Test Drive
There’s something weird in your neighborhood. Who you gonna call?
New York isn’t the only place in the world facing severe ghost problems. It’s no surprise, then, that several ‘franchise’ businesses have opened across the globe…each paying royalty fees to the boys in the Big Apple, naturally. How does your character fit into this world? Are they destined for the jumpsuit, or are they more likely to be the one frantically dialing that number on the screen? Go nuts and have fun, try everything!
1. Forming a Partnership - One of you has the crazy idea of starting your own ghost hunting business. Whose house is getting mortgaged for this?
2. Setting Up Shop - The original Ghostbusters had a rundown fire station. But your own headquarters could wind up being anything. Does the pole still work?*immediately crashes through floor and emerges in China*
3. Recruiting - There are more spooks than you can handle! Time to put out a ‘help wanted’ ad. You might get the right person, but then again, you’re using Craigslist so. You know. Might get someone weirder than the ghosts you’re trying to bust.
4. First Bust - You’ve tested the equipment (RIGHT?) and now it’s time to bag your first spectre. Show those ghosts who’s boss! And then bill the client an exorbitant amount of money for your hard work.
5. Celebrating - You’ve just had your first success, or maybe it’s just the first night at HQ. Time to celebrate with takeout! Or maybe you just want a hot shower and a nap. Whatever suits your style, man.
6. Clients - One of you is an expert. The other has a swimming pool full of phantasms. Let’s work out a deal.
7. Complications - You ain’t afraid of no ghost. Except that last encounter shook you up pretty bad, so…you ain’t afraid of MOST ghosts. Maybe your buddy needs to pull you out, or you need to help your buddy. After all, it’s all about teamwork.
8. Whoops - The job was supposed to go without a hitch. But someone is getting slimed. Regroup and continue, or throw in the towel?
9. That’s a Big Twinkie - Busting ghosts? No problem. How about demigods? Ever tried to bust Cthulhu? Whatever the situation, you’re up against something you’re definitely not prepared to deal with. Suit up, the city’s counting on you, and there’s a fat paycheck to consider!
10. Close Encounters of the Friendly Kind - Some ghosts can be somewhat friendly and long for human contact, or perhaps they're having a tough time finding the eternal rest they need. Maybe the two of you can help each other out. #notallghosts

Winter Schnee | RWBY
4. First Bust
[The rundown headquarters she can put up with, as long as the plumbing is fixed. And she doesn't mind the shabby car that breaks down more often than not. But the uniforms need an upgrade, she thinks, lifting an eyebrow at the stained khaki jumpsuit. This is what's being used to represent the employees? Shameful. If they bothered to look professional, they could charge a decent rate for their services instead of fighting over who ate the last Cup O' Noodles.]
[Nonetheless, it takes time to commission new uniforms, so Winter dons the suit, zips up, and yanks on her sturdy boots. Somehow, she makes it look good on her, snowy white hair pinned up and pristine.]
[As the car rattles to a stop in front of the old antique shop, a kitschy elephant statue fashioned of soap that's long lost its scent crashes through the front window. Winter doesn't bat a lash, eyeing the soap sculpture where it lies in the street.]
If it's getting rid of garbage like that, then at least this poltergeist has decent taste.
[She unholsters her particle thrower and steps forward.]
Shall I take the back entrance?
5. Celebrating
[There's nothing wrong with cheap Chinese takeout. Winter eats it primly, as if it were a high class lobster dinner, even as she fishes out a fried shrimp from one of the little white boxes. She holds her chopsticks as if she were born with them in her fingers, as if eating chow mein were a sublime art form.]
[True, she could have sprung for something fancy and expensive, but she has problems with careless spending and unnecessary extravagance. It's okay to have some nice things, but it's not an effective way to run a business.]
[Cheapskate.]
[Besides, truth be told, she likes this kind of thing. Good luck getting her to say that out loud.]
Pass the soy sauce, if you please.
8. Whoops
[Where did it go? Winter revolves slowly in place, her grey eyes narrowed and darting left and right. She'd say these things don't just vanish, but that's actually par for the course. Her entire body is tense, her thumb hovering over the firing button at the first sign of activity. It's not coming out. Damn!]
[Tsking under her breath, her left hand moves to pluck the PKE meter from her belt. If it won't come out on its own, then she'll track the little brat down.]
[But that's just what the vengeful spirit was waiting for. The moment Winter lets her guard down for that split second, it rushes up at her through the floorboards, wrapping her tightly in its ghostly residue...and seeping into her body.]
[Winter stiffens with a choked sound, her eyes wide, before she collapses into a heap on the ground. Twitch.]
[When she lifts her head, she's...smiling? Oh now there MUST be something wrong, Winter never smiles.]
