You kick in the door to the study.

She's standing there, dressed in a filthy cheap flowered dress and a beige skirt covered with grime, and no shoes. Slime drips from the messy hair covering her face and one hateful eye gazes at you.

An empty noose hands from the rafters above you.

She opens her mouth and lets out that familiar croaking noise, and raises an arm to point at you.

>>32447158
Proton beam. Slime wont do much right now, stasis is not good with room dripping with black slime. Proton has to punch through to the core.

>>32447241
She not even be the core.

If we wanted piercing power we'd have to try the Boson Darts.

>>32447418
I suppose I'll back Darts too.

>>32447418
In the game, you can fire the Boson Dart down the Proton Stream, you can almost sorta lead the boson using the stream. If possible I'd like to open up with both.

>>32447418
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y_l3nOMYzo

Around 7:40, you can see the white bulge (the boson dart) flowing through the proton stream, and likewise when the stream moves the boson is directed with it.

Boson dart it is.

Not wanting to waste time, you immediately go for the big guns and launch a boson dart at the ghost.

You fire the bast at Kayako, but she just simply backhands it to the side where it slams into the slimy walls of the house.

It does a decent bit of damage to the wall...until the slime covers it back up, but Kayako's palm isn't even slightly burnt, just a few wisps of smoke rising from it.

"That isn't good. But I guess we never expected it to be easy." Akira says as he lets loose with a Proton Stream.

>>32447634

Oh my god, I just got the best roll so far.

Bullseye! Akira hits the ghost right in the eye. She snaps her head back for a moment and her croaking stops in a cough.

But she hasn't moved an inch, and when she turns her gaze back at you, you see smoke rising from her rapidly healing eye.

You notice that the walls of the room are acting more...violent, charring and thrashing. After Akira's shot, you even see some bare patches of actual wall.

Kayako motions with her hand and, with a hideous slurping sound, a figure steps out from the wall.

It's her son, but not the same as the one Kayako The Mother was protecting. This one has blue skin, his fingernails are long and look almost like claws. He opens his mouth too wide for normal humans and lets out a cat's yowl.

The Child attacks Akira with a lunging swipe.

Akira jumps out of the way.

Kayako croaking changes into an angry hiss.

A new figure steps out from the wall. A tall male figure, wearing dirty clothing, Stubbly beard on his face, and red stains on his hands and around his neck. He has no other facial features though.

Kayako's husband has arrived and he moves to grab you.

Her son is still in Stasis.

You easily break free by ripping the husband's arm off the body.

When you do it spurts out black slime and the thing...deflates. It does a wicked witch of the west act and melts into the ground with a steaming hiss.

You also see a little of Kayako's slimy hair fall out.

Akira hoses down the brat with slime.

Kayako is instantly there in front of her son, taking the hit for him. The slime having no effect on her body at all.

There's another slurching noise as a new individual comes out from the wall.

He's wearing a black, slime covered jump suit, his flesh is fish belly pale, and his eyes are pure black. He's also wearing a black cowboy hat.

It's Akira.

"You fucking LOSER!" The double snarls. "You go around being all nice-nice to ghosts. Don't you remember what they DID to us? What HAPPENED TO US IN THE DARK!?"

"For the record, I'd like to think I can be a tad more diplomatic these days." Akira says.

"Yeah, you give them a chance to surrender and only receive a LIGHT beating." You say with a smile.

Kayako staggers back hands clutching at her head.

"IT'S NOT FAIR!" You hear your own voice say from behind you.

Yep, now it's your turn. You see your own Grudge step out from the wall.

"I did the right thing and now I have to live in a shit-hole in a shitty neighborhood, doing shit like this! I was supposed to be relaxing in University! I DID the RIGHT thing and now I have to SUFFER. IT'S NOT FAIR!"

"I should have left you drunk at the train station." Another voice hisses.

It's Sato's Grudge. His messy hair now a slimy mass covering his face, the little scars he obtained in childhood now weeping sores.

"This was supposed to be MY time to FINALLY be the hero! For everyone to like ME, and so I could STOP being the clown and saying that STUPID crap just so people could LIKE me...but no...no I HAD to have a bleeding heart and help you, and now YOU'RE the big leader, and I'm just the second banana loser...and YOU'RE the asshole all the girls want...I HATE you."

