It was just getting dark outside when a figure clad in dark robes came to the door that lead to the home of the USS Enterprise Model child, Pilot, and his Guardian, Ophelia. After rummaging around in it's sleeves for a moment, it pulled out a cube; a tiny cube, no bigger than a dice. The figure placed the Cube just outside of the door; when the figure stepped away, the cube twisted and turned until it became a box. A gray box with a green ribbon.
The gift given, the robed figure rang the door bell, knocked on the door, or made enough noise to convince the inhabitants to investigate. Knowing that it's gift would somehow be found, it disappeared into thin air, leaving the gift behind.
(( Who finds the item? What do they do with it? Do they open it? Leave it there? Kick it away? RESPOND. ))

Ophelia had been cleaning up after dinner when the ruckus was heard. Calling out that she would get it she made her way to the front door. Opening it she looked around for whoever had been at the door. Frowning when she couldn’t see anyone and thinking it was a prank she was about to close the door when her eyes were drawn to the doormat.
“AHHHH A PRESENT!” She screamed whilst reaching for something to arm herself with. Holding an umbrella in front of her she heard two sets of footsteps racing up behind her.
Reaching her Morpheus held out the walking stick he had grabbed and slowly crept towards the present. “I can’t hear any ticking. Which means we can rule out old fashioned time bombs and clocks.” He whispered to her whilst tentatively reaching out to poke it. Flinching the second he walking stick touched it he waited for something to happen.
Watching his Mom and Uncle Morph make a big fuss about a simple present Pilot gave an internal huff. Pushing past them he picked up the present.
“PILOT NO!” Ophelia screamed as she watched her precious child pick up the potentially deadly package.
Ignoring his frantic Mom and frozen Uncle he opened up the present...

"HELLOWORLD!" Came a happy shriek once the box was opened, the little gray smoke creature shooting out with both arms wide open, the hypnodisk on a chain held in one hand. "Hellohellohello" It chittered, hugging Pilot's face only to fall right through him. The little creature looked confused for a moment; why was it on the other side of the kid's head now? OH WELL! Cheering it shot up, dancing around the Male and the Female, but stopping in front of the female.
"HelloyouneedtogotoBalcombeCuriousities." It said matter-of-factly, staring at Ophelia with a wide eye (the eye itself seems to have grown a spiral shape to it and it twisted around and around and around), but waving the disk in the male's direction. Well, he'd get one of them at least!

The second the smoke creature came out of the box Ophelia screamed. It wasn’t a scream of terror though, it was a scream of delight. Ophelia adored ghosts, they always had the most delightful stories. A grin splitting her face she quickly answered, “Sure, as long as I can ask some questions.”
Pilot had a perplexed face as he watched the being converse with his Mom. Ever since he’d gotten his new ability he’d noticed that everyone had a buzzing feel about them but he got nothing from this thing, which made him really curious.
Morpheus watched as Ophelia dropped her guard at the sight of the thing, and Pilot never had his up to begin with, before deciding that since he was the only one still being wary he’d have to go along to make sure they didn’t get in any trouble.

Sure? Well, that was easy! "Questionswhatquestions?" It chittered out. It didn't know much, actually...did it know anything at all? It was hungry, it knew that. The little creature apparently had gotten bored in the last two seconds, as it suddenly spun away from Ophelia and after bouncing around the room collided square into Morpheus' chest. "Oof!" It cried, rubbing it's face before spazzing around and falling through Pilot again.
...Oh hey! The boy was back! "Haaaaaaaaaai." It said, a wide toothy grin opening up from seemingly no where on the thing's face. "YoucracklelikecerealI'mhungryfoodplease?"

Great! Most ghost where a bit hesitant to answer questions a first. Just as she was about to ask the first in a long line when it bounced away and collided into Morpheus. Getting an odd look on her face she wondered for a second if the ghost had suffered some brain damage when it had died.
Morpheus eye twitched as it collided with him. Grumbling he grabbed his and the others coats plus Ophelia’s ever present backpack, they looked a bit too caught up in the being to think about things they would need when going out.
“You can hear that too! That’s so awesome, Mom and Uncle Morph can’t!” Pilot said with awe as he gave the being his attention.
Rolling her eyes at the possibly-brain-damaged ghost she shooed them out the door, gratefully taking her coat and backpack from Morpheus.
