fandomhigh | Hunting 101 - Class 2 (Tuesday period 5)

When students entered the Danger Shop they found themselves standing outside a large slightly rundown house. John was waiting for them, leaning comfortably against the side of an old impala. Beside him was a table, with the sign in sheet as well as another list of names paired up. It was also piled high with knapsacks.

"Welcome to our first practical class," John greeted them with a smile. "This is where we find out how well you apply what you've learned so far. Behind me is Elrod Manor. It's haunted by the ghost of a woman who was named Cassandra Elrod. She was killed by her husband Mark Elrod, who happened to be a serial killer. The legend goes that she found some rather grisly evidence of his activities and to keep her quiet he killed her and hid her body in the house.

"Since then her ghost has been seen countless times by many different people. They describe a very beautiful but sad woman who has appeared throughout the house but always disappeared at the end of the hallway on the second floor. There's also been an unusual number of accidents resulting in injury or death have occurred here. All of the victims have been married men. Those that have survived the attack describe a woman with features more horrific than beautiful."

He looked around at his students. "You're assignment is to lay her ghost to rest. Each of you will get one of this knapsacks that have everything in them that you should need to accomplish that. You'll work in pairs and each pair will go into the house in turn. As none of you are, to the best of my knowledge, married men, you should be relatively safe unless you antagonise her. My advice?" He smiled slightly. "Don't."

"Please pick up a knapsack and check the list to see who you are paired with and we'll get started."

When the students look inside the knapsacks they will find a flashlight, an EMF meter, an Infrared Thermal Scanner, a container of salt, lighter fluid and matches.

The list of pairings is as follows:

Buffy Summers, Yurika Dōjima
Blysse Norwood, Lion-o
Helen Haras-Uquara, Hannibal King
Jack Burton, Johnny Storm
Lois Lane, Michael Guerin
Momoko Akatsutsumi, Romeo Montague
Wendy Watson, Anja Creed

When everyone had got their equipment and found their assigned partners. John grinned at them wolfishly. "So, who's first?"

[ooc: ~~wait for~~ ocd's are up. Have at it!]

"At least we look good while getting chased by axe-wielding homicidal ghosts?" Dōjima suggested, looking at her own impractical shoes. "Wait, she only kills boys, we'll be fine. I bet half the reason she's so cranky is they never call her after the second date."

She swung the EMF meter back towards the end of the hallway to check the reading. "You have got to be kidding," Dōjima complained. "Why couldn't she just be in the foyer?"

"I think she's punishing us for the shoes. Flats next week," Buffy said, starting down the hall.

"If you can run in heels, you can run in anything," Dōjima pointed out as she followed Buffy, pausing by each door to peek in the rooms. "Really, we're just training for emergencies. You can't always plan when ghosts or demons or whatever are going to pop up."

In the shadows down the hallway a figure appeared.

"Oh, look, there's one," Buffy said, nodding towards the figure. "Nice timing."

Someday she's learn not to quip at the undead.

Okay, no, no she wouldn't.

Dōjima blinked at the new arrival. "Really good timing," she agreed. "So, now what? Ask her for directions? Offer to...you know?"

"Works," Buffy shrugged, and called down the hall, "Hi! How'd you like to be put out of your misery?"

The figure looked at them for a moment then turned and walked to the end of the hallway -- where she vanished.

"I'm going to take that as agreement since she didn't start wielding an axe," Dōjima proclaimed, heading towards where the ghost had vanished.

"I think that's a good call," said Buffy, sliding one strap of the backpack off her shoulder for easier reach as she walked along.

The EMF meter went even crazier when they reached the end of the hallway; if they looked up they would see a trap door in the ceiling.

Dōjima pointed the EMF meter directly at the trap door and rolled her eyes as it continued to go bonkers. "That's it, she's jealous of the shoes," she groused. "After you?"