Not-You and Not-Sato both shoot slime streams at you.

>>32449749
Not fair? What the fuck is this shit about? Japanese societal expectations is that you do the right thing, things will not be fair, and because you're a good person you're supposed to suck it up and take it.

The good news is that your spray was pretty effective. One blast hits Sato, and another hits 'yourself' right between the eyes, causing 'you' to burst into slime and collapse.

The bad news is that now YOU'RE the one with a non-functioning pack. It's over-heated.

Thankfully Sato is back up and operational and he fires a boson dart into the remaining two Ghostbuster Grudges, that are now grouped together, thanks to you.

BAM! A direct hit on both of them.

"Yes!" Akira says with a smile.

There's a familiar slurching noise.

"Oh, who is it now?" Akira asks.

"Smile for the camera, perk your breasts up, come suck my cock." Sana says. "I work and I work and I work! And what does it get me? NOTHING! I DESERVE to be a great actress, and what am I? A nothing extra, all because I won't WHORE myself out! I see the rest of them, smiling and pretty, and they insult me when they think I can't hear. I'm the helper of those lunatics. I live in a slum. I don't deserve to be here...SCREW all of you!"

Then...something weird happens...Sana's Grudge...changes. Kind of.

Her stance shifts, and though you can't see much of her face, due to it being covered in slime, but you get a sense that it's shifted slightly.

"What is going...oh...I see...it's early." She giggles. "I wasn't sure this one would get the part...but I'm not in her...and very much early on my cue...I see."

Kayako looks at Sana's Grudge.

"Yes, yes. I understand." She reaches into her pocket and pulls out a hypodermic needle filled with black slime. "Dress rehearsal then."

She lunges at you, while Sato and Star try to spray Akira with Slime again.

Sato dodges Star but gets a full blast to the back by Sato and now his pack is overheating again.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Sato says as he bangs on his pack. "This is really getting old." He swears.

Your pack is cooling down and Akira is still trying to get his pack working again.

There's yet another squelching noise.

"I don't want to be dead." Yurei says. "I don't want to be dead. I DON'T WANT TO BE DEAD! I WANT TO FEEL, TO EAT, TO SING, TO KISS, TO TOUCH! I DON'T WANT TO BE DEAD!" She snarls, bearing her fleshless hands, drippling with black slime.

"This room is getting REALLY crowded." Sato says.

Sato and Star go for Akira.

>>32451532
It is quite the shame we didn't bring the full team here to fight their doubles.

We are weakening her, she's splitting her power to make these forms. Akira hit her int he fact with a nat20 Boson Dart, the biggest thing we could hit her with, and she barely nudged her head.

>>32452163
>Why ain't we blasting Kayako
She seems to be limited by the narrative, like many Japanese ghosts.
She can't attack us directly until we defeat her minions; conversely, her defenses are up until we defeat her minions.
And apparently there's supposed to be a specific order, because Slime-Sana apparently came out too soon.

>>32452186
Oh yeah, throw in that dialogue maybe it'll help a bit. It worked for that dad.

Rolled 14, 20, 5 = 39

>>32452176
You hit Yurei and she again goes shock still.

Seeing you as the biggest threat, all three Grudges go for you. Sato and Star blasting slime, Sana trying to hit you with her needle.

"An Ur Exorcist? Impossible...and yet, here two are. Well...not for much longer." 'Sana' says, chuckling.

Rolled 14, 10 = 24

>>32452248
You dodge Sana's lunge, but in doing so, you get nailed by the other two, and your damn pack it overheating again!

"I Have had, ENOUGH!" Akira says, shooting a Boson Dart at Sato and Star.

>>32452248
So Sana, what are you doing in a role like this? Me and you were going to go try out for that one you seemed excited for, hell we were planning on all showing up to cheer you on."

>>32452272
"You're not really Sana's Grudge, are you? What, Kayako couldn't be bothered to actually use a portion of her power and you're an extra that needed the quick cash?"

Rolled 13, 1 = 14

>>32452272
The blast isn't perfect, but it's good enough. Sato explodes into harmless grey slime, and the blast was enough that it seems that Yurei got a little too, as immobile as she was.

