Entry 9

INTR: It's dark, and the camera is pointed at the ground. A door closes softly and Maka is talking softly. A sudden green light flicks on and there's a slightly better visual.

MAKA: She flicks the camera around to herself. Hello. It's midnight and we're getting started with the investigation. We're splitting up into teams. Myself, Crona and Soul, then Kid, Liz and Patti, and Black Star with Tsubaki. She turns the camera back to the group, where Liz is hunched over with her arms crossed, Black Star and Tsubaki are giggling about something and Crona's eyes flash in the darkness. Kid and Soul are handing out walky-talkies. Does everyone have a camera?

BLACK STAR: HERE IT-

ENSEMBLE: SHHHHHHH!

MAKA: Be quiet! We aren't the only ones here. Anyway. Team one, She points to Soul and Crona is going to be on the second floor, first in room 11 and then in the hallway. Team Two KId, Liz and Patti is going down to the saloon where people hear piano playing and then to room 13. Team three Black Star and Tsubaki are covering the third floor. Everyone got it?

Murmurs of agreement and nodding. Patti is already holding up her camera. Tsubaki ties her long hair back from her face.

MAKA: Her excitement is clear in her voice. Okay. Let's break.

CUT TO BLACK.

TEAM ONE.

INTR: Maka is sitting on one of the twin beds. Soul holds the camera and much of the time it is focused on her, only occasionally darting over to Crona's face. Maka's grinning excitedly as she turns on the recorder and places the EMF meter between herself and Crona.

MAKA: Okay here we go. She clears her throat The time is 12:08 and we're in room 11 at the Silver Queen Hotel. My name is Maka, and with me is Soul and Crona. IS there anyone here tonight? Anyone who wants to talk to us? Is a woman named Rosie here?

In between each question, Maka pauses for about thirty seconds. It's silent and the EMF meter stays dark. Soul keeps the camera focused on her. The bed creaks as Crona shifts their weight.

CRONA: Ma'am if you are here, would you mind walking closer? W-we can't hear you very well.

Soul jumps when the EMF meter's lights flash. Maka's eyes go wide, and she squeals quietly. The lights flash once, twice, three times in approx six seconds.

SOUL: No way.

MAKA: Is this Rosie? Are you the woman who killed herself in here? The lights go all the way up to red. Oh my god. Soul, you're getting this? The camera bobs as Soul nods. He turns to Crona slightly. Their face is shadowy and the only part we can really see is their eyes.

CRONA: Rosie, is anyone else here? The lights stay dark. I'm sorry. You must be lonely. Still dark. Crona says the next part softly. I-is that why you died? Because you were lonely? The lights flash red. Crona holds up a hand. S-sorry!

MAKA: So you killed yourself? The lights shut off. Do you not want to talk about it? The lights stay off and Crona sits up at little. Rosie?

CRONA: I think she's left the room. Maka groans.

MAKA: But we were doing so well! Did you see how strong those responses were? Do you think you can find her again, Crona? If we walk around?

CRONA: They look a little uncomfortable, shifting on the bed. Maybe? We can wait to see if she comes back.

MAKA: What do you think Soul? Stay or walk around?

SOUL: Um. If she left, we should go follow her right?

CRONA: They sigh softly. Okay.

CUT TO BLACK.

TEAM TWO.

INTR: The camera is on a table, facing Liz, Kid and Patti. Liz is on her phone, and Patti is playing with the recorder. Kid looking around, unimpressed.

KID: Did Maka give clear instructions, or shall we sit here until something happens?

LIZ: We should leave. We should go get in the van and ditch them. Please?

PATTI: We should start just, you know, asking questions. That's what they always do on Ghost Hunters.

LIZ: Seriously let's please leave.

KID: He sighs and takes the recorder, turning it on. Yes, hello. This is Kid Morte. It's 12:30, Virginia Nevada, in the Silver Queen Hotel. If there is something here tonight can you, perhaps, knock on the table? Silence. He raises an eyebrow.

LIZ: She whines and hides her face.

PATTI: It's okay Liz. Hey, ghost, if you're here, would you mind making some kind of noise? Or um, playing the piano? We've heard that you like playing the piano.

