Part 7 of my poll adventure fic. Links: the beginning, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6.

Sooo... I wasn't sure how to get everything across within one scene.

Poll below.

"Of course I would like to work with you on this, dear girl," he told Valerie with a smile. "You may not know this, but, back in my college days, I was part of a ghost hunting team."

Not that the three of them had ever found a ghost back then.

Valerie's eyes lit up. "Really? Oh, that explains the ring. I should have realized it before!" She slapped a fist down onto her palm as a gesture of realization.

"Ah, yes. The, uh, ring."

What ring?

Was she talking about the Ring of Rage...? What exactly had he told her about it back then? That the ring had been passed down between generations?

"I was the leader of my group, of course, coming from a long line of ghost hunters. I don't mean to boast, but I did do most of the planning, was the most skilled in combat, invented the majority of the equipment..."

"I knew you were great at making weapons and stuff, but I hadn't thought about the rest. You have to teach me! I could learn so much from you."

He placed a hand on her armored shoulder. "And I'll be sure to teach you everything I know."

...If only Daniel would be so willing to learn.

Vlad had needed to make a few alterations to his old jumpsuit.

Well, he'd actually ordered a new one to be made as fast as possible. Even if his old jumpsuit had still fit, it had been made of assorted odds and ends, as had both Maddie's and Jack's been back then.

Currently, he flew beside Valerie in the new jumpsuit, with a powerless, ordinary round sled strapped to his feet.—No need to waste time and money on functional transportation when he had his ghost abilities.

He had a duplicate of himself in his lab in Wisconsin, trying to think of what equipment would come in handy later. And another duplicate searching the ruins of the mayor's mansion.

His current self and Valerie had yet to find any sign of the older version of Daniel.

Which was odd, seeing as Vlad had assumed there would be a clear path of destruction and fleeing townspeople in need of reassurance by their mayor.

But it was probably for the best. He hadn't truly thought through this idea of playing a visible part in the ghost's capture.

His strength was divided between his duplicates, and his powers were limited by a much greater degree still while he was in his human form.

He needed to be able to give it his all when they did come across the ghost. With Valerie's rashness, it was bound to become more than reconnaissance.

Vlad signaled to Valerie to land on top of a building.

As Valerie recalled her suit, Vlad slipped his feet from his metal sled.

"While our time together has been fun, I'm afraid I've overestimated this old body of mine. I'm no longer nineteen." He chuckled, hoping to raise Valerie's visibly falling spirits with a bit of humor. "However, I have an acquaintance for you to team up with in my stead."

"But you've barely started teaching me..."

He'd shown her a few things over the past three hours. Mostly correcting her grip while holding some of her weapons. It was obvious she had taught herself during the past several months solely by trial-and-error.

"You're a wonderful ghost hunter, my dear. I don't believe I have any more techniques to teach that you don't already know."

Which wasn't too far from the truth. Valerie and Daniel both picked things up so quickly. Much quicker than Vlad himself had.

"But... What about what you were saying about planning and stuff? Strategy? I know there's more I can learn."

"And I can still teach you those things—behind the scenes. And I'll also be there rooting for you from the sidelines."

"Okay, fruit loop, what are you up to?"

Vlad Plasmius paused in his intangible searching of the mansions' ruins to see the present-time Daniel with his arms crossed.

"I'm not in the mood right now, Daniel. I've missed six days of sleep in the past twenty-four hours!"

The boy gave him a disbelieving look. "I may be bad at math, but even I know that doesn't add up."

Vlad sighed. "It doesn't need to make sense to you. I'm simply busy. Too busy for this."

He had given Valerie an earpiece to wear so that one of his duplicates could speak to her from a control room, while keeping watch on a large monitor. He started by patiently explaining the art of schem— planning, and, while she'd slept last night, he'd looked through a couple textbooks and come up with a lesson plan for later.

Another duplicate worked on advertising merchandise with one of his companies, in order to decorate his limo and his person while he followed Valerie around town to cheer her on and let the voters know he supported her in taking down the dangerous, rampaging ghost that was threatening the city. ...Whenever said ghost will choose to do so.

It had already been a day, and there was still no sign of him. As though he was purposefully taunting Vlad by his chosen inaction.

Vlad also had a duplicate searching the Ghost Zone. But there was no noticeable trail of destruction there, either.

There was still the duplicate in his Wisconsin lab working on a few weapons that should come in handy against the ghost.

And his last duplicate was with Valerie in his ghost form. Since Vlad Masters had suggested the team-up, Valerie had agreed to work with Vlad Plasmius for this one mission.

Being split into so many parts throughout the night, the effects of his loss of sleep was magnified.

"Nice necklace," Daniel said.

And that's what he was working on. Unsuccessfully.

Vlad felt one eye beginning to twitch.

"I can't get this infernal collar off until I find the remote somewhere under all this debris!" Vlad shouted.

Since I can't leave the house, I decided to make myself a vanilla hazelnut mocha latte with espresso for my mental health. But when I was looking through the cabinets among all the vanilla and hazelnut and almond and such was:

i fucking love Boundary Aoi and hanako's Fake Bitch Off in the sacrifice to the grim reaper arc bc it's such a simultaneously fun and heartbreaking insight into both of their characters. and it’s especially both fun and heartbreaking if you view it through aoinene glasses and aoi’s just fully in her jennifer check era like “oh? 🥰 my girl best friend is paying way more attention to the boy she likes than me? 🥰 well I have demon powers now and I’m going to kill both of them to cope 🥰🥰🥰” like,

hanako really tries to be like ☺️💕 without help? ☺️💕 that's strange ☺️💕

and aoi's just like ☺️💕 cute ☺️💕 but I invented being fake pleasant and also I’ve loved nene way longer than you ☺️💕you will not beat me at this game ☺️💕die ☺️💕

and good for her <3

(tbh I don’t fully get what was up with that vial and how much of this is aoi vs the effects of whatever happened to her, but very fun and interesting nonetheless lol. and I repeat: good for her <3 )