There's no further Grudges emerging from the walls, but you do notice that Kayako's croaking is getting louder, looking at her you see the black slime pooling around her and her hair starting to thrash, and her hands start to clench and unclench. Her hair is moving on its own, slowly to start, but she's gaining speed.

Star tries to cover Akira with slime.

Yurei breaks free of her stasis.

Sana lunges at you with her needle.

>>32452384
Akira just barely manages to get out of the way.

Sana, actually stumbles over Yurei and falls to the ground.

Your turn is spent reactivating your pack.

Akira sprays slime at Star.

>>32452422
You know, with all the failing that's going on, I can only imagine this fight being like 6 people in a disproportionately tiny room, and they're all stumbling about and tripping everywhere and rolling around.

>>32452384
>>32452422
We might want to Capture this Sana alive (well, unlief), especially since she's evidently a separate entity and not just slime.

We could draw information out of her, and now that she's stumbled she's vulnerable.

>>32452422
Kayako again appears right in front of Star and blocks it, showing no effect on her.

Star tries to spray Akira again.

Yurei and Sana are trying to get up from the floor.

Kayako's croaking is getting loud enough that it's distracting. Her hair is thrashing, and her limbs have popped into place, looking VERY hostile and ready to mess you up. She'll be attacking herself soon.

Akira dodges out of the way, easily.

(Keep in mind, that this is not Yurei. This is just Yurei's Grudge. It's her hate and self-loathing made into a thing of Hostile PKE and Black Slime.)

Kayako does her 'appear right in front of people' trick and blocks the proton blast with her palm.

Then she smiles and you see...well...emission of Red PKE start to form around her hands. Crackling and hissing.

Akira doesn't notice it and launches a Boson Dart at Star and Yurei.

Well damn, luck deserted us right at the last moment. I'm going to work so I'm trusting you guys to nail this ghost to the wall.

>>32452798
The blast hits Star dead on and she explodes into grey slime, and Yurei gets caught in the blast as well.

Kayako's actually looking pretty weak, slime is dripping off her, her hair has mostly fallen out and she looks like crap.

But she's still smiling.

Sana takes a few steps back and out of the way. "You're about to get a taste of your own medicine!" She says.

Kayako walks up to Yurei and puts a hand on her shoulder. Yurei instantly collapses into a pile of grey slime, and the red PKE around Kayako's hands glows brighter.

She turns to the pair of you and does her best imitation of the Emperor from Star Wars. A...for lack of a better word...anti-position beam leaps from her fingers and hits both you and Akira.

(This is an auto-hit you both fry for 1 hit, and it can't be healed by posi-slime.)

It hurts. A lot. Also you don't have eyebrows anymore.

Thankfully, she runs out of energy before your insides fry.

> Your turn.

>>32452913
No more fooling about.
We take down Kayako, now.

Have Akira clean off that last vestages of black slime and we hit her with the Stasis, we must immobilize her and depower, then we can get to the core.

>>32452982
That is to say, Akira uses Posi-Slime and we use Stasis field. Hold her steady and then we go for the core.

>>32452982
>>32453014
Seconded

>>32452982
Didn't she say (through interpretation) that'd she'd go willingly into the trap if we won? Maybe that's why she's still smiling. Take care of 'Sana' first.

>>32453067
oh, right.

Then again, she wasn't really supposed to intervene personally either. But yeah,

>>32453067
Yes, but if we immobilize Kayako, we'll be able to go for Sana next without worrying about getting burnt to death

>>32453100
Her energy's already depleted though. Well, just to be sure.

It's at point blank range, so there's little chance that he can miss.

However, something strange happens. Kayako gets the hit...

...but Sana is the one who winces in pain and black slime starts to bubble and hiss.

"No matter." She says, looking at her sizzling 'flesh.' "This was more of an accidental appearance anyway." She summons her needle to her hand again and returns to the fray.

Kayako is focusing, it's slow going with the stasis crystals.

Sana lunges at you with her needle again.

>>32451651
When did Sato show up? Shouldn't he be outside?

>>32453412
You dodge out of the way.

> Your turn

>>32453421
I'm thinking he's accidentally switching the name of Akira with Sato, unless Sato is somehow attacking himself at times.

>>32453421
Editing mistake.

>>32453432
This. Sorry.