Silence. Liz is hardly breathing and Kid is looking around boredly.

KID: This is ridiculous. I can't believe Maka is making us sit in this unorganized, dusty, saloon. Why did I agree to this?

PATTI: Because if you don't she'll tell-

KID: Besides that!

PATTI: Hehehehe. Maybe the ghost will tell your little secret to-

There's a sudden bang. Liz shrieks and jumps up, looking around.

LIZ: What the EVer Loving fuck! Nope!

KID: That came from upstairs.

LIZ: If it was one of the other teams they would have used the walky talkies to let us know they were moving. So what the ever loving fuck-

KID: There's a couple in the Bridal Suit. I think it was probably them.

She slowly sits down, trembling slightly.

PATTI: Anyway. If there is someone here, are you mad about people just coming in all the time? Like wasn't this your home?

Silence. Patti taps her fingers on the table.

PATTI: I don't think this is going anywhere.

CUT TO BLACK.

TEAM ONE.

INTR. Second floor hallway. Soul is walking behind Maka and Crona, who is holding the EMF. The lights are consistently in the green now, because of more electronics in the rooms. They walk up and down the hallway, floorboards creaking and the dim sound of outside traffic.

MAKA: It's about one am, and we've been walking up and down, trying to see if we can get Rosie to talk to us again.

SOUL: Come out come out wherever you are?

Crona's very quiet. Suddenly they stop and Soul nearly walks into them. He backs up and from the back we see their back. Standing straight up and not hunched we finally see how much taller Crona is than Maka. They're about a head taller with Maka in heels. Their scarf is looped around their throat and their hair is back in a pony tail. Not a single muscle moves. It's so dark it's hard to see if they are even breathing.

MAKA: Crona?

A sudden thumping makes Soul and Maka jump. Soul spins with the camera, but there nothing down the hallway. The thumps comes again, closer. Again. Again. Again. Down the hallway closer to the three.

SOUL: H-hello? Liz? Crona yelps and and Soul spins back to them, the camera shaking.

CRONA: Something just pulled on my scarf!

MAKA: Who is it? Who's there? Is this Rosie?

Quiet. Then more thumping, the closest yet. Soul Takes a step backwards, but then the camera lurches, and we hear him stumble. Maka cries out as they both get pushed into the wall. Soul springs back, the lens scraping the wall.

SOUL: That was not me! What the fuck? Maka I didn't do that!

MAKA: It touched you! Touch me! Push me, I dare you!

CRONA: Maka, don't provoke it. Their voice is very serious.

MAKA: I can handle it Crona. Come on if that was Rosie, why don't you come over here and push me? You were being cool while we were in the room, why are you pushing us around n-

Soul stumbles as he gets touched/shoved again. Crona backs up against the wall, looking nervous.

CRONA: Maka, please stop! We should go back to the room.

SOUL: Straightening up, we have a zoom in on Maka's face as he fumbles the buttons. I agree, this is getting seriously hairy Maka.

MAKA: Oh but this is so exciting. Seeing Crona's and Soul's seriously unimpressed looks, she sighs. Oh alright. We'll go back to the room. Hopefully Rosie will follow us.

CRONA: Quietly, out of Maka's earshot. I don't think that was Rosie.

CUT TO BLACK

TEAM TWO

Team two has gotten up and started walking around. Liz is holding herself and practically tripping into Patti from how close she is to her sister. Kid is holding the camera, doing slow methodical sweeps of the room.

KID: We have been doing loops around this room for an hour. I have yet to seeing anything more than how hideously dusty this room truly is. What kind of person would want their wedding reception to be here? When I get married, it shall be a clean, beautiful ballroom.

PATTI: For your marriage to Crona right?

KID: Ye- NO! Be quiet, Patricia.

LIZ: All I want is to live long enough to get married. Please Can we leave, haven't we wandered around long enough now? It's like, almost two am!

KID: We can't leave until Maka calls us back with the- I'm sorry did you hear that?

PATTI: Hear what?

All three go quiet for a moment, listening. Faintly, the strings of a piano can be heard. The camera pans over to where the piano is, clearly un-occupied.

