The evening had started fairly normal for the stoner buddies Theo and Wade, though. The pair had gone to the graveyard and smoked a few joints behind the tombstones all hocus-pocus style before taking their two man party through the woods to Theo's, which is where Theo had his brilliant idea.

"Yo man....hear me out, yeah?" Theo started, taking in a long puff of the joint before passing it to his buddy as they trekked through the dark woods. "Y'know that old Powell house that's just out of these woods? I say we go back to my room, grab my ghost gear and we conduct an investigation!" Theo finished excitedly, he had always been into the supernatural and the idea of investigating a well known haunted hot spot seemed great to him.

"We gotta rock some protection crystals though, I know that house will have some bad ju-ju up in there." He added, waving his hands around in a somewhat mystical fashion. Theo was eager to hear his buddies response to this idea. They had approached the car and he had pulled out the keys to the groove-mobile. Without really waiting for an answer from Wade, Theo sped off to the direction of the suites.

"I'll be back in a sec dude!" Theo commented before running into his room and grabbing an EMF detector that he had ordered online and a small tape recorder. He was back out to the car within no time and sparking up another joint. He had definitely given Wade a solid amount of time to stew over the idea and hoped that he would be on board.

It was one of those nights like any other which Kier spent with his close friend Billie. They had been working on some community theater special effects makeup together and Kier was growing incredibly frustrated with a few minor mistakes that he was making on the latex masks. "Man all of this zombie makeup is going to drive me crazy!" Kier said in exasperation as he slid his rolling chair away from the desk where he was working. He rolled the chair over next to Billie.

"How about we go for a drive dollface? Maybe drive by our favorite creepy Powell mansion?" He suggested with an eyebrow wiggle. The beautiful architecture of the house during the day was one thing, but the spookiness of it at night was even more fascinating.
Kier stood up from his chair and smoothed his shorts out, "I'll even get us some ice cream~" Kier added in with a grin.

Wade's Outfit

It felt pretty good to chill with Theo like old times. He did miss just coastin' through the day, not a care, in that cloud of smoke that never faded... but it was funny to him, thinking about how things were now in contrast to before. Before he always sort of felt something off, a piece missing in the puzzle of things that no amount of hash or anything seemed to fill. Then Summer came in to his life and he felt whole, like he had never felt with any kind of substance. He did get a little bummed out at the thought of leaving his bro and moving in to the empty room at her place, but it didn't seem to bother Theo. They were still able to chill and do their business every other day. Today felt a little different though, and Wade couldn't be sure why.

As they strolled back from the thrill of getting baked in the graveyard at night, jumping tombstones like they were a foot path of rocks across a rushing river. Wade heard his friend out, curiosity compelling a little wry grin on his face. The dude was way in to this, who was Wade to deny him an awesome ghost hunting session? He figured it'd be harmless enough, walking through some abandoned house and pretending to be freaked out. Felt like he owed Theo this, doing their kooky duo thing, cooking up silly schemes like they used to. It got them in to a lot of funny situations and right about now... he could really go for something like that.

So he nodded, agreeing to the talked-up adventure with a knowing grin. "For sure," he began, "we got to be way prepared just in case we catch the bad vibe attention of some nefarious ghosty characters. You know what we need." In to the Mystery Machine they went - off to prepare for a predictably wacky night. He typed out a heads up to Summer along the way to the dorms, letting her know how the evening was progressing. He'd told her it'd be a late night, but he didn't want her worrying! Sending the message complete with the good vibes of an emote heart, Wade exited the vehicle as Theo did. "Right behind you man,"

He followed his bro to the dorm, which to him had become more like a studio - his old room containing his instruments and gear, mystical items and books, outlandish accessories and the various odds and ends that had neither the place nor the space in Summer's house. He'd taken the more powerful of his crystals, though he'd left a few to benefit Theo and their enterprise - and they would definitely work toward their mission tonight. He packed them and a bundle of sage in to his small satchel bag, joining his bro on the way back out of the building. "Those spirits better play nice dude, they won't wanna see us bust out our heavy artillery." Wade grinned wide, hopping in to the vehicle and receiving the j splendidly.

