Chapter 12 Page 24

[Vine Boom Sound] Reminder: This whole deal with Bahram and the Body Market was mentioned In Chapter 6 when Naomi is addressing the Council. Small detail, not super important but yeah

Comic transcript

Darcy blinks in disturbed shock. AKIVA: "What's the Body Market?" RILEY: "It's this system Spirits use to temporarily borrow human vessels. Consensually rent them, I guess. Humans offer up a timeframe of possession and in return, the Spirit grants them some wish." QUINN: "It's like a pact, but different. It's not binding and you can opt out whenever." NAOMI: "Netos banned Bahram from the Body Market in the nineties because he was using it to actually pact with people, which is against the rules." ISAAC: "What a freak..." AKIVA: "Gross!" EDEN: "The OTHER thing though, is that Spirits can only use a human body for a maximum of ten hours. After that, not only does the human die in the Astral... but the guest Spirit usually dies too. Do you see where I'm going with this?" Isaac does see where he's going with this, and his face goes stone cold.
