[ Ilsa just falls into step with him, taking his arm on the side away from the meter. ]

You finished it! How is the testing going?

[Egon's brain is beginning to associate Ilsa's voice with her broadcasting and he immediately feels calmer when she takes his arm. He gives her a small smile.]

Yes, it's quite a bit more accurate than I thought it would be. I've gotten some interesting readings, although Mayfield in general seems to have a very normal particle balance. That'll make testing easier at the very least. I can simply use the same calculations I used back home.

In some ways, it's an even blanker slate than home... I wonder if it reacts to other energy signatures?

[ Ilsa raises an eyebrow at him, questioning. Maybe asking permission? ]

This device in particular only detects a high level of electrons; primarily, energy emitted from spectral beings. I would have to add a different kind of emitter to use it for anything else.

[He gives her a questioning glance.]

What did you have in mind?

[Right around 9, this wandering vagabond insomniac passes by a guy with a magical doohickey. Then he backpedals and takes a better look.]

What the flying fucking hell is that?

[The expletives catch Egon's attention and he turns to find that he's gotten an audience.]

This... this detects psychokinetic energy.

[Right, probably doesn't explain much. Small words, Egon.]

Ghosts.

Oh. Okay. Hmm. [He's just gonna walk circles around Egon as he tries to examine the thing.]

So you're looking for fucking ghosts in this place? Really, of all things?

Yes. [His tone suggests that he's thoroughly confident in his research. He continues scanning nearby objects as he explains.]

Ghosts and other spectral beings are based in an inter-dimensional realm. Their molecular makeup is very different from ours and contain elements that are easily transfigured. If I can find clues as to the transformative cycle that we all went through when we entered this dimension I can possibly find a way to get us out of here.

[ Well, he is an alien. Not supernatural, per say, but definitely slightly radioactive.

Still, Jolt likes gadgets. ]

What have you got there?

[ Say hi to the talking car, Egon. ]

[He doesn't even notice the car driving past him. Of course, he glances around first to try and figure out who is speaking. When he sees no one he simply forgets he heard anything and continues on his way, scanning random objects. It wouldn't be the first time he's heard voices in his head.]

[ Jolt stops and backs up, keeping pace with Egon as he's going in reverse ]

Helloooo?

[Egon stops dead on the sidewalk and stares hard at the car that is now obviously following him. He can't see anyone in the driver's seat and there was definitely a voice. He's met a lot of strange beings here but a talking car is a first.

Cautiously, he steps up to the car to take a look inside. Is it some sort of advanced computer? Maybe a robot?]

[A pale girl with blue hair peers at Egon, she's not setting off his device at all, but she is speaking in a lovely deadpan voice]

If you're looking for radiation levels, I have those mapped.

drspengler October 17 2011, 19:46:09 UTC
[The girl immediately looks familiar to Egon. He's sure he's met her before, but unfortunately he's forgotten her name as his head is too full of other things to remember names.]

Ah, hello again.

Actually, I'm reading PKE levels, but radiation might be very useful as well.

hontobakabaka October 17 2011, 19:47:51 UTC
Right...

[She closes her eyes and a breeze kicks up around them as a holographic representation of Mayfield appears, colored from blue to red on what she's detected as radiation (Note there isn't much of it)]

There isn't very much radiation at all that I've found so far. Or at least that Omoikane has been able to detect.

drspengler October 17 2011, 20:05:23 UTC
[Aha, he'd forgotten she could do that.]

Just as I thought. Technology here is very primitive. It's no surprise that there are very limited sources of radiation.

Still, [he takes out a notepad and scribbles something down] that information alone could prove very useful.

[[How would it react to a were-coyote in human form?

Because Aaron is staring at Egon funny when he walks up with it...

.. Not really realizing he should be worried.]]

You're... you're actually him?

[This kid immediately strikes him as a non-drone and Egon wastes no time in pointing the device at him to take a reading. It measures about average but Egon quirks a brow at the kid's odd question.]

... Who?

pants_yourmove October 18 2011, 18:10:57 UTC
A Ghostbuster!

Or are you just the actor?

[[Wow, now that's something else.

He did meet a Pokemon character so anything's possible.]]

[Egon's eyes widen slightly. Someone recognizes him! He isn't sure what the kid means by 'actor' but this bit of news is very exciting.]

Yes, I'm a Ghostbuster. You've seen us on TV? [He quickly takes out his notepad and begins scribbling things down. If this kid really is from Egon's dimension, he could find out some very interesting things... if he can convince him to be subjected to testing anyway.]
