"Jack you gotta get up, we don't have any time!" Eddy yelled.
"Jack you hear me, you-"

You shot up out of bed, sitting up straight. No matter how many times you had the same nightmare, you'd never really got used to it
I'm not there anymore. You reminded yourself.
I'm here. I'm safe.
Max was already standing near your bedside, sensing your distress. He whined and licked your hand eagerly. You gave him a scratch behind the ears, grateful for his presence. The large German Shepherd always managed to lift your spirits.
You took a deep breath, as you tried to settle your racing thoughts.
I came here for a reason. Just gotta stay focused on that and stop thinking about the bullshit.
That's right. Today was your first day in Ravenwood since you moved in. The small condo wasn't anything special but for a low-maintenance person like you, it got the job done. The stories about the mysterious disappearances of civilians in Ravenwood were enough to draw you here. The other rumors about cults and paranormal activity were just icing on the cake.
The skeptics would say the claims of ghosts and paranormal activity were folktales and nothing to be taken seriously.
You knew from first-hand experience that there were few things you should take more seriously.
As you got out of bed, and headed to the bathroom you glanced at Max, who was staring at you intently, as if trying to tell you something.
"What's up, boy?" You asked him. He barked once as in response. You chuckled and patted his head.
"Yeah, I know. We've got work to do."
Speaking of work, who are you working for?
[]The Society of Occult Research (SOR)
A society of scholars, researchers, and occultists who dedicate their lives to uncovering the mysteries of the supernatural. They are well-funded, well-connected, and have a wealth of knowledge at their disposal.
++ The SOR has access to a vast library of occult knowledge and has connections in the supernatural community that could prove useful in future missions. They are also well-funded and can provide their employees with top-of-the-line equipment and resources.
-- The SOR can be secretive and has a reputation for being somewhat elitist. They are also known to keep their employees on a tight leash, which can be frustrating for those who prefer to work independently.
[]The Department of Paranormal Defense (DPD)
A government agency that specializes in paranormal defense. They have access to advanced technology and resources that are not available to the public.
++ The DPD has access to advanced technology and resources that could prove invaluable in fighting supernatural threats. They also have a vast network of contacts and a decent amount of information at their disposal.
-- The DPD can be bureaucratic and always prioritizes the interests of the government over the well-being of its employees. They also have a reputation for being somewhat heavy-handed in their methods.
[]The Order of the Silver Star (OSS)
A secret organization dedicated to protecting society from supernatural threats. They have a long and storied history, dating back centuries. The Order is known for its strict code of ethics and its willingness to do whatever it takes to protect humanity.
++ The Order of the Silver Star is a highly skilled and well-equipped organization with a long history of dealing with supernatural threats. They have a strict code of ethics and are dedicated to protecting humanity at all costs.
-- The Order is secretive and may be difficult to work with. They may also have their own agenda and priorities that may not align with the needs of the people of Ravenwood.
[]The Paranormal Seeker Society (PSS)
This local group of ghost hunters takes a more laid-back approach to investigating the supernatural. They believe that the best way to capture evidence of ghosts and other paranormal activity is to approach the investigation with an open mind and a sense of curiosity. They don't rely on high-tech gadgets or equipment but instead rely on their intuition and their ability to connect with spirits.
++ The society has a lot of experience with supernatural investigations, and they have a fair amount of connections in the community. The relaxed and non-judgmental atmosphere of the group helps keep its members happy.
-- Don't have access to a lot of the high-tech equipment or technology that some of the other groups may have. Some of the members can be a bit wild, making them difficult to work with.
[]Freelancer
Going solo and taking ghost-hunting jobs as a freelancer is also an option.
++This option would give you complete control over your work and allow you to set your own rules.
--You would have to find your own clients, which could be difficult in a competitive market. You may struggle to build a reputation for yourself without the backing of a well-known organization. You also don't have the same connections that a larger organization may have.
