So a doctor and a soldier walk into a haunted house...
[ A: Setup ]
[ Why... whatever could Bruce and Steve be doing hauling this very large box up the road? They can’t possibly be moving out, can they? ]
[ B: Phone ]
[ There seems to be a distressed voice on the other end... a distressed voice that is extremely overacted and melodramatic. There’s some sort of ambient noise playing in the background that sounds oddly like a recording, and someone keeps breathing into the phone to make it sound like static. They’re not very good at making this sound realistic. ]
It’s Dr. Banner... it’s awful...! I can’t save him on my own. I need your help. Meet me at 627 Topper!
--Oh, are you doing it already? Ahh, help me! I’m being kidnapped by ghosts! And... evil scientists! And some witches I guess. Only you and anyone else in the neighborhood can save me!
[ C: Entrance ]
[ Upon approaching the house, there seems to be a scarecrow on the front porch. It seems like a dummy until she smiles and offers you crazy kids some lemonade with a drop of grenadine in it (some sort of jokes about drones and dummies goes here). When you're inside, there are sheets hanging up all over the place to look like ghosts, along with pumpkins and really fake-looking rubber bats and cotton balls stretched out to look like cobweb. There are arrows leading you in the right direction. But before you get that far, one very disheveled-looking Steve stands in your way. ]
Thank goodness you’re here! He’s upstairs. Hurry, we don’t have long. And watch out for the witch...!
[ D: The Kitchen ]
[ In the kitchen, they’ve dimmed the lights and hung fake cobwebs everywhere, along with inaccurately-drawn hammer-and-sickle posters. A big book has a piece of paper taped over the title to read THE EVERYDAY COMMUNIST WITCH’S COOKBOOK: I’LL GET YOU, MY COMRADE, AND YOUR LITTLE FREEDOM TOO! There’s a pot of green water (literally just water and food dye) bubbling on the stove, with another drone wife dressed in a black witch costume and hat. Should you enter, she’ll smile and offer you finger food, and then make some obviously-rehearsed comment about what an evil communist she is. ]
[ E: The Landing ]
[ There’s a blacklight up here so you might be glowing if you’re wearing white, or if you smile... The walls are covered in dark paper from the hardware store, save for a few cutouts made to look like eyes peering on. There’s also a large stuffed doll out here, much too cute to be a monster, holding up a sign that says “HE’S OVER THERE” in extremely spooky font. There are sounds coming from within a room at the end of the hall, but you’ll have to get through some darkness first... ]
[ F: Upstairs ]
[ The hallway up to the bedroom is rigged so lines of sheetghosts on rope move as you pass, and they’ve managed to get ahold of some dry ice. The skeleton from the high-school science class is there, but they’ve wrapped him in a labcoat to make it less frightening. Only one door is open, and it looks like they’ve set it up like a lab. There’s a stereotypical setup of strange-looking liquids in scientific jars on a metal table, with a very fake-looking dummy on an operating table covered in a sheet. There are labeled bowls of skinned grapes and cold spaghetti to serve as fake eyes and brains-- but they don’t look too realistic, because that would be a little too scary! Ignoring the laboratory stuff, this room appears to be Steve’s bedroom, and it doesn’t look like they put much effort into hiding it. Bruce is hiding not-so-subtly in the closet. ]

[and he tries to readjust his hold on the box, because some people aren't absurdly buff for no reason, Steve.]
Re: [A]
[ That's... that's why he has these guns, right? ]
Re: [A]
This should be pretty fun, it was a good idea.

E - Aw yisss
More odd is the fact that he can't recall ever seeing a haunted house before, which is more or less why he came in the first place. As he looks over himself though, he seems to frown. Strange- Why...
Why does this seem familiar?
He holds his head a moment before turning to focus on the sign, and looks down the hall. Quite dark over there...
Better start walking...
Re: E - DUMB HALLOWEEN THINGS
[Still, they set up this haunted house for the kids, so he tugs on the rope to make the ghosts sway, making dumb OOOOOO~ noises from the closet.]
YES GOOD. astralyoucoward-
"NGH-" Astral being Astral is apparently alarmed by the simplest of things, stumbling back once the noises start coming from the closet.
...Go figure, he's more afraid of what he doesn't see in the closet than he is of the ghosts. "...Hello?" he calls out, slowly making his way in that direction.

[He rustles around in the closet anyway, noises that are more clumsy than scary.]

[E]
She'd come because this sort of thing would have been fun for Raz, and Quinn might have enjoyed it as well, but stepping inside makes her falter, rocking on her heels as she hesitantly lifts a hand to rub her forehead.
No, that...can't be right why does she remember...No. Must've been a dream.
But for a split instant the scarecrow and the decor had almost made her see a hall that was in severe disrepair, with stomach-churning stains and a horrible whispering that was always at the edge of hearing. The memory was wiped away with a sharp stab of pain, gone faster than she could attempt to sort it out.
She stands on the landing, wavering, her face going pale as she tries to sort herself out.]
He who, I wonder...? Hmm.
Re: [E]
Hey, Mika, are you alright?
[ He moves the plush doll aside ]
Take a seat; I'll get you some milk.
[E]
[Only she's not okay, she's--crazy--no, that's not right. Making a very soft sound of distress, she rubs her forehead before sinking into the chair in silence. What was wrong with her? She didn't understand.
The sound of her tail thumping against the chair made her wince, but she offered him a small smile.]
Thank you, Steve. I really appreciate all the help.

Beast Boy frowns and crosses his arms. Gee whiz, it probably wasn't any of his business. That's what the good ol' police-fellas were for, right? But... He should... really try and do something........ because..................
The part of his brain that process conscious action doesn't quite hold up. When next he snaps to, he's in front of 627 Topper with a baseball bat.]
H-Huh... Hey, Mr. Rogers! What's wrong?
Re: [C]
[ He's not a very good actor, Beast Boy... ]

[Beast Boy blinks to himself a few times in astonishment.]
...Haha, yeah, right, that's a panic 'n' a half! There's no such thing as aliens. ...Right?

Don't worry, it's just me.
Re: E
No, it's good ghost stuff!

Need a hand with that?
Re: A
I'd appreciate it! I'm just heading up the road there.
[and he jerks his head towards Steve's house, where Steve's already got a head start with his own box.]
