Pasty What did we decide to call him?  I'm calling him "Pasty the Grouchy Ghost" until another name comes up is standing next to you suddenly.  He groans, rolling his eyes.

"Do I look like your Ubereats?  What about you?  You not have hands?

"I mean...yeah. I can move stuff.  Sure."

I ignore his kvetching.

"Can you take that bomb off the wall there for me and follow me outside so I can pitch it in the lake? It's motion-activated, and you're invisible."

He cocks an eyebrow. "How does invisible equate to thwarting a motion sensor?

"Motion sensors detect things like radar, but with visible light. If you're invisible, the light from the sensor will go through you and won't trip it."

He frowns, thinking that over.  <gray"Huh.  I...guess?  Dunno.  That sounds like it just isn't right.  But sure.  You want me to lug some bombs around or somethin'?"</gray>

"Yeah. Help me get them down and we can throw them in the lake so nobody explodes."

I go get some tools out of the janitor's closet and come back to Bomb Land, then wait for Grumpy Gus McGhosty to get the first bomb down and walk it outside so I can punt it into the water.

You are doing all this in Limbo correct?  You are not bringing the bombs back into real time to punt them?

Correct. Grumpy McGhost is a safety measure.

Now to go get Mom, Dad, Saul, and somebody with a GM counter or whatever you use to track radio waves so we can find the culprit and punch him and/or her in the head. Doo dee doo dee doo.

Thanks, Ghost Boy!

Are you doing the tracking in real time?  Or bringing whoever it is into Limbo?

In Limbo if possible. If it doesn't work, then realspace is next.

In reply to Seraphina Martel (msg # 987):

Just checking.  It does make a difference, but not in the way you expect

It takes a "while" to find equipment.  But that's in you-time.  Not even a nanosecond passes in real time.

You get it up and running.  The radio waves are stationary.  So you're able to get a ping.  But only one.  Your equipment is also frozen in a moment as well.

From what you can gather after a lot of trial and error, flitting back and forth between Limbo and real time, is that a signal is being broadcast to keep the bombs in 'sleep' mode.  And the source of that signal is...coming from the mouth of an old guy who's sitting in a chair near the stage, nursing a cup of ice and muttering darkly to himself.

More old guys doing shady stuff, sonofabitch.

Ugh.

I bring in Mom and Dad and Saul to the investigation and inform them what's up. Then I ask Ghostly Goo if this is one of those guys who's been stalking me.

I wonder which building we should throw him off of.

In reply to Seraphina Martel (msg # 989):

Ghostly Goo?

"Ghostly Goo?  Can I get a better name please?  And no.  Never seen him before."

Mother and Dad study the old guy.  Saul cocks his head.

"He's...acting more like he's got a tooth ache."

Mother gives Saul a side eye before dismissing him.  "If the source of the signals is from his mouth, isn't that all we need to know?"

Dad frowns.  "I dunno.  Kinda wondering the same thing as Saul is.  This seems a little...I dunno."

The old guy flinches, rubs his cheek, and puts his plastic glass of ice against it.

"Grumpy Ghosty? Shady Specter? Kevin?"

"Maybe the signal is coming from some kind of false tooth thing, like in a Cold War spy novel. Maybe he doesn't want it in there and he's a hostage somehow. Should we get a dentist?"

Dad shakes his head.  "It's the weekend.  It'd be an emergency visit for a dentist."

Saul gives a little fake cough and then says, "Well.  We should maybe talk to him."

Mother waves a hand.  "I'm on vacation.  One of you kids do it.  You need to learn how to do these things anyway."

Saul looks at you, as if to ask You want me to talk to him?  Or do you want to?

Does nobody in this family have any sense of responsibility but me?

I go ahead and pull the tooth guy Sideways.

"Hey, I'm Seraphina. We don't have much time."

Hah.

"There's a radio signal coming from you, going to all those bombs. Care to explain that?"

In reply to Seraphina Martel (msg # 993):

The old guy blinks, clearly shocked.  He looks around, blinking.  "What?  Radio?  What?"

He's either a world class actor, or he has no idea what you are talking about.

I pinch the bridge of my nose. Is everyone on Earth stupid except me?

"The bombs are controlled by radio signals. There's a radio signal to the bombs, coming from you. You're nursing your jaw like you have a toothache. Therefore, I think you might have some kind of transmitter in a false tooth."

He blinks and looks around.  "Why isn't anyone else moving?  I don't get it.

"I don't got no false tooth.  I mean...I did get a filling in yesterday.  And it's not sitting right.  But no false tooth."

Very abbreviated explanation: "Because I can stop time."

I wave the tracker at him to confirm that it is indeed coming from him. The signal, that is.

"Do you mind if Saul here scans your memories, see if the dentist did any funny business?"

The old guy blinks some more.  Finally, he says, "I have no idea what you are talking about.  Are you high?"

Assuming you brought Saul into Limbo

Saul sighs.  "Lemme jus'...Just be a second."</gray>

He stares at the old man and then looks at you.  <aqua>"He doesn't know anything about it.  He went in to get a filling.  His dentist was out and a new guy was there.  They put him under to do the filling."


"So you're both high."

Saul ignores him.  "I did see what the new dentist looks like.  I can share the memory with you if you like."
