Curtis moves down the LEGO aisle, hoping to flank the ghost. Once past the Mario mini figs at the end, he pops out, flips the switch on his particle thrower, and takes aim.

Jasper smears blue goo across his face with the gooey blue sleeve of his once-green surplus flight suit, and spits blue goo onto the floor. He steadies his aim and flips the switch again.

You train your particle throwers on the slime-ghoul once more, and this time there are more of you than before. You have it from several angles now and it’s less able to wriggle out of the particle beam lock!
One of you throws the trap, while the rest of you drag the ectoplasmic apparition to its inevitable end. It’s the work of a moment, but you finally wrestle the thing into the ghost-lock. One, two, three seconds pass, and the thing starts shuddering.
You think the ghost might be trying to throw off its bonds, but it’s impossible. Instead, a huge torrent of slime gushes out of the lock. A final sting in the tail, before the trap falls silent and stops moving.
Each of you are covered in a thick film of slime, but you got your ghost.

As you clean the slime out of your ears, you hear tittering laughter, that sounds like it’s coming from deeper within the clothing section right behind you. More seems to come from the Home Goods section just a few aisles over. More chaos still is coming from the Sports Good section a little further towards the back of the store.
As for the toys, they seem to have fallen silent!

AJ touches with a disgusting face the slime on her
"This is the part I like the least about this job... puaaaaaaajjj"
She removes the slime from the face, but her hair is fully covered with a slime-helmet now.
"But it was cool what it did with the toys, isnt it?"

Abby isn’t easily grossed out because of her day job, but due to her egotistical unzipped, abs-bearing look—
"Daah! That’s cold!" She grabs a Baby Yoda t-shirt from a nearby clothes rack and almost wipes her abs first. It does occur to her it’s best to start with the face before anything drips into her eyes.
"I mean cool," she says, aware of (and embarrassed by) her overreaction. "Yeah, Barbie vs. Hogwarts’ll have to call it a draw for now."Both the Home Goods and Clothing aisle are close. She picks up a Lego Harry Potter. "Face says Home Goods; butt says Clothes?"
She flips the Lego guy. He lands on his side, flops into the slime puddle, and ends up face down in the muck.
Abby points to the Clothing Department. "Harry Potter’s butt has spoken. Shall we?"

Curtis wipes his slime covered face with the sleeve of his jumpsuit. He hoped they could find an industrial laundromat to get the uniforms clean again. It was already starting to feel crusty.
"The toy battle was very cool. Almost like this old movie I used to watch," Curtis replies to AJ. For a moment, he thinks he sees a blue heeler dog plush dancing out of the corner of his eye. But then he blinks and it is gone. Maybe he had accidentally swallowed some of the slime. He rolls his tongue around in his mouth with a disgusted look on his face.
After Abby flips the Potter LEGO, he says "We should stick together. And if we have to split up at some point, do it in two teams." He begins to follow Abby toward the Clothing Department.

Niles wipes a splatter of slime from his face. "I didn't expect it to smell like cotton candy." He wipes his hand on a relatively clean spot on his thigh.
When Curtis mentions the movie, Niles nods. "Me too. Tiny Toys, it was pretty fun. Sounds like there's more than one spook here. Batter up?" he tries to make a pun while pointing to the SPORTING GOODS sign where it seems more trouble awaits.

You creep further into the clothing section, leaving Lucas, the store manager, to clean up the toy aisle once all this is done with.
Bullseye has a lot of clothes aisles! Shoes, socks, underwear, shorts, pants, three-quarter length pants, dresses, summer dresses, etc etc. There’s no end to the aisles and islands that make up the massive array of cheap and cheerful clothes on offer at Bullseye!

As you comb through the clothing section, the laughter that had drawn you hear turns to more of a hungry, gobbling sound: wet and sloppy to boot.
You just about fall over a teenage girl who is hunkering down behind an island full of cheap t-shirts! She’s wide eyed and panting! It sounds like she’s having a panic attack!
"What the heck? What the heck! What the heck? What the heck!" she says, barely even registering that you are there.
Whatever is making that greedy, gobbling sound seems like it’s just around the next rack of bargain bin suit jackets!

"All excellent questions," Abby says to the girl.
She calls out to the ghost(?) as she approaches, "You slime one elbow patch on a solitary tweed jacket, Dr. Hammond’s gonna give you a lecture you’ll never forget!"
Worried her taunt to the ghost might come off as offensive to her teammate, she adds, "His students don’t!" Not that she actually knows whether or not his students remember his lectures, or whether he’s one of those lecture hall professors like in the movies, where three hundred students stand up and clap at the end of class. Abby never even went to college.

"That's right! I've got detention slips and I'm not afraid to use them!" He didn't of course, college students didn't get detention, but that was irrelevant to the distraction. "We've already caught one of your friends so you should just come alone quietly." He nods with his head to the girl having a panic attack in a gesture that says 'get her out of here.'

"C'mon," Jasper says to the freaked-out teen, "let's move out of here. Don't worry about the goo all over me, that won't happen to you if you leave now. Let's get you out of the store, ok?" He uses a matter-of-fact voice, hoping the kid will get a grip if she hears firm "parental" tones.

Seeing that Jasper is dealing with the girl while Abby and Niles distract the specter, he starts gesturing with his hands, trying to signal to AJ. But then he realizes he doesn't know real hand signals and instead whispers "What do you think? Try to circle around behind it and then zap it?"

"Great plan! Lets get it from behind"
AJ follows Curtis as she grabs tightly her weapon
"I feel this one is going to be ugly.."