They'd be ghostbusting in no time!

Billie-Jean's Outfit

Billie-Jean had been spending a lot of her time with Kier. It was great to finally have somebody who was interested in the special effects as much as she was. A lot of people thought it was a weird thing to be into, but she loved it so much. They were working on a homework assignment together, even though it wasn't a partner thing. She found it comfortable to work alone, but working alongside Kier gave her something to do. It was great to have chats about real things, not just casual hello/goodbye's like she did with most people.

She looked up as Kier pushed himself away from the table, a small smile on her lips. "Take a breather, Keeeee-Keeeee." She ruffled his hair, winding him up. "Sure, a drive sounds good to me." The pair had found the creepy mansion so interesting. She had so many ideas for makeup and photoshoots in that building, but they hadn't actually been in there yet.

"Ice cream? Yes please!" She stood up from her cross-legged position, stretching her body out. They had been sat for hours and she hadn't realised just how numb her butt had gone. She picked her bag up from his desk, before heading out to his car. "Paramore playlist, yes?"

Theo couldn’t be more excited that his best pal was down to hunt ghosts with him. “Good thinking, man.” He commented as Wade stashed some crystals and a bundle of sage into his satchel. Theo made sure to pocket a few crystals as well.

He had started up the car and began the drive to the old Powell mansion, “If they try to play hardball with us, we’ll play it right back! Two mystical dudes are too much for some spooky old ghosts to take on.” He replied to Wade enthusiastically as they had approached the house.

He made sure to park the car further down the street and got out of the car, putting out the roach of the joint on the bottom of his shoe. “You ready to do this thing?” Theo asked Wade as they started their walk to the front door. Theo would easily be able to pick the lock, he was pretty skilled at simple tasks like these.

Kier grabbed his keys before following Billie out to his car. “You know me so well, girl!” He said with approval to the suggestion of a Paramore playlist. The plan was to drive past the mansion and then go get ice cream. All the car ride there, he and Billie sang along to some of Paramore’s older songs. It was so good to hang out with someone who shared the same interests as him, it was very hard to find people who understood his passion for makeup, but he and Billie were very alike.

As they drove by the mansion, Kier spotted two shadows at the door of the mansion. “Woah check it out, Billie. Looks like someone’s trying to sneak in. Should we go scare em’?” He asked mischievously.

"Spooky old ghosts don't roll with the times like we do Theo man." Wade smirked, nodding and unbuckling once they arrived. He exited the vehicle with his stuff in tow, "Ready as the Moon above." his smile carried over as he followed his broham. As he picked the lock, Wade kept watch - alerting Theo with a nudge of his elbow against his back. "Dude, cool it man - we've got company."

---

The moment they set their feet on to the premises Calvin Powell found himself in his old upstairs bedroom - hid in the closet amidst the overlapping memory of clothes sandwiching him. He was having a better afterlife of ghosting away from this prison he'd called a home. He could entertain himself outside the walls, permitting no living person trespassed where he'd lost his life at the hands of his father.

What now?

He lifted himself out of the confine, through the beams and the shingles of the roof. Overlooking his childhood home, he noticed the disturbance right away. Students. Plenty of kids around his passing age came around here after hearing the urban legend. He wished they wouldn't. It didn't happen as often as it used to, so he was interested. They almost didn't look the present time to him, confusing the view with a snapshot of the past. No, this wasn't a memory lapse. The two males were dressed oddly, but the car driving up proved this was happening now. Present... time. Maybe it wouldn't be a waste after all. It was his duty to make known his presence and situation, especially when at first his spirit had been plain stubborn in anger. When his and his mother and sister needed it most. Calvin didn't want to haunt the living at all, let alone for eternity.

