Something Spooky This Way Comes (Open to all at Xavier's)
It had been a long journey, but finally, she was here. She wasn't tired, exactly, she wasn't sure she could get tired now, at least not in the same way as before. But, she was mentally weary and glad to have reached her destination.
She passed through the metal gates protecting the entrance and paused to admire the random and colorful pattern that appeared on the monitor embedded into one of the posts. She stuck an intangible finger through the screen and dragged it around, watching the pixels swirl and follow. It was pretty. Much prettier than the considerably lower tech ATM she was playing with... when was that? It was so easy to lose track of time, now. That ATM had bleeped and blooped and spat out a snowstorm of twenty dollar bills. Pity she couldn't use them now, or even touch them, but it was fun to watch the crowd of people scrambling for them.
She drifted away. The monitor flickered and flashed, then displayed a rebooting sequence. She moved further in to the mansion grounds, invisible and intangible. There were people here. Maybe she could make one of them see her.

Then the eerie voice started saying brains in a foreboding tone of voice. “I don’t know who you are, but if it is brains you are after then I think you may have picked the wrong guy. Mine isn’t the best one to choose.” It was sort of sad for him to admit that, but things were getting sort of creepy.
His eyes shifted to the television screen that was acting odd, and then when the speakers went off he quickly covered his ears while he rose to his feet. “What is it? Who is there?”

"EeeeeeeeEEEEEEeeeeee..."
I give up. This isn't working.
The TV crackled. From the speakers came a distorted sound: "Give up."
Julia flipped the TV the ghostly bird.

Then the speaker asked him if he gave up, and under normal circumstances he would have gone with 'no'. These were hardly normal by any standards.
Grabbing his book, he looked at the television. "Yeah, I give up," he said before turning into vapor and drifting out of the room.
