Wanna see the most Y2K thing???

A mini landline telephone. Not only is it slightly translucent, it glows in the dark.

I don't remember when I got this but it was from a friend (I forget which one) as a birthday present sometime in the early 2000's. It came with an earpiece which is the only way to talk and listen with it, but that was DOA so I had to use another headset. It looks like there's a mic or speaker on the front but I opened it up and there isn't any such thing behind those holes.

I tried making a call to the landline from my cellphone to see if it still rings but I don't think it's working right. It's not ringing and I can't seem to make calls from it. Granted I don't have a 2.5mm headset to use with it at the moment, so maybe that's needed for it to function at all?? There's a light above the TALK button which lights up when I press the button, so it's getting power when it's plugged in.

I'm gonna do some work on it. You'll hear from me when/if I get this baby working. I really want to set it up to take calls directed to my cellphone!

Character idea- a medium runs an antique store and helps ghosts who haunt old objects move onto the after life. One of these ghosts haunts a 1950's rotary telephone and the medium is able to talk to her through the phone specifically but this ghost refuses to move on. Obviously they're lesbians.

Also there's a poltergeist who haunts the store and is just a pest that knocks shit over. The medium never sees the poltergeist (because ghosts can choose to allow her to see them) and so she thinks he's just an annoying pest. Turns out the poltergeist is a ghost cat just doing cat shit.

#i had the idea of communicating to a ghost through an old telephone and it spiraled from there 😂#i dont have time for it but i wanna sketch them now #not to mention the completely OTHER fae characters that my sister and I made #i do not have enough time for these ideas
