ALSO, AS PROMPTS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION, and in the spirit of Halloween: August's GHOST TRICK event!
O-Bon festival: The streets are lined with NPC-run stalls for food, games, and the assorted tchotchkes of every summer festival you’ve ever seen in your animes! There’s Goldeen Scoop, heaping cones of Swirlix Candy, Test Your STRENGTH (there are two different machines for people and Pokémon; HM04 not required); basically, if you can think of it, it’s there. There will also be a yukata rental stall if you want to go full hog on the cultural side of things. Ecruteak boasts a small stage where the Kimono Girls give a short performance once every two hours; the festivities in Lavender Town are a little quieter, but they also have Haunter-shaped ice cream treats. When you lick them, they Lick you!
On the last evening of the festival in either location, there will be a large bonfire and traditional bon-odori dance in which everyone is welcome to participate. In Lavender Town only, they also set paper lamps afloat in the water past the cliffs.
Who you gonna call?: Remember “The Ghost of Maiden’s Peak”? Well, some of the local Gastly, Duskull, and Yamask seem to have gotten it into their heads that this kind of tomfoolery is somehow good medicine. If your trainer had someone in their life, someone now dead, that they have unresolved business with, these ghosties may take it upon themselves to play a little dress-up and follow your trainer around in the guise of said dead person until the issue is resolved. It’s their way of saying thank you for all the spiritual appeasement of the festival.
These ghosts won’t speak; Pokémon don’t talk, after all. So yes, your trainer is going to be followed around by some silent echo of their past who will not leave them alone.
Or, of course, write your own!

[Fucking magic.]
He is a great friend. He pulled me from nothing and stood by me when I was something. Of all my friends [And that included Anders] he is the only one who hasn't hurt me.

Usually when they do it's like a casual hello, a selfless act and then they're there forever. I wouldn't ever let go of that. I hope he doesn't have to either.
From all I've heard of you, perhaps he can say the same about you.

[If only he was there. It might have been easier to work through everything if she could hear his snarky voice telling her all about the messes she found herself in. If it wasn't for blondie, you'd be sitting pretty on the Kirkwall throne, Hawke, he'd probably say. She would laugh, buy him another pint, and secretly mull over his advice.]
[She felt a little selfish, thinking about how much she needed Varric, when it was more than likely that he needed her. Perhaps not this Varric, the one who apparently had a Garrett Hawke to tend to him. But what of hers? Was he warring with his own battles against the red lyrium?]
[Grateful as she had felt for the distractions, even for the moments of clarity, she still found herself worrying over the people she had left.]
That all does sound like Varric, though. Perhaps not the selfless part but... what's the difference between a crossbow bolt and a hello, really?
Re: Video
My hello was a sword stopped short by another man's face. They're good for you, right? Keeps you grounded. Guess in a place like this all you've got is the memories of them.
Maybe that's good enough. Sure hope so.
