Ghost of West: 1

The worldly Baroness Kessler invites many-faces to her Cali-gathering for human realm enticement and sends two would-be hero-gents on a cemetery-quest of specter-view worth a potential keratin.

A 3-part series of encounter with ghost/dark challenge in an overground 'dominion' of things of commerce/hospitality/culture. Happy Summer, all

"Well, Baroness Kessler had hoped her Wonderland gathering in a Cali area of incomplete-arts of social media culture festivities for color and ornamental night-life at her estate of great flowery would draw-in two special young men who'd be sent on a ghost-hunter adventure for her curiosity with her background 'IQ' with afterlife-spirit incantations. The gathering did indeed draw in two special 'heroes' for the game, Amlan and Raki...and they weren't prepared for the odyssey projected by Kessler herself (ok)."

AMLAN: What's the claim here, Raki?
RAKI: I guess she thinks we've got the mind(s) to seek-out some specters.

AMLAN: We're to toast this 3-day gathering in Cali while visiting the cemetery?

RAKI: We're to get notes about sightings of some strange specters seen there!

AMLAN: Part of her Wonderland wings of storytelling and campfire; we heroes?

RAKI: That's the game, and we're Selfie culture/age gents (Facebook-like?).

AMLAN: Fair.

"Amlan/Raki had presented themselves in funny-fashion at the Kessler-estate in Cali; with cool-shades and a funny fuzzy balaclava head-gear, making languages of things of capitalism couture and Roaring Twenties party-jokes parallel to 21st-Century (2020s decade) TV/media age 'things' of the NFL, Wall Street, Nickelodeon-TV, and the International Space-Station. Baroness Kessler knew they were the 'right-stuff' for her ghost-cemetery game of darkness (Selfie-like)."

"The heroes made it to the cemetery on Friday's Eve, with their smartphone video-recorders prepped for anything of sighting(s)-value for this Kessler-game; ready to take-back to the entire-weekend gathering marshmallow-darkness for the Baroness' story-journal and social media share. However, Amlan/Raki didn't realize that Kessler knew the cemetery-ghosts were more devilish than the sightings/talk implied in California (hmmm). She simply now wondered how they'd achieve the entire-weekend challenge for the Ego (ok)."

BARONESS: What's the news, newsies?
AMLAN/RAKI: We saw a series of specters march across the graveyard (1am).

BARONESS: Did your smartphone recorders pick-up any static/truth, newsies?

AMLAN/RAKI: There was only flashes of light; but we heard whispers of a thing.

BARONESS: Whispers, newsies?
AMLAN/RAKI: "Plane-crash victims we are; we greet you; return for more."

BARONESS: Then...you must return...for more (tomorrow/Saturday!).

AMLAN/RAKI: We can make that 'wage' for the great Baroness Kessler.

BARONESS: Good; and you'll be awarded diamonds from Africa for my campfire.

AMLAN/RAKI: Cool...we thought we were merely pawn-sacrifice, Kessler (ha).

BARONESS: Ha (Facebook-like).
