[in the immortal words of one Linus Van Pelt, Halloween has come and gone. as such, Ray is more than a little bit saddened by this; it was his favorite holiday after all, the one night of the year where it's justifiable to run around dressed like an idiot and eat mountains of candy - things he would have been doing if

[action; park; itp i am a horrible person]

[riastrad_ridire]

[Just because you don't see someone doesn't mean they aren't there. You should know that by now. Geez.]

[In other news, there is a notably startled person in civilian clothes and silver earrings suddenly behind you, Ray. Kind of like he just materialized out of nowhere. But gosh, that'd be silly, wouldn't it?]

What the hell--?!

[pkeccentric]

[OHMYGODWHATISTHAT]

W-Waah! [...it's much less loud than it seems, really. but for what it's worth, he does jump a little.] What are you doing? Sneaking up on a person like that!

[he huffs, looking very displeased! the end Neutrona Wand is still smoking. shudder in fear, Lancer.]

[riastrad_ridire]

What am I doing?! The hell're you doing, blowing shit up with that whatever-the-hell it i--Don't point that thing at me!

[pkeccentric]

[that's some good shuddering, but it could be better. he gestures with the Wand uncomfortably close to Lander, waving it at the smoking hunk of metal for emphasis.]

Aw, it's just a dumpster. There's a million others out there; I doubt anyone will miss this one. [FROWN] But still, you shouldn't do that. It's dangerous to startle a professional.

In the Park

[ooeeooahah]

[ The way he was looking for observers made her avoid being seen, and when he unleashed that bolt of energy on the dumpster made her wish she was invisible. ]

[ The reflex was to shield herself, and freeze. ]

[pkeccentric]

[he considers this experiment a success. patting the Neutrona Wand fondly, he looks up to notice a familiar figure across the street.]

Hi, Ilsa! [he waves!]

[ooeeooahah]

[ Waving very nervously, and hoping she isn't obvious in her assessment of the local cover. ]

Hey, y'all have some interesting... tools there. Mail call?

[pkeccentric]

Sure did! Egon and Pete got theirs back, too!

[Phone]

[sosghosts]

We're back, Ray. And we're packing heat.

[Phone]

[pkeccentric]

[please excuse him while he holds the phone away from his face momentarily to shout out a WAHOO!. much thanks for your patience.]

- Best news I've heard all month! The Mayfield Ghostbusters are ready and waiting!

[Phone]

[sosghosts]

Does this mean celebrations are in order?

[pkeccentric]

Your idea of celebrating usually involves copious amounts of alcohol. I'm not sure if I can stand coming home hungover again, man.

tagging might be slow, forgive me! but I have to tag this

[forever_cheery]

[SUDDENLY! LASER BEAMS OUT OF NOWHERE OR SOMETHING! DEBRIS EVERYWHERE! Aurora yelps in fright as the stream crosses in front of her, demolishing the dumpster. She gets hit by some of the flying trash, and stands there with her arms over her head.]

Wh-Wh-What was THAT?!

[pkeccentric]

[OH GOD RUN IT'S THE COPS - no, wait. just some girl. a girl who looks very, very frightened but unhurt. all the same, Ray still rushes over.]

Ohjeezeohjeezeohjeeze - A-Are you okay? I didn't hurt you, did I?

[forever_cheery]

Yes? I'm okay, I-I think? What WAS that? Did you do that?

[pkeccentric]

Oh, um... [looks back over at the ruined dumpster, redness creeping over his cheeks.] ...Yeeeeah. I was just testing some equipment out to see if it still worked. You can never be too careful with these things.

Um. Sorry.

[Action: Park]

[Sarah Jane is accustomed to strange sights, but that doesn't mean sudden lightshows can't still take her by surprise]

That's... quite the device you have there.

[pkeccentric]

[naturally, Ray is startled by her voice considering he was under the impression that he was alone out here. he turns around, lowering the still-smoking Neutrona Wand.]

Thanks...! A friend and I designed it. Never thought I'd see it here. [but you won't see him complaining.]

[after_thesky]

It's amazing the things the town returns. What does it do, exactly?

[pkeccentric]

It channels positively charged protons into a stream, which helps dissipate psychokinetic energy that ghosts and other entities use to manifest themselves. [he says this totally frankly and casually like it's the most normal thing.] You can imagine how useful it'll be here! Now we won't be caught by surprise when the town tries to pull something funny on us again.