>>32453426
Kayako is slowed down and depowered, Now we need to get not Sana, she's clearly a big part of the picture.

Hit her with the stream and throw the trap, do whatever we can to hold her steady and bag her.

With all of Kayako's minions defeated, maybe she will end up going voluntarily like was said previously.

>>32453412
>"This was more of an accidental appearance anyway."

Outward appearance, or appearing unlive and in person? Something to knock the facade offa her if there is one. Try hitting 'Sana' with stasis directly.

>>32453491
>"What is going...oh...I see...it's early."
>"I wasn't sure this one would get the part...

I don't know what this means, but when this is over we should take a closer look at Sana.

Akira gets up to point blank range and just hoses her down, but Kayako goes that same trick that she used before.

Sana turns into a mass of sizzling inert grey slime and dissolves like the rest.

She's oddly calm about the whole thing, unlike the others.

"See you later, Ur Exorcists." She says through her melting lips.

Now it's just you, and her.

She looks bad, tired, and nearly all of her hair has fallen out. The room itself looks less hostile as well. There's less slime on the walls and more actual wall, and the faces and thrashing forms have all but vanished.

Even her croaking is lessened.

Still it looks like she's still trying to put up a fight, you see little sparks of Red PKE starting to form around her hands again. She's charging up.

> Your turn.

You hit her dead on with the Stasis Beam, and crystals start to form instantly. Like all other ghosts, she instinctually tries to break free...and in her thrashing to break free she bangs her arm against a non-slimed part of the wall...and it comes off. Right at the shoulder.

She stares at it.

Akira, with a vindictive look on his, slightly sizzling, face...steps forward to slime her.

>>32454040
>and in her thrashing to break free she bangs her arm against a non-slimed part of the wall...and it comes off. Right at the shoulder.
Souvenir anyone?

I really wish we collected trophies and knicknacks of all the ghosts we've faced since thread 1.

Rookie and the Original Ghost Busters filled the firehouse with all sorts of memorabilia and even active spectral trophies.

>>32454096
Still don't have that DVD or the T-Shirt from the gameshow

>>32454040
It works, and Kayako's Grudge falls to the ground a writhing and slimy mass that slowly dissolves into grey sludge, like all the rest.

The room shifts, and the figures and faces in the wall fade away. You see little specks of white light flick through the air, and vanish.

You look out the window, and see Sato and Star out in the yard. They're also covered in slime and slightly streaming. Sato holding the covered Stage Light/Heavy Dudty Proton Cannon, and Star with the Slime Power Washer wand...they look like they've been through a lot...and the yard looks like it's filled with fireflies for just a moment...then it's a vacant lot filled with grey and green slime.

There's a sound of footsteps coming up the stairs. You and Akira spin around and look.

Kayako, dressed in clean clothing, calmly enters the room. She's carrying one of those small flecks of light in her hands. She smiles as it flies up into the air, and vanishes.

She looks at the two of you and nods.

"Umm..." Akira looks at you.

"Can't you...follow him?" You ask. "We don't trap those who aren't..."

She shakes her head, and then lifts up her shirt just slightly to show her stomach.

You see, just underneath her skin is a mass of swirling, swarming, hideousness. The Foul Essences...they're still in her. No amount of slime, or protonic blasts can dispel something like that.

"Never leaves." Kayako croaks out in a very hoarse and croaky voice. "Will happen again."

Kayako cannot be allowed to remain free. The foulness within her will seep out, and her own hatreds will resurface. It'll start all over again, or worse, start somewhere else. She'll ensnare the souls of others, and create a new Legion-entity again.

Right now though, the darkness in her soul has been beaten into submission enough that Kayako's last few remaining shreds of kinds, compassion, and love have control.

And they're asking you to seal her away. Forever.

> Trap her.
> Let Akira trap her.

>>32454223
We can ask the lady in red if we see her again.
>>32454239
Hug it out. Step back. Lay the trap out in the middle and open in. Let her step in. Wave good bye. ;_;

>>32454296
Actually we may need something bigger for this, if I recall the Yomi-1 has the new and improved Super Muon Trap, now would be a good opportunity to test it out.

>>32454313
So as long as there's a hug. And dialogue. Where's the dialogue people?

