We didn't know Yunzi for more than 3 days or so, but she made an impression of a very straight-faced person, the type who would rather shut up or lash out at you than lie.Just to muddy the waters a bit: it is actually possible that you don't need to be a ghost to lie, so I wouldn't use an attempt to pick apart her story as the sole determiner of whether she is a ghost. Not that the story is necessarily false, of course. As usual, you can make of that what you will.
Oh, absolutely. Which brings me to my previous question, how do you know that the talismans work?That combined with the flickering bright/creepy rooms confirms that something supernatural is going on here.
The way I see it, the following scenario may have happened:
"Hey, human, check out this door. No, don't go exploring the rest of the mansion, check the bathroom first. See? A friend! What do you mean, she is totally human, check it out with that useless trinket of yours! See? Human! Oh, you doubt they work? Let me play with lanterns a bit while you shake the baubles around. You wouldn't know how to use them even if they were real. See? The darkness receded, the amulets work, and thus your friend is not a spirit. Now take her with you and go check out the mansion. And tell her your name, too."
I am in no way arguing that this is what happened, I am just saying that the possibility shoudn't be discarded.
Knowing one's true names usually means that you have power over that person. What sort of power they give may vary from setting to setting.Rex Feral said:Although second choice B is recommended if this is an apparition, I find it hard to believe that the ghost knows our arena nickname, several personality traits we displayed during the tournament, our past relationship with Yunzi and still doesn't know our name. Except for the tournament, we never made it a secret. And how would knowing our name help it ? Is it the trust we are offering that would let it posses us ?
Though I agree on the part that if it is the ghost's doing, it already knows plenty about us to not need it.
