Who: Kohaku Yuhara, Rex Arany, Ky Kiske, Valvatorez, Lie Ren, Leonardo, and there's probably room for one or two others if you want to crash the party
What: Exploring a ghost ship, getting cursed
When: Mid October
Where: Off the southern coast of France
Warnings: Ghosts
In 1722, a Spanish Brigantine was captured by Captain Tyrel Lyon, a famed pirate. He named his ship Reine Olivier. In 1726, Lyon's ship was finally sunk off the southern coast of France.
Almost three hundred years later, with Nightfall getting ever closer, the power of the supernatural was on the rise. Which was why the Reine Olivier rose back to the surface at 2:30am on a rainy October morning. It was discovered by local fishermen three hours later, but they didn't want to get close because the ship had an eerie aura about it. At 8am the local police investigated the strange ship, but they fled in fear after no less than ten minutes on the ship. Calls were made, informants took notice, and by noon that day Daybreak had a team headed out to investigate. Based on reports, Daybreak staff decided this was a fairly routine haunting, and sent a small group of mostly students to come deal with it for some hands on experience.
It was still lightly raining by the time the Daybreak team arrived. The ship was CLEARLY no longer sea-worthy, with big holes in the hull, yet it floated all the same. If there were any ghosts or skeleton pirates on board, they were not immediately making their presence known, as everything on board was still and silent save for a faint creaking as the ship gently rocked to and fro.
The ship was still undeniably haunted, though. Cold spots moved back and forth across the deck and through the holds. Old artifacts moved around while no one was looking. If you were below decks, every once in a while there was a faint creaking as if someone was walking on the floor above you. Sometimes there was the sound of distant voices speaking archaic French. Also, there were dead bodies (mostly skeletons now) all over the place. Nothing supernatural about skeletons, but they were still damn creepy if you weren't used to them.
All of this is, of course, perfectly normal and run of the mill for anyone used to dealing with ghosts. Exorcising the ship should take no more than an hour or two after which the whole thing will sink back down to the bottom.

Made as much sense as anything to her. She fell into step behind Ky, who was infinitely more experienced in these things, and tried to look in every direction at once.

But suddenly, any and all sounds cease, an eerie silence filling the air...

A similarly near silent sound of unsheathing steel. Measured, careful.
It's near. Very near. Right around the corner...
And it springs into view, a being clad in black, seemingly merging with the darkness, live steel from its weapon glinting in the inky darkness!

Kohaku shouted the first thing that came to mind and flung the stack of runes at him. They were drawn in marker on poster board, so as a weapon their effectiveness against anything alive would be approximately nil, but maybe she could distract him for a second and then the beat down could commence.

The figure might be expected to react very poorly to this, but did almost hilariously babble stereotypically as one might think they would while being electrocuted. And then Kohaku's thrown poster boards hit him squarely, bouncing off harmlessly while the figure convulsed.
...It was at this point that it became clear it was no ghost or anything quite like that.
After a moment, the figure stumbled back and shook his head, before finally speaking in a familiar voice. More surprised than actually upset, though.
"...Ky? Kohaku? What in Hades are you both doing here?"
...He didn't ask why he just got shocked and had things thrown at him.
It was rather obvious to him, as he had a moment to reflect on his life choices while being electrocuted.

"I would like to ask you the same thing! Far as I was aware, you took the day off, and you hadn't been assigned to help exorcise the ship."
no subject
“Professor Valvatorez!? I thought you were a ghost!”
no subject
He answered Kohaku first, actually not looking or sounding terribly upset about it. He leaned down to help collect the posterboards she had tossed at him, as though nothing wrong had ever really transpired.
"Well, I did take the day off, Ky. I was out fishing this morning when I came across this lovely haunted ship! I simply had to come aboard and have a look around! It's adorable, isn't it?"

She looked around at the 'adorable' comment. Daemons, man.
"It's...not AS scary as I thought it would be?"
no subject
Still, he shook his head.
"And pay it no mind, Kohaku. All's well that ends well. I apologize if I caused either of you undue duress, as well. ...Though I suppose it's good to know I have not lost my touch just yet."
