Case #26: Video

[19centconstable]

[George is stood in his room. If it seems more well lit than usual...it is. Because ghosts can't haunt you in the light; too see-through.]

I think the obvious solution is to hold one to several seances. Whom on board is the most sensitive?

We might also try to catch one of the spirits mid-haunt and try to communicate with it there, but that would require everybody turning out their lights and being quite quiet, luckily, rather late at night. Would anybody else be interested in taking part in such an investigation? ...because I wouldn't like to undertake one alone.

How interesting. What did they look like?

[nicebluehat.livejournal.com]

Vaguely humanoid or animal-like in shape, often formed out of inanimate objects, strangely enough. [as if she's working it out for herself as she speaks with George] These aren't likely to be the type we're looking for, however. A haze signaled their arrival, but the ash above deck hasn't drifted down here yet. Do you have any experience with the supernatural?

Our Ms. Pensell is a medium.

You've seen a channelling done?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

No, but Detective Murdoch has.

If he's not here, he can't help us. Do you know anyone here who could be of any use? I can't say I do, except slightly by reputation.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Well I know about what ought to happen in a seance, and I'm sure there are books on it.

[nicebluehat.livejournal.com]

True. Do you think it would be effective with only us, or do you know anyone with a stronger spiritual attunement?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Tony has said he might be sensitive.

[nicebluehat.livejournal.com]

Oh. Foster? [She had a disagreement with him WHICH WE HAVEN'T PLAYED OUT YET yesterday.]

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's him.

[nicebluehat.livejournal.com]

He has experience, then? ... More than either of us do, at least.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

It seems so, yes.

[nicebluehat.livejournal.com]

Then if there's nothing we have to lose by it...

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

I don't see how we could.
