"Yeah, they're gonna be scared all right." Sara puts both of her hnds in her lap. "So...what do you like to do in your spare time?"

"Well I'm going to college. Well not right now, summer break, but my mom said I should find a summer job for spending money and I should start paying part of the bills you know? I love mythology, especially oriental mythology, so I've taken lots of courses and read lots of books on that. I'm mainly studying linguistics so I can be in the embassy like my mom. She's like in Italy now doing something for the government. Pretty important. I don't get to see her alot now adays, well." she shrugged, it's obvious that Elyssa misses her, but she's putting on a brave front.
"I can speak Mandarin chinese and Japanese fluently and am pretty good at Italian, Greek and German. And I can cuss people out in at least ten languages including ancient egyptian and bablyonian."
"Oh and I'm also taking karate and judo. Sensi said that the soft disapline would be good for me. And the meditation techniques are helping some too. I can now produce lights and sound." Elssya said.
She cupped her hands together and energy seemed to coalesce around them, forming into a tight little ball of glowing light. As an added bonus she caused it to twirl and dance around her hands.

Elyssa and Sara speak a mile a minute to each other as they sit upstairs waiting for Louis to join them. Young Vince has gone to each of the other members of the new squad and spoken briefly with them about their questions and desires as new members of the team. As Elyssa forms a little light ball in her hands, Vince sees it's reflection off the screen of the arcade-style Capcom vs. Marvel console and immediately spins around...
'No!!! Don't do tha--'
**CRRRRACCCKKK-KACCCKKK--BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!**
Before Vince can finish her sentence, a shot of powerful electrical energy shoots out from a strange globe generator in the lab section at the front of this level, and completely engulfs the young psychokinetic. The other Ghostbusters stare with wide eyes as the flash of energy dissipates, and what remains is Elyssa standing there wearing blackened and charred clothing, her face smudged with soot, and her hair standing straight out to it's ends. She is unhurt, but obviously a little worse for wear.
'I'm sorry...' says Vince... 'I should have mentioned that some of Uncle Egon's inventions are still running up here and that you should avoid using anything that deals with PKE because it'll set off some of them. Are you okay?'

Dan dove for cover at the big light show. Of course, there wasn't much cover, so it was more like sticking his head under the chair with his butt in the air. Well, you know, if he had to lose a few pounds, he could do worse...
As the little girl with the boy's name spits out her warning, Dan re-emerges, flushing as he realizes he seems to be the only one who took a dive. Luckily, the psychic girl's Looney Toons impression seems to have most people's attention. He slips back up onto his chair. Doing his best to look composed, but generally feeling pretty green around the gills, Dan raises a finger to ask a question.
"Could you just ... um, exactly what is PKE? Other than, apparently, explosive."

Little Vince looks at Dan with a disapproving look, since he doesn't recognize one of the first acronyms needed in busting ghosts.
'It stands for Psychokinetic Energy. It's what all ghosts, spirits, and paranormal entities and users require to fuel their existance. Elyssa is a minor psychokinetic user, and thus she set off Uncle Egon's "Energized Polyhedronal Staticsplitting Uniflector".'
She throws it a glance, and then looks at Elyssa, still smoking...
'It's technical. It's one of our little toys.'

Dan nods sagely, then starts scribbling in his idea notebook:
* PKE - Psycho Energy
* Flash powder + quick change = cheap explosive effect?
* Serial killer is killing psychics - with their own powers - but even they don't know who's next!
* off-broadway, or basic cable?
As he does this, he manages to follow up, doing his best kiss up / cover up routine to say "Of course, I knew that. I just get fluttery when I'm nervous. You know. But, now, that looks not very portable, and we're going to be going out on the road, of course, so... what kind of, heh, toys will we be playing with?"

William watches all of the excitment with a look of barely uncontained glee. When vince explains the explosion and light show, William can't take it anymore.
"Uncle Egon? You mean Egon Spangler? THE Egon SPENGLER? Cool! He's...wow...COOL! His treatise on how PKE can coalesce and cause psycho-empathic fluctuations was amazing. I hardley understood any of it but...wow! And his cliff notes for Tobin's Spirit Guide? WOW!"
William realises his outburst, turns red, and them mumbles...
"Oh, um, hi. I'm Billy...erm, Will Hufflemeyer. I don't have any special powers or anything, but I live kinda nearby...I saw the ad. I think Mr. Tully went to fetch us some uniforms...maybe proton packs or something...you can probably change into that. The uniform, not the proton pack."
