"Oh... My names Sunset Shimmer...! And well then, a device for tracking the portals is actually the best thing for us to find them as of right now! Thanks for that piece of intel Dr. Finklestein!"

Sunset then noticed the latest invention but turned back to the inventor to listen in on how they were in terms of nature and acting.

"Oh? Well that saves us and the folks here some valuable time then. What do they seem to do exactly?"

Sunset tilted her head slightly as she was curious about the greatest mind of this town knowing something.
Marcus
"Thanks to Sally's help as well as some other experiments: I have come to a conclusion these beasts function similar to ghouls... Only better looking." 

The mad doctor would move and grab a book of his notes and placing it down on the operating table and flipping through the pages. 

"They seem to be attracted to sentient living creatures, bypassing animals and such. Along with eating the 'heart' of a person and raising those killed as one of their own... Much like a ghastly Ghoul. So it was simple to create a lure that resembles the 'heart' that they seem to long after. This still doesn't clue us in on how to eradicate them. They just respawn after their seemingly killed elsewhere..."
Travis
Jack then snapped his fingers, thinking of something.

"So they are attracted to these 'hearts' right? Dr. Finklestein, can you create the strongest 'heart' you can? If we do that and put it up in the town square, they shall be too concerned to attack other people. Like a skeletal horse to a carrot!"
Latanya
"That seems like our best option to be fair. A possible lure could attract them into the town square, and then we can interact with them to try and make them friendly towards the other monster folks here... Yeah that seems about right for what Jack is saying!"

Sunset told the two next to her as she got her Wooden Sword out.

"But incase of the off-chance they seem to want to attack me or specific folks, i can probably defend the town should the lure becomes a disaster. I highly doubt that though!"
Marcus
"That'll take some time. Then. I need to learn more about what this 'heart' is composed of. I use that word as it is what it appears leave a body when they kill a victim now go! You'll get in my way if you laze about here." 

Dr. Finklestein would say and begin to look over his notes more, massaging his brain directly again and muttering to himself.
Sheldon
A moment later, a tall and lanky woman would emerge from deeper in the lab, carrying some ghastly looking food for her father, seeing Jack and Sunset. 

"Jack... Don't tell me you plan on using those monsters are you?"
Travis
"Exactly Sunset! Maybe even we can use that to parade them out of Halloween Town like a fiendish Pied Piper after the celebration!" 

Jack would say and take the device in hand and was about to head out when he heard Sally say something. 

"Don't worry Sally. This is be A-Okay with me, your father and Sunset on the case."
Latanya
Sunset would of been surprised by the tall and lanky woman. She was indeed impressed by the height of her.

"Yeah! If anything, I can go where the portals may show and see how one beast reacts towards me first. That way Jack doesnt get hurt by the incoming beasts!"

She smiled to Sally as Sunset was raring to get started in finding the creatures.
Sheldon
"Well, if you're sure... But I still have a bad feeling about this... We don't even know where they come from or why."
Travis
"Speaking of which, I'm sure the Graveyard as good as of place as any to start finding them. You can stay here with Dr. Finklestein Sally, me and Sunset shall go and test things out." 

Jack would say and begin to head off with Sunset towards the Graveyard in question.
Latanya
Sunset would of followed Jack towards the Graveyard while holding her Wooden Sword, all while looking at the entire town and pathways as the two were walking through.

"I got to say Jack, this place is really scary the first time i looked at it. But now i know that Halloween when it is time for it is very fun for you folks!"

Sunset complimented the entirety of Halloween Town to Jack. Once they would reach the Graveyard afterwards, she looked around for any signs of any portals appearing from a visual standpoint.

"So far i can tell this place is huge for these creatures to show... How's the radar device holding up Jack?"

She asked as Sunset would continue staring around the graveyard from close and from a far.
Travis
The two of them would arrive at the graveyard: Several pumpkins lined the ground along with an equal amount of graves. Littering the uneven land of hills. Jack would give a small nod to Sunset and the radar on the machine would reliably scan the area and begin to blink. 

"Yes, it's like we say: that's our job, but we're not mean in this town of Halloween." 

He would continue on and the radar would start to blink. 3 dark portals would appear in front of them and 3 Shadows would appear, looking around and then setting their golden eyed gaze at the two of them.
