This place is just hilarious. Seriously, I can tell. Barrel of laughs a minute from here on out.

[Phantom Girl has swapped out her black and white costume for a dusty old tan jumpsuit and a whole lot of weird electronic equipment. Actually, she vaguely resembles......]

Apparently, 'helping the city' translates into 'ghost-hunting' today, which is just about the worst use of my superpowers I've ever heard. ...Maybe I need a new costume insignia. Anyway, I'm not egotistical enough to think I can handle everything on my own - I've only been here like, two weeks, and yeah, there's stuff in this crazy place I've never gone up against before.

So! ...Who wants to help me out? I can make it worth your while. Never hurts to have a bona fide superhero in your debt, right?

I've been hearing about this weird castle that turns all spooky at night. In the, uh... Leo district, I think it was? It's pretty recognizable. Lots of gold filigree and that kind of thing. If you think you're game, feel free to meet me there a few minutes before midnight.

I'll totally bring snacks.

((Edit!  The action/log portion will be taking place here instead.))

"I've set my cart up in a few places where there were insubstantial demons. Do you have to go to this specific building?"

[phantom_envoy]

"You know, I think it's only the mail that's supposed to work through rain or shine - not food carts. You're totally allowed to wheel it somewhere else when there are ghosts flying round."

Phantom Girl gives a shrug.

"Not really, but it's supposed to be a place that's only haunted at the 13th Hour."

[trombeoverride]

"Ah, but people need to eat, even during the 13th hour. Even ghosts need to eat sometimes, its bad business to discriminate."

[phantom_envoy]

"...I thought the point of being a ghost was that you were dead. ...So, you know. No food required."

[trombeoverride]

"I don't pretend to understand, I merely sell my wares. That being said I've learned to handle myself as well should you need assistance."

[phantom_envoy]

"Well. I won't turn down a friendly offer." She gives a smile. "But if you start feeding the ghosts instead of hunting them, I might be a little bit annoyed."

A pause.

"Actually, what do I care? This isn't even something I want to be doing, so. Eh."

[trombeoverride]

"It would be easier to hunt them if they were fully fed instead of hungry and on the hunt themselves. Still, I don't think I'll be bringing the cart, the other.... Package... Wouldn't fit in one of those buildings."

[phantom_envoy]

"...From what I've been hearing, I have a feeling they'd prefer to eat you instead of any noodle packs you might have. Can you please just bring some kind of weapon or something?"

[trombeoverride]

"I had 2 pistols in my jacket when I was serving you, why wouldn't I bring them here?"

[phantom_envoy]

"They shoot bullets, right?"

And not noodles.

"I'm thinking if there are ghosts, though - and there probably won't even be any - shooting ghosts doesn't usually work out too well, either. Just be careful."

[trombeoverride]

"Yes. They shoot bullets. I also have my persona. Trust me, I'm not worried, even without Trombe."

[phantom_envoy]

"...What's Trombe? An instrument?"

She has a feeling that's what he vaguely wants her to ask about.

[trombeoverride]

"The black robot that was on the news. Trust me, I'll hold my own. Just tell me where you need me."

[phantom_envoy]

"...What?"

She hadn't seen any news about any robots.

"Um. OK, just... be there by a few minute before midnight. Does that sound fair?"

[trombeoverride]

"I'll be there, and I'm disappointed if the news missed all the damage of the fight. Ah well."
