5) Sachiko continues to shoot arrows into your sign and door, complete with condemnation letters. It turns out though, that apart from one meeting with her briefly when the other three opened shop, no one's talked to the trigger-happy miko. She's locked up in her temple and people come to see her, and she's never let the GBs in.

6) Your parents still aren't talking to you, and now they're also mad that you've joined the Ghostbusters.

7) Dr. Griffin is going to be leaving in a week, satisfied that all the GB tech is up and not going to explode and unleash Hell or Widespread Destruction.

So, it's a bright new day and you can bend without wincing in pain again. What would you like to do?

>satisfied that all the GB tech is up and not going to explode and unleash Hell or Widespread Destruction.
It really sucks that all we can do is bottle up ghosts in containment units.
In no time at all we'll have yet another apocalypse bomb to sit on, because that's always what happens when the New York one gets shut down. A god forms and all holy hell is unleashed and it's a huge mess every time.

In theory there is a way we can prevent this and help the ghosts. . .though there are merits of it to be debated.

>>28163800
Some ghosts are able to move on?

But yeah, maybe if we got Sachiko on our side she could actually exorcism ghosts to the afterlife?

>>28163843
>Some ghosts are able to move on?
Very VERY few, but all the ones we keep locked up stay there.

>maybe if we got Sachiko on our side she could actually exorcism ghosts to the afterlife?
That seems overtly complicated, infeasible for the sheer bulk, on top of getting Sachiko on our side. . .

No, I was thinking manually sending them off. . .via nuclear disintegration.

Here me out, I think it is unethical for us to continually deny these lost soul(s) (because you better believe some of these powerful ghosts have eaten up others) the afterlife and keep them locked up. If we can disintegrate the negative particles and evil emotions that bind there soul to this plane. It would be in our interest and there's to put them our of their misery for good and send them off.

The dead need to die, it is unnatural and wrong for them to stay under any condition, let alone locked up in an apocalypse box.

You stay in your room and turn on the Chyme that you got from the haunted karaoke parlor. The screen turns on and a little tone plays as you see the Chyme logo come on the screen.

This thing is pretty sweet for a first generation MP3 player. It's close to the size equivalent of an 80's cell phone, but still...free MP3 player.

Although it's hard to say that it's yours. Particularly when you can see the skirt of the dead girl (whom you named Yurei) slightly sticking out from the side. She's badly hiding from you.

It also looks like she queued up Rush's Moving Pictures to be played next.

For all we know that could just destroy souls?

Plus very very expensive.

I'd say magic is definitely the way to go.

>>28163925
Well if magic is more reliable than a good old fashioned nuclear reactor (and from experience it often isn't) and would be cost effective for hundreds of thousands of souls, be my guest.

When a soul dissipates that IS sending them off to the afterlife, that's what happened to Yurei. Her soul was no longer bound to the material realm in any way, and "moved on".

>>28163920
Interesting taste in music.

Let's give it a listen.

>>28163962
...Scroll up a little?

>>28163925
>Plus very very expensive.
Not really, since we already have access to radioactive isotopes. Plus we can give the city our concerns and ask to use existing nuclear facilities.

Anyway, this is something we'll bring up later on.

>>28164011
Well, she didn't move on but you get the point.
Any soul that still is tied to this world in anyway, has not moved on.

>>28163920
Let's just chill and listen. If Yurei is in there, she'll come out.

She obviously stayed for a reason if she did.

>>28164033
Do we even know if ghosts CAN move on?

>>28163920

My goodness, we have a slimer, a suicidal bullied teenage girl slimer.

>Talk to her

>>28164107
She's hardly suicidal NOW.

It's a bit late for that.

Also I wonder if this means we won't have to charge it?

>>28164084
>Do we even know if ghosts CAN move on?
In the cartoon at least, several episodes showed them doing so. From the cowboy GB's words, he's seen a few as well.

