Obviously Marissa's 'elixir of life' didn't pan out the way she'd intended, but she says it made her spirit strong, and that a strong enough spirit can possess people. Is she still harvesting ectoplasm because she has to keep drinking it to make the possession stick? Does exposure to the purified version 'vaccinate' Penelope's body so it doesn't die of ghost touch or can Type Threes just Do That since they get new powers as the plot demands?

Been thinking about this, i think the whole ectoplasm harvesting thing is a scam because Orpheus society is all old people. They wish to know the secret of immortality but the fact is that she's dead. We don't have other people around her who are in her same condition, this thing has been allegedly going on for generations, there should be some if this thing actually worked.

Oh, she's definitely scamming the Orpheus Society and has no intention of letting them in on anything real. Re: other people in her condition, though... I have wondered about Sir Gale since she mentions his ancestor worked with her grandmother, and he lets slip that he still has the Sight but acts like he's exposed a secret he shouldn't have. It's possible that *he* worked with her 'grandmother', in a different guise. Which would mean post ghost-touching he's probably still around somewhere, wherever his source is...

Re sir Gale: she always had a swordsman at her side didn't she, or so said the guy in the tomb. Do you think it might be the OG Rotwell? I never thought about Gale being the same as her, would that mean that his ghost is still looming somewhre because the source wasn't destroyed?

Hm, if he were the og Rotwell I'd think she'd be on better terms with his descendants. The skull said she always likes having a hired killer around; perhaps she just didn't feel like having to hire new help and decided to keep what she had around. It would mean his ghost could potentially be out there, yeah, but who knows where he stashed the source and what proximity it has to new hosts.
