"Heheheh. Now you're my boo-wsy." you whisper.

The apartment manager doesn't respond.

Ruuude.

+1 stylish computer.

>how well versed are you in human technology?

Better with computers. Still figuring out phones! You can manipulate computers enough to do some basic things and make computers glitch, but you're not on a deep hacker level.

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.

Knowing this, you possess the apartment manager's chair and lightly tip them over onto the floor, sparing him of severe back pain!

>SnooPING AS usual, eh?

Heheheheheh.

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

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?

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

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.

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

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.

Sweet dreams, guy.

>Try typing in 43344

Hmm. Nope.

>80085

Heheh. Nope.

>80000

Aww, that one doesn't work either.

>12345

Boo! You thought that one would work for sure. Is it the capitals on the stickynote that matter? Or the numbers too? Maybe both...

Up4ndUndrrEversthEw4yy4
I think U is 2, because two is pronounced with a sort of u sound. E is 3, and 4 is 4. So the code is 2423344.

No, that contract is NOT boring! It says if someone lies on their application, they forfeit their LIFE! What the FUCK

WE HEBBEN EN SERIOUS PROBLEEM

>>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
>>1131434

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

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.

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.

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 :).

>>1131646
>>1131647

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.

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?

>>1131697
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).

>>1131701
>>1131712

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.
