~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Virgil woke up to a loud noise in the night, knowing that it came from Roman's creations. Currently, author and inventor Roman G Wells is working on a Time Machine in a basement

Failing to get a loan for said Time Machine whilst alive from a certain Edward DeVere the 6th aka Eddie Dantes left Roman to scour for funds in the afterlife. He eventually got money from Virgil's friend, Nico Flores

Roman was already called The Father of Science Fiction in life, but the Time Machine will be his greatest invention alongside the caméras he worked on in Thomas's Attic during his party or well, Murder Mystery Invite Only Causal Dinner Party/Gala for Friends Potluck

Unfortunately he passed away by poisonous gas while inventing at said long titled event, Virgil hasn't read any of his works until they reunited in the afterlife a month after Roman died. Nico gave the inventor Time Machine funds after Mr Flores passed away by strangulation from a scarf at the same Murder Mystery Invite Only Casual Dinner Party/Gala for Friends Potluck

Back over to Virgil, he heard more noises coming from Roman's lab in their basement. He floated down the stairs due to already being a ghost back when Roman attended the Murder Mystery Invite Only Casual Dinner Party/Gala for Friends Potluck

Arriving at the basement, Virgil heard Roman say "Crumpets" to himself while working on a part for the Time Machine. Papers and Prototypes were scattered all over Roman's desk and the basement floor.

His clear-lensed goggles were over his worn out and tired Forest Green Eyes. A small object was stuck between 2 gears on the part Roman was working on, his eyes were beginning to fail him as the ghostly inventor tried to carefully take out the object using a pair of tweezers

Virgil wondered how many days Roman has been staying up in order to work on the Time Machine, nevertheless, he pulled Roman's goggles up from his eyes in order to get his attention

Roman tiredly looked around for who took him from his work for a moment, seeing Virgil

{Roman}
Virgil? W-why are you in the lab?

¥Virgil¥
Trying to get you back to bed, duh. You look not that hot right now, LensCrafters

{Roman}
But my w-work? My research? My Time Machine-

¥Virgil¥
It'll be here tomorrow, you're overworked and the best way for a genius to keep working their sciencey magic is rest

{Roman}
Sciencey M-Magic? Balderdash, my Time Machine is deeply rooted in logic and calculations

¥Virgil¥
Yet you were the one who suggested the séance back at the Murder Mystery Invite Only Casual Dinner Party/Gala for Friends Potluck, Krishanti used her séancing magic to temporarily summon the souls of the dead guests at the time of her arrival

{Roman}
Seancing isn't a word, but you helped me with the c-caméras at the same event, which requires the same logic and calculations as my Time Machine

¥Virgil¥
Fine. But you need to sleep, Goggles. Your Time Machine and your mind will thank you

{Roman}
But I'm not alive anymore, how could s-sleep help me?

¥Virgil¥
What if I told you that our radiation and infrared frequency is detected more at night since the caméras with the video display signal interpreters are recording at that hour. Your Science Magic is still happening and working then, would that convince you?

{Roman}
They're still working then? But I t-thought- Cribblesticks, you're right! Since we're not moving, both the infrared and radiation frequencies aren't moving around themselves, Virgil you're a genius!

¥Virgil¥
And on that note, I'm taking you upstairs so that the caméras can pick up our ghostly evidence

Virgil took Roman's hand, floating them to their room. Virgil pretty much dragged Roman to their bed so that ghostly author could finally sleep after inventing during the night
