Alec Riley - Psychic
Rose Menova - Dreamer (ESP)
Meredith Gwynfor - Medium
Damien Redder - Exorcist
Alex Meyers - Researcher
" Okay, we will head for the ghost town tomorrow " Alex told him and then left. Once he arrived in his apartment, he started calling the volunteers with one message: " Be in the town square tomorrow at 8 am sharp. I will meet you there with the van and all the equipments "

As soon as she finished packing, she set her clock to alarm at 6 am so that she can prepare early. And with that, she immediately fell asleep.

When he arrived at the town square, he threw his back pack over his shoulder and waited rather impatiently for the others. It wasn't his fault he had managed to be early.
Setting

He was in front of the town square when he saw that another teenager was there.He got closer and said:
”You are here for the hunt, right? I am Damien Redder.” Before he could tell what he was , he looked in his eyes to see if he really was here for the hunt.When he was sure about that he continued.”An exorcist.”

She really hated the fact that she was accident prone.

When she arrived at the square, she immediately noticed three people standing still, sticking out amidst the few people who were already on their way to work. She made her way to them, her strides wide and confident, although in reality she was somewhat anxious about what kinds of people they would be - would they be fakes, just like all the others whom she had seen, or would she finally be able to meet others like her? Upon arriving at her destination, she greeted them with a smooth "good morning", and then after a short pause, said "I'm Meredith. It's nice to meet you."

"Alec Riley - psychic. And yes, I am here for the hunt. If it really turns out to be anything." He said.
He caught a glimpse of a girl looking at the exorcist and himself, but before he could confirm it she had looked away. He shrugged it off.

" Good morning! My name is Rose and I think I have some sort of ESP through dreaming " Rose told them with a smile. She had always been cheerful, but she had to admit that she was not a morning person.

" Get inside the van now, we have a long way to go. And you guys can continue introducing yourselves inside. But be careful! The equipments are all there. " Alex said as he walked towards the van.
" Oh, Meredith and Damien, you can sit with me in the front since it already has a division in it, and it has enough space for the two of you. Rose and Alec, you can sit in the seats behind them, it also has a division separating all of us since this van was used for some experiments a long time ago. Have fun! " Alex added as he went inside the driver's seat.

"How far exactly is the Abandoned City? And if you happen to have any information..what kinds of experiments was this van used for?" she inquired, with an undercurrent of uncertainty in her voice.
Setting

"So, you are a....medium.I guessed because of the specific smell.I am Damien Redde, exorcist.
And looking at Alex, who seemed to be very relaxed in this situation,he asked.
"Yeah, I want to learn more about this.Tell us.
He took his seat, he throw his back pack under it and stood up to see if everything is ok.Damien smiled to see this team complete and he was ready for everything could happen.In general, he would spoke much more with the others but he felt from his home and from here an weird thing, so he was trying to see if it was something serious or nothing.

' I hope that I will get back to my friends in one piece ' Rose thought as she looked out the window.

"Nice to meet you ESP Girl, Rosie doll." He smiled a dimpled grin. "Are you ready for this trip?" Alec leaned his head against the neck of the seat, obviously getting comfortable.

Rose shook off Alec's arm around her and scooted father from him as possible, to the point that she was already leaning against the window. " Wh-what are you doing?! You're a pervert! " Rose told him as she pointed a finger at Alec.
Rose suddenly felt like she wanted to be with the equipments at the back of the van. It would be very uncomfortable there, but it was extremely better than having Alec sitting beside her. But to her dismay, of course she had to bear with Alec until they arrive in the Abandoned City.

" Well, the experiments were about the children who had mental disabilities. They had to put some clear barriers, like this barrier behind me separating us from Rose and Alec. " Alex said as he glanced at Rose and Alec momentarily, and he chuckled.
" Look at them, having their moments together already. They do look cute " Alex continued as he lightly elbowed Meredith for them to look at the teens behind them.
" Damien, Meredith, have a nice chat with each other. Though you can all talk to me at anytime you want " he said.
" I think that was all. But its a bad thing we can't hear them " Alex continued as he tapped the glass barrier lightly with a chuckle.
Setting

"You just need to calm down." He said sticking his tongue out at her jokingly. "Relax a little. After all we might be on a ride to our imminent death. Might as well enjoy it."
Looking at Rose now, she reminded him of someone. He stared at her for a moment trying to grasp who it was.
Setting

"Yes, they certainly are very cute. Though I do wonder if..not being professional while on such a task might actually have negative effects. Anyways, I won't bother you while you're driving, but I'd like to know more about you later on." she said, her voice growing more and more serious as she spoke.
There were still some questions lingering in her head regarding the experiments done in this van - she wanted to know specifically how the experiments were conducted, whether the sound barriers were for visual communication experiments, or..was it related to something paranormal? Well, she wasn't sure if Alex would know the answers to these questions, and quite certain that she would not forget about them, she thought it would be better to ask them when they reached that awkward moment when no one had anything common left to talk about. Right now, she felt that there was one question she had to know the answer to. She turned to Damien.
"It's nice to meet you, Damien." she said, and after a short pause, she continued. "About what you said earlier.. You can actually extract information about people by smelling them? What do mediums smell like?" she asked, both her voice and her expression filled with wonder and curiosity.
Setting
0.00 INK
"Well, yeah, I could know informations about people just by smelling them since I was little.It is a little weird and it takes a lot of energy but I am used to have all the times a headache..You..Mediums,sorry...Smell like death.But that is not creepy, it is a quite interesting smell. Even if you have used or not a parfume, the smell is there.But don't think that I am a freak."
He didn't know many things about this girl, but somehow, it was a pleasure to talk to her.Damien felt like she could understood him.It was a nice feeling but he wanted to hide it even if he didn't know why..He had nothing else to say, but it was weird not to say anything so he found something to talk about.It was painful for him to talk about these but he could resist..
"So, how did you find out that you are a medium? I was ten, I think, when my mother and father died.After their death,they kept haunteing me, so I had to do something.In one day, after school, I accidentaly focused on a spell from a book that I found in the library and my parents went away...From that moment, I knew that I am special, if I can say this..

