Lou tends to switch from Cajun English to rapid-fire Cajun French when very upset. 
Yep, figured that.
And unless I’m much mistaken, “Maudit salope” means:
Nasty Bitch, or words to that effect. ie: nice lady. Good touch!
“Wicked!” Kris screams as the ghost disappears. “That was awesome and I know just how to celebrate. There is this brand new beer we should all try. It’s called…gosh, I almost have forgotten…” Kris pauses for a moment.
“Aha!” he cried. “It’s Milwaukee’s Best Light! It must be awesome because, well, it’s called the best! Let’s go get some!”
Yes, Milwaukee Best Light was introduced in 1986. Poor suckers. 
Hahahaha! I’m not much of a beer drinker, but I know what’s good, and that ain’t it! Not sure it’s as bad as Lone Star beer tho… But Dr. Pepper is the official drink of Texas, and I looove that stuff. Gonna go get one right now in fact.
Kinda want a beer tho. :smack:
Gerald gratefully accepts a beer and then slumps down on a nearby bench, divesting himself of his gear.
“That. Was. Radical.”
He pops the top and takes a long swig from the can.
“Could’ve been worse. She could’ve trashed the fridge.”
Lou sets down his Proton Pack and asks, “‘Ey, one o’ y’all toss me a Doc?”
Brian stands adn walks over to the other guys, grabs a beer adn formally introduces himself.
He then asks JT about the equipment and permission to use the lab to examine the ghostbusting equipment, since he’s never seens anything like it.
“Have you got all that on video, then? We should watch it.”
“Great idea! Let’ ask JT where the VCR is, and check it out”

J.T. picks up the ghost trap, and leads the team to the EctoContainment Unit in the corner of the workshop. Brian and Kristopher look on with particular interest as he shows them all how to insert the ghost. He then clears the Ghost Trap and places it with the rest of the stored gear.
“You are all official Ghostbusters!” exclaims J.T. as you finish signing the paperwork. “Welcome to your Headquarters.”
"Gerald, I’d like you to be the team’s frontman. Not a leader as such, but I think you would do well as the face of our franchise. You’ve shown a remarkable ability to talk to people, and I think this is the best way to utilize that.
The rest of you are not required to follow Gerald’s orders blindly; he’s not your boss." J.T. thumps himself on the chest and says, sternly, “I am your boss. But I’d like you to at least give him the benefit of the doubt if he asks you to do something, especially in public.”
“Kristopher, your skill with a Proton Pack is nothing short of astounding. In addition, you’ve proven your skill at repairing the equipment here, and so I’d like you to be the team’s Equipment Expert. You’ll be in charge of general upkeep, and for the moment at least, let’s give Kris the benefit of the doubt in tactical situations. He can shoot faster than anybody I’ve seen, so I’d like the rest of you to cooperate with him in the kind of situations where we need to use that skill.”
“Louis, I don’t think I ever want to get in the car with you again…” he says with a crooked smile, “but nobody can doubt that you’re an excellent driver. I’m going to make you our head of transportation. You’ll be in charge of getting the team where they need to go, and therefore you’re the one we’ll talk to about vehicles. If you’d be so kind as to help me get the Suburban put back together, I could really use your input on getting her souped up. Tell me what you need, and I’ll see that you get it.”
“As for you, Professor Jenkins. You’ve got quite an impressive resume’ here, and a knowledge of physics that none of the rest of us can match. In addition, your independent development of a way to photograph ghosts shows that you’re open to ideas about the paranormal. I’d appreciate it if you would take the role of instructor, to the rest of us, on these matters. I believe Gerald can assist you in matters of Parapsychology in particular. In addition, I’d like to consult with you from time to time about potential upgrades to our equipment. Of course, any ideas you have on these matters are also welcome.”
“You are all welcome to suggest any improvements or changes you feel would benefit the team as a whole, including vehicle, equipment, remodeling of the building, possible recreational gear, and snackfood in the break room. And anything else you can think of, within reason. We’ve got a good team here, and I want us prepared for anything and everything. I think we’ll need to be!”
J.T. goes around the room, giving you each a firm handshake in turn, and welcoming you to the team.
J.T. lights up an old briarwood pipe and gets himself a fresh beer as the group gathers in the break room to see what Brian got on his videocamera.
More to come later; I have to get up ‘early’ tomorrow!
Congratulations again!
Send me your ideas!!!
Approximately one week of game time will pass before our next mission; this could be as soon as tomorrow if y’all get bored waiting!
