[alternative title: hey look its that guy who ate weird parasect mushrooms on a livestream last week
One thing that's important to note about Egon Spengler is that he does not "party". At least, not...in the traditional sense. He'll go to parties if his partners go, of course, and he'll act accordingly, but he doesn't particularly derive that much joy from this social exercise. He'd rather be in a non-crowded, non-overwhelming place performing various experiments of dubious nature, preferably with Ray or Venkman. And, understandably so, the staff here aren't particularly inclined to deal with that and the resulting damage that would inevitably occur.
His intentions of this cruise are twofold: one, to spend time with his partners, and two, prove that aliens don't exist and any "attack" rumored to occur actually can be traced to other (existing) supernatural phenomena. The first part is pretty much guaranteed--the second part is going to be the more difficult part.
Of course, his attitude completely turns around and he gets extremely sidetracked once he actually makes his way to Wailord's Bounty. Faraday the Trevenant and Riley the Trapinch trail close behind him as he makes his way to every station--yes, every station--to pile his plate up with food. The man's metabolism goes a mile a minute to keep up with his brain. While his back is turned, Faraday keeps stealing handfuls of food from his plate and feeding them to Riley, who happily munches down on these offerings.
Although he does end up inhaling most of the food placed on his plate, not all of the food is for nutrition purposes. There's plenty of interesting science that goes into nutrition and food, and Egon intends to learn as much as he can while he's here. While mingling in Wailord's Bounty, you may find yourself suddenly approached by a rather tall, serious, bespectacled man with a clipboard in hand.]
I'm conducting a survey on the nutrition of this dimension and how it compares to other dimensions. Do you mind answering a few questions for me?
[The rest of the cruise is mostly spent on the top deck, accompanied by Kölliker the Reuniclus. It seems as though he's set up a makeshift weather station on one edge of the deck, much to the chagrin of the staff on duty. Various pieces boxy-looking machinery has been stacked on top of each other, beeping and whirring with various types of incoming data on the air pressure, wind, humidity...so on and so forth. A network of interwoven wires creep across the devices like some sort of strange neural network (and cause a rather obvious tripping hazard). How did he even bring all of this equipment through security???
Egon's changed into his Ghostbusting uniform--can't be too careful if there are supernatural creatures around, can you? He spends most of his time staring down at his PKE meter, which is hooked up to some sort of small satellite dish-like device sitting on top of the tower of electronics. Kölliker floats from one device to another, notebook in hand, watching the data come in and writing down her observations. Egon seems pretty distracted--it might take a bit of prodding for him to actually respond to anything being said to him.
The main attraction of the prom, of course, is the dancing, and Egon eventually finds himself in the Nido-King and Queen Ballroom. Unfortunately, as stated earlier, Egon doesn't really party, which means he doesn't really...dance. At least, not without reason. It doesn't help that the last time he actually "danced" was when he was switched into Ray's body during the unusual incident involving Rotom infiltrating the network.
Fun times.
He's currently standing on the far edge of the room, fiddling with a drink in his hand, trying to look inconspicuous. He would have succeeded, if not for the fact he was wearing this godawful suit that makes him stand out like the huge nerd he is. When he inevitably gets approached by someone, he just inclines his head towards them and says in a tone that sort of signifies "please don't interact with me in any way"--]
...Hello. Um. I hope you're enjoying yourself.
[He takes a small sip of his drink before falling silent again.]
