ꜱʜʀɪᴍᴘ?
The Agents filed in two by two through the thick double doors. Per the rules of the contract, all Agencies had to enter at the same time. Carnegie had been there since noon, who knows why, and Rockport had been waiting with them for the last of the LanternLight crew to arrive. They did, just as dusk was approaching. No one stopped to set their bags down as the lawyer greeted them in the foyer. Instead, they each scanned the first floor for a base of operations. LanternLights took the kitchen, Carnegie the living room, and Rockport the dining room. Supplies in place, they all met back in the main hall. The greeting was a bit more brisk this time.


"Gentlemen," he began in a crisp tone, "Welcome to Ravenswood. I am Mister Carmichael, and I am here to ensure that all terms of this...
unique contract are met perfec-"

A Rockport raised her hand, tone incredulous. "S'cuse me. You ain't telling me you intend to spend the night here? As a civilian?"

Carmichael continued unperturbed, "Are met perfectly. And yes, I think it will be rather difficult to attend to my duties out of doors, if it's all the same to you."

A Carnegie employee cut in. "It isn't. Excuse me, Mister Carmichael, this is not exactly the safest place in the world to be. It's a serious liability, and it wasn't in the contract."

Carmichael's thin-lipped smile was as terrifying as any spectre. "Well, sir, I assure you it was. Perhaps you
missed it. Besides, with fifteen agents all in one space, where else could I be safer?" The Carnegie group huddled up and began muttering amonst themselves. This was definitely not their style.

After a moment, silence fell again on the hall. The sun was setting fast, especially for Spring. "Well then," began Carmichael, "presuming there aren't anymore objections, I presume we all get started." Without warning, the lights started to flicker.







The Agents were trained for this sort of situation, of course, but even so this attack caught them off guard. Usually there were warning signs, some hints laid out beforehand. By the time they had found their Senses, the light show was over and Carmichael was dead. He was torn apart at several angles, with piercing wounds on his chest and thick slashes across his arms. His face was swollen, it looked to be Ghost Touch.

They all burst into speech at once. "This is impossible!" "It has to be one of us!" "Rapiers, ready!"

"Shut it!" A LanternLight screamed. Everyone stopped, for the moment.

She surveyed the room, eyes flicking from person to person. "This isn't impossible for a ghost. It could be possession."

Someone in the room laughed. Another Rockport spoke up, "Yeah, but, right at dusk? Before it's even dark? Within minutes? And
possession? It's just not possible."

"It is," she said quietly, "For a Type 3." Suddenly, the room was silent.

A deep voice rang out from the Carnegie crew. "Type 3 or no, we're not leaving." The Rockports grunted in assent. The LanternLight crew seemed to collectively shrug. The money really was very good.

"Okay," the voice continued, "Standard operating procedure. Find the source, destroy it, don't die. Except," he paused thoughtfully, "Keep an eye on your mates. Can't trust anyone, we gotta all work together if we're going to walk away."

Lamps were lit, plans were laid, Carmichael had silver coins laid over his eyes and a handful of iron filing shoved into his mouth. Teams set up to patrol the house, looking for the source of whatever dark power had made its home here.

Common misconception. When Zealand's son, Zealand Jr., lost a game of knifey spoony, he was banned from Australia, as per custom. So he formed a new "nation" called Zealand Jr. (it didn't catch on so they just call it New Zealand). However, this new "nation" is practically indistinguishable from Australia, as it is actually just some guy's small studio apartment, so New Zealand is pretty much Australia.

The capital of Australia is actually Denver, Colorado.
