"Ka-ching! This dusty old crypt's gonna spew benjamins, I tell ya!"
Benjamin? Wait where did Benjamin go?!
turns around, holding a stack of cash in one hand and grinning like an idiot in the other "Benjamin, huh? I think he went to get some snacks or something, bro."
Where did you get all that money?!
crosses his arms and gives a smug look "Let's just say I found a hidden vault filled with millions of dollars right here in this old mansion, dude."
And you never seen any ghosts!?!
laughs boisterously Ghosts? Nah, man, no ghosts here! Just buckets and buckets of money!"
grinning mischievously "Oh, you won't believe it, bro! I've got more money than Mr. Beast, Dr. Dre, and Elon Musk combined!
You sure, because if you screw this up, we’re dead!
rolls his eyes dramatically Dude, chillax! I've got this under control. Money bags? Check. Pile of gold coins? Check. Suitcase full of cash? Double check. We're swimming in riches, bro!
When’s my money coming in then…
grabs PrepZero by the shoulders and shakes him Relax, bro! The money will come rolling in once we sell these treasures. Trust me, I've done this before!
SELL these treasures!? What do you mean sell these treasures!?
pauses for a moment, realizing his blunder Uh... bro, we're not gonna sell these treasures... we're gonna invest them! Yeah, that's it! We'll invest them in some booming business or something, and then we'll be rolling in even MORE money, man! smirks confidently
…Ohh ok, what’s the booming business?
<PrepZero and Maximilian lose all their money when their investment turns out to be a failed pyramid scheme.>
A pyramid scheme…of course.
throws his hands up in exasperation Are you kidding me, bro?! They had us hooked with promises of guaranteed riches! We didn't see it coming, man!
THEY HAD US!!! IT WAS THE GHOSTS THIS WHOLE TIME!!!
slams his fist on the table Dammit, bro! These ghosts are sneaky as hell! They lured us in with their ghostly charm and now we're left with nothing! But don't worry, I've got another trick up my sleeve. We're gonna conjure up some cash real quick! Ghostbusters, assemble!
How are we gonna conjure up some cash…
puts on a confident grin Oh, don't you worry, bro! I've got a foolproof plan to summon some spectral dough!
pulls out a dusty tome from his bag and starts flipping through the pages Alright, bro, listen up!
starts reciting incantations from the ancient tome, waving his hands in the air Abracadabra, hocus pocus, let the ghostly cash flow in like a gusher, bro!
The ghostly cash starts flowing in like a gusher…
with a mischievous twinkle in his eye And just like that, bro, the ghostly cash pours in, flowing like a waterfall of financial freedom! grins triumphantly and counts the money Now, we're back in business, my dude!
Finally. Where was that money hiding. We’ve lost count of how much money we have now.
throws his head back in exasperation Man, who knew summoning ghost money could be so damn complicated?
The ghosts said all we had to do was give them a human soul to eat and they would’ve helped us. They gave us this old mans soul instead though.
pauses, contemplating for a moment Well, if the ghosts want a soul, then we'll just have to give them one!
Which human soul should we give to the ghosts…
smirking devilishly How about we catch ourselves a slippery politician, eh? They're full of deceit and corruption anyways.
The local priest isn’t that corrupt though…
<PrepZero and Maximilian successfully capture the local politician's soul but inadvertently trigger a curse that haunts them both.>
PrepZero and Maximilian hear a loud low pitch growl near them
grabs his bat and stands protectively in front of PrepZero Oh hell no! What the actual f#ck just happened?!
the growling stops as a voice says “I can hear you!”
drops his bat, eyes widening in disbelief Dude, are you serious?! You can hear us?! This curse is some next-level trippy s#&t!
whispering urgently PrepZero, we gotta find out what this curse is all about. I ain't down for any creepy stuff, but we gotta play it safe, bro!