The exceptions seem to be godlike beings. In the films and games each time Gozer was destroyed her essence was sent back to her realm. However, Ivo Shandor became a god and was destroyed by a nuclear blast (total protonic reversal), but probably because he was a human soul to begin with.

Entities can also imprint themselves onto objects before returning to the material realm, such as Vigo imprinting on the portrait. Perhaps the real Yurei did move on and imprinted her personality on the machine. Or perhaps that really is her soul and she chose to stay (for whatever unkown reason). Who knows.

The implication that ghosts can't move on, is an implication that souls can't move on. And that's a can of worms for anyone's views on the afterlife.

You shrug, pop in your earbuds and let the 80's rock wash over you. This isn't as hard as it is, Star's been playing Rush tapes in YOMI-1 as well. (You have learned that even though Akira can cause Gravity to pause, the van is Star's so Star decides what everyone hears. She's implying that it's going to be an early 'They Might Be Giants' week next.

The song ends, and another one stars up. It's some pop song from the 90s, you think that this is the voice that one of the older vocaloids is based off of, but you don't remember her name.

Yurei comes out onto the screen and starts to sing along. She's good. Gets a nice harmony with the recording as well.

"Hello Yurei." You say. "I thought you had passed on."

She starts and gives you a sheepish grin. Then she makes a little 'oops' shrug.

"Don't you want to?" You ask.

She nods.

"Well, we found and gave your body burial rights, the mean girls were busted, and...what more do you want or need?" You ask.

She opens her mouth and then tries to speak, nothing comes out. She frowns and then starts drawing letters in the air.

NO WORDS DESCRIBE. SHOW EASIER.

She draws a circle and makes a small pie chart with a small slice blue.

She points to the beginning of the slice.

DIED HERE.

Then she moves her finger around the circle, passing the small slice and stopping at a little over half-way around.

AM HERE NOW.

She points to the small slice.

CROSS-OVER ONLY HERE. MUST WAIT. UNDERSTAND?

"You only get a limited amount of time to cross over after you die, and if you miss it you have to wait until your window comes up again?" You ask.

She nods.

THINK SO. NICER GHOST TOLD ME.

"Who?"

A shrug. VISITED SONGBIRD. TALKED. LEFT. WEIRD. GHOST BUT ALIVE AT SAME TIME.

She shrugs again.

>>28164464

"I'll need to ask the others, but I can't see why not. Especially after you helped us on that bust."

In Japan, it is incredibly impolite to outright say "no". We got this, and maybe Dr. Griffin will back us up with precedent.

>>28164464
"I"m alright with it but best ask all the others and we'll have a vote."

>>28164464

>>28164603
>PKE meter goes haywire
It shouldn't, she's not a very powerful entity and her essence is even more disguised in the Cymbe.

The GBE's worked alongside slimer very well, and he was in full on entity form all the time.

>>28164646
Yeah, they did work with Slimer quite a bit. Dr. Griffin will understand.

>>28164557
"Sure,"

She looks elated.

"BUT. We're going to ask the others first. No arguing." You say. "Don't want any accidents."

She looks down and nods.

You call a meeting and explain the situation to the others. Akira's a little suspicious, but Sato and Starr are okay with it. Sana doesn't care.

"This is not the first time that there has been a ghost in the place where we all work and live with ghosts." Dr. Griffin says in her 'best' japanese. "If Yurei wishes no bad wishes upon us and wishes to stay here then we should enjoy her wishes and welcome help as wished."

"As the ancients say 'Refusing Hospitality To A Maiden Waiting For A Horse Is Asking To Get Run Over Later'...or something like that." Sato says.

"I just said wishes multiple times, did I not? UGH! Why did it have to be me that arrives here?" Dr. Griffin then lapses into english with a very heavy Bronx accent and lots of slang. You have NO idea what it means.

"So, no one has a problem with Yurei being here?" You ask.

"If she sticks to her ipod th-"

"Chyme." Star says.

