“Disney+ just loves to mess with my emotions, huh?” Suede looked up from her phone with disappointment etched on her face. “Since it started I’ve been saying how dumb it is that they have all the halloween movies except Under Wraps– my favorite. Now they notify me that Under Wraps in streaming but it’s a new movie made this year? This is not it.”
“Isn’t that the point of Disney+?” Egan couldn’t help but joke, “Though my disappointment goes back a long way for Halloween movies, I haven’t forgiven them since the Halloween Town recasting drama,”

Admittedly daring acts of escape weren't Egan's forte, not unless he was unpicking them bit by bit because Egan had always thrived on working out how things worked. The bits and pieces behind it, he'd only really gone on a deep dive after the Buzzfeed Unsolved episode about Houdini. As he tended to do after watching Youtube videos, not that Egan was giving props to their theoretical competition but hey Egan appreciated their work. So he at least had some ideas stuck in his head when he was preparing to go under.
Theoretically this probably was one of the stupidest things that he'd ever done but Egan was half sure that you were more likely to die skydiving than being buried alive especially with stringent post mortem checks.
Then again...most people weren't likely to shove themselves into a coffin for fun.
Additional fun fact? Egan and the dark? Not the best of friends he would admit. His best work was often done at night but that was always under the cover of a thousand lights being on, possibly with the faint beeping of the microwave as he sleepily yelled at it to shut up. So what was it about the dark?
Simply put the fear of the unknown, maybe he'd watched Us too many times to fear his doppleganger sneaking up on him at night but there was something uncertain about the dark. He liked to plan things, possibly too much but things he hadn't planned for? Well there was that he had to deal with. Maybe instead of doing this Egan should have taken up smoking weed or something, being a stoner seemed like a fun option actually.
There was that to think about at least to pass the time, but aside from the creeping feeling of wrongness that came with the dark.
The feeling of not belonging was a feeling familiar to a young Egan, though he'd found his additional family with the Ghostbusters - it was still a sinking feeling that he recognised still. Like an old bodyache that he thought he'd gotten rid of, he was a creature meant to grow towards the light and bloom like a sunflower. Maybe he was afraid still, a little of the dirt collapsing in on him and getting buried alive.
Those thoughts would plague him until he was buried out because really, he couldn't run away from the what ifs.
Since the first challenge, Jamie had been somewhat in a state of uncertainty. At first he had no idea what had possessed him to do the jump, but once he felt the water hit him he realized that what fears had plagued him for most of his life could be handled in the same way. The only problem was those bouts of bravery were not available 100% of the time. The podcaster and student had been waiting on hearing some news about work and had been furiously looking at his phone, trying to keep his mind from wandering off. However that meant he also wasn’t watching where he was walking and bumped into someone on the sidewalk, dropping his phone. “ I am so sorry about that. “ He replied picking up the phone to make sure he didn’t crack the screen. “ I didn’t hurt you or anything did I?” He asked knowing he physically probably couldn’t do much, but it was polite to still ask.Â
Perhaps unsurprisingly for Egan, he’d fallen back into his old habits after the jump. As if that burst that made him jump had clicked in and then gone away again, a blip on the radar - a statistical anomaly his brain would call it. His head was filled with things that weren’t typically summer, ghosts and well...Egan things. So he hardly noticed as Jamie went into him. “Shit, sorry man!” Egan said, “I’m fine, is uh your phone good?”
For the record, ghosts? Piece of cake. Giant fucking cliff that Egan was psyching himself up to jump off, less so.
He'd had his name on a lot of trophies throughout his life, he was a smart guy - Egan was modest but not so that the science fair prizes and the way his parents would hover around him. He'd always been ambitious, he'd wanted to use his brains for something and while he had a family in his ghostbusters - still there was that whole thing. He'd never really been a teenager, not in the sense that his family had wanted and he'd made them worry.
In a way Egan felt guilty for that, he'd locked himself up in his room with a screwdriver trying to hack the world into a better place.
So was this some weird psychoanalytical bullshit about wanting to recreate his youth? God his youth, he was in his early twenties - it wasn't like he was an old dying skeleton that he and Adam were chasing around an old house like it was a Scooby Doo episode. Yet here he was on top of a cliff with a flare prepping for a run up like he absolutely wasn't trying to rethink this.
"Now or never right," Egan mumbled under his breath.
He was mentally playing his hype up playlist, on top of that playlist? We Built This City by Starship which obviously was a classic for a reason. Also for that scene in the Muppets because who didn't love The Muppets? Egan related to Beaker far more than any grown adult should but there went his brain again trying to divert the subject so maybe he'd give into his anxieties and be like y'know what? Cliff jumping is a hazardous and potentially bad idea, I probably shouldn't do that.
Then again the peer pressure was probably strong enough to outwit that. Or like the peer pressure half of his brain that was tired of this shit and ready to commit.
Well committing to doing something wild as fuck for once, the comfort zone was just a zone after all. Purely from a hypothetical scientific point, it was at least going to be an experiment. If he didn't get his ass knocked out first but he was never gonna get there if he didn't jump. So heart in his throat, Egan Uppal set off at a sprint.
Zella’s jaw dropped comically and her eyes popped open wide. “She invited her ex? Like, in person, on the date with you? Her ex was there? That has to take the cake for bad date stories, who the hell brings an ex to a date with someone new?”
“Go ahead laugh,” Egan couldn’t help but smile a little. “I don’t know, like whether she was trying to use me to make him jealous or she was trying to get a threeway situation. I may have made my excuses,”