LIZ: You have GOT to be shitting me. She's nearly in tears.

PATTI: Huh. Don't see that everyday.

KID: That's not possible. He walks over to the piano, setting the camera down on a nearby table. We see him study the piano, running his hands on the top and keyboard. He even gets down and looks underneath. We hear Liz whimpering from the other side of the room.

KID: I'm positive this is was rigged with wires to play at odd intervals. Nothing to worry about Liz. She continues whimpering. Come one Liz, re-

PATTI: What is that?

Kid turns and starts. Then he rushes over and grabs the camera, whipping it around to point at a corner of the room where a ball of light shoots into the wall.

LIZ: What the fuck was that?!

KID: I-I don't know.

PATTI: That was a orb! That's so cool!

LIZ: No! Not cool Patti, not at all! Please, please, please, lets go back upstairs, come one, please. She is honestly begging.

KID: He sighs and turns the camera from the corner of the room where all is dark and still and to Liz's face. She's on the verge of tears and clutching Patti's hand. He turns it back towards the door and starts walking towards it. Yes. let's go back. I think we've seen enough to satisfy Maka at least.

Cut to black.

TEAM ONE

Team One is back in Maka and Crona's room. Crona is sitting on the bed, and from the angle of the camera we can only really see the whites of their eyes, lit up in a ghostly green glow. Soul and Maka are talking in the background when there's a sudden loud knock on the door. Everyone jumps and Maka immediately darts up to get it.

MAKA: Flings open the door and there is Black Star, head held high and and a blushing Tsubaki. They're pushed into the room by Patti who is grinning and Liz who almost tramples everyone to get in and out of the endlessly dark hallway. Kid comes in last, frowning. Maka is audibly furious when she shuts the door. What the hell are you all doing here? We're suppose to stay split up!

KID: We were downstairs like you told us-

PATTI: We saw an orb Maka! Also the piano started playing!

KID: But I think that was just because the piano is rigged. He snorts. A cheap cash in no doubt.

MAKA: Really?! Oh my god that's so great, you got it on tape right? Let me see! She grabs the camera from Kid who sits next to Crona.

KID: We saw something, Patti, we don't know it was an orb, it could have been a reflection. Anyway, we were headed back up when guess who we find-

LIZ: Making out in the stairwell! The camera shifts over to Black Star and Tsubaki. Tsubaki looks somewhat abashed but is still grinning. Black Star just reaches over to hi-five Soul.

MAKA: Furiously. Did you guys film anything then? Or have you been jerking off this whole time?

BLACK STAR: Nah, we hadn't gotten that far yet. The camera was on though. Maka groans.

MAKA: Unbelievable. Well we at least got some stuff. She explains about Rosie lighting up the EMF meter and both Soul and Crona getting touched in the hallway. By the end Kid looks slightly less dubious and more concerned.

BLACK STAR: Then are we done? It sounds like we found everything we wanted.

Maka seems like she ready to protest. She opens her mouth but Crona interrupts.

CRONA: Yes. We're done for tonight. We found the evidence we wanted, and if the activity is telling us to stop, pushing us and pulling on clothes, we should respect it.

MAKA: Reluctantly. Yeah, go ahead and go back to your rooms. But Soul remember to leave the camera in your guys on okay?

The camera nods and everyone says their goodnights. Liz practically drags Patti out and Tsubaki giggles when Black Star takes her hand. We here her half laughed apology to Maka before the door closes and the camera shuts off.

CUT TO BLACK.

WHITE TEXT ON A BLACK SCREEN: PART 1. PART 2 WILL BE UP SHORTLY. WE JUST CUT TOGETHER THE VIABLE PARTS FOR YOU GUYS. UNFORTUNATELY WE WEREN'T ALLOWED TO EXAMINE THE PIANO MORE CLOSELY. ALSO NOTHING OF BLACK STARS WAS USEABLE. JUST A LOT OF DARKNESS AND SOME REALLY AWKWARD MOANING. ANYWAY THANKS GUYS FOR LIKING AND SUBSCRIBING.
