I am SERIOUSLY Creeped out

[nintendonut1]

"Now THAT is a good idea," Geno sighed in relief.
"What, did you build another lab outside this mansion too?" Luigi grinned, knowing the professor well.

[mrsaturn123]

"You got it," E. Gadd confirmed Luigi's question ",It's decent sized too. A bit roomier than the one I had outside your mansion."

"That's a relief," Fox sighed ",Now which way is out?"

"This way," Gadd pointed down the hallway to the left ",Follow me."

[nintendonut1]

"Finally! I could do with a rest," Geno sighed, following the group. He turned briefly when he thought he was being watched (which he probably was), but briskly ignored it and caught up.

[mrsaturn123]

The group exited through the front door and Gadd lead them into an old shack.

"This is roomy?" Fox asked.

"Just come inside, you'll see," the old professor beckoned. They stepped inside to find...a small empty shack.

"Uh..." Fox gave Gadd an odd look.

[nintendonut1]

Luigi grinned and pointed to a ladder nearby.
"...huh." Geno blinked, looking down the hole. "I get it! It's underground, right?"

[mrsaturn123]

"Correct," E. Gadd confirmed as he began climbing.

Fox followed behind them.

"Can't believe I didn't notice that..." Fox mumbled.

[nintendonut1]

Luigi giggled. "No prob, it was dark," he replied, climbing down next.
"Wait up!" Geno followed.

[mrsaturn123]

The group headed down the ladder and into a pitch black room.

"I can't see a thing," Fox squinted trying to see the room as best he could.

"Confound it! I need to move that switch or something," E.Gadd stumbled across the lab in the pitch black to the other side of the room running into things occasionally ",Ah! Got it!"

The lights switched on showing the messy lab. Various tools and gadgests were strewn about covering the tables and things. The biggest thing there was the Ghost Portrificationizer he had mentioned earlier.

"Alright, first thing's first. Luigi, let's turn those ghosts back into paintings!" the professor gestured to the slot where they were to be emptied through.

[nintendonut1]

"Ahh... right!" Luigi slipped the Poltergust's nozzle into the slot, and there was a sucking sound before he tore away.
Geno watched the ghosts float into the flattening chamber and watched them spin as is they were in the spin cycle of a washing machine. "Whoa... Too cool."

[mrsaturn123]

E. Gadd led them down the conveyer belt explaining to them the process. Fox was barely listening to the old man ramble though as he mostly just watched with great interest. When it was done the portraits dropped down into the chute that most likley led to the gallery.

"Well, you guys seem tired, it is getting late. Perhaps we should wait 'til morning?" E. Gadd suggested.

[nintendonut1]

Geno yawned. "I'm fine with that."
"You sure that safe, Prof?" Luigi asked.

[mrsaturn123]

"Oh yeah, you worry too much," E. Gadd reasured him ", I have this place locked up tighter than a-"

"OW!! SH**!!" Fox shouted from the back of the room.

[nintendonut1]

"Huh?" Geno was the first to turn around. "WHOA! FOX!"

[mrsaturn123]

E. Gadd ran over to him.

"That's why you don't touch everything when you're in my lab," Gadd warned.

"You could've said that earlier," Fox growled, his fingers in his mouth. Gadd put on oven mitts or something to pick up the hot beaker Fox burned himself on.

"If you're going to handle a beaker put your hand close to it and if it's radiating heat then don't touch it without oven mitts," Gadd explained ",Learned that the same way." He put the beaker on another hot plate next to some other beakers. "Now we should all get some rest. Come with me."

We walked off into the next room as Fox followed.

[nintendonut1]

Geno gave Fox an inward look. "You nearly scared us half to death."

Luigi, however, couldn't help but snicker.
