Philatel-426: Difference between revisions

On [[Halloween]] 2019, Philatel got into the spirit of the holiday, making paper cutouts of bats and affixing them to the Post Office walls with [[Lord Thymon]]'s help. After the [[Spirit Realm Gateway]] malfunctioned and allowed [[the Great Ghost's legion]] into the [[Cupid Homeworld]], Philatel was transported to the [[Interdimensional Tavern]] by the [[Emergency Transport Button]] along with the other Cupids, only to be the one to remember that they'd left their whole fleet of [[Fog Ship]]s in the Homeworld at the ghosts' disposal. Later, when [[Foreman-964]] foolishly activated the [[One-Way Forced Spirit Realm Gateway]], Philatel jumped in to try and stop him (though he had not actually understood ''what'' Foreman was doing, merely working off a default assumption that it would likely be worth stopping). This resulted in him temporarily being sent to the [[Spirit Realm]] alongside Foreman, [[Pythagoras-858]], [[Technician-042]] and [[Igor-1612]]. When Pythe figured out that they could now “haunt” the Homeworld, Philatel took advantage of his short time as a “fearsome shade” to “haunt” the [[Department of Construction's headquarters]] and tear Foreman's current stock of warehouse blueprints to shreds. They were soon returned to the corporeal world by [[Juliet-178]], whom Pythe had managed to contact via haunting in order to tell her how to access the machine's reverse switch. Later in the day, after the ghosts had been dealt with, Foreman discovered what Philatel had done and “chased [him] across the Homeworld with a steam shovel”.

Philatel once lived through his “very own [[A Christmas Carol|Christmas carol]]”, meeting the [[Ghost of Christmas Past]], [[Ghost of Christmas Present]] and [[Ghost of Christmas Future]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Case Against Conspiracy (short story)|The Case Against Conspiracy]]'')
