w: nana and i spent the better part of a week taking notes on those things; everything we learned i wrote down in this book.

l: learned how exactly?

w: nana knows things. lots of things.

l: that’s not really –

r: not important. tell us what you two found out, will.

w: ah… well. basically. whatever those things are, they can be… spoken to. kinda like ghosts but they’re not ghosts. 

r: how do you know they’re not ghosts?

w: i… don’t, i guess. but ghosts don’t have the power to alter reality like the Disturbances do. or make people disappear entirely. that kinda power isn’t something you come by in your regular, garden variety ghost.

d: you said they can be spoken to. how, exactly?

w: ah, yeah. you can interact with them but you have to be attuned to do so. like nana is. 

l: we’re boned.

w: not quite. there’s another way, but… it’s risky. basically, you have to… strike a deal with the thing.

l: a deal? what is this, a game show or something?

w: i wish. instead of scoring a new car, you end up possessed.

r: wait, what?

l: you said it wasn’t a ghost!
w: it isn’t. but whatever it is, it can inhabit a living body. as far as nana and i can tell, it’s not like spirit possession. the thing can’t control you or override your personality. you just kind of… gain the ability to sense the things. see them.

d: so what you’re saying is… if we want to get to the bottom of this, one of us has to… be possessed by the thing.

w: long story short, yeah.
r: well… fuck.

w: so… lemme get this straight. there’s some kinda… Disturbance out at the old cupcake factory and instead of doing the typical oasis springs thing and steering clear of it for, like, ever, you’ve decided to… check it out. again.
r: i mean… yeah. that’s about the size of it.
w: you’re all nuts. and i’m nuts for helping you. but i did agree to help so let’s get to –
l: i thought nobody knew what those things were.
w: nobody does. but nana and i have been… experimenting with some things; we have a general idea of what’ll work and what won’t.
l: so we are going to die. good!
d: nobody’s going to die, luka.
l: you don’t know that! one second it’s all chill, we’re skulking around the cupcake factory, next second – boom, factory’s been teleported to fuckin’ nega-space or something and we never –
w: okay, so you guys don’t want to know what i know, then.
r: ignore luka, he watches too much innsmouth stories.
w: you can never watch too much innsmouth stories. anyway. let’s start, shall we?

???: … well. this can’t be good.
r: that’s like. not even a hello, what gives?
l: see. even she knows this is a bad idea and she doesn’t even know what we’re doing.
d: luka, chill out already, wouldja? [ahem] heyyy, will. we need your help. 🙂
w: i figured. i also figure i’m gonna regret this later on, judging by the look on all of your faces.
d: c’mon, aren’t you at all curious?
w: … a bit. not enough to go taunting fate, but… alright. fine. come inside.
r: you’re a star, will.
w: uh-huh. i want that in writing so when this goes tits up, you can’t blame me.