“A little, yeah. What happens when you body swap back in and you’re like covered in blood or in prison? I’m pretty sure that possession case didn’t actually work out for the guy who tried to use that as an excuse.”
“I mean I assumed the demon’s in the driver’s seat from now on,” Egan laughed “Oh no I’m looking forward to that movie, I gotta see if they get someone in a nun costume again,”
“Blind date from hell? Been there.” Zella could have laughed but she held back for his benefit. “What happened that was so bad?”
“I mean like I never thought I’d be in one of those posts like I was like this has gotta be over-exaggerated,” Or maybe Egan just had too much faith in humanity. “She invited her ex and it all went downhill from there,”
“Don’t tell me someone tried to have you possessed. I heard about a guy that happened to one. The girl took him out with her friends to some house that was supposed to be haunted because she thought he could be her virgin sacrifice or something.”
“Is it weird that I actually think that sounds kinda fun?” Egan said with a wrinkle of his nose. “Not like actual virgin sacrifice or anything but y’know if a demon wants to take shit from here I’m not opposed,”
“Bad blind dates are the worst. You never want to be rude, but you also are looking for any way to get out of it” Melrose mused. “ What happened?”
“More than once I thought about climbing out the window,” Egan chuckled, “But I didn’t want to be that dick,” He shrugged, “It was going awkwardly but okay, then her ex shows up but like apparently not her ex that she’d been complaining about for most of it. Apparently he either hadn’t got the break up memo or something because she’d invited him,”
“ I know you’re not meaning horror story in the way I am thinking, but I am still curious as to what had happened?” Jamie asked even though he admittedly only wanted to know about the disaster element
“I mean if she turned out to be possessed that would have at least been fun,” Egan said with a shrug, maybe it was questionable that his idea of fun probably involved an exorcism but. “Oh no her ex showed up, who was apparently not her ex,”

“It’s not fair for you to make a call like that when you haven’t let me set you up yet.” Adam said while he researched a dybbuk box someone had apparently bought on the dark web. “At least skip buzzfeed and go straight to reddit. They just take their content from there anyway.”Â
Egan let out a chuckle as he peered at the computer screen, “That sounds like a threat so I’m not taking you up on that,” He squinted at the screen, “Isn’t that what the Ghost Adventures guy has in his museum?”
“I am never letting anyone set me up again,” Egan said with a groan, “Last night, I swear comes in one of the blind date horror stories. I should submit it to Buzzfeed,”
“Concerning?” she repeated, as she pondered it. “I would say more than five cups in a day? Are you… alright? You’re not feeling like your heart’s about to jump out of your chest, right?”
“And I’ve had...” Egan mentally calculated, a feat considering how fast his brain was going right now. “Six and I don’t...think so? My head’s going a mile a minute but...”
“Uhm…” Effy said, as she could tell that Egan definitely had quite a bit of energy. Actually, he had enough that it seemed that he could barely sit still in that moment. “I want to say maybe as much as you’ve probably had. How much have you had, if you don’t mind me asking?”
Egan considered this, “If I tell you that I’ve only had two cups you’re definitely not going to believe me and beat my ass aren’t you?” He fidgeted a little as per typical before admitting “...uh six,”
Suede laughed as she scanned his appearance and looked for the telltale signs of over-caffeination. “It’s widely accepted that we’re only supposed to have 200-300mg of caffeine daily. The average cup of coffee, I think, has around 90-95mg? So I guess three, four cups max is the recommended. How many have you had today?”
“You know that off hand?” Egan asked, mildly impressed before glancing down at his cup. “Uh this is number six I think? It’s kinda a blur,”

“So like hypothetically,” Egan said in a way that definitely said whatever hypothetical he was about to say, was not at all a hypothetical. “How much coffee do you think is too much? Like to concerning levels.”
It took Greg a moment longer than it probably should have to realize Egan was actually talking to him as opposed to the person next to him. It wasn’t everyday someone started up a conversation at a party with him, “Yeah, same. I was kind of let down that they tried to blame it all on mental health, but I figure if they know ghost are real they’re probably keeping it under wraps like everything at Area 51.”
“I’m almost disappointed that the attempt to charge Area 51 didn’t work,” Egan said with a bit of a laugh. “I mean they couldn’t have stopped us all right and I’d have loved to see what was down there,”