"Whatever. She stays inside it, we're good. She starts floating around and doing stuff...we have a problem. That a fair deal?" Akira asks Yurei.

She nods.

"Okay. Then yeah, it's cool." Akira shrugs.

THUNK.

Sachiko just delivered another arrow into your door. Is it noon already?

"One of these days," Akira mutters. "We're gonna open our door at the wrong time and get skewered. I say we go pre-emptive!"

"Bad idea, we could get sued." Sato says.


THUNK

>>28164859
Akira's eye twitches. "So we have to wait until AFTER we get shot by an arrow, before we can burn her temple to the ground."

"Right, otherwise it's a hate crime. That's not covered by the lawyers."

"But revenge is?"

"Yup."

Akira sighs. "I'm going to see to Musashi." He walks off.

"Oh. My. God." Star says scooping up the Chyme. "You and me have so TOTALLY have to chat!" She walks off with Yurei.

"HEY! Catch." Sana throws a script at the pair of you, and Sato grabs it. "Way to go, you get to run lines with me. Come. Now."

One of these days, we should get one of those modern crossbows, and send some replies back to Sachiko.
Or complain to the National Shrine Registry about a rogue temple.

"Umm, actually Sana. I need Sato."

"You do?"

"You do?"

"Yeah, he and I were going to try and talk to Sachiko." You say. "If you like, you and I can run lines later...maybe when it's quiet?"

She blushes a little and nods. "Fine, go, try not to get an arrow in your head."

You and your old friend exit the factory, and start the walk up the long flight of stone stairs to get to Sachiko's temple.

"Dude, what is it with you and the ladies?" Sato says with a chuckle. "I mean, you got ALL the cute girls when we were kids."

"We were six! You still thought they were an evil invading alien army...and I agreed with you!" You say.

"You still got 'em." Sato says. "Now you got Sana and Starr batting eyelashes at you, a private ghost girlfriend, Nurse Reika of the massive...bandages...was also flirting with you." He pauses. "If Sachiko does the same, then we must be living in one of those harem cartoon shows. If that's the care, I'm sorry. I WILL kill you and bust you."

You laugh. You have NO plans for women, you HAD a kinda-girlfriend back in college...but seeing as how your actions got the cheating bitch expelled as well and she broke up with you via death threat...you think it's over.

You both halt at the large wooden gate and door to the miko's shrine.

"You take a lot of words to say a few things." Sato says as he knocks.

"Oh, coming from the keeper of 'The Wisdom of the Ancients.' That's rich." You say.

"As the Ancients say 'Never Be Afraid To Smash Your Old Friend's Nose With Your Fist In Friendship.' Or something like that." He says.

You roll your eyes. The two of you just stand there for a few moments...

Then a few moments more...

About three minutes of waiting.

"Something's not right." Sato says. "She's always responded or shot something at us by now."

"Maybe she's just ignoring us?" You say.

"She spends her free time shooting arrows at our sign and door." Sato says. "I doubt she's suddenly turned a corner and is being passive-aggressively mature about this.

"Cup your hands." You say. "Give me a boost."

"Why shouldn't I go?"

"You're too important to the others." You say. "If this is a trick and you get an arrow to the head, they'll be devastated. They don't know me that well."

"You WANT to be martyred?"

"Not ideally, but I didn't want to say I weigh less than you."

"Jackass. Okay." He cups his hands and you step into them and he boost you up and over the gate's door and you land on the other side.

You are not instantly filled with arrows.

That's a good thing.

Sachiko's shrine is like the rest of the Reject Zone. Kinda second hand and junky. It's obvious that there's a lot of care and work put into this place. But...eh...the materials are second-rate at best, and you can see the seams. Still it's got a small shrine/house a little courtyard, a VERY small koi pond that's empty of all life, save duckweed, and a self-made archery range.

You see something by the archery range. It's a lump of red and white. You realize that it's not a lump, it's a person. It's twitching slightly and making muted grunting noises.

