“EEeehhhh!” He echoed, coiling in fear at the Hider. Like a trigger-happy rookie cop, Luigi did not hesitate to draw his weapon and pop the ghost full of lead, or rather, pop his Poltergust G-00full of the ghost.

(cGeNdpPRp_1d20+5 Luigi's Poltergust G-00 Suction @ Surprised Hider.)

With the head of the Hider wedged firmly in the vacuum’s intake, Luigi swung it over his head, pulling the whole Hider out and slamming it against the floor before sucking the rest of it in.

“Why did it have-a to be a snakey?” He grumbled, with a wipe of his brow.

Luigi’s plumber ears twitched at the sound of water spilling all over the floor. Oh what a mess that was going to be to clean. And on floors with this wood too?
“Pac-a-Man?” He looked up to find the bath-booted ball battling a blue baptism. He needed plumber. He needed his help!
“Don’t-a worry Pac-a-Man! Here I Go!” Luigi charged in to the rescue, building momentum for a cannon ball. Well, not a cannonball, but more like a missile. A Green Missile.

The slithering ghost managed to uncurl and take off out of the vase. The ceiling above welcomed it with open arms. Only a bit further and it would be manor sweet manor. It smiled with glee as it approached further with arms out-stretched. A few seconds passed before the ghost realized it was getting closer. It grunted and looked back to see it's tail caught in the vacuum head and it swirling up into it. Making one last attempt it thrashed arms about attempting to crab onto anything without sight but to no avail. An attempt was made it grab on one of the floor tiles but it went over too quickly react and it's smooshed it face into the floor. It dizzily got back up and was sucked into the tubes, curling up in it's new home.

The key flew right past the ghost as it held a dumb smile, looking slightly over to it fly away. With the ballman now running towards him, it was taken back a bit by it suddenly turning into a sphere that open and closed. It's fell a bit before picking back up. While the ball was approaching, it melted, turning into water and splashing onto the floor.

Pac bit through the ghost but not tasting anything familiar. Instead he tasted water. Stale water. His limbs sprouted back out and felt disgusted. He spat out the water and flicked out his tongue. Ick gross. Should've known better than to do that. How could he just eat it without a power pellet. This was going to be a set-back with his go-to weapon gone.

p_1d20-1(water elemental dodged green missile.)

Peering behind it, there was a whistling throughout the air as a green-man was sailing towards it.  It grinned.  Then grabbed it lower jaw and pulled it down towards the floor, leaving the stray torpedo to pass briefly through him.  With a slap, it slammed it trap back shut and drifted around in a circle to face the two.

Well, if he couldn't touch them...

Pac got back up and ran towards the watery ghost.  He pulled his arm back and hopped up over it.  Jutting his arm back down, another ghost appeared in a flash of red.  Blinky was glad to be back in action.  Once he landed he threw out another for seconds.

Maybe they could...?

Looking past his nose and through his flapping moustache hair at his oncoming target, Luigi saw the Water Elemental pulling its jaw open for him. “Ack! Oh-no-no-no-No!” He flinched, curling into a ball in midair as he fell through the open mouth.
Rolling to a stop, the sniveling plumber uncurled to realize he was not eaten by the ghost after all.
“Eh?... Phew!” At least he hoped that it didn’t eat him, and he went all the way through-No time to think about that! His sigh of relief was short lived, as they were still actively engaged in battle.

This was not good. This simply wouldn’t do at all! This was a Water elemental, and mere fisticuffs or fireballs weren’t going to cut it. Even the Green Missile wasn’t enough. Everyone knows what they say about fighting fire with fire, but what do you fight water with?
It was in that moment that Luigi remembered his plumbing experience: when puncturing straight through the clog doesn’t work, another way to get water to go down the drain is making a whirlpool! And that’s what he was going to do!

But first, Pacman hitting the Elemental with Blinky gave Luigi an idea: Hit a ghost With a ghost! But where was he going to get a ghost at this late hour?

