I wasn't referring to the skeleton hand, I was talking about the human that we've been observing. The one who has a room full of pictures.

Hehe that's the goal.

>Huh, seems we can't hear or understand Mapa

WEIRD. You can understand Mapa just fine. They've only been asking about your assignment, nothing too big just yet.

>1) Why are hauntings so important that they have supervisors and assignments?

Mapa said it's important for ghostly enrichment to have haunts. A bored ghost is a tragic ghost! Also something about birthing two eggs at once by keeping people safe. Something something.

>2) Do all ghosts manifest by default in the Egyptian Medjed shape (bell-shaped, sheet-covered entity with eyes and legs) like you do, or is that a matter of personal preference, experience or heirarchy?

Egyptian Medjed sounds awesome... Nah, this is your ghostly uniform of course. It's important to wear it to keep everyone on an equal playing field. Mapa didn't raise a cheater.

>3) Is ectoplasm a thing?

If you spit, cry, or get juiced you'll make ectoplasm!

>what happens if you do your job a little too well (death by fright or accident), is that a failed assignment or a success?

A failure!! No ones supposed to die! Like you said before, everyone tries to avoid those because then you get another suuuper angry ghost and that's when a fight can start. There's nothing more frightening than another ghost attacking you. Well, cats are number one actually.

Hm. He hasn't done anything real bad though?

"He doesn't react to the normal scary stuff! Is that the young people mayonnaise?"

Mapa chuckles at you. You don't know what you said that was funny but it makes you feel good.

"Hmm, he also looks out the window weirdly! Like, like, he's looking at something!"

" "

"Oh, that's what windows are normally for?" Boo thinks hard. "He's not just looking out the window... He's looking at someone important to him! A guy with glasses. He has pictures of the glasses guy too. Lots of 'em. That means he's someone important, right?"

There's a long pause.

" "

Mapa seems to agree.

" "

"Oh, I shouldn't worry about it? Okay. Yay!"

Mapa's other hand crawls out of the door, presenting you with a shard from a mirror. Ah, you know this. This is one of Mapa's tests.

Do you accept Mapa's assistance?

Heck yeah gimme the test, test is best.

yes, probably fun right?

Sure, accept, and I have to apologize for accidentally implying that you, Mapa, are untrustworthy. You are cool, I was speaking about the human.

We will do the test but only if we get to give one to Mapa as well.

Mapa sizzles in anticipation.

"I get to give you a test too. Boo style."

They stay silent, taking your proposal quite seriously, their limbs roiling along the space of the cracked open door. You do wonder how big Mapa is, since you've never seen them come out of the storage closet. Hmm it must be cramped in there!

Mapa eventually gives you a thumbs. Yessss.

You accept the MIRROR SHARD. A hand-sized piece from an old tenant's bathroom mirror.

For a moment, you inspect your warped and handsomely beautiful reflection as you rotate it in the air.

For the test, Mapa asks you if you know what it does. Pshhhh. Of course you know.

It can.....

Show a human's fears to a ghost. They'll appear in the reflection as sort of illusions. The more abstract fears can be hard to figure out though.

It lets us spy on things that happen outside the building! That way we can do more digging on how to effectively haunt him without leaving the apartment complex. Cuz we can’t.

It lets you see behind corners and look at yourself!

But also, it shows a persons surface thoughts as Edgar Alan Poe-style writing.

>>1130103
Well, that raises a few more questions.

A) How on Earth does a ghost get 'juiced'?
B) Why are cats the scariest thing to ghosts?

>>1130146
Creates a temporary copy of yourself, allowing you to pull off more elaborate hauntings that would need more than one ghost effect active.

For example, the copy could knock ominously on a door in another room while you're busy whispering in someones ear.

>>1130146
It lets you glimpse into an 'opposite' dimension - its like our current world, but things are opposite in some way - e.g. a coin being flipped shows it landing on the other side, a cat looks like a dog, etc.

>>1130146
Shows a brief glimpse into a possible future of - usually one minute ahead. This future can be altered if you or other supernatural events intervene.

Got a potential haunt tactic! What makes many people scared is the thought of a stranger being present in a place they assume safe from intrusion. Knock on doors or make footsteps when our target is alone, from rooms that they assume to be empty (e.g. a bathroom).

Tapping peoples shoulder when they're completely alone is also a good way to unnerve them.

If you put it under the pillow of a sleeping human, it gives you the ability to enter the mind of that sleeping person.

That piece of mirror you can attach to any mirror gives you the ability to make illusions appear in the attached mirror. But the only people who can see the illusions are really tired ones.

