I'm not crying! Tear-free! [ Wow, Ed, he thought you knew the sounds of his sobbing better. Bolin follows along... moderately easily. All things considered.

(So he'll cry later when he thinks someone's gonna die.) ]

Big place. Kind of abandoned Victorian-y. How are there so many abandoned creepy mansions in the world?

[ Vans are so much better than everything wow.

He's keeping an eye on their surroundings in the way that true cowards as related to ghosts do: a glance to spare for every exit, wafting curtain, and creamy floorboard. And a little looking to spare besides. It's always such a conundrum reconciling genuine terror with a lot of natural curiosity, but he tries. Ssssort of. ]

[equivalences]

[ 'For now' is Ed's mental reply to that. It's not a real 2spooky mystery until the buff guy starts wailing. ]

Those 'abandoned creepy mansions' give us work. [ So respect them, Bolin. They're the reason you can pig out on spinach noodles. They're the reason you can buy treats to train Pabu with.

The real question should be why two teenagers are depending on this kind of unstable freelance work to sustain themselves in the first place. Why aren't they in school? Where are their parents? We just don't know.

Ed considers suggesting they split up to cover more ground, but he also knows it's going to be a little hard peeling this large, easily-spooked dog-person off of him. Anyway, he doesn't have time to ponder that further, because the lights begin to flicker before going out completely.

Enjoy this pitch-blackness, homie. ] What the hell? What happened?

[bolincredible]

[ Don't think about their sad backstories and lack of formal education... it's okay... they're forging their own destinies. While their brothers are somewhere shaking their heads, probably.

AND BOLIN DOES NOT ENJOY THIS PITCH-BLACKNESS?? Allow him to demonstrate by literally hugging Ed in fear. Ohhh, he hates the ones that get his heart pounding this early in the investigation. ]

Well, I'm pretty sure we didn't go blind, if that helps. [ It's not that he's trying to act like he's not freaking out, so much. Because they both have enough working experience together to understand that he is freaked out right now. He just also thinks it might be important to establish their lack of likely blindness. It's the right thing to do.

Plus if he's talking, it doesn't leave an opening for any creepy whispers to float in. To hell with spooky whispering. That monthly quota got reached last week. ]

[equivalences]

[ And now they're back to square one. Ed has one cheek smushed against one very built pair of pectorals and the rest of him is encased in a tight hug. This time, it's a little hard to move, so he does protest against the clinging. ]

Not so hard, Bolin! I can't breathe! [ He finally pries the arm that's found its way around his nose off of him. ]

Do you have to do this every time? [ Though this time, it might make sense to stay huddled together in case one of them gets separated in the darkness. ]

[bolincredible]

I can't help it! You're the brave one and the smart one! If I don't stick to you, who can I even stick to? [ "stick to."

"attempt to strangle inadvertently."

it's all the same, right? ]

[equivalences]

I don't know why you're even so scared! You could just beat up whatever comes our way! [ For the 'smart one' Ed's way of dealing with problems sure is 'take it head-on and beat it up'. But yes, he has seen Bolin's shoulder-tackles, and they are gold-standard shoulder-tackles. Logically, there should be nothing that scares him. If Ed were of Bolin's height stature, he would be virtually unstoppable. ]

Just calm down. I think I have a torchlight. [ And he goes digging through his bag for said torchlight.

meanwhile, has pabu been awfully quiet or what... it's like he's disappeared or something ............2spooky ]

[bolincredible]

You can't beat up ghosts, Ed! That's why-- it's rule number one, you can't even touch them. [ That's why they are the scariest things in the entire world forever and no one can change his mind.

... Pabu is making a citizen's arrest, isn't he. :c ]

Can you hear anything that might be a trap door waiting to send us to our deaths, or that might be Pabu finding the fusebox?

[equivalences]

[ Ed is still pretty sure he can beat this ghost up. Especially since a lot of their cases have only turned out to be hoaxes so far. You can punch hoaxes. They're fleshy. So, as his mind of science and reason dictates, if something pops out at them, punch it until it can't move.

also spoiler while they were fumbling in the dark pabu already solved the mystery ]

I wouldn't be able to hear any of those things -- [ No, seriously, please tell him he brought that flashlight because pitch darkness with a side of clingy musclehead is just not his style. ] Wait, Pabu knows how to work a fusebox?

[ That fire ferret never ceases to amaze. Also, he finally found that flashlight so things are looking up too!! Ed flicks it on. ]

[bolincredible]

[ Oh thank god a flashlight. Literally the most relieved sigh in the world. And the real perk is it means that death grip loosens up just a little.

Talking about Pabu is a pretty big help. ]

Well, yeah. I wasn't gonna let the little guy go around solving mysteries unprepared. Ghosts are bad enough without electrical problems on top of it. [ What kind of ferret dad would he even be. ]

[equivalences]

[ Ed actually finds that really impressive. He rarely gives Bolin much credit for anything (wow Ed you're a shit), but he might have quite a talent for this. ]

You're -- pretty good. [ Comes the rather absent-minded compliment. Compliments from Ed are like elusive unicorns. ] At this training thing.

[ Why isn't Bolin doing that for money instead ... Why is he snooping around and solving mysteries 2spoopy ... No one knows.

Okay, it doesn't actually sound like Pabu is working the fusebox so they might have to find it themselves. It's probably in the basement?? ] We should head down to the basement.

[ which sounds like the best idea ever ]

[bolincredible]

Well, Pabu liked having a little direction, you know? [ It's all part of Bolin's long quest to find true happiness or his long-lost brother or whatever the hell gets people into mystery-solving these days.

He's taking that compliment and keeping it right in his proverbial pocket for a rainy day, Ed. Thank u. That means he probably has to immediately take it back out of his pocket so he can screw his face up and remember that he voluntarily does this for a living. ]

I guess- I guess that is better than getting knocked out and waking up down there. With a creepy headless woman hovering over us.

[equivalences]

[ one day we should actually think about their backstories. it's like the real scooby-doo show where we don't actually know anything about the characters' lives. ]

Yeah. [ If Bolin was trying to look on the bright side, Ed tramples on that too. ] And if we find her there, we can close this case quickly and get paid.

[bolincredible]

When is there gonna be a way to find all the missing kids without having to get chased around by a ghost? [ Yeah we should probably think about it someday. The mysterious spoopy backstory syndrome.

Just leave room on your coat sleeve for him to grab... if he believes hard enough, they can totally survive this creepy deadly mansion. ]
