Hunting 101 - Class 2 (Wed period 7)

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

When students enter the Danger Shop they find 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:

Sam Winchester, Will Vandom
Alec, Alanna Trebond
Belthazor, Dawn Summers
Pip Bernadette, Peter Pevensie
Seely Booth, Peter Parker
Bridge Carson, Conner McKnight
John Crichton, Charlie Kawalsky
Walter Dornez, Phoebe Halliwell
Jim Ellison, Pete Hutter
Dean Forrester, Hermione Granger

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

[ooc: wait for ocd is up! Go for it. If there is anyone who would actually fall under the category of "married man" please let me know so the ghost can react appropriately ;)

ETA: feel free once you've hooked up with your partner to just go into the house. We're handwaving the taking turns. Also forgot to put a flashlight amongst the equipment originally -- am adding it now.]

Alanna Trebond.

First floor

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

Living room, library, kitchen, dining room. What furniture is in the rooms is old and covered in dust cloths.

Alec looked around the first room as they stepped inside, not at all worried. "Heeere, ghost-lady."

Re: First floor

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John goes in first, Kawalsky behind him. "Smells like my grandma's house."

Phoebe looked carefully around as they entered the house. She wasn't too worried. After all, they had bound and laid to rest killed the fear demon that was causing ghosts to attack a lot of the students over the summer.

Bridge steps inside and looks around.

"I wonder if my powers'll still work, since this is a simulation," he says thoughtfully. "I mean, holographic energy is still energy, right?"

Pip stepped in and surveyed the area. "How bad is it that I really wish I had a gun right now, as useless as it would be?"

Second Floor

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

Bedroom all off one long hallway.

Re: Second Floor

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

Kawalsky took the lead up the stairs, treading softly and taking care not to walk straight out into the hallway where he'd be an easy target.

Re: Second Floor

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec and Alanna walked up the stairs to the second floor, Alec going first again and looking about slowly. "She's supposed to turn up somewhere around here."

Re: Second Floor

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe was being very cautious as she walked down the hall. She knew better than to walk right down the center.

Re: Second Floor

EMF meter in hand, Conner takes the lead up the stairs. He might not have any actual training in stealth and special entries the way Bridge does, but . . . he's had to spend years trying to avoid getting ambushed by his brother the wannabe ninja. He's hugging the wall pretty carefully as he gets to the top of the stairwell, where he pauses and asks over his shoulder, "Picking anything else up, dude?"

Re: Second Floor

Peter climbs the stairs carefully, listening for anything out of the ordinary. The EMF reader continued to light up a bit, assuring him that he was headed in the right direction at least.

Re: Second Floor

[deanforrester.livejournal.com]

Dean started straight up to the second floor, figuring they should check out the end of the hallway before wasting time with the rooms on the ground floor.

Attic

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

Where atticy things live.

Re: Attic

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John slowly steps into the attic, looking around and trying to be quiet.

Re: Attic

[demonbelthazor]

Bel and Dawn decided to start in the attic. And so they do.

Re: Attic

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Climbing the ladder, Alec poked his head up into the musty, dark place. "So, let's see what's behind door #3."

Re: Attic

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter stepped into the attack, keeping his eyes wide open, not entirely sure what to expect.

Re: Attic

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe led the way into the attic with the flashlight and the EMF meter.

Talk amongst yourselves

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

While you wait your turn or after you're done.

Re: Talk amongst yourselves

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

While waiting for her turn, Alanna turned her bag upside down. An annoyed black cat fell out. "Stay."

Talk to John

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

Questions? Concerns?

Re: Talk to John

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Excuse me, sir? Something I wanted to ask you last class."

OOC

[demons-death.livejournal.com]

To show I'm done!
