Okay. We're off at the next stop. Then there's some climbing and car-dodging in our future.
[when they get off the train, Ronstadt turns to their companion with a rueful smile]
We gotta part ways here, bud. I'm goin' the other way. But you head about two blocks down that street and you'll find my main man Kneeslapper. Tell him Ronstadt sent you. He'll make sure you're taken care of.
[the spirit lays a clammy, damp hand on Ronstadt's shoulder, leaving behind a smear of seaweed-scented ectoplasm, and shuffles off toward other parts of the coil. Ronstadt breathes a heavy sigh at the state of his shirt, but turns and starts leading Loki down the road without another moment's pause]
Place we're headed is a haunted building. Got torn down decades ago, but every night it reappears for a few hours in the spot where it used to be. Which is ... right over that freeway. [he points to a spot on an elevated freeway a few blocks ahead.] So we gotta be ready to haul ass to the median. And that's not the only problem. There's a pretty rare, nasty customer living in its basement, so I really hope your realm crack isn't there.
