[Open]
Who: [Sharon and you? Open]
Where: [Any sleeping carriage]
When: [The Month of Horseshoe, after the Voidstorm]
What: [Sharon is getting around to chores! And also wants to see what she can discover in people's bedrooms.]
Warnings: [Snooping and maybe thievery? It is Vermouth, so trouble is plausible. Will update if need be.]
The dust may have metaphorically settled on the odd visions everyone saw, but there is still certainly a lot of mess around the train. Vermouth normally wouldn't bother with such things, given her status as an actress and the Boss's favorite. However, it occurred to her that going through with Orange Team's chores this time might offer some unique bonuses.
1. Helping out around the train might make the other passengers trust her more.
2. Cleaning bedrooms would be a rare chance to check for intel on said fellow passengers. Perhaps nothing blackmail worthy, but it'd be at least a start.
And so, random folks around the train will hear a knock on their sleeper door. If they bother to open it, they will find Sharon standing there, looking as attractive as ever (or as attractive as one can in an orange polo and hoodie)... but with a bucket of cleaning supplies.
"Hello there. Is this a good time?"

Vermouth gives a cursory look at his belongings for potential hints, then starts trying a few likely possibilities.

If Vermouth knew more about him, she'd probably guess on her first try. As it is, she still makes quick work of the password, logging into the computer.
Since she hasn't gotten herself any data storage devices, she opts to skim over the contents instead. Let's see what this kid has.
no subject
And hidden below all that a folder simply labeled "Ghost Files".
no subject
With very little to glean from the desktop, she clicks on the folder.

Vermouth picks the enemies folder.
no subject
*Skulker
*Technus
*Ember
*The Lunch Lady
*Vortex
*Undergrowth
*Pariah Dark
*Nocturne
*Walker
*Red Huntress
*Guys in White
*Amorpho
*Spectra
no subject
Scanning over the odd names (Codenames?), Vermouth doesn't recognize any of them from the train. Curious, she clicks on the Guys in White.
no subject
Goal: To bring me in for lots and lots of painful experiments. Because apparently thats legal. Also being a level 7 ghost running around without any kind of supervision annoys them. Note to self, find out what they mean when they call me a Level 7 ghost.
Strengths: Lots of funding. I don't know where they get their tech, but its super annoying. And their aim is getting better. Also they never seem to run out of agents.
Weaknesses: Kick the agents into the mud. They will immediately abandon pursuit to find a dry cleaner for their white suits. Apparently that's an actual regulation.
I have no icons that would match this thread
Has he run into an alternative universe version of the Organization? The funding and tech would fit, but obviously the whole 'ghost' thing is strange. Is the boy an aspiring fiction writer?
Even with the oddness, the questions merited a little more looking. Returning to the folder, she clicks on Red Huntress.
lol, Vermouth needs one of those dot eyes reactions that everyone else gets
Goals: To eliminate all ghosts,especially me. Also pretty sure she broke up with me to save me from me, which is just super awkward.
Strengths: That new power armor she got from Technus is really annoying to deal with. I mean, anti-ghost guns, tasers, forcefields and a hoverboard that can keep up with me? Also she's super stubborn and never listens. Is that a strength or a weakness?
Weaknesses:
She doesn't know my real identity, so its still easy to throw her off my trail by transforming into my human self.
Notes:
*Still doing Vlad's dirty work, but doesn't seem to know his identity. I still don't get how anyone can look at that fruitloop and think he's a good guy.
*Still hates Danny Phantom, but agreed to help me save Danielle once I told her she was part human too.
*Note to self, don't get caught next time. Being electrocuted for information hurts.
The trouble with being the menacing type
While she recognizes Technus from the list, Vermouth things she can gather enough from that snippet. Rather, she goes back and scans the list for a 'Vlad.'
lol
Name: Vlad Masters
Other Names: Vlad Plasmius. Fruitloop. Cheeseheard. That jerk who really needs to find some better hobbies.
Goals:
1. To kill my Dad.
2. To marry, or at least date my Mom.
3. To buy the Green Bay Packers.
4. To have me as his perfect half-ghost son/evil apprentice.
5. Since I've made it very clear that's never happening, he's decided having a clone of me works just as well.
6. To ignore my sister.
7. Maybe to be king of the Ghost Zone? Idk, those things with Pariah and the infinite realms were just weird.
Strengths:
Ugh, where to even start. He's basically me with twenty more years of experience. And he just loves to rub that in.
Duplication. He likes to make a duplicate to sneak up on people and shoot them in the back. Watch out for that.
His tech. I don't know where he gets this stuff. But making a note to watch out for his next version of the Plasmius Maximus. Getting my powers shorted out hurts.
Weaknesses:
Idk, I've never beat him straight out. Blackmail usually works, if I can figure out an angle. Anti-ghost stuff works on him as well as it works on me.
Notes:
*Last I checked, Skulker was still working for him.
*He's still got Val completely fooled. She thinks she works for Vlad Masters. But at least I can say for certain now that she won'r work for Vlad Plasmius.
*Known residences. Castle in Wisconsin with secret lab underneath it. Hunting cabin in Colorado with secret cloning lab. What's left of it, anyway. His mansion in Amity Park. Again, confirmed secret lab underneath it.

While not quite sure what to make it all, she feels like she's gotten enough to flesh to out what this folder is about. Plus, there's been some juicy details here and there. Whether they'd be useful or just some fantasy to tease him about when he least expects it... well, only time would tell.
So she leaves this folder and decides to risk checking one last thing: the map. Perhaps it will help discern if the boy's just making all this up.
no subject
Skulker's Island. Nightmare jungle. "AVOID".
Walker's Prison "AVOID"
The Far Frozen. "They're cool."
The Medieval Realm. "Check in to see how Dora's doing."
no subject
Not willing to risk questioning, Vermouth closes the file and logs off the laptop, gently closing the lid to its original position. Picking up the duster, she starts tackling corners of the room. Very diligent, very inconspicuous.
However, she's still wearing the latex gloves.
no subject
Well, actually he starts walking through the closed door, belatedly remembered that this sometimes freaked people out, backs up, and re-enters using the door like a human.
He kind of hoped no one noticed.
I really do need those dot eyes
...Then proceeds to stare at the wall, processing it. What. on. Earth. did she just witness???
Should she ask? Should she even acknowledge it at all?? As she hears the door click, Vermouth's mind is made up: just act natural.
"Welcome back," she says cheerfully, turning around to face him. "Did you get the water?"
Nooooo, she didn't see anything. Nothing at all.
Re: I really do need those dot eyes
"Yep. I totally got the water with no problems whatsoever."
And he definitely did not forget to use the door. Again.
should we start wrapping up?
"Wonderful. You can set it down there, and I'll start on the baseboard."
She's clearly been working very hard on this cleaning business, yes yes.
Sounds good!
"So... you need any help?"
Assuming it's non-literal hovering, but laughing at the mental image
"But thank you for offering."