The mirror shard lets you see the most handsome and spookiest ghost in the room. :3

Sometimes during ghost fights there's some juicing... Or if you get captured by ghost hunters, then they'll turn you into juice and sell you at the grocery store. Real scary stuff.

They're creepy! Not only can they see you and knock you around, they clearly have malicious intent... Just thinking about one spotting you makes you shiver. You don't understand how living people keep them around.

MIRROR SHARD officially acquired. Though you'll have to wait until the end of the day to use it. Or maybe you'll get lucky and find someone napping.

Now, it's time to really squeeze your brain. Since you've passed the test, you've got to dish one out too.

What's a good test for Mapa? A knowledge test? A skill test? A creepy spooky scare test?

A creepy spooky scare test, have to stay on brand. As for their test, let us see their spooky powers. What they can do, if they can scare people, how do they do it, and other spooky, ajesent demonstrations, and we will score them on their thenick, creativity, and ingenuity.

>Knowledge Test

You ask Mapa for a knowledge test! Name every ghost and their job/hierarchy!

Mapa proceeds to give you a run down of every known ghost variety in the region. All of them are ghosts, but not every ghost is the same. Like squares and cubes.

Poltergeists (That's you!) - An all-rounder in terms of capabilities. Usually, poltergeists have telekinetic powers and are generally incorporeal unless you try really hard. A good ghost. Best for standard haunts.

Phantoms - They're ghosts that think they're still human. Or ghosts in denial if you want to be ruude. Generally, they're super angsty and love to sing. Not much in terms of power, but they're real good at being mistaken as living people. Not that good for haunts.

Wraiths - They have the same powers as poltergeists but on drugs. They also feed on negative emotions and they're pretty territorial. Mapa doesn't like them much. Best for solo-haunt-spaces of intermediate to advanced levels.

Hungry Ghosts - They're hungry and they'll eat anything. Not great for planned haunts. Good for potluck parties.

Vengeances - Very powerful ghosts. Also, super angry. Very mean, very bad. Mapa's told you to stay away from them. Easily the scariest ones. Legendary haunt capabilities for all haunt levels.

Shades - They're more like shards of souls. Kinda just there. They don't respond much to anything. Bad for haunts.

Headless Ghosts - These ghosts are awesome! Looks cool, has steeds sometimes, great messengers. The ghost mailmen. Retired haunters, but awesome for all haunts if you can convince them.

Screamers - One trick ponies. Great for chasing people and loud noises. Good for all haunt levels (in teams).

No surprise Mapa is so knowledge! You also ask Mapa what kind of ghost they are. They say they're like an advanced version of you. Because they're so strong, they can be everyone's Caretaker, which is a special ghost role.

Hmmm.....

"Who's on the cover of this months 'supernatural supermodels' magazine?" You ask as a tricky question.

You take your time evaluating all of Mapa's answer, feeling the silence so they can get a sweat in.

With a drum roll, you announce, "Boo-plus! You passed!"

Mapa seems to be laugh and the door rattles with them.

"Sooo, what do you want as a reward, Mapa?"

See if you can find any files on your roommate/victim/target.

Try to possess the chair in order to make the person fall. Sleeping on a table is not good for your back. We are professionals, our hunting is meant to bring excitement to the lives of humans, and if we can stop somebody from getting harmed, that is a plus.

Humans are terrified of things going wrong or spooky with their technology. Make the computer screen show something like 'All drives successfully formatted. The computer will reset automatically, followed by jumpscare and returning to normal.'

Does the keyboard they've planted their head on count as a 'pillow'? Could put the mirror shard under it and give that noggin' a peek.

Subtly rearrange some of the smaller furniture/decorative items from where they should be Just enough to make them doubt their memory. And lock the door from the inside (but leave a key so they can exit) so they can't use the 'oh I got pranked by coworkers' excuse.

>>1131369
I think making them fall out of their chair and potentially bonk their head against something is the definition of doing harm.

I guess good time to ask, how well versed are you in human technology? Can you operate a computer, smartphone or such as a person who uses them every day would, or is your knowledge/interaction ability limited there?

Depending on such, checking their phone (if available) and seeing their contacts list (names) and numbers would give you a lot of info, and allow for shenanigans by calling them from another phone.

Ghostie, what other people/entities do you know personally / consider a friend in the vicinity?

In case there's someone we haven't met yet that could be useful to talk to later.

Both are compelling arguments! You worry about the fragility of humans and potential injuries. While injuries can be expected during certain haunting activities, it would be best to avoid them out of politeness.

Mister Depressed should still be in Miss Syven's apartment. You would also consider Miss Mouse a friend.

That reminds you of the plan! Miss Syven will be coming back home soon to help interrogate your target and figure out his deal. While she distracts him, you'll be working out how to get into his phone and uncover all his dastardly secrets. Or just how to use it. Then, scare planning and haunting etiquette.

