Due to a large truck blocking the front door, the young paranormal investigator extraordinaire walked around the house and into the back yard.

Judgingly, he observed the house, hearing loud screams and other... inexplicable sounds coming from inside.
'Do I really want to?' He thought to himself, cringing a bit.
Giving a heave of annoyance, he collected himself before approaching the- already open- back door.
He was startled by what he saw...

It shot him a side glance, but didn't seem to give him a good look over.
"Go get Johnny!" The.... 'lady' ordered, brushing him off.

"I am Johnny," he responded, somewhat offended he wasn't recognised.
'Bet they would've recognised Johnny....' he mentally grumbled, jealous of his more well-known best friend.
Granted, he hasn't worn his hoodie that day, the weather being too hot.
Instead, he was left wearing a casual red shirt, black jeans and red sneakers. However, he still wore his tan man-purse.

'She' looked at him again.
"Ohhh, nice to meet you," 'She' smiled, moving her crowbar to her other... 'hand' to shake his hand.
Reluctantly, he grabbed it, shaking it a bit.
'Her' hand was cold and... rough.

"It- I- uhh..." he stammered, unsure and confused, "apparently, I can already see the problem...."
Standing before him was a humanoid, green velociraptor. It's stomach was a lighter green, and darker green stripes ran down it's back. Red marks were on it's snout, and it's reptilian eyes were a pale yellow. It's mangled-looking hands had three, clawed fingers, and it's feet had the inner claws upwards like a normal raptor.

"Well, no, we're not the prob-"

"Seems to be a level five, poltergeist, sort of.... transfer... mutation device..." he interrupted, looking over 'her' again.

"Nonono! That's not the problem!" 'She' assured, another raptor coming up behind her.
It was shorter than the green one, and was a blue-green colour- almost alike to turquoise. It- too- had a lighter belly and darker stripes on it's back; along with pale yellow eyes. However, it's head had yellow-green stripes from above it's eyes to the tip of it's snout, along with a couple stripes on it's 'knees'.

"What?" Ghost asked, the shorter raptor trying to talk over the green one, thus causing Johnny to not get any of it.

"The problem is we have some sort of poltergeist," The green one explained, sounding rather calm for someone who was turned into a dinosaur, "we're not the problem."

"I can see that. You have a tail," Ghost rolled his eyes, becoming impatient with this moronic reptile.

"Uh, yeah, that's just what I look like now," she replied rather nonchalantly, "d'ya like it?"

"So, you're telling me you have a problem on top of this?" Ghost questioned in disbelief, the blue one trying to talk over him.

The green one gave a nod and a, "uh-huh. Yeah, we have a-"

"Oh!" Ghost interjected again, seeing the entity float towards him....