>>32454239
Bring up the Yomi-1 and open up the Super Trap.

>>32454357
"Not forever Kayako. But long enough. We will free you and you will see your son, and may the Ghostbusters never cease hunting evil wherever it be until you do, I swear upon all the powers."

>>32454395
This

>>32454395
Seconded.

>>32454395
Thirded.

"Do we need the super slammer?" You ask.

"I dunno..." Akira says. "Judging by how it's smoking and YOMI-1 is just a little on fire I think the other two put it through its paces."

Kayako shakes her head.

You nod and set the trap on the ground, and then you step over and hug Kayako. She's so startled that she freezes in shock.

"This will not be forever Kayako. But long enough. We will free you, and you will see your son, and may the Ghostbusters never cease hunting evil wherever it be until you do, I swear upon all the powers."

You step back.

Tears of black slime drip down her face.

You open the trap and the blinding light pours out. Kayako calmly steps into the light and is drawn inside. The trap snaps shut.

At that same moment, all the black slime in the house turns into grey gunk, and even more sparks of light appear.

The house also ages about 20 years in a few moments as time finally is allowed to take hold, now that the PKE is absent.

Which means you and Sato are standing on the second floor in a rapidly decaying house that's half grey slime.

There's a slight creaking and you two manage to take one step before the entire house crumbles around you.

Thankfully, you land in the middle of a large puddle of slime and only slime falls upon your head.

"Hey guys." Sato says as he and Star walk up to help you and Akira out of the sludgy mess. "So...I take it we won?"

"Yeah. About 99%." You say.

"99%?" Star asks warily.

You wave her off. "It's okay, I'll tell you about that last bit back at base. We're good."

"Great." Sato says. "Cause I think we all have first degree burns and severe slime exposure. Also we probably have one very pissed off realtor."

(cont)

>>32454867
You look at the giant mound of slime and rouge rotten masonry, and the yard that's completely covered in slime and scorch marks.

"They can send the fine to P-COC." You say.

You all stagger towards the not-on-fire YOMI-1.

There's someone familiar leaning on the other side of the van, smoking a cigarette and looking like she needs one.

"Oh wow," She exhales with a smile on her face. "That. Was a fight." She shivers. "I mean, with you two out here facing the unending horde, and you two inside with that brawl in that small room with all those copies." She makes a sound of delight. "Oh, I missed this...and the Old Man will be pleased too. He's back in America being all cryptic to your fellows...I think he enjoys having 'his priests' back...but whatever." She puts out her cigarette with her foot and then sighs. "And now I need a good screwing..." She sizes all four of you up and then pouts. "But I promised the Idiot that I'd never take His People as my lover...unless you're offering?"

"Uhh...no thanks?" You say. You don't know why you just said that, but it was your lizard brain kicking in telling you that sleeping with this gorgeous, violent, red-haired, woman would be a VERY VERY bad idea.

She shrugs. "Well, offer's always open. Oh, and you'll want your priestess friend to start looking into that trick Kayako's mother did with the Sake, if you want to continue helping Kayako. Ciao, Ghostbusters." She walks off down the alley.

The four of you just stand there in silence, dripping slime.

"Someone want to explain what happened?" Sato asks.

"Later..." Akira says. "Right now, I think I need another drink."

Thanks for the run!

Awesome thread GhostMaster, thanks for running!

>>32454975
I have a feeling it won't be long. We'll look into that Anti-PKE Sake.
And even if we ourselves don't end up freeing Kayako, we have other Ghostbusters who can try. Brighter minds and better resources.

The Ghostbusters have killed, destroyed, even purified Gods and Legion class entities before in exactly the same situation. Ivo Shandor absorbed all the foulness of New York for over 200 years, Gozer who knows how many Millenia, and if we can bring even those down, the Ghostbusters can and we will free Kayako whether it's today or a hundred years from now.

On the brighter side, the Containment Unit is a VASTLY more pleasant place for her to be in than her house.

No more haunting, no more hanging, no more reliving the horror. Just a pleasant peaceful place where she can rest as herself.

You know, I really love the Ghostbusters Japan Quest...but every time I get involved (as opposed to just reading it), I suck at it.
If it isn't making the wrong /time-consuming decisions, it's making really sucky dice rolls.
