Justin had experienced plenty in his life, but nothing like this. Growing up in the orphanages he'd heard of plenty of ghost stories, but he never let on how disturbed he was by them. After all, he was Justin Credible.
But this was different. This wasn't just some story he was selling to customers on the streets. This wasn't one of those spirit photographs he saw at the carnivals. This was an honest to God apparition, and he was chilled to the bone.
Instinctively, Justin tried to grab the nearest object to put space between him and the specter. He grabs what looked like an elaborate but light enough chair, pointing the legs towards the specter.
"(Undecipherable exclamation of surprise)!!!!!"

Archie jumps and takes a step back from the ghost. He looks around at the others and hopes that they didn't see his reaction. He finally looks back at the ghost. "Where did you get that thing?"
Baxter is pointing at Archie and his body seems to be shaking slightly. It is hard to tell because he can't vocalize anything, but he is laughing at Archie.

The more intently he stares the more Alfredo's soul shakes, its flickers and glows take him back to the first time he had seen a ghost. It was a memory forever etched in his mind, a hot sticky night in august. He was working on a case that required the examination of Mrs. Helga Hasselhoff. Unfortunately Mrs. Hasselhoff was buried in a plot in Munich Waldfriedhof. He still remembers the thrill of diging her up so he could try his new examination process. He normally does not like doing this kind of work himself, but he needed this body out as soon as possible.
Being in a graveyard alone was very unnerving, but the sounds were what scared him the most. Every now and again he had to stop and look at the moon and stars to settle his nerves. When he looked back down he saw a faint glow coming towards him. At first he thought it could have been a lantern from the crypt keeper. But the closer it came the more he could see the glows blue hue. Always on his guard Alfredo scrambled up out of the grave. Turning around he came face to face With the glowing severed head of Helga Hasselhoff.
Alfredo yelled, "Mein gott im himmel"! He turned and ran faster than he ever had in his life. He hurdled tombstone after tombstone, sweat flying off his brow. He was heading into clear as his shoes slipped on a rock sending him flying behind a tree, his head missing it by inches! He peered around the tree to see the glow had gone. As his heart settled down he had come to two realizations. 1 He had pee'd his pants...Alot. 2 He had solved the murder of Helga Hasselhoff!
Alfredo snaps back into the present and yells, "Please heir Farnsby, please cover zee head! "Your scaring poor Baxter!" Hoping no one would notice his knees shaking.

holding the unfamiliar "cane" in his hand he flips the switch indicated by the professor, as he points it to the specter. (E-t=14 w=5)

"Fizzing job, there Charles! I thought I'd have to throw some fisticuffs with that thing if it came any closer, but I'm not sure how spirits would take one to the chin. "
"Professor, you've got my attention. "

"Umm YEs, quite right quite right." Charles looks a little stunned and aghast, at the whole spectacle. being handed a "cane" and told to flip a switch is quite unnerving even for one so proficient at being near specters. the arc of lightning itself was enough to make one want to take a pull of brandy. "Does it do that all the time or is it like my good elephant gun needing special cartridges?" holding the cane in his hand he absently pats his coat like he's reaching for a flask.

"Well Professor you had my curiosity, but now you have my attention." Archie steps a little closer to Charles trying to inspect the cane that the professor had handed him.

Alfredo peering from behind a table stands up slow hoping no one notices him. He walks over and smacks Lord Calabash on the Back! He bellows out, "Jolly good Herr Callabash, you showed zat wanker what for! I very much like zees electro magigies!"

"Well worked professor, extraordinary. your craftsmanship is exquisite. I say if this little dabble into the paranormal doesn't work out you could probably open a shop in Kensington. Gentleman can always use a good cane for a stroll through parliament. I should say though we should get down to the "brass tacks" as it were. How did you finance this endeavor? What are these "slugs Made from? Are our services rendered to any chap that hails us, or is there a growing pattern of hauntings? What, oh yes I could use a good luncheon my early start has left me a might peckish."

Justin looks at his new dusters in awe, and immediately dons them. He throws a few combos, ending with an uppercut and poses . "Gonna have to get used to the weight. Might end up looking like Eugene Sandow , but I'm not complainin'. Truly, prof. Many thanks. " Justin looks to the other men with a grin:" I ain't no medium or seer or nuthin', but I predict We gonna have a bit of fun, aren't we fellas? Give some ghosts some anointing? "

Archie puts the cane he is handed down and instead goes for a pair of wrought iron knuckles. "Definitely going to be fun..."
"I do say I am feeling quite famished and lunch is a good idea." As he goes to make his way upstairs he looks to Baxter. "Do be a good chap and follow us back up, Baxter."
Baxter quits twirling one of the canes and nods to Archie.
As they are walking Archie stays close to the Professor. "What kinds of questions do you have about my assistant."
