[Action- Greased Lightning Garage ]

[Pete's at work, impatient ever since receiving his proton pack. He can't wait to take it over to Ray's so that he, Ray, and Egon can start discussing business. He figures if he makes one hard sell today on a used car, he can cut loose a little early. Maybe you're a coworker who's noticed him looking at the clock one too many times, or maybe you're looking to buy a car today...]

[Action- Around Town ]

[After work, Venkman picks up his proton pack from home and is heading for Ray's when he begins to wonder if the thing even works. He flips it on, pulls the wand out from its holster, and aims for a nearby tree. A bright beam is shot out, scorching the side of the tree and peppering the thing with small flames.]

...It's still in one piece? I'm good.


[Action- Ray's House/1127 Taylor Road ]

[He's knocking on the door rapidly.]

Let me in, Ray... before I'm arrested for arson!

[He flicks the off switch and re-holsters it. So casual.]

This isn't going to look good on my review.

[ooeeooahah]

Probably not. How long has it been since your last evaluation?

[sosghosts.livejournal.com]

Egon keeps track of these things, not me. [=Never.]

[ooeeooahah]

I see. I'm guessing y'all don't have carry permits for these, either.

[sosghosts.livejournal.com]

Is that a problem?

[ooeeooahah]

Not sure about here... and I wouldn't know which office would issue a permit for that.

[ She seems much more relaxed since the thing was powered down. ]

[sosghosts.livejournal.com]

Don't look at me.

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa chuckles. ] I hate to think how introverted Egon would be without associating with you.

[sosghosts.livejournal.com]

What does that have to do with anything?

[ooeeooahah]

[ She shrugs. ] Just that I'm glad you're here for him. Mayfield is a horrible place, but it's worse without friends to support you.

[ She gives his arm a squeeze and heads off for home. ] See you around.

[Speechless-Venkman remains speechless as she walks away, his eyes following her suspiciously.]
