Velma didn’t seem like she was paying much attention to the redhead’s idle banter, nose very thoroughly buried in a book as she spoke... that is, until the mention of her hypothetical ‘snack’ came up; eyes peering up to Daphne, then back at the book, then back to Daphne, before she sighed and closed it shut.

“Carrot cake granola.” She answers instantly, as if it’s the most obvious thing in the world. “Comes with a distinctive orange coloration, and helps improve your eyesight.” An explanation punctuated by a tap upon the rim of her glasses. 

“I’d personally throw in pumpkin seeds, hazelnuts, and caffeinated dark chocolate chips as well- to provide a healthy boost to mental activity. That’s probably too much to ask from a generic, mass-produced snack item though.” And with that, she opens her book back up and returns to reading.

@jlnkies​

“How long do you think until there’s snacks based on all of us? I want mine to be jelly filled and in the shape of my head. Yours would probably taste all mathematically and knowledgeable. Like a pencil! Or a book. Book-pencil taste.” It takes her a second to realize just how terrible of a taste that would be.

“Never mind. I don’t want a Velma Snacks anymore. I’ll just have regular dog biscuits instead.”

“A fellow connoisseur! You have fine taste. Mars Attacks is certainly a classic, but I for one prefer practical effects of Klowns over the CGI of Martians.”

“Killer Klowns from Outer Space is a cinematic masterpiece and I cannot be convinced otherwise. Criticisms will not be heard.”

I’d like everyone to know that I write all my stuff while having Creepypasta readings playing in the background the entire time. Really puts me in the mood.

Possible Velma interactions are all one of three things:

Her dragging a companion off into some needlessly remote and/or dangerous location for literally no reason but because she wants to and they were foolish enough trust her ability to make good decisions. Thinking that just because she’s smart that means she’s not dumb.

Someone having to save her after she got herself in over her head being the nosy detective she is. Figuring out a supervillain’s identity and publicly leaking it, foiling schemes just because it’s a good mental exercise and she enjoys the thrill- heroes having to rescue her over and over.

Her actively in danger after encountering exactly what she was looking for poking her head where it doesn’t belong, be it slashers or demons or aliens or criminals, and now having to think very fast to avoid dying young. As much as she’d probably deserve it.

“Legally speaking, it isn’t even a town!” Velma exclaimed, having an odd amount of excitement for what effectively meant they were in a lawless land. “Not anymore, at least- this place was completely abandoned a long time ago. People only started moving back into the ruins relatively recently, turned it from a ghost town to more... a zombie town. Brought the whole place back to half-life.”

Seemed oddly civilized for a town of squatters, compared to other lawless lands at least... the buildings, while still rough, had been somewhat restored, and people were mulling about in a fairly average fashion among town center, which had effectively become a makeshift bazaar. Hardly the mess of graffiti, broken glass, and wanted criminals one would have come to expect.

“Found this place on my deep dives for interesting locales; there isn’t much here for investigation, but still felt like it’d make a fun pit stop in-between hunting for spirit musicians and tracking down gator women. Think of it like a flea market! Just... with a hint of illegality.”

Really, most of it was just to avoid pesky things like taxes. Worst they were likely to find would be very clearly shoplifted merchandise... but who knows? There was always a chance they could find a cursed artifact for sale.

“Well... most logical people don’t.” Her voice was steady, calm as she made her comical little comment... but her demeanor spoke a different story. Eyes going wide behind the lenses of her glasses as she watched the animatronic become animate, shoulders drooping as her posture shrunk- making her look even smaller in front of the hulking thing, and her feet slowly backing away.

Her movements were stable, but tense- muscles in her calves already instinctively preparing for an all too familiar dart for the exit as she lingered, holding up a camcorder, recording the ruined relic, seeing the glowing glint in it’s eyes through the nightvision... steps stopping at just before the doorway.

She looks up from the camera and into the darkness of the room, seeing the vaguely bunny-like shape... staring right up into it’s eyes.

“... I’m guessing that means you’re not up for an interview?” One last comedic comment for the folks that will hopefully be watching the recording from the comforts of their home after she uploads it, and possibly to give the decrepit thing a moment of confusion- throw it off even a little bit before the chase actually begins. If not, at least they’d be amusing last words.

@anticnaut​ said: “Why are there so many abandoned buildings?”

“Capitalism.” The answer was instant and said without an ounce of sarcasm, Velma not even looking up as she packs some equipment into a backpack. “More specifically, the main highway made the dusty roads leading through her completely defunct to use. Nobody passes through, most of the businesses either pack up or shutdown, and the lack of things to do or places to go makes even more people leave. Soon enough, you’ve got a ghost town.”

Finished packing up supplies, she slings the backpack over her shoulder and slides the van’s doors closed; mechanical locks clicking into place before she finally looks back up to her tagalong on this particular outing. 

“Not that this place is a complete ghost town... yet. Some very stubborn families stuck around, some independently run establishments somehow managed to stay afloat, that sort of thing.” She looks down at her phone, chewing her cheek staring at the total lack of a signal before putting it away. “Including the local inn, which is where we’re heading. Gonna rent out the murder room.”

And she casually starts walking without further explanation, not waiting up for him... or paying mind to any of the curious glares they got from the townsfolk.

“Maybe it’s looking for a host with a bit more brain matter to work with.” A roll of her eyes accompanied the sarcastic response, watching him mockingly poke a hand in and out of the incorporeal ‘spirit’ that had appeared before them... gaze tracking it’s glow to the floor, where her suspicions were confirmed.

As signaled by a subtle, annoyed little huff.

“Or, as is usually the case, it’s not a ghost.” She punctuates by stomping forwards, as if to smash the specter’s nonexistent toes; it’s image convulsing for a short moment before it’s light dissipated, the lens of the projector hidden in the floorboards very firmly shattered under her heel. “Typical.”