Waiting for them all to enter, he observed them in their gathering at the door. The energy levels weren't usual, which lifted Calvin.
If these people weren't completely dumb... they could potentially help him.

Things always seemed different with Kier. Billie wasn't your average female. Sure, she was obviously into makeup. But she didn't tend to stick to the rest of the stuff that most girls her age did. She wasn't into drinking, not really, or any girly films or the generally bitchiness of being a female. She liked spending her time with Kier. They understood each other on a different level. They both knew what they wanted from life, and they were both willing to do whatever it takes to get it. "I've got glue all over my hands.." She waved her fingers at Kier, before picking off the loose bits of glue, throwing them out of the car window.

She leaned forward at his mention of people being at the mansion. She was slightly jealous of anybody who had been in there! She had always wanted to take a look inside, just to see if it really was creepy, or if it was just a run down building. "Yes! Let's go scare some people!" She grinned, dimples forming at either side of her mouth. Since she had been studying at Metric, the mansion was one place she had been dying to see inside. She just had never been brave enough to go in by herself. Surely now, that there were two other people about to go in, maybe she could snoop around, too?

She got out of the car, closing the door quietly. The two shadows, who she had worked out to be male, didn't seem too bothered at the fact somebody else had arrived. A shiver took over her - a mixture of the cold air, the excitement that she might finally be able to get a look inside, and also a little bit of nerves! She took hold of Kier's hand whilst they made their way closer to the doors. They definitely couldn't scare the gents, as they had already noticed them. "Hey, guys." Her voice echoed slightly in the empty air. "Are you actually going inside?" She raised her eyebrow slightly, but her face was full of mischief. "I soooooo wanna go inside there!" She looked at Kier, before looking back at the two men. "Room for two little ones?" Maybe just one little one. Billie-Jean was tiny, compared to Kier. She noticed them struggling slightly with the lock. She pulled a hair pin from the back of her hair, twiddling it in the lock until eventually, it made a click. "Open sesame."

Theo quickly froze as a couple approached them. They didn't look like they were ones to rat people out, so Theo kept it cool and waited to see what this pair was all about. The smaller one of the two finally spoke, "Why hey there, me and my buddy were actually planning on going inside. You're welcome to join us." Theo replied with a goofy grin. These two seemed harmless, especially when the girl had jimmied the lock and gotten the door open.

"Damn, you're some sort of magician." Theo laughed as he led the way into the creepy mansion, immediately feeling the air grow cold. He turned to Wade, "Yo man, where should we start setting up our gadgets?" He asked as he started unloading his bag, "Names Theo by the way, this is my main man Wade." Theo added, introducing himself to their new friends.

x

Kier gave Billie's hand a tight squeeze, welcoming the feeling of her small warm hand in his. The two were such good friends that Kier didn't want to risk losing Billie over his feelings for her. Sometimes he wondered if she knew how much he liked her, but he shook the thought as they followed the two guys into the mansion. It was definitely creepy alright, this time he moved his hand from Billie's to wrap his arms protectively around his small friend's waist.

His interest peaked when Theo mentioned setting up equipment. Were they going to conduct an investigation? That was pretty damn cool. "I'm Kier, and this cute little gal here is Billie-Jean." Kier said, introducing himself and Billie.

Calvin was actually entertained as he loomed over the four, watching as they all congregated on the porch, mainly interested in girl who pick locked the door. Thinking back, had he seen any girl with hair that color? No, no, surely not. They all introduced themselves, and Calvin listened - attributing each of their names with their faces. Billie-Jean was easy to remember. It was beautiful. The other ones though? They were all so short and jumbled that he just decided to stick with the first letter of them.

W and T were too strange to him, they had this light to them which was hard to overlook. No way were they saints, or holy men, not by a long shot. Still, he'd have to be sure to focus on them. There was K too. Calvin didn't much care for him. It was certainly jealousy, but Calvin ignored his blaring logic of the matter and swept in to the house to meet them inside.

