some weedy japanese kid with a bowl cut visited saying he had psychic powers or some poo poo and wanted us to train him to fight ghosts too. told him to buzz off, no way that guy could be any use



Developments on this front. After comping peter for plane tickets and free lunch we finally got him to sit down and do some tests. Bad news, the kid's a dud. Total normie, not a psychic bone to be found in his entire body. Good news is this chick's a ten. Didn't miss a single card on the shock test. Really impressive stuff. Unfortunately she's underage and since its 1984 that means that child labor laws won't be severely relaxed in the united states of america for at least another 39 years- we can't use her either.

Look fellas, if we bill for “astronaut ghost” and a separate line item for “half a farmer ghost” what are the bean counters going to have to complain about?!



"Typically I'd view it as pertinent to try and reason with you regarding the economically viability of running a business where we spend every other weekend trying to legally dispose of between one half and two thirds of a human corpse but given the circumstances I think it's probably critical that we instead discuss the emerging problem that for every new employee this dimensional-confluence brings us we find ourselves legally obligated to pay another salary at the end of the month."

Having reviewed your credentials you say you mostly just 'talk' to the ghosts? And that sometimes they keep you up late at night as reprisal for not getting involved in their weird rear end white people ghost romances? That sometimes these spirits even jump fully into your body and make use of you like a human puppet?

To be honest it kinda sounds like you should be paying us.

Listen, sometimes it helps to listen to those spirits. Especially when it involves murders where the victim's money has been transferred to Rita Miller.

Honestly I can't even afford to scrutinize this, literally. Plus we let the hippy kids on the payroll and then we let the pornstar impersonators of the hippy kids on the payroll. Welcome to the team!




Oda Mae Brown is now going around using her powers to try and locate ghosts for us! If we're lucky she can even talk a few of them into peacefully vacating their haunts.

I saw this the other day and it looked familiar but I couldn't quite place it, I looked at it again today and realized it's the Eric Andre show font thing they do between some segments and the little jingle they play when that comes up popped into my head.
That reminded me there's a new season coming out next month, should be funny. That doesn't really have anything to do with ghosts or the busting of said ghosts I guess, but whatever, I like that show.

If Jennifer Love Hewitt is the "Ghost Whisperer", Bill Murray aka Peter Venkman is probably the "Ghost Hollerer" just going around yellin' and hollerin' at ghosts.

:yeah:

Edit- I actually did a half-baked job recreating that font and effect because the alternative would have been an extra ten minutes chopping it out of the actual meme. Because the room is so dark though you can barely tell!

So if we need to test the equipment, can we just kill who ever is voted the most useless of the team, make sure they have unfinished business, I don't know leave the oven on at their home or something, and then try busting their ghost as soon as we kill them to see if it works in getting their ghost?

The would be the simplest way to test the equipment with the least amount of variables that can go wrong!

Current consensus is that our least valuable member is Scooby but our hands are bound here on the corollary that all dogs go to heaven.

Wait if we know scooby is going to heaven can't we just get him to tell god to get rid of the ghost? It's like we have one free message to god!

Plus then we get rid of the the ghost and scooby! Like there's just pluses here!

Might need to get rid of scrappy doo too. Seems like the type to vow vengeance or what not.

I think you've stumbled onto exactly why we can't send Scooby to god and ask them to remove the ghost. Specifically, Scrappy doo. I have no idea where that little fucker is at and with all the dimensional bullshit going on I have to just hope to high heaven he doesn't end up wrapped up in this bullshit somehow. We can't risk upsetting God's plan and ending up with some pharaoh's curse bullshit happening up in here. As they say, the lord giveth a ghost, the lord taketh away your scrappy doo problem.

If Ghostbusters 2 has taught us anything it's that all those purple clothes are definitely evil ghost juice.

So by Ghost specialist I'm pretty sure they mean she's an evil ghost and they're just being polite

A tense elevator ride can seem like it takes days.




But our crew make it to the floor where the ghost was least seen. "It's never been this bad before." The manager had said.

Fred and Sorta-Daphne agree to take up the front with the cartoon dog. We've already ruled that Scooby can't actually become a ghost and so he's been ruled an asset for making first contact with the enemy. He might be annihilated by the ghost's mighty powers and have the life crushed out of him in an instant, but at least he won't rise again in the ranks of the enemy.



"So. We definitely think the hotel manager is behind this right? He's trying to scare away patrons on this floor until he can find out which painting has the hidden map to the old miller's gold mine... right?"

"'Fraid not Freddy. This is a genuine apparition. Measured as a four and a quarter on the poltz scale. We're gonna need your eyes if we're gonna put a proton beam on this bad boy and get him in the trap."

The team hungers. They had spent the last of their petty cash on chinese food the night prior. It had been over a week since the scooby gang had been able to groove at a malt shop. The stakes couldn't be higher.

Okay, is there anything expensive we can nick, cos hey, they may catch the ghost, they may not, either way were still going to have to eat at some stage.

Also if there is a kitchen about may want to check for the ghost in there first...

Weirdly the kitchen for the hotel is small. Like, super small. Barely big enough for one person and it looks like it should be in a new york apartment somewhere not a new york hotel. Exactly how a tiny kitchen like this serves the massive banquet hall next door sounds like a perfect mystery for team lazy stoner!



The hotel has a policy that nobody in an exterminator's outfit is allowed in the kitchen so peter has to change. Actual Shaggy is being weirdly handsy with sigourney weaver but that might just be because he found a quarter.

"I don't know what it is but like, since I joined this gang, I've been seeing the entire world with like new eyes man. I don't really know how, but somehow I feel like you have to be the key."

"What's that?"

Any Ghost Buster is a Ghost Buster we can use! This crack team had better stay in low light conditions though lest they get their 480p vhs rip all over our 2002 cgi cartoon dog.
