Re: Who You Gonna Call?
White Whisper raised his eye at the key. Not his eyebrow, his eye. Have to make sure this kind of stuff is genuine, and that often requires a certain tilt of the head.
In the meantime, let snark not be abated. "Huh. Didn't know this factory was modeled offa Rumpelstiltskin. Watch your firstborn, folks."

The twins both look at him. "What's a rumpled kilt skin?"

"Exactly what it sounds like. You peel the plaid from a kilt and then wumple it up a little bit - softens into a sort of taffy and resolidifies if left in a shape a certain amount of time. Foals often get hold of 'em, and then real youngers get in accidents. Tragic."

Rhinestone smirked at Whisper. "A true Scotscolt goes commando, so his rumpled kilt skin can feel the breeze. Still prolly shouldn't look at it though."

Both twins listen to both explanations with looks of complete and utter confusion. They look at each other, and then Hallows walks over to the key. "So about this dead doctor or whatever we were doing." She grabs the key and slots it into the door, trying to open it.

Such a claim is so silly that only somepony (or somejackal) who has never actually seen a kilt might believe it.AProcrastinatingWriter wrote:"Exactly what it sounds like.

The door opens easily, and Tsar Bomba happily goes through. The door opens into a small room covered in sand, featuring a table and a shelf with various tools. To the table's right is what looks to be a drill press with several other metal devices attached to it. In the far corner is a pile of old tires in front of a cabinet with large metal parts. Two chains dangle from the ceiling, and aside from the recently opened door, there is another door at the far end of the room. The most notable part of the room, however, is a large mechanical sphere in the center, which Tsar Bomba is examining with great care. Maverick's M.E.D.S. detects three additional ghosts in this room.A1C Bronymous wrote:Both twins listen to both explanations with looks of complete and utter confusion.

The twins snake their way into the room, and upon seeing no one else, they make their way past everything, taking only a moment to glance at the chains warily, before moving to the door. "I don't see him here." "Told you he was probably dead." Hallows sniffs around the door for a moment, and then Gallows tries to open it.
Cursory glance at the chains, are they connected to anything besides the ceiling?

Re: Who You Gonna Call?
Maverick immediately tensed at the beeping on his M.E.D.S. He turned to Rhinestone and whispered. "Could Bell Mare tell us a little more about our ghostly friends in here?"
With that, he turned to the next object of interest; the metal sphere dominating the room...

They're connected to trapdoors in the ceiling, but are otherwise dangling.A1C Bronymous wrote:The twins snake their way into the room, and upon seeing no one else, they make their way past everything, taking only a moment to glance at the chains warily, before moving to the door.

Tsar Bomba is so focused on the device in the center of the room, so he doesn't seem to notice the twins. The door to the next room opens easily into a two-story room, with the first floor and most of the walls covered in sand, obscuring what's inside except for a large clock on the north wall - a clock with no hands on it. Some of this sand pours into the room the Ghostbuckers are currently in, but not enough to be a major nuisance... yet.
The object is a bomb, the biggest one Maverick has ever seen. There's some sort of magical residue about it he can't identify, but he is certain that it is made to explode. Interestingly enough, though, there are several small hatches on the device, of which only one should be necessary - the one that contains the wires. He is not, however, a bomb expert, and does not know WHY there are other hatches.Crystalite wrote:Maverick immediately tensed at the beeping on his M.E.D.S. He turned to Rhinestone and whispered.

"Sand...." The twins turn away from it in distaste, and then return to the chains in the ceiling. "Hey guys there's a big clock with no hands." "Probably for you, timey-wimey." Hallows adds, winking at Chronos, before both twins pick a chain. "3" "2" "1" "PULL!"

Re: Who You Gonna Call?
The good news is that both of the twins manage to pull a chain. Gallows' chain is pulled just fine, opening the trapdoor and revealing the ghostly image of a sleeping cat, which soon wakes up, hisses, and vanishes. The bad news is that when Hallows pulls the chain, she falls straight onto the floor. Ghostly cackling is heard as something flies past, sending the sand that piled in the room flying everywhere. Tsar Bomba and Chronos cover their eyes and cough violently.A1C Bronymous wrote:"Sand...." The twins turn away from it in distaste, and then return to the chains in the ceiling.

Everyone who's not Gallows and Hallows roll an Endurance check, or some other method of enduring lots of sand flying into your face and possibly lungs. Gallows and Hallows take 5 damage and a -10 penalty to perception until they can get to a room with no sand and rest for five minutes.

Re: Who You Gonna Call?
The twins tumble into each other for the umpteenth time today, coughing and sputtering in the sand. They scramble to their paws, trying to get away from the door and back towards the group. They make contact with Chronos, and sit, trying to clear their vision. Doing so, Hallows comes to the realization that her left leg is in a LOT of pain, and she whines a bit, leaning on Chronos as she takes all her weight off of it.

Re: Who You Gonna Call?
Maybe standing near the front of the group hadn't been such a good idea.
White Whisper reflexively drew into himself. For most ponies, this would mean curling up into a ball and squeezing their eyes shut tight. For Whisper it meant, in very technical and broadly-defined terms, ceasing to exist.
He was still there, by all non-scientific observation, but the sand passed through him like they were searching for their Higgs Bosons. Somewhere in the mess, a green glow lit the area, and much of the sand suddenly turned verdant as well - and then simply stopped moving, crystallized in time and space.
White Whisper said nothing, but looked dourly at his cigarette. He never could get the hand of making flames intangible, and so: the sand had put it out. Swell.

- Used "Walk through Walls" to go intangible, allowing the sand to pass through me. Of course, because there is a prep time of ten seconds, I first used my Poltergeist to stop most if not all of the sand heading towards me (and, if I have not yet hit the 50 pound weight limit, some of the sand heading towards Chronos and my comrades). If this stops the sand permanently, cool. All further sand attacks are usless against me for the next 10 minutes. If not, walk through walls absorbs most of the blow.

"I could see what-" Rhinestone began, but the sand flying everywhere interrupted her. Dirt in her eyes was no issue for Rhinestone. Good wet clay, loam or mulch was barely even an issue. But dry, sharp sand? That could hurt. She had dug beach graves before though, and knew what to do. She slammed her eyes shut and threw one hoof over her face, mind lighting up.

Whisper takes the brunt of the initial sand blast... or rather, stops some of it in front of him as the rest passes through him towards the rest of the group.AProcrastinatingWriter wrote:He was still there, by all non-scientific observation, but the sand passed through him like they were searching for their Higgs Bosons.

Most of them take it pretty well, though - the sand seems to direct itself around Sweet Puff, not wanting to touch her, while Rhinestone can hold steady against the flow. Unfortunately Maverick's M.E.D.S. is not so lucky, getting filled with sand and glitching out.Elacular wrote:"I could see what-" Rhinestone began, but the sand flying everywhere interrupted her.

Hmm... dust flying everywhere in a devilish manner... I bet this is the ghost of a forlorn opera singer crying out for her lost love!
I apologize super hard for the delay.

"What's... what's going... he began.
It was then that he got a mouthful of sand and started coughing violently.

The twins keep coughing, and Gallows tries to go for the door. Hallows grabs Chronos' head letting him cover his face in her shoulder, while she does the same in his.
