Worse Contest Ever

Ready For Them

Not everything was fun and games in the Buzzfeed's headquarters, actually there was absolutely no fun in the headquarters. Maya came to realize how "fun and easy" they made it all look in their videos, articles etcetera. The amount of work that a video took, the amount of work that a small article or even a funny quiz took. It all took away people's views of Buzzfeed's, always being poked fun at for their articles, quizzes and videos. There was a lot of hard working people, a lot of running around to meet deadlines and bring up ideas.

Maya spent two long days in meetings, orientations, and even some time with a counselor to make sure she was in good mental condition for the whole "ghoul hunting". Although that counselor meeting was more of a "Are you scared?" "Um a little?" "It's gonna be okay!" There wasn't anything really deep about it. She was treated like a regular employee, although wasn't give anything to do, just told everything they were going to do during those 4 weeks they were going to be working on their special episode.

"So... the time has come!" Announced Ryan, walking into the studio along with Shane. Maya was already there with the producers and rest of the team. In the past two days she had spent a really small amount of time with the boys, just small talk. Maya was mostly busy learning everything about the company and the show itself, all the safeties, all the procedures ... all the boring stuff. She even managed to calm herself down from her first meeting with the guys, she was more comfortable, still little hard for her to lose herself and freely talk with them and the crew.

"Maya, are you ready to find out where are we going...ghost hunting?" Shane asked, staring down at Maya who was sitting down next to Devon.

"I'm ready!" Maya surprised herself with how enthusiastic she sounded, she actually had gotten a lot more comfortable with them.

Shane and couple people on the crew started doing the sounds of drum rolls making the rest of them laugh.

"We are revisiting Waverly Hills Sanatorium!"

"The Haunted House of Waverly Hills Hospital" was Maya's favorite episode, there was something about that episode that always stuck with her and she could never figure out why. Everything about Waverly Hills fascinated Maya.

"You mentioned on your submission that it was your favorite episode," Shane commented, taking a seat between Maya and Devon. "and it's also one of our main locations to revisit in the future. It was perfect timing."

Maya was trying to contain her excitement, she didn't wanted to freak out and jump around like some kind of maniac.

"I...can't wait!" Maya exclaimed,

"It's actually our first time bring more equipment to Waverly, including the Spirit Box. Probably taking more than just a few minutes on our-" Ryan stopped talking and made a face that looked like he was trying to find the right words to say.

Shane leaned over and whispered to Maya, as if Ryan couldn't heard him. "He was wondering if you're okay with doing a solo investigation?" His voice was comically low, which made some in the studio crack up laughing.

"I'm right here. And yes, I was wondering if you were going to be okay doing a solo?" Asked Ryan.

The whole attention went to Maya, which was kind of unnerving for her. They waited for her answer, Ryan leaned on the nearest desk with his arm crossed, that position and his stared reminded Maya of a teacher that was waiting for their student to explain a math equation. Shane took her out of her train of thoughts with a loud mocking "umm!" as if he was doing the thinking for her.

"Well... sure?" She said, not completely sure of her answered."I've obviously seen the solo investigations, but...I'm not sure how to do one."

"Well, basically you go into the most active place in the building, you can pick any piece of equipment with you -"
