ITT: We're a Family of Professional Ghost Hunters

Set your ray to 'spirit expulsion' and see if you can find the centre of mass! That's where the ghost should be hiding.

Felix realises he didn't distribute rays, or any other equipment.

Well, crap.

"... My ray?" She should be surprised that her funky unky forgot to hand stuff out, but she really really isn't.

"Well, aren't I a lucky ducky?" And everyone else in the room for that matter. "Ya know what I like to do when I'm up shit creek without a paddle?"

You mean aside from mouth off and make your contempt for the family business clear?

Here's where we see that strained relationship.

"... Okay, ya know what else I do?" Suddenly, she grabs the nearest piece of furniture she can and tosses it into the hole. "Just tear the fuckin' place down till I get results."

And with that, she begins jumping to and fro, grabbing whatever she can and slamming it against whatever she can. Not resting until she sees what she needs to see.

Felix follows on.

I suppose this isn't the worst thing you can do in this situation.

A roar comes up from the ground.

Matthew grins. "Heh heh. Here it comes."

Rufus growls in anticipation.

"Cool, I won! Now..." Shoot, that's a scary sound.

"... Now, I beat a ghost up."

A large humanoid ghost emerges from the ground, and lets out a bloodcurdling roar.

I guess I'll just show you all what to do if you're equipment's broken.

He clears his throat.

Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao. Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao. Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao. Yu Mo Gui Gwai Fai Di Zao.

This one better not have expired...

The ghost freezes for a second. It screeches, and starts to turn opaque.

Alright, now it's corporeal! Give it everything you got, guys!

He picks up a plank of wood and runs at it.

"I don't understand you."

"Alright, it's go time!"

Matthew runs at the ghost, preparing to tackle it.

Sorry, if it's not too much to ask, can you please use a different text colour? White text is totally invisible in Day Mode.

(Wolfgang starts bashing the ghost with a fire extinguisher.)

Rufus also charges at the ghost, trying to bite it.

"Let's do this!"

(She grabs a fire extinguisher and aims it at the ghost)

The ghost growls. It is overpowered by the barrage, letting out a final wave of energy that shocks the entire town before disappearing.

Now's when we'd vacuum him up, if we had a container. For now he'll just run back to his home, and stay outta this area for the rest of his afterlife if he knows what's good for him.

Felix turns around and assesses the state of the town. The wave of energy caused buildings to collapse and leafless trees to fall over.

Aw yeah, collateral damage.

He chuckles.

We're lucky there aren't any people around...'cause if there was they'd want us to pay for all that. Alright, Matthew! Switch the VR off!

"Alright, dad!" Matthew runs over to the side, where the console still appears as a 3d model. Matthew pulls some switches, and the machine powers down, causing the room to fade back to normal.

Cochran enters the room, holding a tray. Atop the tray, several bowls of chicken noodle soup.

Cochran’s mousy voice squeaks up, I fixed up some soups for you!

He hands bowls to Felix, Wolfgang, Matthew, Gunther, and Sarah. Noticing the new guests, he peers with slight confusion.

Guests today? Oh dear, I must apologize, I hadn’t known... I’d’ve prepared more soup if I’d known...

"Sorry Uncle Cochran... I was kinda surprised too. It's not your fault."

Matthew looks around at the other guests.

"One of you could have my soup, if you want. I should be working on writing, anyhow."

"Thanks."

"Alright! Dad, can I be excused to work on my thesis on dragons?"

Felix sighs.

Sure, son.

Matthew makes a very weird excited noise. "I got some great evidence today. There were these very big, clawed footprints by the dumpster. Bernie told me that the Andean condor just escaped again, but that couldn't be. I saw two zookeepers carrying it to the enclosure! No, this was definitely the work of the dragons. They are among us, and some day the world will realize it!"

Matthew laughs excitedly as he goes into another room in the back. The sound of frantic typing ensues.

(A knock is then heard on the door as a shrill voice cries out...)
"Daddyyyyyyyyyy! Daddy, are you home?"
(Outside was a petite young lady in a pastel purple dress. Her brown hair was put up and braided. The girl then whines...)
"Daddy, pleeeeease let me in!"

NAME: Priscilla Marie Bianco
AGE: 17-going-on-18
PLACE OF LIVING: New Tempesta
OCCUPATION: Unemployed
RELATION TO FELIX: Daughter

"Well, can somebody pleeeeeeeeease let me in?!"
(Priscella then whines in frustration.)

Coming, sweetie!

Felix goes to the door and opens it.

You're just in time to meet some of your visiting relatives.
