She had not brought him back a sacrifice in a very long time. It was about time she showed her god proper tribute since now he was awaken and deserved more attention. This train of thought brought the corners of her lips into a more dark smile. She reached up a jacket bound hand to adjust the shell of her former face a bit lower over her eyes.

While it was cold, James didn't seem to notice. He was wearing a light jacket, and when he passed, snow started to melt. It was sad, really. He watched as it melted, sighing. If Jacen were only here, then the vanilite could have kept the snow from melting. He noticed something different, then. Someone was walking, and not leaving footprints. He looked up, eyes widening.
A ghost pokemon,? And they were wearing a strait jacket! Wasn't that a sign of insanity? That was what it meant in that comic book Jacen had let him read! "You're floating," he observed, aloud. "Do you want to play?" Maybe ghosts weren't as scary as they were in cartoons and movies. Maybe his momma had lied when she had told them that scary story. "You're a ghost type, huh?"

Benoni was aware of a presence near by. She could feel the heat of him and for a brief moment she thought that maybe she had caught her lord outside. But the heat was not nearly strong enough. She then heard a voice that echoed in her mind with unfamiliarity. The tones were friendly and she thought maybe it could bet the twins messing with her again. She turned her head cocked to the side and leaned back a bit to let her eyes peak out from under the shell hooding them. No they could not switch forms. So this was not a band member.
At more of his words she tilted her head to the other side then looked down slowly and then back up. "If there is a ghost here, you are the ghost." she turned her body to face him. Her form was thin but their seemed to be a hint of what could grow into a shapely adult. She lowered her head so her former eyes would look more at him her mouth drawing higher into a bigger smile, "Play? Like a game? Twins make fun games. We play."

He was the ghost? James rose an eyebrow. Huh. Maybe this ghost pokemon didn't know she was a ghost pokemon? That was weird. The ponyta boy couldn't imagine not knowing what he was. "So, er. You're not a ghost?" he asked, hesitantly. Being a prankster, James had always thought being a ghost would be fun. Being able to fly, walk through walls, turn invisible at will and sneak up on everyone--boy, that was the life.
"Uh, yeah. A game. Want to play tag?" Who were the twins? Would he need to explain the rules, or had they already taught them to her?

Benoni did not know why he seemed shocked at her saying she was not a ghost. To be honest she did not know anything about ghosts so maybe she was but that did not matter at all did it? She was just her. People always made things complicated and that hurt her mind.
"Tag? Chasing and running?" The twins often played a similar game but with a wanted item. "What will cause the chase?" she asked moving closer to him. her body was light and did not produce too much heat as she leaned in closer to him trying to see if he had something to steal from him to get him to chase her.

James was pleased she seemed to understand the game. He nodded encouragingly. "Yeah, chasing and running," he said with a smile. He hesitated, not understanding her next question. Something to cause the chase? Er... He leaned away from her, awkwardly. "Er... There doesn't have to be a cause, we just chase. I say you're it when I tag you and then you chase me. And when you catch me you say tag, and then I'm it again! Simple."
He didn't really have anything to snatch and run off with, he decided, after awkwardly leaning away when she got too close. "See? You don't need anything. Just two people."

She looked at him and tilted her head from one side to the other side and narrowed her eyes. Her smile remained on her face though it was not as wide as before but it was still on her thin lips. How strange she had never really chased for no reason. And to be it? What was it? She shrugged and found he was right he had nothing she could steal from him so she gave another shrug and floated back from him then giggled a bit and her lips pulled even brighter.
She floated forward again and tapped his shoulder, "It!" she said and then spun and started to fly off away from him.

For someone who had never played tag before, Benoni sure learned fast, James reflected as he was tagged. As she flew away, he moved to chase her, amused. Yes, this would be fun! He normally played tag with Jacen, so having someone else to play with made the game different. He knew, for example, that there would be no sudden ice on the ground in hopes that he would trip. And in this game, the person he was trying to catch floated.
And probably wouldn't tire as quickly. Oh well. He chased after her, grinning. "I'm gonna get you!" He declared.

Benoni was not used to being chased. She was always the one chasing after others. She was not used to having someone or something trailing her and wanting to catch her. Oh strange was it to have the sides flipped. She felt a strange sort of excitement in her stomach knowing someone was trying to get a hold of her and tag her and she moved rather quickly with that knowledge.
The gapping hole across her back was hidden from view with the straps of her jacket so that even though James was following her he could not see them and risk his soul. If the myth was true. "Catch faster if Benoni had item from you." she said her voice almost laughing as she spoke and slipped between two close trees and shifted to hide behind several tall rocks.

Benoni was probably right, James considered. She was right, he would have been more frantic to catch her if she had had something of importance to him. He sped up, moving to tag her. "I don't have anything you could take," he said, glancing around. Maybe there was something nearby that they could use. He didn't see anything, and by the time he realized he'd accidentally allowed the girl to escape him due to distraction, he had to catch up.
She was awfully fast! He marveled at it. He didn't think Molly, or even Jacen were as fast. Where'd she go? He turned to look behind him, frowning. Somehow she'd escaped! "Where are you?"

Benoni had felt how close he had been to her but he had gotten distracted. She stay crouched behind the rocks trying to think of what she could take of his that he could chase her. She tried to hear the twins in her mind and her smile grew wider for a moment but then she let the smile fade a bit. The idea she had could not work.
His voice drew her from her thoughts of trying to figure things out. She saw him step past her and she shifted to follow him. Maybe he did have something but he just did not know it. She glanced at his pockets of his pants and in one quick moment she partly lept against his back and her hands slide into both of his pant pockets trying to find something to use.

James was rather startled at the movement he felt behind him. "What are you doing?" he asked, almost angrily. This wasn't part of the game! This wasn't even in the rules! Was she trying to pickpocket him? But he'd already told her he didn't have anything. He knew better than to carry anything of value, he kept those things at home.
"I guess this doesn't count as a tag," he grumbled, moving to turn around and attempt to reach her. It wasn't fair if the person the tagger was chasing suddenly pounced them, was it?

Despite his angry tone it did not seem to phase Benoni. She just removed her hands from his pockets. "Sometimes we have things we don't know about." She moved back just out of arms range disappointed that he did not have anything she could take from him and run with him. She did look a slight bit disappointed despite the fact her smile still remained on her lips just not nearly as broad.
"If touching counts...then Benoni is it. Benoni chase now." She said find with switching things over. She did not mind chasing. She was known to having always been the chaser. So chasing this new guy was not too bad for her.

"Okay, you're it then!" James agreed, taking a moment to properly tag her. He didn't feel right, not playing by the rules. Jacen must have been influencing him, he decided. He hated rules! He never lived by them. He never liked following them, and he certainly didn't like listening to authority figures.
He took off, grinning. "Bet you can't catch me now, ghost!"

Benoni tilted her head at an odd angle as he still tagged her. Why didn't just run? How ever as soon as she was ready to give him something of her, to give him a reason for her to chase him he already took off. She straightened her neck and gave him a moment to get a bit of a lead then deciding to chase after him.
She was not chasing him at full speed right now, she was just watching how he moved. She could see that he had the possibility to move real quick so she zipped up close behind him and whispered in a more ghostly tone, "You better run faster." If he thought she was a ghost then she could be a ghost.