You can almost taste sweet victory.

>See if you can find any files on your roommate/victim/target.

Since the desk is where all the business happens, you look over and find some areas of interest.

There's one folder titled: Completed Forms.

When you turn the computer on, you see a log-in screen prompting a 5-digit-numeric password.

There's also a sticky-note on the computer that says: Up4ndUndrrEversthEw4yy4.

Whatever that means!

Which one to inspect first?

The forms might have some good info wait

does that guy have horns and a tail? Is that usual?

Up4ndUndrrEversthEw4yy4

Ooooh oooh oooh!

4 E E 4 4

E is like 3

try typing in 43344!

The apartment manager appears to be a demon, devil, imp, or some other entity with a spade tail and horns.

Is that normal / accepted / known by the tenants (and ghosts), or something that needs reporting to your boss (in case they're capable of doing soul-contracts and such)?

Ask the MACHINE SPIRIT inhabiting the device to grant you access.

Check their keyboard for any keys that seem to be pressed extremely often, that could help tell which keys are used for the password.

Yoink the managers wallet for more info (ID and such) then put it in their hat.

And don't worry, it's not a crime, its part of your job: people are terrified of losing their wallet. Add a boo message in it as well.

The password is obvious: 80000. Or BOOOO!

Or if the manager is a literal horny devil, 80085.

Note to self: When you crack the password, change the password afterwards to 80000 (boooo). Add a sticky note ('Password: BOOOO!')

Check if that tail is real and not some elaborate costume, same goes for the horns.

Oh, just realized their tail is not spade but bushy. Could be something other than a typical demon then. An Oni? Troll? What species have a long, lion-like tail and short twin horns?

>>1131448
Rather than yanking the tail (which could lead to harm/waking or some scandalous information), might just be easier to see if the tail is alive (i.e. swishes in his sleep, reacts to minor touches or develops goosebumps from a cold breath).

I find it a little concerning that this individual manages to sleep even while falling on the floor. Maybe find a pillow and push it underneath his head, as for the password, use the good old and reliable 12345.

>>1131452
Some people have 'sleep anywhere' as a superpower. Usually those in the army. And anyone not drinking coffee but forced to do long shifts at the long shift factory.

Whats that billboard-like thing behind the desk / above the printer? Accolades/diplomas, a schedule, or...?

Also, mess with the printer. Have it print out Boo. Or yourself (can you photocopy yourself)?

How malleable are you as a ghost? Can you change your basic form/shape (e.g. becoming two-dimensional and origami-ing yourself)? How does passing/intersecting through objects, walls or creatures work/feel? Anything that blocks that ability or otherwise acts like a obstacle for you?

You blow a gust of cold air towards him to check for any elaborate costumes. His tail reacts, batting around then going back to resting.

Egads! The tail is real. You're not sure what to make of that. Also, on closer inspection, his horns indeed look attached to his scalp.

>does that guy have horns and a tail? Is that usual?

Hmmm... If he has them, then that doesn't mean it's unusual, right? All living people have their quirks. Some have beautiful hair and some like to sleep on the floor.

>Is that normal / accepted / known by the tenants (and ghosts), or something that needs reporting to your boss (in case they're capable of doing soul-contracts and such)?

Well, his appearance doesn't shock you at all, that's for sure! He's always looked like this. His job is to manage the tenants and lease contracts, so maybe they are soul-binding? Buuut unlike Miss Syven, he doesn't acknowledge your presence or the presence of any other ghost whenever you've been around.

Ah, must be a Mapa thing.

You search the apartment manager's pockets and find a money clip with some green bills. No cards or a phone. This is a guy that means business! You do hide it in the hat of course.

>Whats that billboard-like thing behind the desk / above the printer?

A map of the apartment complex! Just the first level. There's three total. Currently, you're on the first level and the rest are underground.

>>1131634

You can stretch and zing and do all sorts of things! Technically, your limit is your imagination, it's only when you turn corporeal that you start to get real tired. Passing through things is no problem, including people, but they tend to feel really cold when you do.

Salt lines can prevent you from crossing stuff, but most tenants don't do that.

>Maybe find a pillow and push it underneath his head

You go through a few of the drawers until you find a conveniently stored pillow. With a careful lift, you put it under his head.

>>1131646
Maybe this is where the ghosts are coming from? Maybe not how you specifically died, bit like, a common source of ghostliness?

>>1131646
Another interesting detail is about the Manager (Mapa?) only accepting non-direct payments 'for the safety of the Manager'.

So either Mapa is very sensitive/vulnerable to mortals, had bad experiences, or cannot be revealed at all lest something bad happens to them (e.g. if they're harmed by light).