You run over, and this must be the famed Sachiko. You can tell that, even from this position, that she's decidedly tall, and keeps in great shape. Her hair's in a single long braid, and she has very nice hazel eyes. Average chest and her nose is a bit upturned, not to mention the fact that she hates you.

Also, there's the fact that she's on the ground, her eyes are wide open, and her entire body seems to be twitching involuntarily. She's biting down on an arrow, lengthwise, in her mouth, and flecks of spit are flying everywhere. Her thrashing's violent enough against the ground that she has torn skin and you see little specks of blood on the dirt.

This is NOT a possession. This is a, massively violent, epileptic fit.

Her eyes lock on you and one hand briefly gestures into her house/shrine.

"What?"

"SACHIKO'S HAVING A SEIZURE!"

"WHAT?!"

"GO!"

"Right! Right!" You hear sounds of Sato taking off and (hopefully) getting cell phone reception in this place.

You run inside, shrine, nothing...kitchen...nothing...toilet...nothing...bathroom...AH! Cabinet...and pill bottles...

A small horde of different pills, epi-pens, and other medicine looks back at you. Fuck, how sick is she?

Okay okay...your emergency response training (That you know have to thank mother for forcing you to take) tells you to not move the girl but you have NO idea what she needs to stop this.

Fuck it. You grab em all and run outside. Her twitching is still pretty bad.

Oh no, we're not letting that slide so easily.

We're going to help her alright, we're not monsters. But she won't escape consequences of her actions later on.

>>28167244
She makes a grab at the epi-pen. But can't reach it.

Thankfully, these things have instructions, and she has a bare shoulder. You take out the epi-pen, ready it, and jab her shoulder. She makes a sound of pain. Heh. Maybe you did that a BIT too hard.

Either way, the medicine has a reaction already and you see her twitching slow. You also see a bee stuck in her shoulder, the stinger still embedded in her flesh, and the insect is still alive, but stuck and wriggling.

She spits out the arrow.

"Thank you." She says. "Mention this...kill you..." She keeps her eyes open and focuses on keeping her breathing steady. "Fuck." She says through gritted teeth. "Knew it...just...knew it. Bad hope brings...bad luck."

She grabs your hand with hers, just for something she can squeeze. "You idiots...hurting area."

"Well...we're not extorting them!" You say. Not sure where that came from, but it was there.

"Wasn't...Bribes for...police and...others. You think...Rejects...protected?" She rolls her eyes. "Pricks. Seed...bad hope...ruin others...hospice care needed...not...chance and destruction."

She doesn't say anything more. Thankfully the EMTs arrive swiftly and get her onto a stretcher and into an ambulance.

The six of you watch as it drives off.

Or at least she claims to be one. Whether or not she is legitimized by the Association of Shinto Shrines is yet to be seen.

"Umm, she said a few things to me. Before the ambulance came." You say. "Said that the money she took from people around here wasn't extortion, it was police bribes."

"What?" Star says. "That's crazy."

"I dunno." Sato says. "I saw her place. It's not that fancy, unless she's the type to hide money in a bank account I don't see what she's spending it on. She doesn't even own a bike. She's always here."

"Hmph. She could have TOLD us." Star says.

"Yeah, well she also said stuff about 'Bad hope' and 'hospice care?' Any of that make sense?" You ask.

Akira groans. "Yeah, THAT she yelled at us when we opened shop. She says that we're inspiring 'bad hope' in people. The kind of hope that makes people fall for scams, or reach beyond their grasp. She's just bitter."

"Sachiko said that when she first came here, she was 'like us' and tried to inspire the neighborhood. She got a hikikomori to leave his apartment, and helped him get a job, and he made friends and he THOUGHT he had a girlfriend." Star says.

