Frankly, I don't know anyone who likes Chinese bronzes, but I have one of the finest collections in the country.
Hey, how's it going thread?

C. Just go observe the thing. Voting B, although I'd like to, just seems silly as we have no idea if it would work. I'm pretty sure conversation isn't Morgan's go-to solution though, and there's little else to choose in the absence of any further information, so ... let's go get some more.

I am happy for you.

You walk through the countryside on the southern outskirts of the city. Winter has ended and the day is pleasant, it doesn’t take you long to reach the lake.

Its more of a large pond than a lake, there is a small fence that blocks it from the country lane you are walking on. You have a good look around but no sign of a ghost appears anywhere. You and Mr B settle in and wait for something to happen.

You wait for about an hour before you see another person, a man pulls up in his car and gets out. All while screaming down his phone.

“YOU ARE NOT TAKING THE KIDS MARGARET!”

There is a mumbling from the phone.

“I DON’T CARE WHAT YOUR LAWYERS SAID I EARN ALL THE MONEY! I PROVIDE FOR YOU ALL! YOU DON’T GET TO LEAVE ME!”

More mumbling.

“Look Margaret I’m sorry for shouting but you can’t leave me baby you are all I have.”

You can make out a clear “gently caress you!” from the phone.

“WELL gently caress YOU TOO BITCH!”

With that the man throws the phone into the lake. He punches the fence a few times and then looks around. He looks straight pass you and starts sobbing.

He cries for a while sobbing into his sleeve. Eventually he stops and stands up. “gently caress that bitch. Taking my money.Taking my Kids. I know what will make her really sorry.” With that he jumps the fence and walks down into the lake.

As he steps through the lake the water both moves in his wake and doesn’t. It doesn’t take long for him to drown, you look away and notice that the car he drove up in is now gone. You feel a little worse, despair is slowly starting to scratch at your chest.

You wait another hour and the car pulls up again. The Ghost goes through the motions again. The wording changes a little but the actions are the same, he shouts, he sobs, he drowns. You watch the routine throughout the day, he doesn’t come every hour some times its longer, the largest gap is three hours. It gets to early evening and you have spent the day sitting by the lake, you did bring some food with you but you haven't eaten. Despair and anger claw in your insides this is not the worst you have ever felt, but it is getting close.


[b]With the knowledge you have learnt thus far how do you plan to deal with the ghost?

You have read the basics of magic, You can ask questions of yourself and I will treat it like remembering the book.{/b]

An updated list of useful things you have on you. I cut out your clothing because it wasn’t needed.

Mr Belvedere

A small mirror lay you found on the factory floor.

A stick, burnt at both ends and a weaving pattern carved into it.
A jam jar containing the soul of Hatty.
The two pegs you found on the floor.
The small mirror you found on the floor.
The knife you claimed from the creature.

The bracelet given to you by Mrs Ennis.
A bottle with the face of a creature on the label. It is wrapped in string that is tied in a intricate knot by Charlie.

Offer to let Kreacher-inna-bottle eat the ghost in exchange for owing us another service.

The thing eats negative emotions; ghosts are basically pure negative emotions according to the druid.

This makes a good plan because we'll eventually stab and eat Dobby anyway, so fattening him up as an emergency food supply is the reasonable thing to do.

This makes sense, but we should ask for more than one service this time. We've got the upper hand here and its not like it was doing well for itself when we found it.

That makes sense, I think I proposed something similar before. "Ok buddy, you can do this one thing and sod off, or you can vow to serve me an ride the gravy train of misery I'll be leaving in my wake. What's it going to be?"

If he just wants to GTF away from us I proposed we eat him, take his power and eat the misery-ghost ourselves.

v Correct! He knows what we did, if there was an issue he would have told us.

Our new mentor/boss never told us not to eat magical creatures we don't understand, right? So that's practically an endorsement to eat all the things.
