Mitsuko nodded slightly in response to the questions that were posed, turning her head to face Makoto first as she prepared an answer. Did the girl have some sort of experience with a ghost in the past, perhaps of a friend or family member? The wording of her question and pause in her sentence seemed to at least indicate that there was some concern over the state ghosts were in, but this might have just as easily been a standard empathy. 

"Well, the means by which a ghost ceases to be depends on how they became a ghost." Mitsuko explained curtly. "For instance, if the soul is anchored to a physical location, damaging that location should result in the soul fading away. Alternatively, there are sources of...'spiritual damage', which can be seen as methods to 'kill' a ghost with. For your specific situation, where a soul has persisted by anchoring itself to a purpose, we can't actually be sure if that's something that can occur, or if it's just a part of legend. That said, I would imagine that if the purpose is fulfilled, the anchor would cease to exist, and the soul would appropriately dissipate; of course, that's just my conjecture."

Following this, the eccentric turned her head to look over Seiko and Yurika, a coy smile playing across her expression as she nodded in agreement. "Of course. This isn't an Occult Discussion Club, after all, it is an Occult Club. To that end, we will be interacting with spiritual entities rather regularly." She explained, fishing a smartphone out from her pocket in addition to...something that looked like a phone attachment. Someone with the appropriate knowledge would recognize it as an air pressure sensor that could be plugged into a phone. Something off, though, was that the end of the sensor seemed to have had a strange piece of wood duct-taped to the end. 

Well, it looked like the eccentricies were shining through now. 

Plugging the sensor into her phone, and seeming to mess around on it for a bit, Mitsuko nodded to herself before putting the phone and sensor away. 

"Perfect. Now, this is the topic of the Halloween Extravaganza. Put simply, it is a 'nighttime ghost hunt' at this school. The faculty's given us permission to come by the school at night, and given me access to it after I explained the purpose of the activity. For those interested, I will be handing out waivers that your legal guardian will need to sign off on."

"Appraisal-san's been picking up coalescions of spiritual force and, while I won't bore you with the details, the sum of the matter is that it's estimated that, on Saturday night, the gathered spiritual force will be enough for a spirit in this school that I've been monitoring for a while to have minor physical interference capacity. Basically, at that time it will become physically observable, though it won't be able to interfere on a material level." Mitsuko stated, her expression smoothing over with a level of self-assuredness. "The Halloween Extravaganza is where we will enter the school to non-violently observe and converse with said ghost. I believe it should be a suitable hands-on experience and introduction to the occult for all of you. For those of you who plan on coming simply to 'disprove' ghosts, you're of course welcome to attend as well, and bring all of the tools you need to test this matter until you're satisfied. Depending on how the Halloween Extravaganza goes, as well as how future spiritual force coalescions come about, we may make these nighttime excursions into a more regular thing, which I would certainly like. With that said, unless a ghost is hostile, we will not take violent measures against it; I have an assortment of items that can cause spiritual damage, but would rather not use them unless needed."

"Does that satisfy your questions?"
