| Trodemus uses a Trigger Object! |
Trodemus, Belinda, and the camera crew walked into the restaurant. It was the same restaurant Trodemus and Belinda had eaten at on the night they saw a wine glass fly across the room and smash against the wall. That incident had been the first supernatural occurrence in the “Haunting of Doom.” This fact now prompted Trodemus to believe that the restaurant was the origin site for the haunting, and it needed thorough investigation.
The wine glass incident was similar to the action of the vibrator in the bathroom. After the vibrator fell to the floor, Trodemus checked the bathroom for signs of paranormal activity. When nothing turned up, Trodemus remembered the wine glass in the restaurant, and made plans to go there for the investigation.
It was after hours, and the restaurant was closed. Trodemus had contacted the restaurant owner about his new reality show, TRODEMUS, SEEKER OF SPECTERS, and he had granted them permission to film there. Since the ghost seemed to have an affinity for objects, Trodemus decided to use a different device from the EMF meter to detect it. It was what paranormal investigators call a trigger object, which is any inanimate object that is used to spur interaction with ghosts. Trigger objects are usually items that the particular ghost has an attachment to. Since the ghost seemed to be attacking Trodemus’ business, he placed several of his business cards on a guest table in the hopes that it would interact with them in some way.
“Now, Ghost! Trodemus, Seeker of Specters commands your attention! He has placed these business cards for Trodemus’ Psychic Parlor of Doom before you! If it is your purpose to harm the Prophet of Doom’s business, then MOVE these cards from the table!”
Belinda was behind him near the kitchen area. She found a menu and began to read it, excited about all the fancy food the restaurant had added since her last visit. One of the camera men began to film her, as she once again had a low-cut, tight top on. She was later interviewed in reality show fashion, about her thoughts on Trodemus’ attempts at finding the ghost in the restaurant up to that point. When the show was finished, the bottom of the screen (below Belinda) would read:
BELINDA--TRODEMUS’ ASSISTANT AND GIRLFRIEND
“What do I think about Troddie being unable to contact the ghost here so far? I dunno I’m hungry! Have you SEEN the new food on this menu?!?”
“Maybe the ghost is shy or something? If we’d come here during regular business hours, it might be more willing to interact, and I could place an order!”
Trodemus frowned. “Bah! Why does the ghost not move the business cards? Is it because they were a tax write-off? The Seeker of Specters has no time for this!”
“Give it some money, Troddie! Everybody likes money!” Belinda smirked over at her man from the menu she was reading.
Trodemus smiled back at Belinda, and thought to himself that pulling out some cash for use as a trigger object wasn’t a bad idea! He reached into his cloak and pulled out a $100 bill!
“Ghost! See the Profit of D--” Trodemus was cut off mid-sentence as the $100 bill suddenly BURST INTO FLAMES!
