Approach the ghost puppy and scratch it behind it's non corporeal ear.
" Awww it's so cuteeee "
Walking upto the puppy slowly Alexandria bends over to scratch it behind it's ear being careful to give the two boys behind her a good view and smiling sweetly over her shoulder at them.
Who's a good little ghost puppy, wanna come home with mummy? Yes you do, yes you do.
Attempt to lead ghost puppy out to the van and put it inside, warn the boss that if he touches it I'll kill him if I manage.
" This puppy had best be in the van in the same condition he is now when I get back you got it or the ghosts won't be the only thing that vanishes around here. "
[5] After giving your male co-workers a look-see, you attempt to scoop up the ecto-dog...thing. You find that, despite it's translucent appearance, he DOES have a form, and he rest in your arms happily for the moment being. You carry him confidently out of the house, opening up the back of the van and setting him down inside.
However, when you turn around, you're faced by your boss, more than a bit furious.
"What in GOD'S NAME was THAT!? OUR CLIENTS DON'T PAY US TO KEEP THE GHOSTS FOR OURSELVES, THEY PAY US TO ERADICATE THEM! NOW, YOU MARCH BACK IN THAT HOUSE, AND GET RID OF THAT DOG PROPERLY![4 Vs. 1]
"NOW YOU LISTEN HERE, YOU MOUSTACHIOED BASTARD! I am NOT taking the dog back inside, he is going to be our NEW mascot, and this puppy had best be in the van in the same condition he is now when I get back! You got it? Or the ghosts won't be the ONLY thing that vanishes around here."The boss kinda just...backs away slowly, not wanting to deal with the angry lady in pink at the moment. And seeing how scared he looked, you don't think he'll be bothering with the dog anytime soon. You turn back around, and walk back to the front door.
+1 RANK TO ALL. SALARY UP 25$. NEW MISSIONS UNLOCKED"Awww, cute pup! Well, it looks there's nothing dangerous in here. I'm gonna go scope out the kitchen, do any of you want some food?"
Head to the kitchen. Also, rewire my Poltergust to make it stronger.
Encounter Roll: 6
After letting the others know what you're doing and catching a glimpse of Alexandria, you carry on to the kitchen! It's fairly uneventful, but you seem to catch a glimpse of something entering the pantry as you reach the kitchen. Probably just a rat, though.
Upgrade Roll: 3
Pulling out your PSI (Portable Soldering Iron) and Cable Cutters, your heave the Poltergust off of your back. The back paneling is easy enough to pull off, but the inner workings are...a bit more complicated than you'd expect. There's a ton of red wires, and you're not exactly sure which one to cut...
Oh, fuck it. You cut all of them and re-solder them to different parts. It'll have HAD to do something, right? Well, you probably won't know until you try to capture a ghost.
"Brilliant... I get to be crushed by a ghost on my first mission. Gotta love it."
Dexter glares at the ghost and tries to get it off of him.
[6 Vs. 1] Despite being, well, a ghost, the giant red thing seems to have...a form, I guess. Because you manage to get a good enough shove in to send it flying backwards, ending up in the bathroom. You can still see it, and it LOOKS PISSED. You scramble to your feet and get your flashlight and Proton-Pack at the ready. This is gonna be a HARD fight...
To easy.
Head inside, stick to the shadows, keep my hand on the flashlight.
Encounter Roll: 5
You turn your flashlight on, and slowly open the Storage Room door, creeping in quietly. Seeing as you don't encounter any ghosts, you straighten up, and continue to the main hallway. You catch a glimpse of John fiddling with his vacuum in the Kitchen, and smile a bit. You then turn back around to see Dexter in the Master Bedroom fighting a giant red ghost. You turn around once more and see the other bedroo-
WAIT.
SHIT.
"Yeah, cute...dog..." Gerome says distractedly, eyes following Alexandria out of the kitchen.
"...also, we're more likely to be EATEN in the Kitchen. She said the ghosts were eating everything in sight.
Just be on your guard, John."
As they moved, he watched with dismay as John tore apart his only weapon to do a no doubt inferior job improving it. Wondering if that was a good idea...
Action: Follow John into the kitchen. Be extra alert while John is bugging around with his poltergust
Encounter Roll: 2
Following John closely, you feel a strange chill. By the time you reach the Kitchen, you're actually SHIVERING. You can barely watch John butcher his Poltergust! You swivel around, trying to stay moving and heat up, and come face to face with a rather...icy man. He's wearing a thick winter coat, a backpack, and HOLY SHIT HE HAS NO FEET. However, he doesn't seem to be...violent. Yet.
"I say, sir. Would you happen to have a match? I'm dreadfully cold right now."Thomas, having recovered from his Plot-Related Paralysis, jumps up from his spot on the ground, and stands next to Alexandria for the time being.
