The power to communicate with corpses.
Used by Ripley Ross, Created by TheSuperChrisb.
(Activating this Effect is not obvious. The only sign you are using an Effect is that her tongue sparks a with dark purple. )

Mrs. Ross has a gift. One that has been built over a good many years. First they started as whispers in her dreamscape, moans that clouded her mind like a fog in the late evening hours. She doesn't quite remember how it happened, the moment was vague. She heard a lamenting echo coming from a body in a casket, a relative whose funeral was still in progress. Though she cannot speak, The Voice in her head certainly can, and she tried to reach out to the whispers like she never could anyone else. To her immense surprise, the they responded, a cavalcade of emotions from the recently deceased.

Mrs. Ross uses the spirit's connection to their loved ones in order to entice them to speak to her, so that their final wishes may be fulfilled. Spirits do not come to her more than once a day, however, as some dark figure in the veil looms near her metaphysical presence...