"Girl was a nasty ko-gal. Bled him dry and tossed him away." Akira says. "Sachiko said that he couldn't take having his life and his heart broken. So there was a...train delay." He sighs, looking at Star. "And Sachiko says it was her fault for pushing him. She'd rather have everyone here slowly die peacefully than go out and fail."

"It's bullshit." Star says. "She gave the fuck up, and now she can't stand to watch and see US make it!"

"She shouldn't have just given up." You say. "But it's tough, and no one deserves that because of a bee. I was just worried that some giant THING might burst out of her sh-"

Dr. Griffin has put a hand over your mouth.

"You are attempting to bring upon us many bad things and marshmallows?"

Funny, that last part did not sound like her mixing up a word.

Still, you all go back inside and sit down. Drinks are taken out, but not drank. You idly consider a few bad ideas on how to find out if Sachiko is okay or not. Then reject them all, as you are not a character in Star's collection John Hughes movies.

The sound of a car stopping in front of the Dumpling Factory causes everyone to get up. You all look expectantly at the door, which opens and two people walk in.

The man is American, he has red hair, and a full beard, and a look as if something has died in his nose. Dr. Griffin's face goes into sheer revulsion and loathing at the mere sight of him.

The woman is...to understand this, you have to understand some context.

Sana has good hair and nice eyes, Starr has a nice face, Yurei has a sweet smile and youth, Sachiko had a body, and Nurse Reika has her large...bandages.

This woman has everything mentioned above, but it's all wrong. If it's not obviously artificial, then it's been nipped/tucked/botoxed to the point of no return. Also, out of all of it there's this sense of...ugly...coming off her. You can hide and cheat nature all you want, but if all that's in your mind are petty, ugly, thoughts...then they'll seep out.

The American man says something to the woman quietly.

(cont)

>>28168186
"I am Lady Kobiara Una." The woman says. "This is my colleague, Walter Peck. We are of the Paranormal Control Oversight Coalition, and we are here to..."

She sneers at the old dusty dumpling-making machinery.

"Certify this place." She says. "Although, I am very eager to know WHY there was an AMBULANCE driving away from here not moments ago? If there's a health risk to anyone...I'm HAPPY to offer to give you an inspection."

The pair look at each other, very smugly.

Dr. Griffin and Akira look about ready to grab a proton wand/knife and let come what may.

Sana and Star are looking ready to dive for cover.

Sato looks like he's about to launch into a rant.

On the contrary, we were just dealing with some minor competitors who threatened our, and might I emphasize, our interests. Surely you understand.

>>28168232
Seconded.

>Might need to stash our Chyme somewhere where they won't notice it.
Relax, these assholes couldn't tell a PKE from a Spectralizer. They're not qualified to press a single button here but the off switch to the containment unit. It's all red tape and beuracracy with these guys.

>>28168206

>Bite the bullet and talk to them, we're a face. A reasonable face who calmly had a conversation with a ghost girl and just saved a Miko's life. We be smooth, polite, and respectful. The last thing we want is to antagonize a member of the oversight committee. Among other things we inform them that the ambulance was for a neighbor's personal health concern and we called it as diligent though new members of this community.

>We are leaving it up to them to take the first antagonistic swing at our branch. Peck and Dr. Griffin likely have their differences, but that should not yet reflect on our own...until this plastic bitch starts being a jerk to us.

Aaaah, no.

>>28168397

Is this the plot of the IDW comic?

>>28168345
>>28168326
>>28168232

Dr. Griffin holds up a hand and talks to Peck in english for a bit.

Peck narrows his eyes, and then sighs and says a few words to Lady Une. (Who the fuck goes around demanding that people call her 'Lady' that DON'T live in England? Also, is there any place other than England where that doesn't instantly make you look like a jackass?)

Lady Une deflates and Dr Griffin and Peck leave to talk and, judging by the pen that Dr. Griffin is carrying, sign forms. Or Dr. Griffin is going to stab him in the neck, either way, problem solved.

Lady Une looks at you, and then narrows her eyes.

"I know you from somewhere." She says.