“Hmmm… Oh yeah!” Luigi snapped, snagging the Poltergust G-00 nozzle once again. It was best that he tried to aim and make this shot Before he got himself all dizzy. Sure, this may cost him a ghost for E. Gadd’s portrait gallery, but he could always make up for it later.

Whether he hit his mark or not, Luigi had to take advantage of the ghost’s brief disorientation. Using the kickback of the shot to start his momentum, Luigi spun on the edge of his foot and twirled his way toward the Water Elemental, in a bid to use its liquid construct against it scoop it up into a whirlpool of his design.
“Here I’m-a Go Again!”

The dual ghost assault caught the dripping one off guard.  Blinky managed to bash it in the face and cause it to stumble where the sneaky missile blew a hole right threw it.  Water sloshed out of it and nearly made a perfect clearing for the fraction the hider torpedoed through it.  It was ready to give up and felt itself collapsing into a watery pile of ectoplasm.  Luigi kind of spun it around and flung it like a sprinkler across the floor.  Pac shook his head trying to get the stuff off him.  Hopefully this wouldn't be much longer.

With that done, the yellow ghost hunter gripped his candle and looked around again, regaining his senses.  This room was done it seemed.  Nothing else was rearing it's head through the wall or any other part of the room for the matter.  He gave off a slight shrug and gave a 'wakap' to his green friend.  Onward.

Grabbing onto the handle of the door on the left of the foyer, it opened with ease.  He peered inside the crack with the candle growing a tad bright as he held it in the crack of the door.  He didn't see anything just a dark hall.  Quite dark actually, more of pitch black outside the immediate glow.  Leaning a bit further proved to be his undoing as suddenly he felt himself tripping over nothing and tumbled into the room.  The door slammed shut behind him, rattling the remaining paintings on the walls and leaving the plumber behind.  The foyer was now quiet for Luigi.  No sound of any sort except maybe for his own breathing.

Like a green, high-speed sprinkler that was just shut off, Luigi’s fountainous spinning slowed to a soaked twirl.
“Yahay! We-he Did It!” The plumber cheered, attempting to do a victory jig before his own disorientation foiled him. He could only fall onto his but with a damp splish. “Hee-hee-hoo~…”
Collapsing further onto his back, he heard Pac summoning him to join onward, but he still needed a moment to recover from dizziness. It totally wasn’t that he was scared to look deeper into this creepy haunted mansion. After all, lying out there in the open on the dusty ground wasn’t so ideal either.
“Okidoki I’m-a…Be right-a there.” He hiccupped as he climbed back up to a sitting position, wringing out his favorite hat before standing back up and heroically fixing it on his head. He was ready to follow… “Pac-a-Man? ‘Eello?” Luigi asked, not recognizing the iconic round shape anywhere in the darkness. “Where’d-a you go?” He called out a little louder, lighting a Fire Ball in his hand like a torch. No sign of him anywhere in this room. Uh oh. Luigi was alone. He didn’t like being alone in lit places let alone a dark dusty ghost infested paranormal trap like this one.

Could this be his chance to bail on the mission? Absolutely not! What if Pac-Man’s in trouble? He had to find Pac-Man and fast!
Pac-Man’d never turn his back on Luigi, (unless that’s exactly what he did) so Luigi won’t turn his back on him!
But where to look first?
“Pac-a-Maaan?” Luigi called his name in a practically signature tone. Thanks to the disorienting acoustics of their decaying enviroment, Luigi lead where he thought he heard the door slam to the right of the foyer. Bracing himself, he cautiously gripped the door knob and slowly opened the door, carefully peering inside.
“A-anyb-body home?”

Luigi, you are now in... the Coatroom?

