        Floyd was fighting with the ghosts as ghosts begged to be let free from him "Okay, ghosties. Fork over the mirror fragments, OR ELSE.". Ghosts tried to get away as fast as possible " We already gave you every fragment we have! There is no more to give!" . Floyd:
- Oh yeah? Then how about you show me what's in your hands.

       Ghost said "But. . . ". Floyd scared them with one glare that made him look mad " Tryin' to pull a fast one on me, HUH?". Ghosts pleaded for help. Ace shocked :
- Floyd keeps going after the ghosts to shake them down, and they just run away screaming.

     Leona sighs annoyed "I know I said we should swipe the fragments from the ghosts and keep moving forward. But. . . I never said to do THIS!". Floyd :
- What'sa matter? This is what I normally do to punks who don't hold up their end of a deal. Besides, if the ghosts startle me, I'll get possessed like Crabby did, right? Way I see it, why not scare the ghosts instead? Hit them before they hit us.

        Ace eyes widened " You are not scaring them, you are TERRORIZING them! This is overboard by any standard! Now look! They are all hiding from us!". Leona looks pissed :
- We don't have time to search for ghost's who've gone invisible. Way to make our job harder. We could have swept all of em at once if we'd just used Spikey as bait.

        Ace smiles and yelps after realizing it "Yeah, we should totally use Spikey- wait, is that ME?! I didn't sign up to be bait!". Leona :
- Fine, then I am going alone. You guys can groom your own tails.

      Ace just drags himself behind Leona " I didn't sign up for that either! You can't leave me, Leona!" . Leona tries to push Ace off of him "Hey, quit clinging to me!". Floyd:
- What, you don't like my company, Crabby? You callin' me unreliable? I am pretty strong guy, y'know.

       Ace " No, I mean. . . That's true, but. . . " . Leona chuckles "Pfft. Can't blame Spikey for hesitating.". Floyd gets offended "Excuse me?". Leona:
- Do I have to spell it out? Your strength is inconsistent at best, and there's no predicting where your mood'll take you. Doesn't matter if you are a bishop or a knight. If you don't stick to your role on the chess board, they you are a liability. A game piece that moves unpredictably is worth less than the herbivore.

        Floyd laughed " Ahahaha. You are one to talk, Sea Lion. It doesn't matter how strong you are if you never DO anything. Seems to me like you'd do better as a bait." . So basically tension was thick, Ace:
- Uh. . . Heeey, look! There is a weird door in this cave! That's gotta be worth checking out! How about we head on over before our group implodes, okay? C'mon, guys!

         Leona glares at Floyd ". . . Tch. I guess you  could use that needlessly huge body of yours to ward off some ghosts.". Floyd :
- Be careful not to take any of your catnaps, Sea Lion. Wouldn't wanna get possessed in your sleep, right?

      Ace sighs " Sheeesh. . . These guys are like oil and water. I'd take the teapot tyrant any day! Oh, Housewarden Riddle, if only you could get me out of this mess!" . As they open the door with a yellow light surroundings change, Ace:
- Whoa, where are we? Gee, you think a GAZILLION window was enough? And you can see the moon through all of 'em! This is definitely not a cave!

        Leona shrugs "Common sense doesn't really apply in the Spectral Realm. Don't freak out over every little change of scenery. Unless you wanna get possessed again.". Floyd looking around bored:
- There is buncha big machines here. Looks like they are still running. Whaddaya think they are for?

          Leona shakes his head :
- Beats me. I don't see any ghosts so far. . . But there is no telling how long it'll take us to reach the 'Boss's' Halloween party. It'd be idiotic to run around slinging magic without good reason. You'd build up needless amounts of blot. So let's be efficiently hunting these ghosts, and get ourselves more mirror fragments.