Or the statement is a lie and more for so that Mapa isn't forced to do something horrible to anyone who directly visits them.

>>1131643

Looks like the password is limited to five characters, presumably is only numbers, and that 2, 3, 4 are often used.

How does it feel to sit on the chair. Does it make you feel powerful, employed or dominant. To me you just look cute, if you can rotate the chair just for the fun of it.

>>1131645
Seems like a good guess, though the password seems to have five characters in the art (unless the full password character limit isn't fully shown).

To confirm/limit things, does the password accept letters, or just numbers? And whats the character limit?

>>1131651

>>1131644
What kind of apartment complex has one level thats above ground and two levels underground? That would imply that either the complex needs two seperate basement levels, or that a portion of the residents are perfectly ok with living underground with no natural light (vampires? ghosts?).

I'm also curious why Management even needs money under such strict/deadly restrictions, other than to pay for the complex itself to whatever government/force-that-be makes them do so.

Side question: If a haunting target comes across mortal danger by external forces during a haunting (e.g. a monster attack, falling chandelier, or being unable to pay rent as per that contract), are you obligated or required to rescue them so that you don't fail your haunting assignment?

Now that the sleeping guy has a PILLOW, we can test out the glass shard! That could get us the password, or other info about Johan Jones.

You feel... Spinful! With a telekinetic push, you spin around in the chair.

Heheheheh. This is what being in charge is all about.

Aw, looks like that's too many numbers. 5 numbers seem to be the limit.

You try 24233 and 23344.

Drat! Neither codes work. You have a ghostly intuition that you were on the right track. Maybe you were off by a number somewhere?

But the computer locked itself from too many attempts. You can try again in five minutes.

>If a haunting target comes across mortal danger by external forces during a haunting (e.g. a monster attack, falling chandelier, or being unable to pay rent as per that contract), are you obligated or required to rescue them so that you don't fail your haunting assignment?

Well, yes! It wouldn't be a good haunt if your target died suddenly, so you are obligated to help them if a situation comes up. It's all a part of good haunting etiquette.

Of course, stuff can happen outside your control. So, as long as you don't see it happen, it's not your fault :).

Oooo.. That does look like a problem. A serious source of ghostliness problem.

However, in all your years here, you've never seen the apartment manager kill anyone! And violent murders don't happen that often. Sometimes, people just get heart attacks, like that old couple Miss Syven mentioned.

Maybe it's just another scare tactic they use? Since lying is bad.

YESSS.

You can just get all the answers to your questions from the source. You're sure the apartment manager will have a very reasonable explanation for everything.

And maybe you can get to know each other better. Have some light refreshments every now and then.

Boo-skadoooo!

In a blink, you appear within the depths of the apartment manager's mind. You stand at what looks like a hallway that opens into a sandy beach. The sun is high in the sky and there are gentle waves that hit the sand.

Looks like the apartment manager is sunbathing.

Hmmm... What to do first?

dress for the beach. Don a big sun hat.

you could bring him a cool drink as an opener.

its a dream you should be able to summon whatever right?

SPOOK EM

Spooks first, to assert you’re a ghost! But then hospitality, to assert you mean no harm and just wanna ask some questions~

Pretend to be a beach blanket and blend in with the surroundings to get closer and hear what is happening.

Inspect the HANDSOME HUNK POSTER near you.

>>1131697

Are you still 'invisible' inside of someone's mind, or can they now actually see and properly interact with you? Might want to go incognito (act like a beach enjoyer, tourist, beach prop or one of those people who serve fancy drinks to rich people at beaches).

If we spook/scare them too much, they'll be startled awake and we'll get ejected! We also don't know if they can manually eject us via lucid dreaming or such.

Looks like they're having a dream about being royal, rich or otherwise luxuriously pampered instead of working a day job (relatable). We can work with this if we play along!

Pretend to be a personal butler/servant, someone who needs their password/code authorization, or the code signed on a document so they can finalize an order for something ridiculously luxurious, expensive or enjoyable. Getting them 'drunk' might also help.

"Monsieur, we have ordered the champagnie fountain, super-yacht, solid gold statue and Japanese-style hot spring full of 'amorous masseurs' as per yesterdays request. We just need your five-digit code to finalize the purchase and they will arrive within ze hour."

If the manager starts to suspect you're not supposed to be here, you could lie that you were supposed to be a nightmare where all the data on their computer gets deleted, but that it's your first day on the job and couldn't get past their genius password. Maybe they'll pity you.

Potential disguise: Ghost Writer, seeking to write a biography of this no doubt interesting person.

If they do figure out that you are trespassing perform a drop kick on the angry individual.