Yeah, the coatroom.  A really dusty coatroom.  The door creaked upon opening and drifted slowly shut behind Luigi.  This room looked like it was ready to keel over and kick the bucket.  The wallpaper was coming down horrifically and exposing the wooden walls behind which were equally as in bad condition.  The toilet pipes were bent in at sharp angles that it would be a miracle if it could get even the slightest amount of water through.  The porcelain throne held up somehow despite the signs of yellowing age.  It's flusher dangled loosely next to it.  The threads of it were worn, not looking to last much longer. 

However what was most noticeable was the feel of the room.  It was heavy.  Unnaturally so.  Like the world had suddenly been plunged deep underwater and the pressure was dialed up.  Something dark was about in the room.  It watched the plumber with firm eyes.  Bright to it, undetectable to him.  The green fire lit up the room well enough but the darkness slowly crept back in.  It sounded as if the wind outside had suddenly picked up.  It violently whipped against the wooden frame of the room and sounded as it were trying to beat it's way in.

Behind Luigi, a series of thorny vines had crept up to cover the door and point the sharp ends out ensuring that there would trouble if there were any escapes. 

crick-creek-crick-creek

From the ceiling came a light chattering of insects who decided to descend and say hello.  The red translucent bugs dangle from their light webs as they lowered into the light.  With their rest being disturbed, it was next for them on the list: suppertime. 

Ghost Spiders (Four of 'em!)

They hissed and swiped their claws at their next meal.  One from above decided to let go and drop down onto him!

Pac-Man, you are now in... the Dining Room?

Yeah, the dining room.  Pac tumbled out of the doorway onto his stomach.  He loosely held onto his candle this time as it barely clung to life sideways on the floor.  Grabbing it back in his mitts, he was prepared to see something laying out across the floor that had tripped him.  Maybe a rolled up rug or something but wasn't expecting to see the entire wall different.  To the door then the wall then eventually the entire room.  Okay, this was weird.  Wait, where was Luigi?  The ball swiveled a few times looking around and moving the light around in the dark.  Perhaps speeding back to the job wasn't the best decision.  A frown crossed him as he didn't want to have him be on his own.  He would have to find his way back and quick!

As soon as he figured out where he was at.  It smelled... not the best.  Pac's face scrunched up a bit as he waved his nose free of the aroma.  Then the noise hit him.  The sloshing of something that reminded him of a dog eating.  Loud smacks would interrupt frequently before the thing would return to gorging itself.  Hopefully he didn't sound like that when he ate, he thought, as he began to search the room for the source.

Food chunks floated around in the yellow glob of ectoplasm as it continued to vacuum off the remains of the table.  Pac kinda tilted his head a bit at it as it continued to eat.  It was at least twice his size and that was going to be more than what he could get his maw around.  Gobberson over here noticed the lavender light and turned with a half eaten, questionably still good, pear in it's mouth to look at the yellow ball before him.   "Hmm?" it grunted, looking over him.  Maybe it was something new to eat.  Had to tasted better than what they were serving now.  Pac-Man caught that familiar look in it's eyes.  The same look he had given countless before.  Time to run.

It was darker than the Pac Maze inside the door, which wasn’t saying much, considering the rest of the house. Peeking in closer might have been Luigi’s only option for a better look, but that didn’t make it a good one. “Ello?” Luigi asked, hoping the silhouette figure in the darkness was Pac-Man and not another ghost. Before he could make out a head on the shoulders to say hello to, the door slammed behind Luigi.
“Ack! N-No!” He jumped at the door and tried to the knob back open with his one free hand, only for it to slide off, taking a layer of dust with it. “Ew.” He twisted his cheeks down. This is why plumbers wear gloves, after all.
With the door no longer being of use to him, Luigi turned back around and gave the room a more focused examination, lifting his Fire Ball hand to better light the room. It looked like he could set the whole place on fire if he weren’t so careful.
“Man. It’d-a break the heart of whoever lived-a here to see their place reduced to this.” Luigi shook his head to himself. “It’d break-a their heart if I’m-a tell them what we charge to fix a plumbing pickle in This bad of-a shape.” He winced at the dysfunctional pipework leading to the surprisingly resilient porcelain throne. Just some Clorox and a retired toothbrush it’d be good as new, if not useless till the real problem was fixed. Not to mention the flusher looks so frail it might burn if his hand got too close.

