Niles waits a long moment, wondering if anyone had heard what he had said. He gets no response. A moment later, the toilet flushes, and a young Bullseye employee steps out of the cubicle; his ears covered with a headset. Even Niles can hear the music playing from where he is standing; such is the volume.

"You say something, dude?" he says, removing only one of the headphones.

Then you hear the shriek coming from toy section. Th shriek is followed by tittering laughter that seems to come from… everywhere!

"What the hell is that, dude?"

Abby throws some shade with her particles!

"Eat particles, neckbeard!"

She fires!

"Uh, yeah, I was saying your workplace has been targeted by paranormal entities. It is dangerous to go out there. I advise you stay safely in here, or I can quickly escort you out of the building. Make a decision quickly."

"Who's got the trap?" Jasper urgently inquires.

Jasper flips the slightly antiquated steel toggle switch on the side of his blaster.

When he hears the shriek ring out from the toy section, Curtis breaks into a run, his pack jostling on his back.

He skids to a stop as a stampede of Snorlaxes run in front of him, and then he sees Abby and Jasper with their particle beams zapping at some kind of freaky, goopy ghost. He unslings his own particle thrower and aims its beam at the ghost and flips the switch.

The young man hesitates, looking at you as he stands before the wash basin.

"I get a pass… right?" he asks, running his unwashed hands into his Bullseye employee’s t-shirt. "Extenuating circumstances!" he murmurs, as he files by Niles. That final phrase has a question sound to it, as if he wasn’t sure if those were the right words or not…

Niles looks at the young man, not much more than a boy really, about the age of many of his students, with confusion. "You mean, like, to leave work early? Yeah, man, I got you covered. I'm sure this qualifies as extenuating circumstances. Just get for fast before you end up an ectoplasmic smear on the floor."

The young man had been talking about not washing his hands, but takes Niles’ invitation to leave with both hands!

"Thanks, dude! Appreciate it!"
Mar 31, 2025 10:51 am
Niles just shrugs and watches the boy leave the building safely. Then he rushes to the toy section where the rest of the crew is!

"Knew it was going to be slimy!" says AJ as she grabs the Particle Thrower and activates it

"There you goooooo!"

One by one, you fire up your particle throwers! It takes a moment for you to convince the stream to go where you want it to. Once you’ve wrestled the temperamental piece of machinery into submission, the beams hit the ghost at several points.

It squelches in protest, and the wet, slimy sound is a promise for what is to come… if you can’t get this thing under control. Still the battle rages on beneath the things feet; as toys spar for control of this section of the store! That tittering laughter can be heard echoing all around the store as your beams try to do their work!

They almost do! While this might be your first rodeo, you’d read all the books… and Wikipedia articles. The Ectoplasmic Apparition couldn’t stand up to a concentrated barrage of beams.

But this slimer has got some juice in it yet. It clambers out of the way of your beam, just before you beat it into submission! As reward, it aims its long, thin proboscis at ghost hunters who had zapped it, and lets loose a bright blue torrent of slime.

It threatens to coat all of you!

This seems like a BODY thing, dodging slime.
Jasper ducks to the side, trying to put a shelf of (mostly-torn-apart-and-empty) toy packages between the ghost.

"Hey! I get filthy enough at my day job—-EEEEEEE!!"

Abby dives outta the way, shielding AJ with her trash can lid as she sails through the air!
OOC:
+1 to AJ’s roll!
Other than her dropping abs-first on Legos of all things, she’s unscathed! Is AJ OK?

Curtis puts a hand on top of his head to hold down his lucky hat as he leaps behind a shelf of LEGO kits, trying to get out of the way of the stream of ecto-puke.

Each ghost hunter dives off to the side, but only Curtis chooses the correct direction to avoid the spray completely. Abby just raises her tin-can shield in time to stop the most of the slime drenching herself and A.J.

Unfortunately, Jasper is caught full in the face and body by the thing’s thin, jet-like spray of ectoplasmic gunk. Wet, shredded cardboard also catches much of the brunt of the thing’s attack!
OOC:
Jasper is Slimed. How will this impact him?

Players are up! Everyone is back together, too! This thing is almost trappable! You should see success this round!

"Looks like I almost missed all the fun! Looks like you could use my help." Niles unholsters his proton gun (which looks like a Star Wars lightsaber handle) and fires it at the spook!

Abby rises. She looks at Jasper, then glares at the ghost.

"Gesundheit."

She zaps the ghost again!
