Polly held back a smile as she watched Valentine lung for the plate of cookies. She bit into her own peanut butter and jelly sandwich as she observed the other guests. You could tell a lot about people by the way the eat.

"Wait, what?" Kiora asked, swallowing her current mouthful. "Peanut butter cookies?!"
She had her kunai out before she'd finished the sentence.

Rainer watched as everyone ran to the kitchen to eat. He wondered. That other guy was offering him alkaline batteries earlier. For some reason, those sounded more appetizing than peanut butter. It was only just then that he realized this was a bad sign.
He'd try to force himself to eat anyway. That had to work...
Laugh and grow dank!
"What- aw Christ!" Grimm's laughter almost ended up suffocating him as he saw what was about to unfold. Choking down a bite of sandwich, he managed to say "Great. Dinner and a show." There seemed to be a catfight primed to occur, and with the involvement of food too! That meant that it was an inevitability that at least one of them would get themselves covered all over with something.
"All we need is someone to film this."

Mary turned her head towards Kiora, hands still on it. She said in a neutral voice, "Wait, what? What's wrong with it?" It couldn't be an allergy. If it was, she would've been developing rashes by now.

"She said peanut butter cookies," Kiora said, a manic glint in her eye. "I love peanut butter cookies. I'd kill for peanut butter cookies."
She blinked. What had she just said? She glanced down and realized she had finished her own food. Guess I'm back up to par, she thought. Now about those cookies...

Valentine stopped and spun to face Kiora the moment she saw the glint of metal in the ninja's hand.
"If you want a fi-" she started to snap before stopping herself mid-sentence. Think Jessica! Do you want to renew your rivalry with this girl? Not to meantion, if this is a story, what do you think happens to the unrepentant assholes? Thats right, killed within thirty pages! Do you want that? Sighing, she softed her stance. Oh boy, I can only hope she isn't vengeful.
"If you want to, how about we share?"
Mary's mouth hanged open, a few bits of mushed up bread on the roof of her mouth, "Uh...the rest of the peanut butter cookies should be in one of the bags. I remembered buying several packs of them a week ago."
Mary went back to eating the rest of her sandwitch, nibbling the main part of the sandwitch. She finished by pushing the curst into her mouth with the flat of her palm.
Everyone was just getting wierder and wierder.

"No messy catfight?" Grimm looked visibly disappointed. "In any case, just as long as we're all sharing now, how 'bout you pass some of those over here?"
yey

"No," Kiora said, putting the kunai away. She shook her head to regain some self-control. "I'm good." If she really needed anything more, that food pellet would be a lot easier on her now that she'd eaten.

Polly clapped her hands together. "Okay, so," she said. "A majority of people here seem to be fond of peanut butter. What else do you guys like? Are you from Earth, too?"
Letting himself get jumped by his own prey. He must've looked like an idiot in front of everyone else...
Cyrus almost put his hand on the doorknob, but was stopped when a presence suddenly appeared on his ghost radar. His halo lit up full force.
It was in the house. Somewhere.
He felt it scampering around the attic. Just above him.
Cyrus glanced at everyone else-they were too busy eating. He figured that if he forced a ghost out of her house before it destroyed anything, she might be less angry at him...
So he headed upstairs, making his footsteps as quiet as he could, following the demon's feel. It probably couldn't smell the silver on him yet.
He took a dart out as he entered the attic, planning to just stay on the ladder and not actually go up there.
He couldn't even see it, but he could definitely sense the little bastard poking around. He nailed it with the dart.

"Jack, you have debauched my sloth."
Mary whipped her head towards the noise of the door opening and saw Cyrus run into the house, up the stairs.
"What is he..." he dropped the ZipLock bag full of crumbs into the table and ran after him.

Kiora, antsy as she was, sprinted after Mary, eager for some action. All right! she thought, drawing her last two kunai. She could hear the commotion upstairs, and activated her Byakugan as she ran.

Valentine unholstered her pistol and looked over at Polly.
"Should we follow?"
Oblivious to Mary coming after him, Cyrus took out his pistol and let the bullet tear through the demon's body.
He obviously did not want to go up there and risk breaking something, so he took what looked like a spool of red string out of his supply pouch and pulled a length off of it, then lassoed the demon's body, an easy feat as the string was attracted to the paranormal.
The demon's body retracted towards Cyrus, and he took it down with him under his arm.
"It was poking around your attic. Glad I got it out for you?" He gave her a smile that bore no hint of sincerity.
The demon, now that it could be seen, bore a disgusting kappa-like appearance, with dirty little clawed hands. It must've been the ghost of some kid who drowned in the river or something, weren't kappas water-dwelling?

"Jack, you have debauched my sloth."
Polly shrugged at Valentine and her weapon. "If you want to. I'm ready."
Mary covered her ears as she heard the shots from the pistols. She lifted herself up the ladder, one palm still on her ringing ears. It was fortunate she decided to sand the ladder a few years ago, or she might've got splinters in her hands.
"What are you-?" she peeked up and saw the demon in front of Cyrus.
"Not another one." She immediately dropped back down, landing bottom down on the floor. No need to get caught in the action.

Kiora frowned from behind Mary. Whatever that thing was, it looked like it would have at least helped her blow off some steam. She definitely did not like the teen. He reminded her far too much of Sasuke Uchiha.
"Hey, is silver the only thing that'll hurt those?" she asked, eying his weapons.

Mary stood back up and rubbed her hands. She turned to Kiora, pointed up in the attic. She said in a quiet tone, "Those things are now appearing in my house."
At least Cyrus wasn't shooting aimlessely. The mess that would've followed would be not plesant.
OOC: Ladies and gentlemen. Not only we exceeded Beach House in length, we have more pages than Castle had during its first two days. With about ten people still in play, I call this a successful roleplay character thread.

Cyrus just came down with the demon under his arm. Which means it died agin. He shot it only once. They go down quickly after one shot.
"Yeah. Pretty much silver." He said in response to Kiora. He looked over at Mary. "Yes, they do seem to be appearing in your house." he spoke with that same insincere tone.
"Aren't you glad that spirits don't bleed if shot?"

"Jack, you have debauched my sloth."
"Yeah," Mary said, looking up at Cyrus, "I wouldn't want ectoplasm stains in the floorboards."
"Are you sure you want to be alone?" she asked. As cold as he may be, he was an expert at exocising, so killing the spirits would be a breeze.

The following is not setting up for an ass-pull, I swear. I really ought to make a trope page for the fic she's from...
Damn, Kiora thought. Wish I hadn't forgotten my sword, then. The heirloom was edged in silver, so it should be useful in fighting those things.
"What about fire?" she asked, weighing her options.

Mary glanced down at where her holster was hidden, grimancing. In that case, her bullets may be useless. However, it may be the spirits aren't all from his world.
"Is it normal for spirits to poccess Ferris wheel passenger cars?" she asked Cyrus.
Alright Jessica, Valentine thought as she went over to the food, Time to make yourself look less like an ass to these people. For all you know, these guys could be potential employers! I mean all it takes is enough kindn-
She stopped midthought when she saw what was among the various foodstuffs.
"DIBS ON THE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES!" She shouted as she lunged towards the food.
