Jacob smiled, happy that Tori took his strange group of peers in stride, most people would have freaked right out when confronted with these social misfits, but Tori seemed right at ease; it was probably this very fact that made him so fond of her in the first place.<br/><br/>She seemed to show a glimpse of recognition when she was introduced to Brandi and asked if they'd met before. Brandice eyed the pretty girl, cocking her head sideways and squinting through the haze of ganja smoke. She honestly didn't recognize her, but that was no surprise as most goth kids look fairly similar, individuality is not a prerequisite.   "Nah....they kicked me out....said I was to reckless with my invocations...fuck'em anyway.." She said and took another large toke off of the joint.<br/><br/>Albert stood up and introduced himself, making sure to point out the obvious as he is prone to do. "Hi, you can all me 'Fish' everybody does....You know Jakie-boy here ain't the only one with the same name as someone famous....I share the moniker with a famous killer....but there ain't no relation. " Albert said as he offered his big hand out to be shaken.<br/><br/>It was then noises from the door at her back drew their attention,"Yes!, Yes!, ooooo, that's right, right there," groans seemed to float through the air.<br/><br/>Jacob smiled and blushed, "old pipes" he said as he pounded on the wall, trying to cover for Greg and Shanna's obvious love making.<br/><br/>"Bullshit.....That's Greg and Shanna...They fund our little expeditions by making amateur porn, the gimmick is haunted house sex....Don't lie to her Jacob...she needs to know if she's gonna hang with us..." Brandi butted in and totally called Jacob on his shit.<br/><br/>"Um," Tori said to Jacob, trying to coolly accept her surroundings," so we are going to the Crenshaw mansion tonight. What kind of activity has been recorded? Any hot spot information you can share? Have you done a historical background check on it?" She asked obviously trying to break up some of the weird tension in the room.<br/><br/>Jacob turned to Tori and shrugged helplessly, "Uh yeah....I guess that's true....I guess when I told you about my inheritance I didn't mention that I'd pretty much blown through it and I used the last bit of it to purchase the deed to the Crenshaw house, You see the thing is there aren't any past investigations on this location. It's virgin territory and probably the last haunted house in America that hasn't been investigated to death.  â€¦.Right here in the very small town Iâ€™d gown up in! It was undocumented because itâ€™s been in legal limbo for the past 100 years. It was out in the middle of nowhere and current owner didnâ€™t tolerate any inquires. From the research Iâ€™ve been able to find, itâ€™s should be rife with paranormal activity judging from itâ€™s pastâ€¦.and the very best thing is that not a singular other team of paranormal investigators have ever set foot in the mansion! Itâ€™s virgin territory, ready for the taking! Can you fucking believe that?<br/>Now here is where is gets a little weirdâ€¦I have to admit, even when I found out, I was still a bit skeptical, but it couldnâ€™t have worked out better. It turns out that olâ€™man Crenshaw had actually been Randall Crenshaw, the apprentice to the notorious black magician Aliester Crowley. He and my Aunt Glenda were heavily involved in the occult and practiced some of Crowleyâ€™s darkest spells within the house. Not just thatâ€¦but that the reason that the property had been in legal status for so long was because it was actually willed to meâ€¦..Meâ€¦Jacob Dillon in ink.<br/><br/>Yes that is close to the very last of my remaining inheritance, but think about itâ€¦.I have not just a place to live, a haunted mansion out in the middle of the country, but a glorious unexplored environment for my team to really take their time and bring home the â€˜baconâ€™. We'll not be staying a nightâ€¦not stay a week, but live in this spiritually enriched environment and record the results. We will be groundbreaking in our field and better yet we will record everything that happens." Jacob finished his pitch just as the noise from the next room died down and Greg and Shanna came out from the back room.<br/><br/>"This is gonna make some serious money right here! " Greg said as he held the digital recorder up in the air." Shanna pulled out all the stops baby....Woooo! She use a cursed wooden African idol in ways I've never seen before-" Greg stopped mid-sentence when he saw Tori standing there.<br/><br/>"Geez Greg put on some fucking pants... We got company"  Brandi said and Al burst out laughing. Jacob could only cover his eyes in embarrassment, shaking his head disappointingly.
