They almost hadn't come. Indie had called in sick, Vernice had home work, and J.P. was otherwise engaged (they were being paid for doing a seance for some rich widow in Aldrect), and now as if to add insult to injury, Harold was late. It left just the two of them in the echoing chambers of Lya Point Cathedral.
To a ghost hunter, the legends, rumors and warnings surrounding this place, as well as the rather seedy folk that were sometimes seen entering or leaving the cathedral were not a sign that one should stay away from a place like this, no. Instead, they spoke only of potential. As such, Jess was feeling rather optimistic as he set up the equipment. There wasn't enough of them to justify setting up more than one separate camera, which was placed at the back of the cathedral, facing through the nave. Both he and Nick also had their own, smaller hand-held cameras. The green and white display made them look pale and ghost-like.
"Did you set up the tape recorder?" A flashlight flickered briefly in Jess's direction as Nick turned to speak.
"Affirmative. Did you want to wait for Harold before starting?" Jess returned in his usual clipped tones. A moneyed voice that was in contrast to the rougher accent of his female friend.
Nick rolled her eyes, though nobody could see it in the dark. "Unless you want to be here all night. Let's keep this short and sweet. If he turns up, he turns up." He'd probably gotten himself into a mood again, it was just like Harold not to turn up if he thought no one else was going to. It didn't surprise Nick in the least that he was late.
Jess looked around hesitantly, as if expecting their absent friend to materialize out of the gloom. Upon finding no such person, he seemed to resolve himself to continuing, fishing a small black box out of the pocket of his coat. "EMF session first?"
"Uh, yeah, sure."
He placed the detector on the floor, and sat down on a large piece of fallen masonry. Nick followed his lead. "So," Jess began, clearing his thought. "Is there anybody there?"
((I'd rather not have more than one other person in this RP, thanks for understanding! uwu))
