Hey, everyone, it's Ray Stantz here! You know, the guy who was freezing on Route 29 on Christmas Eve?

Don't worry, I'm more than safe now. :-)

Anyway, I do research on the supernatural (I specialize in ghosts and the hunting and containment of them, for those curious!) and I've been reading up on myths and legends in this dimension. It's pretty interesting stuff, but I would like to hear some first hand accounts of the strange and unusual sightings in this dimension! Whether it's encounters with Legendary Pokémon, normal Pokémon, or just strange occurrences you've noted in this dimension, I want to hear about it! I think it would help get me a better understanding of this dimension. And even if it doesn't, it would be fun to hear about!

Or heck, if you have any fun stories of strange encounters back in your home dimension I would love to hear that too; I'm not picky!

[Ray tries to type something for a few minutes before just leaving this:]

>:-(

[neverstudied]

[Venkman laughs at that, earning an irritable look from the half-asleep Doduo by his side. Or at least, from the left head- the right one continues to slumber on.]

:-)

if it helps i also remember my partner helping save the world (and cities, towns, and people) a few times and being all heroic

[ghoststanning]

Aww c'mon Pete, why didn't you bring that up first? Now people are going to think I'm the destroyer of New York first and a hero second :-(

[He's half teasing at this point.]

[neverstudied]

aww don't worry big guy

you didnt ACTUALLY destroy new york

just covered it in a lot of marshmallow goo and caused some property damage

and you saved the city plenty of times before and after that

[ghoststanning]

:-( I guess that's a little better.

Still I guess I can't argue with that, remember the thing with the sewers, Venkie? ;-)

[About how you said it wasn't worth investigating it and how Ray saved the city.]

[neverstudied]

[:/]

yeah

like how you went down there alone without telling anyone except slimer and nearly died?

[ghoststanning]

Aww c'mon Pete! It worked out, didn't it?

Besides I knew you guys would try stopping me if I told anyone but Slimer!

[neverstudied]

:-/

you DID save the day though i'll give you that

you hero, you

[ghoststanning]

Aww, thanks Pete!

You're pretty good at saving the day yourself! At least at keeping us from going under. :-)

[neverstudied]

hey someone's gotta save you guys from yourselves

might as well be me :-)

[That's a lie and they both know it. They'd all three be dead 50 times over if it weren't for Winston and Janine.]

[ghoststanning]

Wasn't that person Winston?

[Sorry Pete, Ray is gonna immediately shoot that down.]

[neverstudied]

:-/ well yea ok

but winstons still not here yet soooo

without him im the person who has to stop you two from being idiots

[ghoststanning]

Sure are doing a great job, what with you abandoning us as soon as you got here ;-)

[He's joking don't listen to him.]

[neverstudied]

youre the ones who decided to trek through the snow on christmas eve ray :-/

[ghoststanning]

Come on, Pete, I didn't even realize that it was Christmas Eve until a few hours in! :-(

... Speaking of

I need to give you guys belated Christmas presents.

And you will LIKE THEM! >:-(

[neverstudied]

that feels less like a gift and more like a threat

[Though, in all fairness, Venkman's been planning to do the same. Even after the whole Christmas ghost incident, Venkman doesn't have much in the way of Christmas spirit, but he does know how much the holiday means to Ray. And he's not gonna leave Egon out of it, either.

Buuut Ray doesn't need to know his Plans[tm].]

[ghoststanning]

[Meanwhile with Ray:]

It is, Peter. >:-) I'm going to make you listen to Christmas music in March if I have to!

[neverstudied]

[Venkman rolls his eyes.]

at least it'll be a change of pace from the constant background music in this place :-/

have you and egon been able to do any tests centered around that?

[ghoststanning]

Not yet! Egie and I have mostly been focusing on studying Pokemon.

Studying the music phenomenon could be useful though! I'm really curious what the true nature of this dimension is, and I think researching the music could help!

[neverstudied]

yea i knew you two would be occupied with the little monsters for a while; but if you ever take a break from that i'd like to hear what you guys are able to find out about this

especially if you figure out how to shut it off

im getting used to it but god it gets so grating sometimes

[He doesn't like silence, either, but he wants to have some control over the music he listens to :/]

[ghoststanning]

I think it's really charming! :-)
It's like each town has it's own little tagline but it's a song!

But sure thing! I'm sure Egon would love to do some research on this topic too.
