Abolish Veylocke has a perfectly satisfactory work-life balance. He gets a minimum of six hours of sleep each night, he regularly talks to his coworkers, and he makes a habit of jogging every morning. Sure, he spends more time dealing with the supernatural than anyone else he knows, but that’s because he’s competent. If he left it to someone else, people would die.
Apparently, the organization disagrees. He’s on a bit of a mandatory vacation until he can “prove he can make friends” and “have enough of a personality that someone will notice if Abolish gets possessed.” First off, rude. Even worse, it’s an inefficient use of resources. They’d be better off training everyone else to not die when a haunting gets completely out of hand, and then friendships might actually last long enough to matter.
To make a long story short, since Abolish can’t do his actual job, he’s been stalking a local group of amateur ghost hunters.
…Amateur may be putting it lightly.

Apo Kuna isn’t completely drowning in classwork. Unfortunately, every time she gets a moment to breathe, her three least sane friends beg her to let them potentially get themselves killed in whatever condemned building they latched onto this time, and Apo has a difficult time saying no. At least they pay her back for gas.
Usually, Apo spends the outing doing readings in the car until the others scare themselves silly and she has to go collect them, but the past few days, she’s noticed someone watching them. Apo would ask the disaster trio about it if there were any chance they wouldn’t immediately declare the stranger a ghost. Most likely, their repeated trespassing pissed someone off and she’s going to have to be diplomatic about it. Ugh.
It’s probably better to figure out what’s going on with this guy sooner rather than later. They owe her so much for this.