Actually, it's because he got super butthurt over having his authority challenged by Venkman, so he developed a THROBBING hateboner for the original 'busters.
>>28168477
>I'm the Ghostbuster you saw on the news show about the karaoke parlor. That must be it.

>>28168539

And, once he finally understood the new rules of the world he lived in, and that others died in but stuck around anyway, he came out of it rather coy and interesting.

Especially after the events of the Game, he did not like being used like that.

>>28168609
I say this as a /co/mrade...Yes. Go read all of the IDW ongoing from the start. It has a distinctive and fun artstyle and you get to watch Venkman talk down a god and outwit it because the writers remembered he knows how to fuck with people's heads as a psychologist

>>28168584
Peck is actually not terrible at his job, and P-COC has done a great job at debunking and exposing a LOT of frauds and dangerous idiots, plus they've broken up one or two cults. They're a real force of good, and Peck is an effective...if 'overly detailed' manager.

It's just that he HATES the GBs SO. FUCKING. MUCH. That he will not give you guys a break. Ever. (The exception is Janine, but she's a singular case.)

Lady Una on the OTHER hand...

"Uhh, you must have seen me on the TV with the thing at the karaoke parlor." You say. "That got a lot of attention."

"I see..." She says, drumming her perfectly manicured and perfectly artificial looking nails on the table. "I'm sure I've seen you elsewhere though. I doubt I'd forget a...face...like yours." She winks at you and sits down in Dr. Griffin's seat, next to you. The others all shy away. "What's your name?"

Oh God, you've seen attractive 40-50 year olds. Christmas cakes that had the whole campus salivating after them. But no one who is 40-50 looks good when they're trying to be 20-30. Her perfume is also really noticeable and probably over priced and too heavily applied.

And her she is trying to be 'seductive' to you. You really really PRAY that she's just putting on an act.

(I LOVE THIS. This is twice, okay, I'll give you 2 null 'Overloads' (1 in combat), so you keep going instead of lose a turn Ghost Rolls still fuck you over.)

You take a deep breath. You look at Sato.

"Still think I'm lucky?" You say. Then you turn back to Lady Une. "I'm Harutora Daisuke." You say.

There's a pause. Lady Une nods. Then she stands up and readjusts her suit that she's wearing.

"You cost my daughters their education." She says calmly. "One was so traumatized by the event, she even thinks..." She shakes her head. "Never mind. Know this, Harutora Daisuke...you destroyed my family's dreams. So I will destroy yours."

"You'll have to get in line behind them." You say. "They're madder at me than you are."

"Smart people." She looks at the other Ghostbusters. "So...you stand with him? This monster who crushes the dreams of children? You do know that he's responsible for multiple families losing their jobs, children being expelled, and even a few...train delays." She gives you an icy glare. "Young girls too."

You stare right back at her. Those deaths aren't on you. You may have been a causative factor, but you're not responsible for shit like that. No matter what Her Ladyship thinks.

"He's a Ghostbuster, and my friend." Sato says. "I'd stand with him on the boat to Hell."

"Same." "Totally." Akira and Star say.

"Very well." Lady Una says. "We will see." She turns on her heel.

"Hey, Una." You say. This is a stab in the dark, but you think it's a good one. "Did your girls KNOW that you were paying for them, or did they just think they were smart?"

She pauses, you see her visibly swallow. "You. Will. Suffer." She hisses and then leaves.

A long pause.

"So..." Sato says. "You think sh'es going to fuck you BEFORE she kills you...or is she the kind of gal who prefers to do it after?"

"Daisuke...were you the one who talked about that sca-"

"Okay!" Dr. Griffin says coming back inside. "We got the forms and Peck is going home tonight and never coming back here.

"Though you must be having the presence of the other woman that he was with who was also his parter in the organization he has." She says.

"So...that was our Dickless headache from P-COC." Akira says. "Shoot me now."

"You did see that she's a woman. Right?" Sato says.