---

Wade followed along and nodded to the couple once Theo made the introductions, they looked like nice enough kids. Maybe he'd try out a few harmless tricks for them, just in the case that the haunted house was nothing more than an empty rickety house with an urban legend fixed to it. They'd still all get a laugh and all go home feelin' groovy.

It was nice to see another couple just getting in to cool things, no matter where he went when Wade saw a couple now he automatically thought of him and Summer. He smiled, still lifted from the joint him and Theo had been sharing. "It's amazing how we all just sorta gathered here, far out synchronicity style." He helped Theo arrange the equipment that he was unloading. "With any luck maybe we'll all get spooked out."

---

It was the cue that Calvin was waiting for. At that moment he pushed his little sisters' rubber ball down the stairway, deciding to keep it subtle at first. He wanted these kids to stick around and see what they all came here for, because it made for an even greater possibility that they could do more for him than scream and run away. He had to be friendly, he wanted to! Though he didn't like the way K was holding Billie-Jean's hand. He'd oversee it, for the greater good. The ball bounced loud enough to garner attention - plus it could draw them upstairs, which would make for a promising start.

She grinned, placing the hair pin back into her hair. At only 4'11", people doubted her a lot. They thought of her as some cutesy, fairy princess. She was cute, and she probably did act like a princess at times. But she was way more into the dark side of things. She hated being under-estimated. "Hair grips are magic, not me. I just know how to use them." She winked at the guy who called himself Theo.

She liked the feel of Kier's hand around her waist. She knew that he had more than just friendly feelings for her. She found him incredibly attractive, but she definitely didn't want to lose him as a friend if anything went wrong if they were to be in a relationship. "You can call me Billie, Bills, or even BJ if you want." She knew some people struggled with her name. Not that it was difficult or anything, just that some people felt like it was too formal to call her both of her names. She stood back to watch her two new friends set up the 'equipment'. They looked absolutely high as kites, but she didn't really mind. She was cool with entertaining their little game. "So, have you guys ever actually been in he..."

Her words trailed off as she heard a noise coming from above her. "Woah..." She pointed to the steps, where the rubber ball bounced it's way down. It came to a halt just to the left of her shoes. She bent down to pick it up, holding her back of her skirt to cover her dignity. "Georgia.." She mused, the name written across the ball. She wasn't sure if it was somebody's name, or where it had come from. She began to climb up the stairs, practically jogging her way up. She had to see what was up there! "Come on, guys!"
Her pastel hair floated behind her shoulders, a slight draft coming from the floor above her.

"Right on Kier and Billie. Welcome to the ghost hunt extravaganza." Theo concluded happily to the pair that had joined him and Wade. As if on perfect timing Theo heard the same slight thud that Billie had heard and his eyes immediately fell to the ball that had rolled down the stairs. He looked to Wade, giving him a tripped out expression. This wasn't either of their antics.

Theo immediately whipped out a camera from his bag and started snapping away in the direction of where the ball had came from.

Before Theo could share his photo findings with the group, Billie had already reached the top of the stairs followed close by Kier and Wade. He quickly joined the group and looked around the creepy hallway that they had entered.

"Dude, check this out." He whispered to Wade as he held the camera out to him. There was some sort of orb apparaition that seemed to come from right on top of the stairs.

After he had given Wade some time to examine the photo, he realized that this could be a trick of the high-eye, so he wanted two most likely sober people to check it out. "Guys, check this out?" This time he held the camera out to Kier.

x

As soon as they had entered the house, Kier didn't want to admit to feeling like he was watched, but once something paranormal had happened it was a definite given. There was something in there with them. Something otherworldly was at play right now and it was trying to contact them. "I wonder if Georgia is the one trying contact us?" Kier wondered aloud, he was the first one to follow Billie up the stairs. Grabbing her hand once again, part of him felt the duty to protect her because he cared so much about her.

