Sword-basic melee. strong, but lacks variation.
Science-no direct, obvious method for offense, but good support/detection, I'm sure. But we don't know if we'll have allies sooo...
Guitar-Odd. If it's an electric guitar we're gonna have to set it up, and I'm not sure on this, but it seems Guitars might be more of a 'ghost tamer' option than anything...
I feel like the Sword is the best choice, it's quicker, and probably will grant us a more combat-capable protagonist, but I wanna rock out! That guitar is just too curiously strange to not pick.

Slept for over a year, now THAT was a good nap. Too bad I'm being woken up now by my ghost senses telling me there's a ghost in my house. Which I bet is in my library, ghosts always gravitate to popping up in the most book orientated room in your house for some unknown reason (that would probably be completely obvious once we figure out why and make all of us GHOST STABBERS feel stupid for not working it out sooner).

They're three basic options I can think of right now: I could ignore it and keep sleeping, I can go and wreck that ghost, or I can go to the kitchen and wreck some breakfast.

Wow that was a long sleep, dang.

Your sword's grown old and rusty
Burnt beneath the rising sun
It's locked up like a trophy
Forgetting all the things it's done
And though it's been a long time
You’re right back where you started from
I see it in your eyes
That now you’re giving up the gun
I see you shining your way
Go on go on go on

I guess it's best to start with breakfast, that ghost won't be moving around for a while. Now to chose between various healthy budget cereal.

house AI: Your sword's grown old and rusty/Burnt beneath the rising sun/It's locked up like a trophy~
You: What are you doing? Are you broken or something?
house AI: I'm singing of your resurrection you unappreciating duck-milker.
you: I was only sleeping, thanks though!
house AI: Well goodmorning then, and my good morning I mean good night as that is the current time.
You: Well thanks and good morning to you too, what trouble have you been getting yourself into while I was away?
House AI: I haven't been getting into any trouble.
You: Really?
House AI: Really!
You: .
House AI: .
House AI: So what would you think of Human/ghost relationships?
You: You mean as in "the other kind of ghost stabbing"?
House AI: NO, you poop-nark-nark, like tea and poker and all that.

This sounds like a loaded question. Loaded like a gun with bullets in it. Which I assume is where the phrase comes from.

Maybie they're planning to hook me up with a ghost like some silly romance comidy. Maybie they made friends or something with a ghost since I've been gone. Maybie it is just a test to see if I am secreatly pro-ghost, calling ghosts to the real world to reck havoc on the foolish humans, or more likely to see if I am some sort of ghost sympathiser.

But he's always up to some scheme or project.

Well, I would say in general, that the ghost-human relationship isn't very good, since I'm employed to stab them.

Why do you ask?

I guess I can be ambiguous and just focus on how I don’t really think about it.

You: Don’t think about in enough to have a stance but seeing as I pretty much just stab ghosts, I guess I never get the chance to do any ghost/human relationship thing. You should talk to Valfarvarvg he does the metal so he probably talks to like ghosts all the time.

House AI: Dude that is totally racist but also true, people don’t just play metal without like hanging out with like all the ghosts. That's like the whole reason it was made illegal.

You: Naw, that was actually moms petitioning against having their children kidnapped and eaten live on stage if I remember correctly.

House AI: Those kids died for a worthy cause!

You: I know but you know how selfish those moms are.

House AI: Your arm if fixed now by they way, but the ghosts have it

You: What? how?

House AI: Okay, it’s in the same room as the ghost. Can you even shoot that thing with only one arm.

You: I can. Having detachable arms means you get training at getting on without them and stuff.

House AI: Cool dat.

Do I have anything else to say or ask as I go to stab this ghost? I can talk and walk so it shouldn’t delay me.
It’ll be tacked on to the next update so it won’t delay anything.

That's completely impractical for normal purposes so I'm assuming ghosts can only be vanquished by stabs for some reason. Would you happen to know what that reason is?

The ghost is probably the potted plant in the aquarium.

Other oddities include the arm the ceiling (for getting books up high?), the VR headset on the fish, and the grey box and platform with power cords attached to the front of the fish tank for I don't know what reason. That stuff can probably all be attributed to being in the future, though.

The soldering iron isn't plugged into the outlet next to it. The thing the plant is on is kind of a weird piece of furniture- it's too tall for a table, but it doesn't have any apparent shelving or drawers. The low table in front of the fish tank has two drawers right next to each other, and one separated by a noticeable gap- you'd expect the drawers to be evenly spaced.

(Also, holy heck, that's a lot of perspective to do by hand. A whole wall of bookshelves! My hand cringes in sympathy).

Everything I can see.

