"Hey guys~ whatcha doin?"

"Um paintball"

"Great weather for it."

"That isn't a paintball gun, I'm pretty sure you can't play paintball from a roof in the CBD, and it's 12 degrees with a chance of rain.

How much do you know and are you going to answer my questions the easy way or do I need to kill you first."

"You can't interrogate a corpse, cunt."

That puts a pretty low limit on how much they know, but it's not like I'm low on juice.

Abraham Li- actually if there was going to be a response to gunshots it would probably already be coming but lets play it safe.

Besides if there is a mage war I don't want to put mileage on my stronger incantations.

"Tell me everything you know about who sent you."

We just accepted a darkweb contract. It told us where to expect you, where to find the weapons, and that we should take the drugs that were with the gun first.
Yeah, the contact was just a random string of numbers and letters, but he sent us each 3BTC in advance and said there would be more if we got you.

"So you aren't actually trained snipers?"

It's been a while since I hung up my detective hat. Even longer since I've had to deal with a serious mystery. Something I couldn't solve by just asking a nearby ghost.

I'd prefer to stay out of the game, but that doesn't mean I can't play with the best of them.

I've also observed that dickheads with no firearms training were able to snipe me twice then land a grenade at my feet from the top of a skyscraper.

In a country where guns are actually hard to get.

This could be from the "drugs" they were given, but I shouldn't rule out the possibility the gun is enchanted.

This is going to be a long night, but that's nothing new to ace detective Ell—

Are you still doing the Ace Detective thing? Because if so you need to apologize for calling me chuuni.

Are you still using the soul bond you tricked us into as kids to spy on all of us? Or is it just me?

Why did a bunch of humans break into my crypt and why do they think the stake thing works?

Mage war.

Bram Stoker?

Probably Buffy tbh.

Also, I'm taking that as all of us.

Dickhead.

Hey guys, I think they tried to kill me too.

My airbnb just blew up.

Binding ghosts without a circle or similar requires ongoing concentration.

This is something else which is not that.

"Bye, bitch!"

"See you in hell."

The spotter blinks. "Wait, are we actually going to hell? I didn't think that stuff was real, but..."
