"Hey, this is Dr. Peter Venkman- I'm probably busy. If you're calling about something stupid done by a Dr. Egon Spengler or a Dr. Ray Stantz, I'm sorry for whatever they did. Leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can."

[It was the 70s and 80s. Sometimes people made stupid fashion choices.]
chicken man was wild, kid. he went fucking crazy over how much he hated chickens, summoned a demon, sent all the chickens to an alternate dimension, then sent US there too when we tried to figure out what happened
then the demon he sold his soul to told us "hey im a laughingstock now among demons because of this chicken dude, please help" so we built robotic chickens to trick the chicken man into bringing the real chickens back
it was a weird day.

[Lena's a dirty millenial so there are definitely some pretty questionable fashion choices in HER generation, but that....! That's just embarrassing!]
honestly i'd feel bad for that demon too
like how do you TELL that to your demon friends
you're talkin about all the souls you collected like they're some kinda weird trading cards
and then you say "yeah and THIS is a dude that just REALLY hates chickens"
i'm surprised he didn't get kicked out of hell for that
see, now THAT'S the kind of stuff i can totally get into
not all this "let's experiment until your head blows up from psychic shock" stuff egon blabs on about
good ol stupid adventures are always a fun time
no subject
it is bad but i love him
[Venkman has taste but sometimes you have to throw that taste away because your partners think pea soup green is a good color for a tuxedo.]
the worst part is he tried to hide it but some imp ratted him out and screwed him over
like he KNEW that shit was unrecoverable
i'd say like half their experiments back home are dumb stuff like that and half are stuff like egon trying to drill a hole in his head

Please tell me you're joking. What exactly would he try to prove with that?
[It might just be Venkman exaggerating, but Lena also wouldn't doubt Egon attempting to do something stupid like that for SCIENCE!!!]
no subject
something about the spiritual side effects of trepanation and possibly implanting a metal plate to prevent unwanted psychic interference. i think. i gotta be honest kid i didnt pay much attention to his explanation i was too busy being terrified
no subject
[She's pretty sure that kind of stuff is quack science, but bringing that up to an actual scientist is probably asking for trouble, so she keeps her mouth shut for now.]
Do you, like... have to monitor what Pokemon he catches? 'Cause man, if you have to keep him away from power tools, I wouldn't trust him around half the stuff I've seen here.
no subject
not really- i mean, hes a grown adult and we cant actually die here, im not gonna mother him 24/7 if he wants to do something stupid with his pokemon that cant actually kill him or hurt someone else
but i will absolutely mock him for it afterwards
back home there was the possibility of him getting himself killed but he also knows the equipment he and ray built way better than me so i just sort of trust he usually knows what hes doing
and then have a heart attack when it turns out he doesnt. like every time we do something dangerous and life threatening and i ask him "egon how'd you come up with that" theres a 1/5 chance he just crossed his fingers and hoped we wouldnt all die when we followed his lead
shit's stressful