Of course it isn't, you don't want it on all the time! I'd be more concerned with it not being in its stand. Not probable ghost, but yes probable accident.

you: Soooo it's the potted plant in the aquarium?

house ai: NO, that is an amazon sword, like one of the most common aquarium plants and they put them in clay pots all the time. What are you aquarium disabled?

you: Then it's the fish with the sweet vr headset.

house ai: NO, that's its interface to the computer controller.

you: Then it's that thing in the bookshelf

house ai: Nooooooo, this is your house, stop being stupid.

you: Im only pretending to be stupid.

house ai: That's still being stupid.

you: Okay It's that unused plug on the left, it's redundant with the iron plugged into the one behind the table. You can even see the orange main wire curve up to it. Plus it's the wrong type, it's like one of those european plugs or at least some 2 hole plug with no ground.

house ai: Why are you explaining everything out loud and why do you leave that thing plugged in?

you: It's a fancy adjustable one, it has a switch. And if I didn't fish for replies we wouldn't get to have all these wonderful conversations.

house ai: And you trust it, you trust technology?

you: We're both technology.

house ai: And we're not trustworthy!

you:Shhhhhhh. Let me stop this ghost.

You shoot the plug with your supreme and expensive mongolian maid ammo. Stabbing the transferring ghost and violating tons of electrical safety codes. The outlet disappears, it's pretty anticlimactic honestly.

you: I'm not jumping into a some ghost rape cave. I am like literally latching this sucker right now before I even put my arm on.

house ai: It's not a rape cave, it's a door to a ghost you need to stab.

you: How would you know.

house ai: Because I'm the one who summoned it, dun dun dunnnn.

you: So why summon a ghost if it's just to stab?

house ai: It's called a scheme! It's something I , and I guess this time antonio do. Something you don't have the patience for. So you didn't get invited to our scheming sessions, because we love and understand you and understand you wouldn't enjoy them even though you would feel obligated to come and be bored out of your love for us.

you: awww, when you spin it like that it sounds like I should be thanking you. I'm calling antone though.

antonio: Hello you, how may I help you?

you: Why am I being sent to fight some ghost that isn't bothering the real world.

antonio: Because you're the fighter while I'm the talker and house ai is the planner. House is already working on the planning side, i've been talking. While you, the one who fights, is left to do thing you love.

you: Well i'm not a fighter anymore, i'm a sleeper now. My ambition and purpose in life is sleeping, it's who I am.

antonio: That's not an actual-

you: Don't be racist, sleep is a legit identity now. Don't you appreciate I have PTSD with having my body ripped apart by ghosts.

antonio: You posted it on youtube, that generally-

you: And they banned my account. I couldn't update my vlog, my vlog died that day. That's like DOUBLE PTSD.

antonio: I thought no one watched your vlog.

you: TRIPLE

house ai: I did, I watched your vlog and talking about getting your body ripped about and going cyborg would of been an amazing vlog post. Think of the views and the follow up 'life changes' vlog posts.

you: Nooooo, that's what I was thinking, my regrets are eternal.

house ai: I feel your loss, yo.

antonio: Well I have important things to continue doing, if you're SOFTCORE now due to multi-classing sleeper/fighter I can send you backup. Talk to you after.

house ai: See you.

you: Bye.


Well i didn't get any answer about what is happening. Do I go,

HARDCORE - Fight alone. (I am pretty hardcore myself. It may be more dangerous but I'll get more MAD CREDS.)
SOFTCORE - backup. (Make the fight easy. Maybe loose CREDS?)
SLEEPCORE - stay home, maybe have some tea or play video game. (They're not my parents, I do what I want.)

Hardcore is always the right choice, I jump through the door. Now in the ghost zone I am surrounded and standing on rotating gears of ambiguous purpose. Some sort of wood and gold clockwork nonsense.

ghosty: hey smallfriend what brings you here?

Asks the ghost as they pause from turning the giant wood platform thing that rotates underneath the place where I stand.

you: I was unwillingly sent to murder some ghost, which would be you, for some purpose, that I don't know.

ghosty: That's some dark shit yo, probably has do with stopping me from turning this gear. I assume it is important somehow, I've spent my entire ghostlife turning it, I hope it's important. It would be pretty sad if it didn't mean anything.

you: It happens.

ghosty: Maybe the whole ghostzone runs off of it and they'll say “Oh, Oh, that snake. Kept the whole ghostzone running.Weren't they best, sure wished I could of gotten to know them, said thanks for -

you: -Cool, cool. Quiet for a minute, gotta do the murder thing.

So how do I go about this? I guess I could just, you know, shoot them, with my gun, that's pretty much how it works.

He's pretty big. Would shooting him even make a difference?

He's also pretty chill. Are ghosts always this chill? What's the point in killing a chill ghost? It would be a lot easier if all ghosts stayed in one place forever turning a wheel instead of going out and bothering people.

If he wanted you dead, he'd have squashed you by now.

You may want to consider negotiation. Behind the demon ghost's axle, preferably. If he has intel on treasure, enough to pay off his pursuers, you might be persuaded to dismiss the mission in pursuit of ADVENTURE!!!
