No, it's not always Jingle's fault when you can't get
a song out of your head. However, it's not for lack
of trying.
Jingle was just another one of those dream fragments
out there, trying to stay stable for more than 15
seconds at a time, when he happened upon a trick.
Humans have always had this problem with especially
catchy tunes or sayings: quite by accident Jingle
discovered that if he encouraged that while in
someone's dreamscape, then he could hitch a ride in
that person's subconscious when he or she woke up.
Seeing as even the nastiest human's subconscious mind
is often healthier than the Marches when the Tsayadim
wander on by, this was a pleasing revelation. Jingle
tends to spend his nights in the Marches, then grabs
an available dreamscape, piggybacks into the corporeal
plane and proceed to encourage repetitive mental
behavior. That keeps him in the host's mind until he
or she falls asleep again. It also nets him the
occasional bit of Essence, especially when people
complain about whatever it is that keeps them from
getting the chorus to "Hey Nikki" out of their heads.
Jingle isn't a bad spirit, really: he just wants to
continue to exist, humans would be doing this sort of
thing anyway and he's not doing anything that actually
hurts anybody. Besides, some humans seem to _like_
sitting around singing the same song over and over
again (or shouting out odd but interesting phrases
like 'Waitangi Day!'). However, he's realized that
his mere presence on the corporeal plane is only
tolerated because nobody's noticed yet ... and when
they do, Jingle has no combat abilities or real
defenses except Running Away. He's hoping that nobody
will take him seriously enough to want to hurt him.
Of course, the next Kyriotate or Shedite that
encounters a squatter in a area considered theirs will
probably take steps to disabuse him of that notion.
Editor: Yes, I know Jingle is an Ethereal, not an angel. He'll get put in the right place as soon as I have the energy to make it.
