[ Okay so this is bad, but she can keep her cool. Amanda's seen plenty of spirits! Mostly, she's only seen small nature or object spirits up close, yeah, sure; but one of her roommates was in a damned ghost hunt. It's just, she's not used to this kind of spirit. These are... people. Right? The shadowed remains of those who lived and then died, and while another friend of hers has raised the dead, the jumpy nature of these spirits - the way they try and fail to communicate - it's all unsettling and all a little bit wrong.
But she's tough. Amanda definitely makes a point of looking casual and relaxed, not even letting on how nervous she is to herself; convincing good ol' number one that she's fine is practically her superpower. Thus she only barely flinches and shivers when a young woman, a bit confused looking herself, starts trying to get her attention. ]
Um. ...Hold on. I've got a friend who doesn't talk but... uh, you got a... notepad or something?

Uh, hey there Porky! Just gimme a sec.

[ There is a scream. It comes from someone unaccustomed to this kind of panicky, shrill screaming, a young woman who is usually way too goddamn confident to ever freak out. Screaming in surprise! Just surprise, that's her story and she's sticking to it, even if it's understandable that some people might freak out over being dead.
So okay, maybe the heavy breathing - why is she breathing, she's a ghost??? - is a sign that she's lost her cool, along with the running the fuck away from the horrible murderer pig that ended her run all too soon.
...Amanda definitely hasn't even noticed that she ran through someone. ]
