INTRO.

[ultrapenumbramods]

You wake up feeling like you’ve had a rough night’s sleep… maybe a bit jet-lagged, if you’re familiar with the feeling, or perhaps like you, uh, had a little too much to drink last night. Either way, you’re probably not expecting to wake up in a forest clearing, so that might be even more disorienting. It’s not an unpleasant place to wake up, mind. It’s sunny, and there’s a pleasantly cool breeze blowing through. The grass isn’t tall enough that you could get lost in it or that someone could be hiding in it… or something.

There are, in fact, a lot of somethings surrounding you--a veritable menagerie of creatures, some of them adorable, and some of them intimidating… but they seem to be as disoriented as you are. And then, well… you realize something’s a little off about yourself. There’s no pond to look at your new appearance, but… maybe the ground’s a little closer. Maybe you don’t actually have arms and legs at the moment. Maybe you don’t have eyes anymore?

Regardless, something’s definitely up. Fortunately, there’s a path leading out of the clearing, so once you get your bearings and speak with some of the other weird critters you’ve woken up with, you can find… somewhere you can get answers. Well, hopefully, anyway.

I mean, sorta. Egon got turned into a ghost once Ray built somethin' to bring him back to normal. But the device was finished too late and Egon disappeared to the netherworld and the guys had to go in and save him. [All of this is said completely matter-of-factly, like this isn't a bombshell of information to just drop on someone.

Count yourself lucky that she doesn't know about Egon and Ray attempting necromancy in college.]

This doesn't seem the same, though. For one, I don't feel my entire body destabilizin'.

[Between this woman and the chuuni telling everyone they're yokai, Rantaro's really starting to regret giving the "we're dead" theory a shot.]

Yeah... That's wonderful to hear...

[He needs a moment.]

[It's too bad that Janine's really, really used to this stuff. Hard to work around Ghostbusters and not get pretty desensitized to, well, ghosts. Still, she does notice his discomfort.]

You okay?

[whatsmytalentagain]

Yeah, I'm fine. It's just a lot to take in is all.

[Please don't worry over him, random ghost lady...]
