9 Ghosts [text]

[schrodingersghost]

So, I've been hearing a lot about how different everyone's world is.  And I got to wondering something.  How many people here had ghosts at their homes?  And what kinds of ghosts were they?

Is there any other kind?

Don't ask me, I only deal with the living. You're the expert here, kiddo.

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

...I'm no expert. I just picked up a few things from my parents.

[yankeedoodledr.livejournal.com]

That still puts you one up over the rest of us - I only picked up my golf game from my dad.

...wait. Are you saying that you're the son of a ghost?

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Um, no.

My parents are ghost-hunters. And inventors.

[He says this with an odd mix of embarrassment and reluctant amusement.]

[yankeedoodledr.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well. That makes all the difference.

[He's... not really sure what to believe here.]

So... ghosts, huh.

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Yeah. But the ones around here don't sound too much like the kind that attacked Amity Park all the time.

...so how do you even hunt a ghost? Big butterfly net? Traps of holy water?

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Anti-ghost weapons. Mom and Dad invented all kinds of different ones. The ecto-bazooka, the Fenton Ghost Assault Vehicle, the Fenton Utility Weapon, the Jack'o'Nine Tails, the Fenton anti-creep stick...

Huh. Sounds like you got enough there to keep an Army well-equipped. And I was just getting used to Howitzers and Sherman tanks...

Alright, so. You hunt ghosts. Is there any reason for this or is it just the usual Transparent Menace?

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

We had a weapons vault, if that's what you mean.

...But I don't hunt ghosts. I have zero interest in going into the family business.

...Well, they are usually trying to take over the world.

[yankeedoodledr.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to hear that. I think.

Taking over the world? Why? I mean, I can understand taking over a bed sheet factory, but... the world?

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Don't ask me. I just know they attacked our town every few days, but I was always too busy running away to catch the finer details.

[yankeedoodledr.livejournal.com]

A man after my own cowardly heart.

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Gee, thanks.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with self-preservation! As far as I'm concerned the world would be a better place with a few more cowards in it.
