#anyway yeah her main method of 'communication' is at first yeeting shit and messing with the lights

[inexplicably-spookified]

how the heck did misery end up dead in that au? (and can curly smooch a ghost...?)

in true misery fashion it's a spectacular backfire whilst trying to do something stupid

after miakid's death, she was so frustrated at (gestures vaguely) everything that had happened because of the crown as well as miakid's failure to attack the surface that she attempted to destroy the crown herself, unleashing her magic in a way similar to ballos, just on purpose.

it both worked and didn't - misery's body was destroyed, the crown was shattered to a couple pieces and currently can't reform without outside intervention, leaving the curse technically still intact, which means her 'ghost' is still stuck, albeit in a kind of stasis till a certain medical professional entered the tower a decade later and inadvertently woke her up.

at first nobody, not even the aforementioned medical professional can see or hear her, which frustrates her to no end lmao, though she figures out ways to affect the world around her and eventually make herself, uh, known

(and yes, definitely, absolutely)