"She still has no dick!" Star says.

"Hey!" You say, to stop the conversation about That Woman to go much longer. Also you notice that your beer is now mysteriously empty. "Who's for going out to eat?"

"Miyagi's sounds really good." You say.

"Agreed." Everyone else says and you all walk the four blocks.

Miyagi's is run by this nice married couple. Well...you're not sure if it's a legal document here, but it's a legal document in America, and fuck it. This is the Reject Zone, it isn't like anyone's going to make a huge fuss about it...as long as they STAY in the Reject Zone.

Either way Toshi welcomes you all when you come in, and Maoto waves from his place back in the kitchen.

The couple do a pretty brisk business. MOstly because the stuff they cook isn't much more complicated than a grill, a fryer, and a pan. The meat is the industrial stuff you get in tubes, one step away from Pink Slime. But a hand-made burger is still a hand made burger, and Maoto likes to experiment with spices and sauces and make everything just right for each customer.

The dinner is pleasant, canned milk and juice, the burgers smell lovely from the back, greasy thick fries, and Toshi's even brought out a full sake set when you said you wanted a drink.

It's been a long time since you drank out of a sake box. Even better now with friends.

Most of the dinner conversation is you embarrassing Sato about his childhood misadventures, and the other three proclaiming at how dull and boring it was working out in the sticks on a cow farm or chicken ranch.

But that's true of more than this place.
The truly odd phenomenon here is that ghosts are trying to pattern themselves off ancient Japanese ghost mythos and legends, to make themselves powerful rather than the western ghosts who make legends out of themselves and how they lived and died.
Conversely that lets them get power from popular belief in ghosts, but soon the story takes over and they risk losing their own idendity

So, it's kinda like the various deities in Scion? The most famous ones are obscenely powerful, but essentially chained to their legend, so they don't really have any free will?

>>28169697
I don't know Scion but yeah, like that. We seemed to have interrupted an Okiku last thread as she was becoming Okiku from whoever she was in life, or something.

Though, I'm sure this effect isn't universal of people who die in Japan, or other actual legends and myths that are definitely out there. The first three girls who killed Yurei created their own construct forms from their own will. But this is something we ought to note.

>>28169697
Seems like it, and then there's that Okiku Maid that was halfway there (or broke off from the archetype) and she was even more dangerous because of that.

You think you're more than a little drunk on sake, beer, atmosphere, and greasy food...but you're pretty sure that the sake bottle is about to fall off the table. They way it's tipping and wobbling.

You grab for it, and then the face on the bottle bites your hand.

THAT sobers you up a LOT. You jump away from the table, just the same as the others do. You all watch as Black Slime starts to spurt and ooze from the bottle.

"What the hell?"

"We were DRINKING that?"

"Spontaneous slime eruption? That's...oh SHIT!"

The black slime has oozed over the plates and the silverware and that stuff starts to rattle and shake too. You're getting ready to duck again, when the whole mess of flatware and silverware drags itself together in a mass, and starts to build itself up.

Plates become chest-plate armor, cups turn into shoulder pauldrons, soup spoons turn into legs and the sake box you were drinking out of turns into a battle dress.

The bottle is the head. In it's small 'hands' it holds a steak knife.

The face glares at you, showing little teeth. It's painted eyes glow red for a moment. The knife is pointed at everyone, swept across the room like a sword, and a chittering voice in old archaic Edo-Period Japanese is heard.

A Seto Taisho has just declared war upon you all.

"Daisuke, are you sure?" Star asks.

"Yeah. I am. I've had a fuck of a day and I want to hit something, repeatedly!" You say.

The others take off towards the kitchen leaving you to face the fearsome Seto Taisho with only a...

You go first.

Do you want to play defensively, or offensively?

>>28170398
>>28170402
HAHAHAHA Three times! Three!
>>28170407
Offensive, attempt to disarm this thing.

