[Out of the three Ghostbusters in this dimension, Venkman was probably the most reluctant to go to this thing. That's not necessarily a dig at the camp itself- just a fact. Ray and Egon would sell their organs to come here if they had to, and Venkman's here mostly just to watch them get excited (Ray unrestrained, Egon with a thick layer of stoicism that makes the slightly unhinged, manic look in his eyes so much more nerve-wracking).
... On top of that, Ray and Egon ditched him (IE: asked him to come, and he refused, multiple times) for a few weeks to go explore some forests and catch some bugs, and it's been a while since he's seen them. So Venkman shows up early- very early. Like, "sir we haven't really set anything up yet" early. Like "this event doesn't start for another day or two did you get the date wrong" early.
Venkman explains it away to anyone who asks as him just happening to plan a trip out here and it coinciding with the Legend Seekers' plans. The truth is painfully obvious the second he actually sees Ray and Egon again- because of course, they're sure as hell not gonna be late.
... Still, even if he's not quite as into this as his partners, he knows his shit. Mostly.]
You guys are using store-bought Ouija boards? God, this is amateur hour.
[Which mostly means he feels entitled to complain.
A lot.]
How many times do I gotta tell you people, tinfoil hats do nothing to stop Psychic interference. You're setting yourself up for failure.
[And every single NPC is gonna hear it.]
What the fuck is a spirit box?
[Whenever he gets done berating and badgering the Legend Seekers for their methods, Venkman'll usually be found around the fire pit, regaling whatever Legend Seekers don't hate him after his critiques with stories about past busts. Some of these really sound farfetched, to be honest, but hey, what do you know? Maybe Houdini really did have a magic cabinet and Venkman got trapped inside there once. Maybe Venkman did help retrieve the Shears of Fate from a gaggle of demons for the Fates from Greek Mythology. Maybe a parade float inflated in a warehouse that used to be a city morgue really did turn into a gigantic praying mantis ghost and had to be fought off by a giant marshmallow man that used to be the form of an ancient Sumerian god.
... Man, what is wrong in New York City.
While Venkman's off either making a fool of himself or others, a few of his Pokemon seem especially interested in the surrounding ruins. Roach the Golisopod evolved here, after all- and Georgie the Kecleon was captured here. So was Plunderbird the Klefki, by its previous owner. Don't be too alarmed if you run into this trio while exploring- they don't bite.
... Plunderbird might bite if it could, though. It's a wily little thing. But it also knows the ruins like the back of its hand, so if you happen to be lost, just follow the jingling tools! Georgie and Roach will do their best to keep it from leading the wrong way.]
[OOC: hmu on plurk (glitchbirds) if you have any questions or have anything specific you'd like to thread out!
Additionally, while they're not mentioned here, Venkman's also got his Mimikyu, Beheeyem, and Honchkrow with him, so if you'd like something specific involving one of them, lmk!]
