Archie looks at the hand on the mirror and then rubs his eyes as if in disbelief. "Maybe a little too much absynth, Charles."
Baxter walks over to the mirror to try and put his hand on it.

"My stars and garters!"Farnsworth old bean this is inconceivable!" "I dare say you sir are a genius!" As von Brahn marvels at the glasses he trips and knocks over a beaker on the desk. He turns to group and says, "These damnable shoes, they will be the death of me. That will be the last time I buy shoes in China!" "As we all know German quality is superior, in retrospect, I should have bought from the motherland."

"Gandma's must've been a bloody good fun to be with them. Oy, it's gettin' ta me head. I thought we were goin down, but ain't no windows underground to show London tops."
"Fizzing machinery prof. But what in gory damnation was that in the mirror? I coulda swore i saw some daddles reaching out behind you. And dimensions and metawhasicals? Sounds like something from your penny dreadfuls i used to sell back home."

"Ha, nothing you have can scare me." Archie crosses his arms and waits for the Professor to do something.

Alfredo turns to Farnsly and says, "Egad man, put it away, that thing is ghastly! I'd run away if it wasn't for these damnable shoes!

The all to familiar tingle of chills runs down Charles' spine. With a quick shudder He takes a nip from his flask "Just like Grand-muma" he says at almost a whisper. staring off in deep thought and saddened reflection.
"You be kind to those spirits" she used to say. Young Charles thought she was crazy as a loon. Grand-muma would leave out things, lying about, and Charles would watch her. In the morning they were gone. a pair of shoes here, a bunt cake there. Charles never understood why no one else in the family ever thought she was crazy and needed to be committed. on the eve of his thirteenth birthday, Charles had had quite a bit of this nonsense and he was going to get to the bottom of this. On that particular night there was a plate of cookies in the conservatory of all places. Charles waited and waited well past midnight and finally decided grand was crazy and went to eat one of the cookies. He got about half way through the cookie, when the crying started.
There in the conservatory was a little Indian girl. The semi-transparent child sobbed, then cried. then wailed, then shrieked, as it transformed into the horrible ghastly vaporous apparition. It moved forward. To scared to move young Charles was frozen in fear. The apparition placed a mark on his face with the a searing index finger. it glowed blue in the darkness. the pain felt like the time he had burned his hand. He was frozen, there was nothing he could do. In a dizzying frenzy grand jumped between him and the spectre and placed another cookie on the plate. the apparition flew up to the ceiling spun around the chandelier, and dove straight into the plate. it shattered and fell to the floor.
It seemed like hours sitting in the kitchen. The cooks were all in bed. Grand-muma had made a special tea. She sat looking at Charles saddened. "I told you many times not to mess with the left things. they are our penance young man. Your family, My family are cursed to care for the many spirits we harmed through our actions. Now you are one of the keepers for this family." As she spoke a light blue symbol shown on her face. "I was a young girl and I took some cookies as well. Don't look like that it isn't about the cookies. It is disturbing the penance." she held up a mirror the same mark was on his face. he was now a keeper as well. "Will I have this mark on my face forever?" Charles asked. "yes dear but only another keeper or the specters can see it. There are ghost in this world child. many are horrid and evil." "that one looked p-pretty h-horrid Grand..." "I know but ours come for the payment they should have received in life, that our family stole from them some how. As you grow you will learn what the calabashes did to receive their fortune. and you will not like it. But for now the ghost will appear in a corner, in a chair, as a keeper you will see the need. you will know the story of its life. then you will leave the penance. it could be as easy as cookies for a child we let die of hunger or it could be more complex. this is now a burden we share. your brothers and sisters will know your mom and dad will know. But when you get older."she chuckles to herself "your relatives will think your crazy and eccentric spending money on a whim. And maybe one of them will eat a cookie or steal some of the money left out or some other nonsense then they will take your place until our debt is repaid."
Snapping back from his thoughts. "Well Professor Farnsley seems your the man I've been looking for where shall we begin?"
