Hi Mum, it's Sammy clone 31 (Part 1)

I've gone to apply for a job.  No, Mum, I am not going to be a scientist, thank heavens.  I think that stuff could make you mad.  I've applied to be a ghost hunter.

The pay is rather pathetic.  I have a stippend of about 200 a week.  A week?  A guy might just as well stay home and write novels and starve in comfort.

Then I went to a local gathering spot.  I popped in this one because it had a great sign of a lounging lizard.  No idea what the place is called.  I'm dancing with Milly.


If Milly is typical of this town, I think they need the services of a stylist quite badly.  Mismatched clothes and the oddest makeup...

But I ignored all that.  I want to make a few friends in this burg, so I started with Milly.  We chatted about a lot of things; she told me a bit about town, I told her about my new place and new job.

I said hello to everyone who came in to the place and it did eventually have a lot of people.  I didn't get their pics though.

Going to my home sweet home.  It's small and unfurnished except for the basics.  All I can afford at the moment.

The guys at the science lab let me know that logic will help me with the job.  Since it's the only way I can prepare, I had a couple of games at the park.  Milly won both.

I got a little bit hungry and decided to grill some dogs.

This turned out to be a bit trickier than it looked.

But even a burnt dog is better than starving.

So I'm on call for any paranormal activity.  The hours suck 5 pm to 3 am.  Granted, that is when spirits are active but it means I go to work when most people are getting home.

My first job.  A house was infected with spirits.  Cute little buggers actually.  Just little dancing lights, I don't know why people are worried about them.

But I track each of them down.

And catch them with my ghost catching device.  There's a little chamber that holds the caught spirit, I have to use a fresh one for each ghost.

The kid came out just to applaud my work.  He was badly spooked by the spirits.

As was his dad.  I found out that I get paid per completed job as well as that stippend.  I forget how much I earned but it's something between 100 and 300 for a call like this.

I had a second call that night.

One of the fancier homes in town.

Even this nice place had a few spirits haunting the rooms.

Home at last for a quick meal and bed.  Not bad for my first couple of days in town.
