Something only a ghost could do...?

[ Uh, what could ghosts do? Their knowledge of pop culture was woefully inadequate, and supernatural stuff wasn't really something they kept on their personal memory. Eventually (thought their "eventually" was only a long time from a computer's point of view) they went to the large doors and made an unsuccessful attempt to put their hand through it. ]

Do ghosts have to learn how to be ghosts?

[closewithnewintown]

... I... don't know. There aren't ghost schools, are there?

[pause]

No, there aren't ghost schools. It doesn't look like we're ghosts, then.

[begetblue]

Whew...

[ Turing slumped forward as all that pent-up stress left their body all at once. ]

I thought that because I pressed the button, you were... [ Saying the rest of it felt like tempting fate. ]

[she leans over and gives them a little head pat.]

Don't worry about it. I bounce.

[she pauses, looking around at the elevator.]

I wonder why that button made it do that. Why would you have a "drop out of nowhere" button in the first place?

[begetblue]

[ The head pat seemed to settle them down, despite the fingerprints that were now on the top of their head. ]

I would like to know the answer to that question as well... I wonder if that also means the school has a multitude of hidden basement floors?

[closewithnewintown]

Is it even possible? I mean, I know people that live under the ground, but you can only go down so far...

[she glances at the door]

... Wonder what's on this floor.

[ Turing nervously glanced at the elevator doors. Whatever was out there would have to be investigated sooner or later, so that was a very important question. ]

You...want to go look?

[ Of course, knowing something should be done and actually wanting to do it were two very different things. ]

[closewithnewintown]

Anything that's behind a big red button has to be really important. [nods decisively

and then looks on expectantly for them to press the button to open the door.]

[begetblue]

[ Oh boy. They could just pull a fast one and press one of the buttons for the upper floors, but there was also nothing stopping Stephanie from going right back down here again. ]

I don't disagree, but it could be dangerous, so please be careful...

[ They looked back at her one more time as if to say "you're really sure about this, right??" before finally pressing the button. ]
