Talking and negotiating with free spirits has a long tradition in Shadowrun. To give some context the reason I'm wondering about this is because I was thinking about having my players run into a free spirit and I'd like to leave bargaining with it open as an option but I'm not really sure how feasible that is (what do spirits even want that the players can get them anyway?) and if it is feasible how should I roleplay a being from another plane of existence? I understand that the person who summoned it can communicate telepathically but what about other people and what about free spirits? Spirits (generally) have logic equal to their force so obviously higher forces ones are going to be easier to talk to than lower ones but does that mean they're going to be able to speak english? Actually come to think of it is it even a given that spirits can talk in the traditional sense? Do they even have mouths? I'm kind of new to GM'ing Shadowrun and I was wondering how you guys handle players interacting with spirits in a non-combat scenario.
