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

Eh?
[With that intelligible greeting out of the way, he unfolds his arms from behind his head and drops his feet to the floor, leaning onto the desk with one elbow, chin in his hand. He looks her up and down, gauging her silently for a moment.]
You're not really dressed like a receptionist.
[It probably isn't hard to figure out his name. The jumpsuit, stained and hanging halfway off of a coat hook, clearly reads 'Akutabi' on the pocket. There's a potted plant in the window suffering from overexposure and not enough water, well on its way to becoming a ghost itself. The ceiling fan whirs overhead with a noticeable click. Clearly this place has seen better days, but it was cheap. Just like almost everything else in the office. Even the phone has a rotary dial and a mismatched cord knotted up in the middle. What trash heap did he dig that out of?]

Good. Because I'm not interested in being one and you don't want me answering your phones anyway.
[She certainly isn't much to look at at a glance. Small, skinny in plain clothes with short dark hair and eyes with only a simple bronze stud in one ear as any sort of accessory.
Taking another step forward she placed the flyer on the desk and pointed to the top "OPEN" position.]
I'm here to be a Ghostbuster.

But the receptionist job pays better.
[He points at it, as if to demonstrate.]
It's hourly, and full time. Comes with benefits. No ectoplasm to wash off at the end of the day. Ghostbusters get paid per job, which means unless there are a lot of spooks flyin' around, weeks could go by without us getting a single client. It's dirty, dangerous work. And I don't always charge if the client can't pay.
[His expression doesn't change, save for a faint hardness around the eyes. It's a test, Vin might be able to tell that much. But what he's testing, he doesn't outright say.]
You sure that's what you want?
