Wisp House

   Jack entered the old, abandoned mansion carefully.  Although he had been there many times earlier in the day, it was always a little scary, despite it being well-lit by the daytime sun.  He was here because he hadn't wanted to go to the outdoor church presided over by that stern matron.  He had left in the middle of the service after being frustrated by his lack of proper attire.  He'd also left Gunther there, since Gunther was dressed correctly and seemed to have no desire to leave.

   He turned to the others in his party and said, "Go up to the second level, we'll meet at that door, over there."

   "But, which door, I don't-"

   "That door, that door!" pointed Jack in frustration.  These people obviously weren't as familiar with the layout of the mansion as he, though this was not enough for Jack to extend his patience with them.

   Jack began sucking up angry wisps with his suck gun.  If he didn't get enough, there wouldn't be enough power later.  He found himself in a large ballroom and saw people he knew, but he didn't have time to talk; he needed to deal with the wisps.