The energy seemed a lot different upstairs. If Kier had felt like he was being watched before, it was even more prominent now. As soon as everyone was situated upstairs, Theo handed Kier a camera and he observed the image. It looked like some sort of misty orb.

"We're seeing the same thing here, right?" Kier asked, pointing to the spot where the orb showed up.

Almost directly where the four were standing. Theo nodded and Kier's mouth widened slightly, Billie had to see this! "Billie, tell me that isn't an orb right where we're standing." He mentioned as he handed her the camera.

Wade was immediately concerned when the ball came tumbling down, mirroring his bro's look. He for sure didn't do that. As Billie and Kier took off in that direction Wade followed suit in a slinking stride, just as interested in figuring out who or what had just made the disturbance. He felt a shift of cold and a stark absence of chill vibes. It put him a little on edge, enough to realize that he should from now on keep on his toes. Even if it was someone pulling a prank on them, he wasn't about to play the fool.

Then Theo showed him his findings, which caused his arm hairs to stand on end. "We're really dealing with something here, aren't we?" he exhaled, letting the other two take a good look, before noticing movement in his periphery. His eyes widened at the sight. "Uh, guys... check it!" his pointer directed toward a door, slowly opening, beckoning them all over. He took the preliminary steps from the coldness, realizing that the temperature did not fluctuate as he did so.

---

Calvin had to guide the ball to reach Billie-Jean's foot, but it was worth it. Once she picked it up and looked to the staircase he knew she'd lead them up. He floated up the stair slowly, easing upwards directly before her as she ran up the steps. He was perplexed by her features and presentation, far more interesting than her male counterparts, which were of interest too but, well, Calvin couldn't help but want to guide her instead.

As the others gathered behind her, Calvin took the initiative, moving from them and their technology - lingering before the upstairs library, waiting until the opportune moment to slowly pull open the expansive room's door. He glared at K and his guesswork. Right then he knew he'd have to make it clear who it was they were dealing with. As he opened the door, he heard W's reaction. It was all working pretty perfectly, they were putty in his intangible hands.

Though it was incredibly vacant and dusty, the shelves were as stocked as they'd always been. He made sure the repo people couldn't enter the room, and with a few good scares, they'd left it alone. All fuel for the urban legends. In the prime of his afterlife he guarded this room with all the novice power he could. It used to be his favorite room, where he spent most of his free time - reading and taking notations from the variety of old tomes that lined every wall but the one containing the huge bay windows, now closed off and tied shut with the tassels attached to the dusty curtains blocking the outside light.

Calvin watched as they all entered warily, pulling out one book of his at a time and letting them slap hard against the floor. This was fun. Though T seemed to be snapping pictures left and right, Cal paid no mind. Maybe it'd even help? He pulled a larger tome from a high shelf near K, wanting to give him a good scare as it missed him and landed at his feet. Amused, he set about opening the books upon the floor - flipping through their pages - all of them inscribed in his own hand with notations along the margins. Each cover had his name proudly stamped within, which he hoped would clue them in that he wasn't his sister. He was Calvin E. Powell.

With the ball still in her hands, Billie-Jean looked around the long hallway at the top of the stairs. The boys were busy with their cameras and there wasn't much Billie could do to help them. She was still quite shocked they had actually brought cameras and other equipment with them. They were either super serious into the paranormal, or they were just a little bit weird. Either way, she found them both pretty cool!

The house creaked as she walked softly along the wooden floorboards. It must have been years since this house was actually last used. Since it last had laughter in it. Since it last had children running around the rooms. Since the family had sat around a table eating dinner together. The only things that looked like they lived here now were the spiders. Dust covered every surface, like a sheet of snow. It made her nose itchy. Before she knew it, a sneeze had escaped. It seemed to echo around, bouncing off the walls. "Bless me." She continued to wander down the long hallway. The window frames were rotten where the water seeped in over time.

