"Insert spell C into slot J? But slot J already was filled?"
"You must have done it wrong. Here, give me that."
"No! Look, see, it's here, page 18, 'insert bracket V into slot J'. I know what I'm doing!"
"Then the spell must go over the bracket."
"I don't think so..."
"Careful, you'll break it!"
"Well, how else am I supposed to insert the spell?"
"Not like that! Here, let me--"
"No! I can do this myself. Shoo."
"Are you sure that's the right spell? This one looks more the right shape."
"It says C, right on it. See? C! Right here."
"Okay, okay, I get it, carry on."
"Thank you."
"..."
"Don't say a word."
"I wasn't going to."
"Who made this junk anyway?"
"I'm sure spell C wasn't important. Try this one."
"... Fine, give it here."
"See? Snaps right in. I think they were just mislabeled."
"Now, insert spell D into hinge H. Do you have spell D?"
"Uhh, I think it rolled over under the sofa. Hang on... yup, here it is."
"Thanks. Into the hinge you go..."
"Woah."
"Guess that does it. Looks like spell C was an extra piece anyway."
"It looks like a painting made of jello. Can I--"
"No! Don't poke it, we haven't run through the safety protocols yet!"
"But it looks like it'll jiggle. I want to see if it'll jiggle."
"You are not prodding my brand new, untested, extradimensional portal, just to see if it jiggles like jello!"
"Come on... what could it hurt?"
"Did you entirely skip the warning pages? What if you end up stuck in the body of a fish or something!"

"Cool!"
"No, not 'cool', and-- hey! I said no touchy!"
"Pleaaaase?"
"We are going to follow the directions and run the safety test first. Can you at least restrain your curiosity for ten minutes?"
"You said the wardrobe assembly would take an hour. It's been three days."
"This time will be quicker. It's only two pages, see?"
"Hmmm, looks like step 3 is 'wait for 1000 hours to ensure the connection is stable.'"
"Give me that!"
"You mean you didn't memorize it already?"
"Shush, you. Huh. Yeah, it says a thousand hours. Forget that."
"I thought you wanted to do everything by the book?"
"If it wouldn't take forever. Come on, let's see if this thing jiggles."
"And you won't mind if we end up as fish?"
"Keyword here: 'we'."
"Aw, so you do care."
"Shush. Let's go be fish in a fantasy world."
"I thought you'd never ask."

Eve's Guide to Ghost Removal
Eve isn’t interested in anything remotely spooky -- especially not that Paranormal Bullshit. She’s had enough of that already, thank you very much, and now that she’s on her own in a new town, all she wants is to be left alone. She just wants to study the Blackwater Henges, do her job, and have absolutely nothing to do with other people’s problems. Unfortunately, the town of Blackwood seems to have other plans: Eve's new apartment seems haunted, a missing girl is all anyone in town will talk about, and Eve draws perilously closer to getting dragged into people's problems. So much for living a life unbothered by Paranormal Bullshit. Eve is nothing if not stubborn, though. If Paranormal Bullshit wants to drag her into something, she’s going to make it regret that decision.
