eyes flickering red P-p-please, you gotta help me get this thing outta me!
What’s the thing? Where is it?
It's in my brain! You can't see it but it's there, controlling me! It makes me do things I don't want to do, things that are...
Not Right. Do you know how to get it out?
I-I don't know. I've tried everything I can think of, but nothing's worked so far. It's getting worse, Brightn. I need your help before it's too late!
I have some connections that may be able to help. Invoked the power of the ACC Are you aware of the GOC? The Ghost-finding Organization of Clergy?
Nods eagerly Yes, I've heard of them! They're supposed to be really good at dealing with spirits and stuff.
Great! This just went from a exorcism to demonolgy. Shakes hand with her through the phone, channeling the connection. We’re going to get this done!
clasps her hands together, her eyes filled with hope Thank you, thank you so much! I knew I could count on you, Brightn!
And I can count on you! Make sure you stay safe and calm until we figure this out.
Oh, don't worry, Brightn! I'll be on my best behavior! No more pranks or tricks, I promise!
Now let me see what I can find on this thing. Mediated while looking up info on Velma’s parasite problem. Wow…this is rare…
taps foot anxiously Come on, Brightn, I don't have all day! What did you find? Is there something that can actually get this thing out of me?
grabs Brightn's arm What is it?! What did you find? Is there a way to get rid of this thing? Tell me, Brightn! Please!
Call your contacts! we need a priest. A Roman Catholic priest and they need to perform an exorcism. Also try to identify the spirit. If it’s Jinkin, then your done for.
dials a number on her phone Hello, Fred? It's Velma.
Stay on the line with him, he’s already contacted the GOC. They said they have a priest in your area right now. Just guide him to your location.
<Velma manages to contact Fred and guides the Roman Catholic priest to her location. They begin the exorcism ritual, hoping to rid her of the parasitic spirit.>
closes her eyes tightly, praying with Brightn Please, oh please, drive this spirit out of me!
She feels a relief as the Holy Spirit enters her body, pushing the demon out. As they were finished, Velma felt healthy again and clear headed.
throws her arms up in victory Yes! We did it, Brightn! The demon is gone! I feel free! I'm finally free from that thing!
You did great Velma! <hugs> Well done! points to door Now tell the priest he can leave and give him a couple hundred bucks for his trouble.
walks over to the priest Hey, Father! That was amazing! Thanks so much for helping me out. Oh, and here's some money for your trouble.
<Quickly runs to the counter and grabs $300 from Velma’s drawer> Here. See ya Father!
gives the priest the wad of cash Keep it, Father! Consider it a donation for your services! And hey, if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to call me, okay? I owe you big time for this! winks and blows him a kiss as he leaves
Good job! I’m proud of you Velma! <Hugs her tight>
beaming with confidence Thanks, Brightn! I knew I could handle it! I told you, I'm always ready for an adventure! And boy, was that one intense!
Yeah! And you seem happy and clear headed again! Good work!
pumps her fist in the air Woohoo! Let's celebrate our victory, Brightn! How about some Scooby Snacks?
Actually Velma? I’ve seen enough gory death traps today. I’ll pass on the Scooby Snacks for now. Can I get a candy bar instead?
looks slightly offended What? No Scooby Snacks? But...but...it's tradition! You can't pass up a Scooby Snack after a victorious exorcism! Come on, Brightn, live a little! holds out a bag of Scooby Snacks enticingly
pouts and crosses her arms Fine, fine! Have your boring candy bar if you want. But you're missing out on the deliciousness of a Scooby Snack! rolls her eyes dramatically I guess some people just don't appreciate the finer things in life. Well, whatever, Brightn! Enjoy your plain old candy bar. I'm gonna go indulge in some well-deserved Scooby Snacks! munches on a Scooby Snack with a smug look on her face
So….. why does the gang never invite you on trips? I mean, I get that Shaggy and Scooby get along better, but you’re the one who does most of the thinking and research.
pauses mid-munch, her expression turning serious Well, Brightn, it's a long story... but basically, I used to be kind of a...well, a nerd.
Whoa! Really? I have never head otherwise.
<Velma confesses that she used to be overweight and insecure, which made it difficult for her to fit in with the gang>
Nah, I don’t believe it. I’ve seen pictures of the early days and you are adorable. You just grew into your frame.
blushes at Brightn's words Aw, thanks, Brightn! That means a lot to me. But you're right, I used to be quite different.
Well, you know, I was always the smart one in school, always buried in books, and never really paid much attention to how I looked.
I don’t believe that. I saw you Daphne the hot blonde girl at school.
waves her hands dismissively Oh, come on, Brightn! Don't make me blush! Daphne is way out of my league. I mean, have you seen her? She's like a goddess or something! And me? I was just the nerdy girl with glasses and a bunch of zits on my face. Trust me, I didn't exactly have a lot of confidence back then.
Velma, you are gorgeous. Your thick figure would turn any guy on. I don’t care what you say.
blushes even deeper Brightn, you're making me feel all tingly inside! I never realized you saw me that way. But you know what? It's nice to hear.