She began to make her way back to the group as she heard them talking about orbs and other creepy stuff. Taking the camera from Kier's hands, she zoomed in on what the boys had asked her to look at. "So right here, where I'm standing" she pointed to the floor beneath her feet. "There was an orb?" She questioned, a grin spreading across her face. "Take a photo of me! See if there's any still here!" She struck a pose, her hand on her hip, laughing. She wasn't being serious at all. She was just trying to have fun with these guys.

The door opened by itself. Well. Not by itself. There had to be something or someone else in here doing that. It opened into a library. A huge library. It had a damp smell - the books along with the walls and carpets damp from being here for so long. A book hitting the floor made her jump. A cloud of dust exploded out of the book, before several more clouds followed along. There were several books all landing around Kier's feet. She wasn't really scared, more fascinated. She wanted to know who was in here and why they were trapped in here! She picked up one of the books, blowing the dust away, wiping it with her hand. "Hey, there's a name in here!"

"We gotta figure out what we're dealing with!" Theo commented excitedly. The camera flashed in Billie's direction as Theo took a picture of the posed girl. She didn't seem to be taking this too serious which was the perfect attitude to help balance out how tripped out Theo and Wade were. A creaking sound caught Theo's attention, he spun around to investigate where the sound came from. Holy shit, the door had opened by itself?! His curiosity over-took his fear of the situation and he nudged Wade before eagerly following Billie into the room. It appeared to be a giant library.

As if things couldn't get any weirder, books began to fall from the shelves. Clouds of dust appeared from the old musty books and Theo took the incentive to catch this on camera. He began snapping photos wildly until the books stopped falling.

Theo leaned over Billie's shoulder as she wiped the dust away from one of the books. "Calvin E. Powell...Duuuuuuuuuude........" Was all Theo could say as his voice trailed off.

x

Kier wished that he had the same confidence as Billie in this situation, but he was putting up a front by acting like this didn't phase him. It was super interesting to him, and there was a rush of adrenaline from ghost hunting, but it was also pretty scary. He chuckled nervously as Theo took his pictures of Billie and the area around them.

At Wade's comment, Kier's eyes followed the group's eyes to a door that had opened. The hair on the back of his neck stood on an end. Hesitantly he followed everyone into a creepy dank room. If things couldn't any creepier, books began to fly off of the shelves. Kier jumped as a heavy book landed before him, almost hitting him on the way down.

He made his way closer to Billie, who seemed excited about this activity. When Theo read the name from the book, it all made sense. They were dealing with the ghost of Calvin E. Powell.

Wade was pretty cautious with this paranormal activity. After all, he didn't expect this place to actually be haunted - let alone for them to be contacted by whatever this ghosty thing was that was obviously guiding their attention. "...It doesn't seem like it's trying to kick us out, that's a good thing at least?" Though he wasn't sure, he was still pretty curious - following Billie and Theo's lead in to the seriously impressive and dusty library. There were so many books and cool shit in there it was crazy. Everything else in the place had pretty much been emptied... so he got the feeling that this was something extra special.

The stale air of the expanse was so thick. Though his trouble getting in decently breathable air was quickly interrupted by the series of falling books. "Tripped... out..." he gaped around, watching how they were seemingly pulled out by the spirit of whatever led them in. He had to laugh at his bro's photo spree, raising his arm to cover his mouth and nose as the dust rose, then settled. Wade perked in interest as Billie called out her observation.

He maneuvered over and joined Theo in reading the name, sort of echoing it, "Calvin E. Powell, eh?" He spoke aloud, his left hand in the pocket of his shorts - clutching on to his wrap of stones that not only protected him, it would aid in his communication with the spirit. If he knew anything about the spirit realm, he knew the dead dude would probably like being talked to as if he were there with them... living style. “So then Calvin, why did you bring us up here man?” Wade asked, scanning the room with his eyes for any more motion.