Brian spends some time in the lab, examining the equipment. The Proton Packs, in particular, interest him.
The next day over lunch he comments to the team: “So, I’ve been studying these proton packs. Just a warning. Crossing the streams would be… bad. Very bad.”
J.T. “I’m fuzzy on the whole good-bad thing. Waddya mean ‘bad’?”
“Ah. Ok, important safety tip, thanks Professor.” 
“If the Doc is planning on recording all of our busts, a video editing setup might be nice to have. We could cut our own advertisements, too, not to mention clips to send to local news stations.”
Brian’s videocassette is played for the group:
The image opens with the the image of an attractive young woman center-screen, occupied with dismantling the Suburban. It follows her as she turns to look off-camera to her left, as a male voice begins to speak. She passes through the vehicle, and as the camera moves, Kristopher comes into view from the left, still speaking.
As Kris continues to speak, the softly-glowing woman grows more and more agitated. Suddenly, her anger overwhelms her, and the video captures her transformation into a hideous, terrifying creature!
Unfortunately, Kristopher is perfectly visible in the shot as well, and his reaction is glaringly obvious! Making a face that every parent of a toddler knows all too well, Kristopher fills his trousers and, pants visibly sagging, very quickly waddles off-camera.
…right as the lens turns out of focus, as Brian panics and releases his control (of the camera’s aperture, not his own like Kris did!)
The next few moments are a blur of motion and lights; although the sound continues to be picked up perfectly, nothing visible can be made out clearly.
The video ends with what may or may not be a humanoid figure, blurrily raising an arm; perhaps someone is waving?
Unfortunately, nothing here is usable footage! It’s true that a perfect image of the phantasm’s transformation was captured, but Kristopher’s distinct reaction is too clear, and would never be allowed on television. And everything after that, although you can almost kind of make out what happened since you were there, is far too blurry and unfocused for professional use.
With Kristopher’s permission, the part with the phantasm’s transformation *might *be usable as proof of the afterlife, before it goes out of focus. But it’s terribly embarrassing footage, at best, and certainly NOT how you’d want to advertise the Ghostbusters!
Better luck next time, Brian!
“Well…” says J.T. “A video editing setup is gonna be pretty expensive, ya know, if’n we want something high-quality. I’ll look into it, but no promises. I’d rather focus on stuff directly related to our job, to be honest, at least while we get started. When we get some good footage we can rent time in a video editing lab, how’s that sound? Then, later, when the big bucks start rolling in…” he shrugs, noncommittally.
“Any other suggestions or requests?” he asks. “Lou, ya given any thought to the car?”
I’ve had a long busy day so this post seems a little incoherent to me somehow. Oh well, so be it.
The reason the video didn’t come out right is because that’s what Brian J. and I decided upon as the result of his Ghost Die.
PS: If anybody knows anyone who might know about a video editing rig that might have ‘fallen off a truck’ or something… q;}
Gerald looks like he’s ready to cry as he watches the ruined footage.
Professor Jenkins expresses his disappointment with the ruined footage and picks up the video camera.
“Maybe if I make some adjustments…” he muters as he wanders off to his lab.
“Well, I’m not allowing any footage of me…uh, running away to be used in any ads. We’ll have to try to record more cool stuff the next time we get a chance. Uh, how are we going to find anyone who needs ‘ghost busting’?” Kris says.
Lou grabs a Dr Pepper from the fridge and pops it open. “Raht. Well,” he says between sips, “she gots da off road setup so dat’s good. Don’ wanna be taken out bah some random hole in da road so an egstra set o’ shocks couldn’ hurd. Ah see she gots da tree-fiddy, mebbe swap wid da tree-edde deesel? Deres alsa da fo-hunned or da fo-fiddy-fo. ‘Couse she goan need special pain’.”
Lou finishes off his Doc. “Been meanin ta ax. Ah have a mo’sickle in stow-rage, ah’d lahke ta take back da ren’al and park da bike in here.”
Brian looks at Lou with an puzzled expression. Takes a moment to parse all that.
“Yeah we need the Suburban up and running. I’ll tune up the Ghostbusting equipment and look into video editting options. That leaves an opening for someone to look for more business. Kris, is that up your alley? Maybe check alternate newspapers and radio, for reports on odd unexplained occurrences.”
"Your bike coul be useful, can’t carry much equipment but at least you can get places quicker than in the Suburban. " He says to Lou.
“Hey, I’ll check the car,” Kris says approaching it immediately. He starts putzing about with it.
Kris rolls an equipment expert roll. He rolls 9 and a Ghost die. Great.
