"Slayte, what the hell is this?" Himiko turned to the Rocket Admin as the both of them sat in the back of a surprisingly spacious trailer being driven by some random asshole who had been adamant about finding ghosts or something. "I thought you said this was something important." How exactly she ended up being dragged along was a mysterious in itself. Slayte had pulled her aside for help with some "very serious" business. Not one to turn away a chance to brown nose, Himiko jumped at the opportunity to score some brownie points with some higher rank people. That left her currently sitting in some metal shed on wheels, surrounding by a bunch of random junk on the walls.

The truck came to a stop a short distance away from an abandoned looking village that was just a short drive away from Verdanturf Town. Outside of the window lay a derelict town, cloaked in darkness as the annuls of time marched forward on. From atop the cracked roof tiles was the reclamation of nature. A curtain of vines and moss had spread over the town while the door lowered itself for the two in the back to see their task at hand. "Looks like we're here." Himiko said, walking to stand before the grand wall of useless shit. A radio on the table crackled with electricity as a mysterious voice spoke to the both of them.

"Welcome to Foothill, got a job for you two! Check the board when you're read-"

"There's no back here, just give it to us, stop wasting our time!"

"A tragedy befell this town long ago. Everyone mysteriously disappeared, and the ghosts that stuck around here are violent."

"God ahead, spill it already."

"Everyone left is either an apparition or a ghoul! It's your job to figure out what those ghosts are and report back! Oh, and maybe figure out what happened. That last part doesn't matter all that much."

Himiko groaned, turning her attention to the walls filled with items and reached for a flashlight alongside a camera and a stand. "Well, guess we've got nothing else better to do."
