02,00 - Ghost Hunting

Post by Greywolf »

The next few weeks of the semester pass pretty much without incident. At first the talk was all about the fire in The Roost, but in time it begins to die down as the student body get back to what it does best, dating, partying, drinking, sports, oh, and some studying. It seems almost a dream that such a disaster nearly took a larger percentage of the Freshman class in their first week. A dream. Yeah right. Dreams. Since that night your sleep has been troubled, frequent dreams disturb you. Dreams filled with unseen threats, feelings of pain and betrayal, and fire, there is always fire in the dreams.
Last night Dan had a particularly vivid dream, being chased through a maze of corridors, by a largely unseen, but terrifying predator.

So today you are all a little the worse for wear when you are arrive in Glenmac's office for your weekly 'parole-meeting'. Actually it's been kinda cool. Jackson and the Professor aren't bad company, and they know all the stories about unusual happenings on campus.

You walk into the room to find Jackson marking a campus map with various red crosses as Glenmac reads out a list of locations. Most seem to be in or around Danford dorm.

". . . female native american, description too vague to identify tribe, with chest wound glimpsed fleetingly third floor bathroom". Doctor Maclanahan, presses pause on his dictaphone and looks in your direction.

"Come in, come in. Don't mind the mess. Been collating a surge in reports of ghost sightings in the last few weeks. Something strange seems to be afoot. Jackson and I can barely keep on top of it all. . ."
"Hmm. . . ", he looks at you speculatively. "Don't suppose you'd be interested in earning a few bucks for two or three hours work? Just doing a door to door in Danford dorm, ask a few questions, maybe take some readings for me. Who knows, you might get lucky and see a real ghost."

Kia's eyes widened at that, and she glanced at the other students who she'd come in with.

"Is that..." she looked back at Jackson and the Professor. "...is that what we're doing? Oh my God, is this like those shows on TV? Like, there's microphones and spooky places and everything's all green?"

The tan-skinned asian girl went over to the map and peered more closely at it.

"Oh wow...those are all the ghosts?"

Eugene studied the map the professor was marking. Mostly it was a way to not stare at Kia, the new girl in the group. A cheerleader. He wasn’t the kind of guy cheerleaders hung out with. Mostly they ignored him. And now he was sitting, like, next to her. He could smell her jasmine perfume. And she was really peppy and...bouncy. He’d never even talked to her other than mumbling his name when they met.

“Th-That doesn’t sound too hard,” Eugene said to the offer of helping out. “Easier than slinging pizzas.” He could always use the extra money. His parents weren’t well off to give him an allowance. “When do you want it done?”

Dan smiles and nods at Kia when he sees here at the meeting.

At the menion of ghosts, he rubs his right forearm absently, then, noticing what he is doing, stops and drops his arms to his sides.
"I don't know, Doc. Wouldn't want to make my ghost girlfriend jealous." he glances at the map. "Any sightings at the Raven's Roost, at the Sweat Lodge?"

You notice a look pass between Jackson and Glenmac as you mention the Roost. Jackson raising an eyebrow quizzically, Glenmac shaking his head almost imperceptibly.

"Right now our focus is more on Danford Hall. There have been too many incidences of late. Maybe if we get a few more documented we'll be able to see some pattern in the manifestations, some common theme. If they are unquiet spirits, what has them riled up, why now?", Glemnac explained a puzzled frown on his face.

"Sooner the better I'd say", added Jackson. "No time like the present after all"

"Indeed, I think I can stretch to a budget of $100 for the job. Take a couple of recorders to take statements and one of the cameras, just in case you get lucky"

You hear the sound of the door opening, and as you turn to look, a head peers self-consciously round the door. Zoe smiles briefly seeing that you are all here before coming in and letting the door fall shut behind her.

"Sorry I'm late", she says pulling up one of the empty chairs and peering up at the map. "What are we talking about today?"

Half in response to Zoe's question, half to the professor, Dan sums up. "They want us to go to Danford, knock on doors, and if anyone's seen or heard anything out of the ordinary. Take statements, record them, and if we see anything weird, get pictures."

“Hey, Z-Zoe,” Eugene greeted the other girl of their group. “What Dan said. Asking questions and stuff. The professor is paying us, too. Like work study,” he explained. “Apparently things are getting weirder at Danforth.” Students always told stories about the old dorm.
