Explain It Like I'm Tree

Blog Entry 1

Back In Business!

Well! Looks like it's been, what, six months since this blog updated? Hard to believe. Time flies and it's hard to keep all the balls in the air. We'll get better at juggling everything in time. Practice makes perfect, yeah?

Towards that end, Vivi turned the blog over to me. She feels it would be best for her to focus on the research and action side of things, and Arthur has enough on his plate without adding "social media guru" to his resume. So, for now, I'm your eye-in-the-sky, reporting on the cases and current problems they're tackling.

Who am I? Let's just call me Mod Skull for now. After all, what are the Mystery Skulls without a touch of mystery?

Previously, this blog has been a place for us to talk at you. More of a portfolio of our exploits with a contact form, in case you have a tip or want to hire us. However, I think we could benefit from throwing the doors open to the readers. We'd love to network with other paranormal investigators* and talk shop about your experiences. Comparing notes could be beneficial all around.

To that end, we've added a comment section to each blog, as well as a chat function on the main page. Can't guarantee we'll answer every comment or talk with everyone who opens up a chat, but it'll be a good experiment.

So, why have we been gone for six months? In short, Arthur picked up a hot trail on a ghost. Usually Vivi's the one dragging everyone around, so if Arthur gets it in his head to go chasing something, everybody follows. It's like if you have a turtle, and one day that turtle walks up to you with a leash and says, "Pardon me, but I feel like running all of a sudden. Do you mind if we go for a jog?" How do you say no to that?

Turned out Arthur's instincts were right on the money. They found one hell of a ghost. The turtle ran a marathon and brought back the medal. This ghost they found has some serious problems, though, and while the group is trying to help it, nobody really knows what to do. For starters, the ghost can't communicate easily. When it speaks, it affects reality around it. It isn't pleasant. The ghost itself doesn't seem hostile, but you couldn't tell by the sort of horror show the room warps into after a minute of talking. It fades with time, but it's no picnic to be part of those talks. Anyone seen this kind of situation before?

We're working on it, but would love to hear from you. And we're back in business, so if you have a poltergeist that needs talking down or a sighting that you want verified, drop us a line and we'll discuss rates.

It's good to be back.
