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.))

"Okay, I will take that as a no. So! Quick tip about ghosts: a lot of the time, they set up these weird labyrinth things, and they get really upset if you try to bypass them."

A pause.

"Like, we're talking about 'constantly physically and psychically assaulted until you are out of range' kind of upset. Half the time it's actually safer to walk into the haunted house."

[phantom_envoy]

"Um."

Phantom Girl squints for a moment or two.

"You're saying if we don't spring some kinda weird ghost trap, they'll get mad at us? I'm not really into playing along for the heck of it or anything. Wouldn't it still just be easier to sort of run in and wave this stuff around and run back out, anyway?"

"It's not always a trap! First haunted house I ever explored, she just wanted to make sure whoever reached the end was strong and brave enough to fulfill her request."

[phantom_envoy]

"Well... Let's just see what we're up against here first, and we can decide on a strategy if they start launching labyrinths at us. ...We might not even find anything at all."

She was of the opinion that it would mostly just be monsters.

[unbroken_chain]

"Sure thing. See you there, then!"

[phantom_envoy]

"See ya."

[And then Phantom Girl makes an awkward call about an hour later explaining the actual circumstances behind the 'haunted castle' whoops but it's all good.]
