Everyone Needs Someone [Luciboo/McGrowl]

One of the frequent visitors to the castle was a ghost, a rather friendly ghost. Another Casper if you will. He usually stays to himself or with an ex-hunter, McCree, who is now a lovely cursed werewolf. It was a full moon so that meant Jesse was around, mainly hidden from sight because people really don't take to werewolves very well. Though he does have Lucio who helps him sneak into the castle without Jamison knowing. How does one sneak in a nearly 8ft tall werewolf? Oh well, Lucio manages to do so.

Lucio happily talked with McCree, practically sitting on his shoulders as the werewolf walked the halls of the castle, though he'll get an idea. "Wait. I think he's around. Stay here and see if I can actually spook him this time," Lucio said, floating off of McCree and onto the floor before looking up at the creature with a grin. While in his werewolf form, Jesse actually can't talk, much to his displeasure so he'll simply roll his eyes as he watches the small ghost disappear into the wall. Lucio did his best to stay quiet, perking up as he finds Jamie slumped in a chair before moving closer and hiding just next to it. With a smile, he'll jump up with a loud 'boo!'

Jesse heard that and sniffed out both person and ghost, peeking around the corner just to see the other's reaction.

Jamison had never been one to believe in ghosts, he was, after all, a scientist. He wasn't particularly afraid of them either, they were dead, and even if they did exist, what could they do to him? He was almost certain that if ghosts were real, his castle would be haunted, how could it not be? There was no telling what madman lived here before him, judging by some of the equipment found in one of the lower chambers, but there were no ghosts, because ghosts weren't real.

Or so he thought.

He looked to the side with a surprised expression when he spotted the man...or sort of man...quirking his head to the side with a puzzled expression, "who...or what...Are you?" It took him a moment of studying before he jumped up with an excited laughter, slapping his knee, "You are a GHOST?!" He laughed and put a hand to his cheek, "my oh my but you're small...And...Was that an attempt to scare me?!" His amused laughter continued, he really meant no ill with it, but it was just so funny, "you will have to try harder, my spooky friend! I am not a man who scares easily!" He sounded proud of this fact.

Aw, that failed. Lucio huffed at being called small, crossing his arms over his chest as he casually hovers there. "I know I'm small, don't rub it in," he'll say with a small roll of his eyes, looking towards the door to motion for McCree to come in. "I'll figure out a way to scare you, promise! Though I don't think we've met, huh? I'm Lucio!" Lucio said happily with a smile as he floats to get close to the scientist with a small tilt of his head. "You're uh.. Jamison, right? Nice to meet you, man," he continued with a nod. "Sorry that I haven't said hi sooner."

McCree moved to stand nearby, ear twitching a bit as Lucio moves to stand near the creature instead. "This is Jesse, don't worry, he won't bite. Well.. unless you want to be a werewolf too. He's real nice."

Jamison smirked when the ghost got pouty, there was something hilarious about the scenario playing out right now. This small ghost had tried to scare him, and now he was pouting because it hadn't worked, "I wouldn't dream of it." He snickered at that, then gave him a challenging grin, leaning down to his level with a tilt of his head, "Oooh that's a challenge then, is it? Well you're on! Scare me and I'll find a way to bring you back to life!" It lined up well with the things he was researching anyway, giving life to something lifeless, who said a ghost couldn't be made human again? What a fun experiment that would be. He bowed and chuckled, "Yes! Jamison Junkenstein, a pleasure to meet you as well uh...Your name?" Sooner? He rose a brow and chuckled, "have you been here before?"

Though, his attention would be momentarily distracted from the ghost, to his giant furry friend, "uh...A werewolf?" He glanced back at the ghost, "how...How did the two of you get in here?" Well, he knew how he could get in, being intangible, but an 8tf. Werewolf?! He laughed and ran a hand through his wild hair, "I really need to stop hitting the bottle so late...I'm drunk...That's what this is..." He cackled and reached to pat the werewolf on the back, "I'm gonna wake up naked in the fountain again! Wonderful!" He snickered, "Make yourselves at home! Why not!" His hysterical cackling devolved into exasperatedly over dramatic sobs, "when I asked for friends this was not what I had in mind...Oh well!" He clapped his hands and grinned, "this will do!" He turned an unhinged grin on them, "either of you hungry?!"

Now he just feels even more short, compared to both Jamison and McCree. Lucio only continued to huff and pout though the challenge made him tilt his head. "Wait? You can bring me back to life? Don't you need my body and all that first? I would love to come back though. Being a ghost is alright but there's so little one can do," Lucio mumbled before nodding. "I accept this challenge," he'll finally say with a grin. "Lucio, silly, and yeah I've been here this whole time just.. very quietly." Lucio said before looking up at McCree at the question of how they got in. "Well, it's easy for me but it was hard for McCree, considering his size but he found a way in without making any messes. Or noises." However both Lucio and McCree frowned a bit at the drunk comment, glancing at each other and then back at Jamison again. "Oh, we're very real. I just haven't said anything or done anything just in case."

Friend? Lucio brightened up at that as he puts his hands together. "Friends? We'll be your friends!" Lucio added happily before frowning at the question about being hungry. "Uh, I can't eat but I'm sure McCree's hungry." At the mention of food, McCree couldn't help his tail from wagging just a bit along with a small ear twitch, moving to crouch down a bit at the touch to his back.

Jamison tapped his chin at the question, looking thoughtful, "well. I can't yet...But I am working on research to give life to the lifeless. Raising the dead, you see." He grinned wide with a madness in his eyes, "they all laughed at me when I said I could! A challenge I say! From all of them!" He doubled over with his laughter before wiping a tear and clearing his throat, looking over at him, "well...Then I hope my castle has been a suitable home for you, Lucio..." He chuckled as he looked the beast over, "impressive...So since your friend here is a werewolf...Does he become human?" He sure hoped so, housing a burly giant beast could prove difficult, how would he FEED such a thing?!

IT was hi turn to look pleased when Lucio agreed to be his friend, skip-hopping in place, "Oh excellent! I have never had a friend! Now I will have two!" He laughed, then waved a hand as he led them both to the kitchens, "I believe I have something that would sate his beastly hunger! Though I may have to make another trip to the meat market after...But no matter!" He grinned wide, "anything for friends!"
