"Shoo! Go 'way, buzz off. And take your spookiness with you!"

There's a skinny kid standing behind a rickety card table, and he's making ushering motions at a ghost that doesn't glance twice. Dennis keeps at it anyway, putting his hands on his hips when it's far enough away for his tastes. Now people walking past can see him properly.

Ok, where was he before that ghost distracted him? He looks around the street, from the strips of chains tores to the steady flow of noonday shoppers walking past him.

Oh. Right. He clears his throat a little, rearranging the spot-the-rock game on the table and its set of twelve cups.

"... Step right up, people, step right up! Test your luck with this amazing game of chance and win a stupendous prize! That's right, one hundred dollars! Get a chance to earn one hundred dollars just by following which cup has the rock! You there, miss, would you care to give it a try? O-oh, uh, sorry, dude. I mean sir. Really."