---

Calvin couldn't be more interested with this group than right now. They weren't anything like the mediums and detectives that had been snooping around during the years after his death. They'd only been trying to find their bodies, just trying to close a case. They weren't out to really help him or his innocent mother and sister. But he was sure these people were different. They weren't doing this for money, if they were they'd look the part. They seemed like they genuinely just wanted to find something beyond their expectations, and Calvin was obliged to give them that, in return for their assistance.

He made no more disturbances as they gathered around the book, reading his name aloud. With each time it was spoken, he felt an increase in energy. Their attention... gave him substance. It encouraged him to answer the question of W. He wondered, how could he do this, without scaring them off? Then it came to him.

Suddenly, he drew back the large tapestries. The dust and the sunlight intermingled, hinting at his thin silhouette as he ran his finger against the dusty windowpane. Need help. he wrote, moving upwards to a bookshelf which held a dusty portrait of himself. He drifted down with it, to hover in front of Billie-Jean. He looked over her features, drifting through the photo to occupy the space between her and the object. He could almost feel the sensation of warmth emanating from her, but no, that couldn't be. He hadn't felt anything in ages. Say my name. Say my name. Say my name. he wrote smaller, upon the pane of the picture frame for her to see. If the first two times had given him even the slightest of substance, maybe if they all said it he could appear to them. It was worth a shot.

Her heart was racing, but in a good way. The blood was pumping through her veins as fast as a roller coaster in a theme park, and Billie felt like she was in a movie. Not like a girly, romantic, lovey dovey movie. Not even a scary movie. But an action movie! She expected that any time now she was going to have to do a backflip over the table and fight off some bad guys. And she totally loved it! She loved the unexpected and the freaky stuff! This was so exciting to her. As much as she knew it was probably just the adrenaline making things seem a little bit strange, she didn't care. She loved how the night was going and she was so glad that Kier had the idea to go out.

She felt Kier to the side of her and she took his hand into hers. "Are you okay?" She whispered, leaning closer to him. She knew he wasn't as brave as he made out to be, but she wasn't about to call him out on it. She wasn't about embarrassing people, especially not Kier. He had been nothing but amazing to her and she completely loved him to pieces. "If you're not, just say so, okay? Don't put on a brave face if this isn't cool with you." If he wasn't okay with this, then she was fine with leaving the house with Kier right now.

She read the name in sync with Theo, a grin on her face. "Calvin? I wonder what he wants from us." She instinctively thought that he needed help or something. Not that he was a mean, creepy ghost. Surely if that was the case, he would have been trying to scare them from the minute the entered this house?

Wade began to talk to Calvin and Billie began to pace forwards. Wade definitely seemed like the best person of their little group to speak to Calvin. He seemed like he had a way with words and being high was probably helping that for him. Billie was a couple of steps away from the windows, just as the curtains were yanked open. It made her jump, a small gasp coming from her mouth. "Shiiiiiiiit." Her heart was pounding, but she began to laugh. She wasn't easily scared, but that had definitely made her jump. The particles of dust from the sudden change in movement danced around the air like little fairies, almost as if a huge dandelion had been blown in the room. Her eyes focused on the windowpane. She was sure she could see something there. Not a person, but not a shadow. Her eyes had to be playing tricks on her.

She noticed the words on the windowpane. She didn't know if they were there before the curtains opened or not. After all, she couldn't see them before. But something told her they were new words. After all, they would have gotten dusty over time. Dusty enough to probably blend back into the windowpane. As the frame moved from the bookshelf, the hairs on the nape of her neck felt like they were standing tall. She took a deep breath, but her lungs felt as if nothing was entering them. Nothing but dust, anyway. The frame was just inches away from her, and she reached out to grab a hold of it. "This has to be him. This has to be Calvin." Her voice was mellow. The boy in this picture can't have been any older than this bunch of misfits were now. She began to wonder what had happened to him. For him to be trapped in this house, all alone. Her eyes focused on the words that were being written on the frame. "Calvin E. Powell. Calvin E. Powell. Calvin E. Powell."
