30 - First pt.3

As Zach and Adam made their way to the kitchen with Jack following, Jack checked his system notifications.

[Detected newly encountered spirit medium/s.

Name: EM Pump

Effect: 75% energy cost.

.....

Name: SLS camera

Effect: 1 energy cost per 5 seconds to appear as a stick figure.

]

'That EM Pump isn't as good as being in a charged area like the basement but it's not bad either, so I'll take it.' Jack thought when he saw the notifications as he followed Zach and Adam to the kitchen.

When they got to the kitchen, Zach put the EM Pump on the dining table and turned it on.

"This is called an Electromagnetic Pump it will provide energy for spirits to use." Zach explained to the audience.

Adam pointed the SLS camera at Zach and the pump and used his video camera to record the SLS screen.

"Jack, can you use this energy to move something in here?" Zach asked as he pointed at the EM Pump.

Jack debated on whether he should spend more energy.

With them both here he could potentially get even more experience than if it was one of them alone.

Thinking that it may be worth it, he decided to spend a tiny bit more energy.

After Zach asked a few more questions with no response and Adam decided to do a sweep around with the SLS.

As he pointed the SLS camera to the entryway, he suddenly started capturing a figure standing there.

"Zach, I have a figure standing in the entryway." Adam yelled as he saw the figure and Zach hurried over.

"Can you wave your hand?" Adam asked and Jack waved his hand before he stopped spending energy just before Zach was able to see him.

" Woah it waved and then disappeared." Adam said as Zack neared to look.

"Shit, did you record it?" Zach questioned, disappointed he didn't get to see it.

" Yeah no worries, the forum is probably going crazy right now, Haha." Adam said jokingly and then laughed before smiling, happy that he caught it.

Jack realized it might be harder to scare them when they're together because they feel more comfortable so he decided to quiet down before doing something big.

"Was that you Jack?"

....

"Can you appear again?"

....

"Come on Jack do something.

....

" Can you lift something again, Jack?"

....

"Throw something for us."

After they asked for stuff to happen and not getting anything for about half an hour, they were about to move locations but just before they could Jack picked up a box of cereal that was left on a counter and threw it at Adam making a sound in the process.

"What was....?" Adam questioned as he heard something, then he felt the cereal box hit his back and interrupt him so he hurriedly turned around to see what it was.

"Dude!! I caught that box being thrown at you!" Zach said as he coincidentally had his camera pointed in that direction and caught the box lift up and got propelled by itself at Adam.

"No way." Adam said in incredulity.

"Shit I didn't ask for something to be thrown at me..." Adam complained.

'Don't complain, be happy that I'm giving you content.' Jack said hearing his complaint and then walked over to him and slapped his back.

Right after Adam complained he felt someone pat his back so he leaped forward in surprise before turning to look behind him.

"Did you touch me just now?" Adam didn't see anything but Zack so he asked.

"No?" Zach answered as he turned around looking confused at his sudden question.

"What happened?" Zach asked when he saw Adam swipe his back with his hand and look around.

"I felt something touching me, dude."

"Like someone put their hand on my back." Adam clarified.

"Really?"

"It wasn't me." Zach said

Jack laughed when he saw him freak out and then checked his status.

]

'Not bad almost level 5.'

'I should be able to get it tonight.'

Jack was excited to get level 5 and thankful that these guys decided to come and stay up all night.

"Dude that scared the daylights out of me."

Adam said while Zach replied,

"Being touched by nothing is always scary Haha."

Zach laughed at his disturbed look.

"Jack, did you touch Adam?" Zach started his questioning again.

.....

"Touch him again."

"Dude don't say that, I don't want to be touched." Adam argued.

"It's for the content, don't be a big baby." Zach reprimanded.

"Ugh, No dude, Jack, touch him not me." Adam begged Jack.

Jack really wanted to touch him again but he didn't want to spend any more energy before he regenerated so he couldn't.

Zach decided to ask some questions to hopefully get some answers for the family.

"Jack, are you still here?"

.....

"Can you tell us why you are here?"

.....

"Did you die near here?"

.....

" Why do you haunt this family?"

.....

"What do you want?"

.....

Jack didn't really know how to or want to answer these questions.

He doesn't think there is a particular reason he started in this house and there was no reason to not be here after he started.

He also didn't even die here so he just silently watched them walk around.

He watched Zach and Adam ask more questions but not getting anything they moved on to the living room and then the bedroom but received nothing from Jack.

After nothing happened in the bedroom Zach saw that it was getting a bit late so he said to Adam,

"My shift is almost over, I'm going to go sit in the nerve center and watch over you."

" I want you to go to the basement with the EM Pump and whatever else you want because the EM Pump seemed to help us get more evidence." Zach ordered Adam.

"Yes, sir boss." Adam said and made his way to the basement as Zach left the house.

Jack followed Adam to the basement wondering what will happen with the pump and basement default energy reduction combined.
