More Ghosts

[scriptrix]

A. [There have been some strange goings on at Fairy Tail guild HQ lately.  Ghostly voices singing into the microphone on stage when there's no one there, wine bottles and glasses from the bar levitating themselves and pouring drinks for patrons that don't exist, chairs flying through the air and across the room when people sit on them... clearly, they have an ethereal visitor.  The only problem is, whatever's causing the problem doesn't seem to have any sort of visible form.  Worried for the safety of her guildmates, Levy reluctantly dons the Ghostbuster Job and sends out a quick Mognet letter to the Heroes of Light in general.]

I think Fairy Tail HQ is haunted.  Calling all members of the guild and anyone else who wants to help.  I don't know what's going to happen when we find and corner it, so be ready for anything.

B. [And just when that threat is dealt with, there's another ghost menacing Levy at the library.  This one seems much more angry and malevolent, hurling books at her and trying to knock over heavy bookcases and displays on top of her.  She isn't sure what she did to deserve this, but Levy's clearly too scared to deal with it on her own.]

H... help!  Someone, please!

[Yelling in a library is a taboo of the highest order, but this thing is damaging the books.  Rules be damned for the moment - whatever this is, it needs to be stopped!  Unfortunately, as she's running through the stacks, Levy's lost her P.K.E. meter.  She needs backup!]

[Rukia's gaze is fierce as she slowly gains her feet, keeping her weapon trained on the ghost. She kicks out the trap with one swift motion of her boot, then stomps on the pedal. The trap doors swing open, sucking the malevolent ghost inside. Snap! The trap is shut, and Rukia turns off her proton pack.]

Got it.

[Thumbs up to Levy!]

[scriptrix]

Whew...

[Levy falls to her knees as the trap snaps shut, letting out a relieved sigh.]

That was rough...

[damn_juicebox]

It's over now. I wonder what drew it here to begin with.

[And the library is completely trashed. She'd offer to help with clean up, but her PKE meter is beeping again.]

Looks like there are more close by. Please excuse me.

[She turns to go, but stops to look at Levy. She doesn't just want to leave her alone after that, but...]

Will you be all right?

[scriptrix]

I'll be all right. It's my job to clean this place up.

[A task she's already started, sighing as she picks up book after book.]

It's gonna be a long night.

[damn_juicebox]

I'll return to help as soon as I am able.

[Which, as Levy will find out, will be several hours later. Look there's a lot of ghosts hanging around out there.]

[Levy's made a dent in it by then, but there's still a lot to do.]

Oh, Rukia. How are things going with the ghosts?