Too bad the toilet wasn’t Luigi’s biggest worry in there. For some reason, the fireball was dimming. That’s odd. Was he running out of oxygen, or was the darkness itself moving in defiance of it? Deciding he had spent enough time in there, he turned to try the door again, only to discover it covered in thorny vines, specially grown to thwart any potential escape.
“Eh But where did-?!” Luigi looked around in confusion as to where these vines had grown from so suddenly, but that was when he realized…

Looking up, he saw something truly made of nightmares: Giant Spiders. What was worse than giant spiders? Giant Ghost spiders!
“…” Every fiber of Luigi’s being wanted to burn and rip through the vines, break down the door and do the same for the exit and run away from this place and never stop running, but his feet wouldn’t move. They stayed there, trembling weakly as if glued to the floor.

A cacophony of insect shrieking plagued the room.  The bugs let out their tiny screams as they flailed around attempting to get the flames off themselves.  One after another their bodies gave into the flames.  Small piles of ghostly fire burned on the ground where they once were.  Turns out they weren't flame-proof.  The trickle of flames caught the webbing above that continued to burn, dropping small bits of webbing onto the ground where it spread to the thorns that covered the door.  They withered and burned leaving the door now safe for use.

After the extermination, the room brightened up a bit.  Enough to better see the room but the dark presence still lingered.

The wardrobes in the room began to rattle.  Enough so that the dust on them would shake loose, letting a gray fog drop to the ground.  A laugh would would emanate from that side of the room.  All too familiar to our hero in green.  They continued to rattle on after another.  The right wardrobe then the left one.

“Eew ewewewewewewewewewew!” The choir of shrieking insects harmonized well with the panicking shrieking of the plumber. This singing was accompanied by a dance on his tip-topes as if trying to get away from the ground itself, which was swarming with flaming spiders.

The spiders’ webbing proved to be as flammable as they were, fortunately so were the thorns that covered the door. As if the locks themselves were made of dried toilet paper, Luigi’s barriers burned away. An impressive display to say the least, if only Luigi had seen any of it.

“Eheheyaaa-CHOO!” It was not until a bit of stray spider smoke tickled Luigi’s nose, prompting him to sneeze out of his hands wrapped around his face did he notice the room was brightened and not just lit.
“Oh hey! Phew.” He sighed in relief, rubbing his rubbery nose. It felt as if that bump into the wall flattened it, only for his sneeze to reinflate it.

Although he could see again, the way forward and out wasn’t clear. Despite being better lit than by a hand fire ball, the dark presence still lingered.
“Heyaaa-Blepghf!” A second dust-induced sneeze wiggled Luigi’s prominent nose before hauntingly familiar laugh sent a shiver up Luigi’s frail shaky spine. As much as he hoped he was wrong, he knew what it was, but he didn’t want to stay and prove it. So, naturally out the door and forget he ever heard it, right?
Unfortunately, if it was what he thought it was, he couldn’t just leave it free to wreak havoc in there. It might just follow him out of the room anyway if he didn’t store it safely in his Poltergust.

So, he had no choice but to make a choice: Wardrobe number one, because he was "Luigi, Number One", or wardrobe number two, because that’s the number everyone stuck him with instead? That’s probably exactly what they wanted him to think, wasn’t it? Surely this was a trap! So in that case, he’ll just pick the other one, which was…wait a What?
Clearly, there was only one way to solve this: The ancient plumbing decision-making technique! Taking a deep breath of courage, Luigi stood between the two rattling wardrobes and began the ritual:
“Eenie-a-Meany-a-Miney-a-Mo-Grab-a-Hammer-By-a-the-Bro-Stomp-Him-a-Fast-So-He-Can’t-a-Throw, Eenie-a-Meany-a-Miney-a-Mo...” Luigi recited as he switched his finger back and forth between the wardrobes with his eyes closed.
“My-Mama-Told-a-Me-To-Pick-a-The-Very-Best-One-And-a-You-Are-Not-a-It!”
And his finger stopped on door number V6uZFhoop_1d2.

