[attr="class","skullbody"]Were the labs always this dark at this hour? Isaac could've sworn the notoriously over-caffeinated, under-rested, and heinously-ambitious science team never let ten minutes pass without blowing something up. Yet here the labs lay, dormant and empty. Were they all at a sleepover or something?[break][break] Pah. Not that it mattered, anyway. So what if it was dark? So what if it was alone? So what if, without any interlopers or witnesses, a ghost could kill, possess, or do worse to Isaac with no shot at failure? It was fine! Everything was fine! It'd be like one of Cygne's horror screenplays. Totally.[break][break] Yet, as luck would have it, Isaac wasn't alone. In eyes still adapting to the darkness, he could faintly make out another figure. A woman, fairly short, in some kind of power stance- yep, Isaac didn't need to look any further, alright. Only Ruby Garcia, queen of the chip on her shoulder, carried herself like that.[break][break] Briefly, Isaac considered the Usual. Go over, be all "hey, I'm Isaac, so what's the mission?" Yadda, yadda, so tiresome! He must've done that song and dance, like, 20 times this month! No, it was time for a change of pace. The notoriously unflappable Ruby Garcia was right here, in the dark, alone, surrounded by rumors of scary shit. He hadn't caught her notice yet, and he was an expert at sneaking quickly and quietly through the darkness.[break][break] When would he ever have another chance to pull off a prank like this.[break][break] A whisper of "Cupboards" to Watson was all he needed. The croc saluted, scampered off, and began opening and closing every cupboard door that he could find. It was as if a storm had broken out in the middle of the lab, even if any ominous breezes that followed were surely one's overactive imagination.[break][break] As Watson set the scene, Isaac crept forward, making sure to avoid Ruby's sight to the best of his ability. "Do you believe in ghosts?" Isaac asked, throwing out his voice in a hushed stage whisper. Just loud enough to hear, just wispy enough to feel ethereal, and thrown so it sounded like it was coming from above. Perfect. He quickened his pace now, just as Watson quickened the pace of his cupboard slamming.[break][break] Finally, he was behind Ruby. The cupboard slamming stopped. The room fell quiet. Isaac, without saying a word, held his hand just close enough to hover over Ruby's shoulder. This time, when he threw his voice, it came from below; a low, ominous voice dredged up from Hell itself.[break][break] "What else could that white hand on your shoulder be?"[break] [attr="class","skullcredits"] TAIKO![newclass=.skullhover]width:420px;-webkit-filter: grayscale(100%);filter: grayscale(100%);-webkit-transition:all 1s ease;transition:all 1s ease;-webkit-transition-delay:0.1s;[/newclass] [newclass=.skullhover:hover]-webkit-filter: grayscale(0%);filter: grayscale(0%)-webkit-transition:all 1s ease;transition:all 1s ease;[/newclass] [newclass=.skullimg]width:380px;height:200px;background-image:url(https://i.imgur.com/HOVZp0J.png); background-repeat:no-repeat;[/newclass] [newclass=.skulltitle]font-family:verdana;font-weight:700;font-size:50px;position:relative;text-align:center;color:#D9B800;margin-top:-36px;margin-bottom:0px;text-shadow: -1px 0 black, 0 1px black, 1px 0 black, 0 -1px black;[/newclass] [newclass=.skulloverlap]letter-spacing:1px;font-family:oswald;font-weight:200;font-size:12px;position:relative;text-align:center;margin-top:-0;margin-bottom:-5px;color:#e8e8e8;text-shadow: -1px 0 black, 0 1px black, 1px 0 black, 0 -1px black;[/newclass] [newclass=.skullbody]div-align:center;text-align:justify;width:380px;font-size:12px;font-family:roboto;color:#d6d6d6;[/newclass] [newclass=.skullbody b]color:#d9b800;[/newclass] [newclass=.skullinfo]width:380px;font-family:oswald;font-size:12px;font-weight:200;color:#767676;text-align:right[/newclass] [newclass=.skullcredits]width:380px;font-family:roboto;font-size:12px;text-align:center;[/newclass] [googlefont=Oswald] [googlefont=Roboto]