>>28170430
It's a walking pile of armaments that can fly to it's bidding, but you call the shots and this might work.

Offense

>>28170407
Defensively, we're in a restaurant. there's tables and chairs everywhere. we can delay him into hitting furniture everywhere. D-FENSE!

You swing out and you smash that little bastard but good. It flies against the wall and shatters into a pile of black slime and broken pottery.

Of course, you were aware that the Seto Taisho is notorious for regenerating itself. No big deal, you just keep smashing it as soon as it gets up...or even before! That's an even better idea. You head towards the mass, ready to smash it again.

It's alright.
Trying to beat down a construct that can literally regenerate itself from the dust you smash it into wasn't an endlessly sustainable plan.

Also, all that shattered pottery shards flying everywhere will not be pleasant.

GHOST ROLL

You expected to see the slime mass reforming.

What you DIDN"T expect to see was a clear membrane wall in the middle of the slime mass.

It takes you a minute to figure out what's going on, and then it hits you where you've seen this before.

Cellular Mitosis

There's a west burst as now you're looking at TWO S-Ts!

They cry out their ancient helium-esque sounding war-cries and enter the fray!

Your turn first though. Offensive or defensive?

>>28170690
DEFENSIVE! DEFENSIVE DEFENSIVE!

That's . . .not good. It's not an unprecedented case but it means we're in some deep shit here.

Defensive. Use the surroundings like the cairs and tables to your advantage.

>>28170690
Defensive, two is one too many time to fight a delaying action.

It was capable of multiplication. It likely means this is not actual dead soul, but sentient psychokinetic energy.
As in a real seto taisho.
And a high classed one at that to able to multiply.

Mitosis? BULLSHIT! That wasn't part of our deal, Blackheart! THAT WASN'T PAAAARRRRT!

Okay, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice...get run through! You just make little jabs with your fork. Just enough to force them back.

In the back you can hear the sound of a moped starting up, one of the guys must own one and it's being used...well that should speed things up.

You can take a -2 to hit automatically, or you can roll for No Damage at all from one S-T.

Vote with a roll or 'No Roll', first one that gets three

(I'll be nice.)

One of the S-T's starts to shake and quiver suddenly and...oh no...it's not...

SQU-POP!

It did. Now there's THREE of the bastards!

Ohh, this is not good. Your mind goes to bad Grey Goo scenarios. Of the cities of Japan over-run by an ocean tiny tea cup monsters.

Your turn, attack or defense or other?

Also its quite clear why the girls flock to MC. They can feel the BAMF flowing off of him in waves.

We need to decrease their numbers if only temporarily. Perhaps lock one or two in the fridge if their small enough.

Throw a table to pin at least one of them

Also drew this one

>>28171192
Defence. We just gotta hold on until the others get here.

>>28171276
That is just too perfect.

Okay...okay...things we could do...AH!

The freezer's a long floor length deal. You think to yourself as you duck into the kitchen, the S-Ts following you. So that's not great...

But they have a deep fat fryer and an oven.

It wouldn't be too hard to sweep the 'legs' out from one of them and chuck it into the fryer...or trick one into the oven and trap it in there.

Or you can continue to try and hold em off.

Your call.

>>28171387
It's made of pots and pans, hot oil isn't going to do much but then we'd have to face a construct covered in hot boiling oil.

Try to hold them off. Preferably away from the vats of oil, a nasty slip would be bad here.

>>28171387
Something tells me hot oil is bad here. Hold them off, try to do the least damage to an area that we've ever done.

>>28171387
Get the fuck out of this place, this is a deathtrap waiting to happen.

>>28171387
What kind of oven? A full enclosed one? Or those with a window on the door?
If solid, oven trap
If not get out of there

>>28171387
I didn't want deep fried ghost buster last thread,
I don't want it this one.

Defense, carefully

>>28171387
So we're in the kitchen, Can we at least switch to a better weapon like a chopper or something. our fork just aint cutting it.
