| DEATH returns! |
After the $100 bill burst into flames, Trodemus was distraught. For the first time, he truly believed that the haunting could cause his business to fail! Money catching fire was not a game, and Trodemus placed all the money he had in his psychic parlor in a fireproof safe. He kept one $100 bill in his cloak to test at another former site of paranormal activity--the Haunted House of Doom!
Trodemus realized that the warnings of his business failing from his dream, the appearance of “Death,” and the message on the bathroom mirror all lined up with what the other paranormal events were targeting--his profits and the things he had bought with them. While the particular wine glass that flew across the restaurant had not been purchased by Trodemus, their meal had been, and it seemed that was the target. Trodemus also discovered the vibrator had been purchased secretly by Belinda, but with money he gave her from his profits.
Of all the profits and purchases so far, the Haunted House of Doom was the biggest, and had gathered the largest amount of paranormal activity during its run. Perhaps it was the true nexus of this haunting of Doom! Since the paranormal activity increased in intensity when greater profits of Doom were offered up, Trodemus felt that raising the $100 bill inside the Haunted House of Doom would either cause a cataclysmic destruction of his profits, or disprove any supernatural haunting of his finances.
The Haunted House of Doom was an old abandoned home that Trodemus had rented for a few weeks with his Psychic Parlor profits. He had spent more money on it than anything else in his business (since they were given the Psychic Parlor rent-free, courtesy of Stardust), but he had made even more off of it as the Haunted House of Doom! Trodemus walked through the front door, and was followed by Belinda, the Potbellied Ninja, and the camera crew for SEEKER OF SPECTRES.
BELINDA--TRODEMUS’ ASSISTANT AND GIRLFRIEND
“So we returned to the old Haunted House of Doom to check it out. Luckily, the landlord had no current tenants, so we had free access to the place.”
TRODEMUS--SEEKER OF SPECTERS
“Yes, I will continue to hold this $100 bill up as we make our way through the house. The Seeker of Specters knows what he is doing!”
The group made their way through the entire house with no occurrences, and the EMF meter was unable to pick up anything. Finally, they reached the back door of the house, where Trodemus had first encountered the ghost…and DEATH! They had appeared before Trodemus on the last night of the Haunted House of Doom, and Death warned Doom that his business would indeed fail. Trodemus walked out the back door, then turned to look back at the house. Suddenly, the $100 bill he held in his hand withered away and became dust! Then a dark mist rose between Trodemus and the house and grew until Belinda, the Potbellied Ninja, and the camera crew was completely obscured from view. Out of the dark mist came…DEATH!
“Bah! Death! The Prophet of Doom knows you are the cause of all this! What other entity would have such motivation to bring my livelihood to ruin?”
Death spoke in a gravelly voice. “Trodemus. I do not cause the ruination of your business! I am simply here to direct you. The Haunted House of Doom is not the source of the haunting. It lies closer to home. You must look at those who would stand to gain from your loss, and read things, line for line!”
“Death, you speak in riddles! Trodemus demands to know what you mean!”
Death then turned, and faded away with the dark mist, leaving Trodemus with more questions. What did Death mean? Who would stand to gain from the loss of his business? Then, Trodemus had an epiphany! He ran back into the Haunted House of Doom.
“Troddie, what’s wrong?”
Trodemus frowned. “Belinda, we have to go! Everyone! Back to the Psychic Parlor of Doom at once! I have discovered just who is the cause of all this! Chief Blacktoes is about to get some visitors!”
