I
A/N: This is what Charli looks like
~The librarian ghost
In the Columbia University there's five Parapsychology named Charli, Peter, Camila, Egon, and Ray who are Professors at the University who'd believe in the Paranormal.
The library was quiet as usual, nothing more than a rustle of paper. Until Peter, Ray, and Camila walk in being loud and not being respectful at the rules of being quiet in the library. Charli look up from her book and her glasses to see the trio walking over to her and Egon who's sitting criss cross while listing to the table using a device similar to a stethoscope, Peter put a finger to his mouth indicating for Charli to be quiet.
She shook her head at Peter to not do it, but he began light tapping at the table while making ghostly noising before grabbing the nearest book an slam it, making everyone at the library jump.
"Oh, you're here." Egon said, quickly getting up to join the four. They talk while Charli starts to zoned out while stacking his books and holding it close to her chest, "Fetching books for Egon, are we Charli?" Peter ask with a smirk.
"Still flirting with your students, Pete?" she ask with her Spanish accent. Peter rolled his eyes and continue walking.
Then a man approaches the five, "I'm Roger Delicore. Are you the five from the University?" he ask.
"Yes I'm Dr. Venkman, that's Dr. Stanz, those two are Dr. Lopez, Egon" he said, introducing them to Roger who'd shook their hands except Charli who didn't like to be touch.
"Thank you for coming. I hope we can clear this up quickly and quietly." he said with a slight fear in his hush voice.
"Let's not rush things. We don't even know what you have yet" Peter said following Roger into a small room at the back of the library, there laid a small women in her 40s lying on the table while staring at the ceiling. Both Charli and Camila grabbed a chair and sit on it.
"Miss Alice, can you tell us what did you see?" Camila ask the woman.
"I don't remember seeing any legs, but it definitely had arms because it reached out for me." She explained to them.
"Arms?! I can't wait to get a look at this thing!" Ray exclaimed at his colleagues, while Camila roll her eyes playfully.
"Alice, I'm going to ask you a few standard questions, okay? Have you or any of your family ever been diagnosed schizophrenic, mentally incompetent?" Peter ask the women.
Alice look up at Peter, "My uncle thought he was St. Jerome."
"I'd call that a big yes" Peter said softly to himself, "Uh, are you habitually using drugs, stimulants, alcohol?" He ask her.
"No!"
"Just asking," Peter then looks at the Lopez sisters with that look in his eye, the girls shook their heads to tell him 'No' of what's he's going to do or say. As always, he'd ignore them.
"Are you, Alice, menstruating right now?" He ask her.
"Idiota" Idiot Charli said in her native tongue, Camila nodded in agreement. "What has that got to do with it?" Roger ask him.
"Back off, man. I'm a scientist." Peter said, then Egon appeared with the P.K.E Meter in his hand. "Ray, It's moving, come on!" he said, both Ray and Charli followed him with Peter and Camila right behind the two.
The four followed Egon who's using the P.K.E Meter as his guide, there's no sound except the girls heels clickings on the floor and buzzing coming from the P.K.E Meter. They turn the corner to see a stack of books, "Symmetrical book stacking, just like the Philadelphia mass turbulence of 1947." Ray said while filming the stacked books.
"You're right. No human being would stack books like this." Peter said not amused.
"Listen! You smell something?" Ray and Egon took off while Charli, Camila, and Peter followed the men close behind.
They stopped to see the card catalogue open and covered in slime, "Talk about telekinetic activity! Look at this mess!" Ray exclaimed in excitement.
"Give this to Venkman please" Egon said while passing Charli a petri dish. "Venkman, Egon wants to get a sample of this." she said while giving him the dish, "Somebody blows their nose and you want to keep it?" He ask while Camila chuckle at his question.
"I'd like to analyze it." Egon replied while walking off, Charli giggles when she hears Peter gagging in disgust and flicking his hands trying to get the slime off. When he heard Charli giggling at him, he wipe the smile on her shirt. "Hey!" she said to him, "Who's laughing now?" He ask mischievously. When he's not looking, she curses in Spanish while trying to remove the slime on her shirt.
"Egon, your mucus." Peter said while giving him the dish, then a bookshelf fell almost barley missing Charli if Egon manage to grab her. Charli look at Egon and thanked him, Egon then started to walk off with Charli right behind him with the others behind her.
Then the P.K.E Meter started to beep like crazy, he put his hand up to Charli to stop her from walking. They look to see the ghost, it was a older women wearing a victorian dress with no torso with purple and pink hues around her. "A full torso apparition, and it's real." Ray whispered with excitement, "So, what do we do?" Charli whispered to them.
No one answered her, Peter then reaches for Ray's ear and pull him into bookshelves. Camila followed Ray while Egon gently grabbed Charli's arm, gesturing her to follow him.
"What do we do?" Peter ask.
"I don't know. What do you think?" Ray ask while looking at Egon for answer, Egon then grabbed his calculator but Peter slammed it outta his hands.
"We've got to make contact, one of us should actually try to speak to it." Ray said.
"Good idea." Egon agreed, the three boys look at Charlie including Camila. "Your kidding, right?" she ask, they shook their heads. "Estupendo" Great She sighed and walk towards the ghost with the others right behind her, "Buenas tardes" Good Afternoon The ghost look over at her.
"Good book?" she ask the ghost, the ghost nodded in agreement. Charli nodded and walk back to the others while Ray praises and took pictures of her.
"So what do we do now?" Camila ask.
"Okay, I have a plan. I know exactly what to do." Ray said before walking towards the ghost with the others right behind him, "Now stay close," he said softly. "What does it look like were doing?" Camila murmured to him, "Do exactly as I say. Ready, ready, get her!" He yelled tried to lunged at the ghost.
The ghost's face morphed into a demonic face and roared at them, the scientist screamed while run out the Library with Camila and Ray in front. While Roger Delicore tried to question what they saw, but no prevail. As the other stopped to catch their breath.
"Buen plan, Ray" Nice plan, Ray Camila said to him.
"Sorry, I got excited" Ray apologize.
"It's okay" Charli said with a smile.