" I have to make sure that I make it out of this place alive. I just have to " Rose looked out the window and said it so soft she wasn't even sure if Alec heard her.
" And by the way, I think you're weird " Rose looked over at Alec and chuckled.
Setting
0.00 INK
"Is there anything else you've smelled before that reminds you of the smell of death? It can't be like the black soil one finds in graveyards or like the smell of decaying flesh... Is there any way you can describe it? I don't, and will not, think of you as a freak because of this; it's just really interesting." she said, leaning in towards Damien as an unconscious result of her curiosity. However, considering the next question that was asked, she returned to her usual position, leaning her back against the seat.
"It seems that I could contact the dead since I was very young. My mother tells me that I had talked, laughed or reacted to what appeared to be thin air..but that might be a typical behaviour for babies, I don't know. Anyways, I've been seeing my grandmother since about the time I've been aware of the things around me; I used to see a lot more people, but we've been practicing defense techniques and ways to consciously skim through the 'layers', so now I'm quite good at controlling and protecting myself. But..um..I'm a bit surprised that your parents would haunt you, at least in a negative way - are you sure that they didn't stay back here in order to protect you or something like that? And what do you think happens to spirits when you exorcise them?" For some reason, she didn't like the idea of exoricsing benign spirits. It seemed unfair to her that ones who still wanted to complete things, to help or watch those whom they had left behind, would be forcefully..well, she wasn't sure what came afterwards; she didn't exactly believe in something like a heaven. Sure, she had encountered rather dangerous or aggressive spirits, and that was where her techniques of defense came in, as she had been warned of the possibility of a possession, but his own parents...? There was a bitter taste spreading in her mouth; she covered her lips with her hand, looking down at her lap with a murky expression.
Setting

Is there anything else you've smelled before that reminds you of the smell of death?
"Well, yeah, when people have just a few ments left till they die, a strange smell is passing to them.A smell like flowers when they are dying, like the memorie wich are forgotten, if you understand me. And the smell least just a few seconds.When the people died, the smell dissapear with him."
Are you sure that they didn't stay back here in order to protect you or something like that?
The first time when I saw them they were trying to...kill me...I know it's sounds crazy but believe me, it's true..They wanted to move a knife in the kitchen when I was eating.I could see them, but not like you.I could not hear them..But..I saw it in their eyes.They wanted revenge because I made their lives like a hell...I could hide in the bathroom but since then, I'vesaw them every night with their scary look on their face.
What do you think happens to the spirits when you exorcise them?
"It is hard to make a spirit to want this.Yeah, because if they don't want this, you can't exorcise them..In the ritual the spirit has to involve himself.So, to make a spirit wanting this, I have to help them with what they want, unless they are not bad..If they are bad , the situation changes.Now, to your question I can just say this: I think they are catched in the silence.I don't think that you can understand me so I will stop here."
Damien smiled and turned to glance at the others.It seemed they didn't arrive yet..
Setting

"I'm sorry, you know, about what happened to you." she said, snapping out of her own thoughts. Even though her voice and her words were dry and bare, there was an expression of sadness as she looked at Damien. However, not knowing what else to say to him, or how to steer the subject into something more cheerful, she checked her wrist watch - an hour had passed since they had entered the van. Turning to Alex, she asked when they would arrive at the abandoned town.
Setting

Alec grinned when she stuck her tongue out. Thank God she had loosened up so quickly. He didn't want to sit next to someone so upright the whole ride. It would just make the entire experience bad. He watched her as she spoke quietly. He had barely heard what she had said, but he did hear it. He smiled again but this time it was to comfort her and not out of amusement. To be honest he had been getting a horrible feeling the closer they got to the damnable place. Something was definitely wrong there. He was already hearing the faint whispers of the dead. He couldn't understand what they were saying, it was almost like the faint wind. A very agonizing faint wind.
"I'm sure we'll be find. It's probably just another hoax." He lied. To change the subject he quickly asked about her abilities. "So, how does your dream thing work? Wanna talk about it? He smiled.
Setting

Wait. Alec smiled? Leaning over, Rose pinched Alec's cheeks, as if not believing that he was actually smiling a true smile. " Is this true? You are actually smiling? Or am I already dreaming? " she said.
Rose felt a shiver down her spine, but disregarded it. She didn't want others to suddenly be burdened just because of her. She knew that the others couldn't hear them right now, and she suddenly wondered what they were thinking.
Setting

When she pinched his cheeks he drew back, surprised and taken off guard. He wrinkled his nose and raised an eyebrow at her. "Who's the weird one now?" Again, he was grinning as he lightly elbowed her side. "That would be you."
Suddenly his face grew serious as he looked at her. He knew that she could hear them. He could almost feel the shiver that went down her spine. "You hear them now." He stated. It wasn't a question. "Something isn't right."