“H-Here we go…” Luigi gulped, reaching out to open the wardrobe with a shaky glove.

((Luigi!  You can keep your balance with a DEX7 check.  Else suffer a -2 dodge penalty to this next attack.))

"Woah, talk about a blast to the past!"  The strangely bulky boo reoriented itself in the air before focusing back down on Luigi.  It waved it's hand around before whipping up a tile on the floor and hurling it at Luigi.  The tile flew like a Frisbee heading dead straight for the plumber.

The ghost had an iron stomach and knew how to keep things down.  The sudden impact though did cause it to jerk a bit, sliding its log arms across the table and knock off it's soon to be snack.  It frowned and attempted to look down at it's stomach but couldn't without much of a neck.  Maybe it was too spicy.  Maybe some milk would help it calm down.

“Aha! I’m-a Knew you were a Boo!” Luigi pointed out, excited to have been right. But why did Virtual Boo ring such a loud bell?
“…Oho No! You’re-a Boo!” Luigi freaked out upon realizing. Boo’s were a bigger problem than the run of the mill, standard specter. And as E. Gadd said, they’re a much bigger threat when they gathered together and pooled their strength. So Luigi had to stop that from happening and stop it quick!

The download into his ghost pack now failed, the cyber specter was free to wreak the havoc physics engine on the room, starting with the wardrobe behind Luigi.

Upon inspecting the fallen wardrobe, there wasn't much to see at first.  A lot of broken wood and a few metal bits.  The back of a drawer on the bottom was exposed through the back as the reinforcement had snapped on the collision.  There was a small faded pink coinpurse in there which held a few gold coins.  Score!

Pac-Man held up his arms in front of him to block off the ectoplasm that sort of splattered over him.  Other might've said ew but it didn't phase him.  He let his arms down, globs of ecto ooze dripping down.  Unbeknownst to him, he had dropped his candle a little whiles back but was more focused on the task at hand.  The candle lay dead on the floor near the entrance.

Running up the yellow glob, Pac threw out another series of hands.  An ghostly uppercut from Blinky, a jab from Clyde (who like usual wasn't all there), and finishing with Inky.  The Gobber was barraged and felt its energy fading.  It eventually fell over onto it back giving one last grasp at the table.  Just... one more bite.  It's arm strained, shaking for that last piece before it fell down, slamming itself back on the ground. 

Pac stood up and swiped his hands together, letting off the ectoplasm.  Not what he was used but a job done is a job done.  Perhaps letting them tag along wasn't so bad.  What did they say... Keep your friends close and enemies closer?  Not that he needed to keep them close as they did that themselves.  Always being on his tail.  He took a moment to go find his candle while Blinky and Inky floated above the unconscious specter sprawled out on the floor.  Their eyes looked down before looking both back at each other.  Pac whistled once he got ahold of the candle again, it's flame lighting up and the ghosts following suit around him.  Onto the next room where hopefully he would find Luigi.  He grabbed onto the door's handle and gave it a push.

“Eh? That’s-a it?” Luigi scoffed in disappointment at how little of use was to be found in the fallen wardrobe. “Mama Mia. In-a this economonopoly, even the ghosts must-a switched to Crypto-currency!” The greedy ghost hunter quipped as he flipped the coins into his pocket. “Hee-hee, get it? Crypt-o-currency? Heh…hm.” He elbowed at thin air before realizing there was no one there to get his lame pun.

“…Oh, right. Get in-a Back here!” He snapped his fingers and bounded at the door, chasing after the Virtual Boo… Only to be reminded the door was locked. “I’m-a mean Let-a me out!” He rapped at the door and trying to pull it open
