A/N: So here it is! You all wanted to know what an RPG hotel was and I hope I did a good job explaining. I actually have a confession to make. Adventure Suites is a real place! It was the inspiration for Daydreams although I've never actually been inside. Its in North Conway, New Hampshire, United States. You can Google it!! Just put in Adventure Suites and you can see what it looks like. In my defense and just so you're not confused, everything I say about Adventure Suites I am making up, I've never been inside I only drive by it on my way to Conway. there are even more than ten rooms, cuz there's only ten in my story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Ghost Hunt but I do own a copy of 'Up' which is the cutest movie ever!! :) I also do not Adventure Suites but I'm only saying it once :P

Okay I'm done. Read on.

Chapter 3: Y is for Y am I making tea?

"This is base." Naru explained to Mai, after Lin and herself had carried all of the equipment in to the hotel Managers office.

"Base?" Mai questioned. She was still wondering why a dozen computer screens and cameras were necessary, especially since she was out of breath from carrying them inside as fast as she could.

"Yes, I'll explain it to you since you seem to have a hard time understanding the concept. This is where we'll all gather for meetings, where we'll keep the computers and other supplies and where Lin and I will be spending the most time in during the case." Naru drawled. "Now since you can't seem to do anything correctly I suppose I'll have to come with you and show you how to set up the cameras and microphones."

Mai's hands were balled in to fists. She took two deep breaths that didn't calm her and then crossed her arms.

"Why am I the only one required to do all of this stuff! What am I your servant?" she shrieked, unable to hold in her anger any longer.

"No," Naru said simply, picking up a camera and a microphone from the desk, "Rather, you're my assistant for this case since you seem pretty useless and I'll be needing someone to do menial labor."

You can imagine, at this point, Mai is ready to explode.

"Ah, Mai, there you are!" an all-too-friendly voice says in her ear.

She tenses, turning around to meet Eric's eyes.

"I was looking for you, maybe we could have a psychic connection together." he said, moving his hands to point to his head.

"I'm afraid not." Naru said icily, he grabbed Mai's arm and led her away from the base. "I'll be needing her for more significant tasks."

Mai groaned. Why her?

Mai was wandering the hotel with a walkie talkie strapped to her belt and Takigawa in tow.

"So, what exactly is making this place...haunted?" Mai asked him. She had missed the owners initial report because she'd been setting up cameras with Naru.

Upon exploring Adventure Suites she'd discovered that there were ten rooms in all for guests and even though they all appeared to be different buildings from the outside they were actually connected by a long hallway on the inside.

Each room was decorated according to name. Blacksmith, Schoolhouse, firehouse, jungle room, etcetera and each room came with outfits, food and instructions for how to have the best RPG experience. In the past, however, the rooms used to have actors that dressed up to match the setting of each of the rooms. The actors acted as the guests slaves during the duration of their stay.

"The actors." Takigawa replied simply, "They're haunting the rooms. You know a schoolteacher in the schoolhouse and stuff. The guests are being scared away."

Mai frowned, "Oh, are you sure?"

She was new to this, and in self-denial, but that didn't mean that she lacked intuition. If anything the thought of ten individual spirits each haunting their own room sounded a little far-fetched.

"Pretty sure, the owner said so herself," the Monk said, giving her a weird look and propping his hands behind his head as they headed back to base. Unfortunately Naru must have seen them headed his way because her Walkie Talkie beeped and then his voice receded from the device.

"Mai, make yourself useful and get me some tea." Naru ordered.

"Tea?" she asked incredulously, "Why tea?"

But he didn't reply and Mai knew that there wasn't a choice in the matter.

She waved goodbye to Takigawa and headed back in to the kitchen that the owners had shown them earlier. Currently it was around 5 0'clock and the owners had had to close down the hotel because of the state of things, so no one was around.

Entering the kitchen she spotted a teapot on the stove and filled it to boil. Begrudgingly she took out a cup and tea bag, some sugar as well, and put everything out on the counter.

She did notice that the toaster in the far corner was on and someone had put bread inside to toast.

Not having the energy to inspect farther she fell against a chair by the kitchen table and pulled out her cell-phone.

She had Gene's number and she texted him, punching each key with malice.

Mai: Y am I making your brother tea?

Several minutes later she got her response.

Gene: He likes tea.

Mai: What am I? A maid?

Gene: -sigh- No, you're his assistant.

Mai: That's even worse. I don't remember asking for this.

Suddenly the double doors to the kitchen burst open and Yasuhara stood in the doorway, slightly out of breath.

"What's that smell?" he demanded.

"Servitude." Mai dead-panned.

"No, I think the toast is burning."

"It's getting late." Naru observed, placing his third cup of tea on the desk in front of him. Mai stood by the doorway, half-hidden behind Takigawa as she tried to control her impatience. She was really sick of getting tea and then sitting beside Naru in base as he stared at an unmoving screen for hours on end. She was on her last nerve. "Everyone should pack in for the night. We're going to be staying across the parking lot in the managers summer home. Once there the girls will stay in the bedrooms upstairs and the men will stay downstairs. Its an old house so there won't be much room. Only take what you need. Alright you all can leave."

Mai sighed, rubbing her forehead to drain the headache away, when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She jumped a little and turned to see someone she recognized. Hanako Haru, the medium from the meeting earlier.

She seemed scared.

"Hey, are you alright Hanako?" Mai asked in concern.

The girl nodded and cleared her throat, "I-uh, I wasn't sure if you knew."

Mai furrowed her eyebrows, "Knew what?"

"You are a psychic right? You should know. Can't you feel them?"

Mai tensed, feeling slightly creeped out by this girls blatant response. "Feel who?"

"The people who died here," Hanako said, twirling her shirt in her fingers, "They feel you. They actually...like you, better than the others. You should be careful."

Mai's eyes widened, "I'll be sure to look out for them Hanako. Why don't you go get some rest?"

After a second Hanako nodded and turned away, disappearing behind Lin's tall frame. She seemed to like Lin, she clung to his side and barely took notice of the fact that he was staring at her like she was a tarantula rather than an adorable little girl.

Mai only stood there, in the base, wondering what Hanako had meant by 'them.' Mai had been sure, to some extent, that not all of the actors were haunting the building. But there were more than one. Hanako had confirmed that.

Briefly Mai stood in the doorway of the base and waited until everyone was past her and in the hall. Only Naru was walking behind the rest of them, he seemed slower than the others, and even he turned the corner at the end of the hall.

Once she was alone Mai turned around slowly, feeling the hairs on the back of her neck rising in aspiration.

"Mai."

She screamed, throwing her hands behind her to protect herself.

"Mai. What are you doing?" she knew that voice. Opening her eyes she met Naru's glower with an unblinking stare.

"You're not an evil supernatural thing." she said in surprise.

"You're not very smart, are you?"

It had been a long eventful day. The longest, it seemed, that Mai had ever lived through. She'd been dragged to England. Forced in to a ghost hunting team. Made a slave to the most narcissistic teenager on the face of the planet and been told by a little girl that 'they' were after her.

Needless to say she was slightly exhausted.

"Long day?" Ayako asked as Mai collapsed on to the bed she had claimed earlier.

"You could say that." Mai smiled, practically melting in to the comforter. The entire bed was warm and cozy. She could just...fall......asleep........

There you have it!! I hope you liked the light-heartedness of this chapter because it gets serious in the next one. But its still funny I swear(I hope)!

THANK YOU!! For all of your wonderful reviews!! You guys are amazing!! If you don't press the green button I'll kill off Gene (again!)!!

Just kidding, I think Naru would kill me if I killed off Gene -_-"
