Apologies, allow us to explain.

"Hello again, Desiree and Oscar Knox!" The voice of the cheesy game show host that was the announcer of the building spoke forth once more from the hidden speakers in the room, causing both you and Desiree to freeze as both of you searched for the source of the announcer's voice. Only to find nothing for your efforts.

"We here at Cupid's wishes would like to deeply apologize for what has occurred to you and your new beautiful home. As thanks to an unforeseen issue with your contracts, your home was sent into a world that was an active danger zone." The Announcer proclaimed with actual sincerity bleeding out from his usually overly comical voice. All the same, you couldn't help but hear Desiree snort, causing you to look at the genie ghost as she a flat glare aimed at the ceiling of the room. Having completely given up on trying to find the source of the announcer's voice. Instead opting to simply stare at the ceiling in anger as she lets out a few choice words of her own.

"No, Kidding..." Desiree snarks to the announcer, who in turn shows no care for her hostility, unsurprising given he's just an automated voice in the walls of this massive hotel.

"As a result of this error in the system, the automated systems of your home, the Last Resort Hotel, was **** to undertake an emergency jump ahead of its standard scheduled 2-week recharge period. Forcing the Last Resort Hotel to tap into its emergency energy stores to teleport you and your home to the home dimension of the lucky bride, Desiree." The Announcer continued with his explanation, surprising you that such a system even existed in the first place.

That said the name of your home wasn't exactly the greatest in the world, after all, The Last Resort is one helluva red flag in any book when it comes to naming conventions. Then again, you were married to a ghost via a dating app turned wedding system as a "Last Resort" on your part. So you don't have a leg to stand on really.

"That said, as a result of this emergency jump, your new home will be **** to stay in this world, the world of the bride, for the next month as the Home's energy storage begins to refill the drained power that was needed to perform the emergency jump in the first place. For this and for the damages both physical and mental, we apologize deeply to the two of you." The Announcer proclaimed with actual sadness in his voice. Huh, that's a new one, though it doesn't seem to sway Desiree as she floats next to you, not saying a single word.

However, her body language is enough to tell you everything that you need to know about how she feels about this apology. As with crossed arms, a deep frown, and a clenched jaw, you could see the anger and disbelief throughout her form as she did not buy the apology from Cupid's wishes one bit.

You can't exactly blame her, after all, you were thrown feet first into an unexpected combat encounter with a powerful ghost entity with Zero training and relying mainly on your meta-knowledge to carry the day. It's a miracle honestly that either of you are in one whole piece.

"Though with this said, we here at Cupid's wishes would like to make up for the damages caused by the error made on our part. As you can already see, any and all damages caused during your encounter with the hostile entity that breached the front doors of your home have been repaired. Though to truly show that we are indeed sorry for this mishap, we are giving the two of you two additional wedding gifts from our catalog alongside the two the both of you already have. The first of which we can display now with just a snap of our fingers." Proclaimed the announcer as with a snap of his fingers, both you and your ghostly bride briefly jumped in shock as the room was soon filled with ghosts of all shapes and sizes. However, unlike the wildly cartoony monstrosities used by Prime Evil or the Horrifyingly ugly ghosts of the Ghostbusters movies and games.

These ghosts were... Well far more Casper the friendly ghost in design if that meant anything, with most looking the same with some distinct differences in their clothing here and there. With each of them wearing outfits upon their cartoony forms that looked more akin to that of a rich grand hotel staff, with there being a few bellhops, maids, servants, and even chefs mixed all together to just name a few.

With all of the ghosts lined up in front of both the shocked and surprised forms of Desiree and yourself. As they all in unison gave a deep bow as the Announcer introduced them to you and your ghostly bride.

"Say hello to your new Ghostly staff! They will aid the two of you in the upkeep of your home and should you decide it, aid you in running the Last Resort as a fully functioning hotel. With all of them having human disguises to blend in amongst the living and are loyal to a fault. Now if you have any concerns about having to pay them, do not worry, they require no pay, drink, sleep, or even food to perform their duties." This is certainly a surprise one that makes you stop and think for a moment, as a rather chilling and concerning thought enters your mind as you raise a single finger to pose a question!

"Also, if you have any concerns that these staff members that are created from the souls of living human beings, allow us to remove those thoughts right now. The Staff is made of pure raw Ectoplasm, pulled straight from the world of the dead and then forged into the emotionless beings you see in front of you. With each completely devoid of anything that resembles a personality outside their created parameters. A book detailing the process has been placed with your other gifts in your suite to show this if you do not believe us." The announcer said in a surprising moment of seriousness, which made you lower your finger and shut your mouth. You were uncertain at how truthful he was actually being and you most certainly going to double-check when you had the chance to see if Cupid's Wishes was telling the truth, better safe than sorry when it comes to the supernatural after all.

After this declaration, however, the ghostly staff faded from view before disappearing, and after both, you and Desiree swiveled your heads around you quickly saw that one of them had stayed behind and was currently manning the front desk of the lobby. It appears that the ghostly staff have begun their duties in the hotel.

"Now there is the matter of the second gift and we personally would like you to discover it on your own. It can be found on the first level of the parking deck in the sub-basement of the Last Resort. We promise the both of you, you will enjoy what you find downstairs!" The Announcer explained with his hammy voice returning back to its normal levels making you and your ghostly bride roll your eyes at the message. With you even letting out a heavy sigh of disbelief at the action as the Announcer finished his message to the two of you.

"Once again, we at Cupid's Wishes would like to once again apologize deeply for this screw-up and hope and wish the two of you a happy marriage and a very bright future together! With that said, Au Revoir you happy couple!"

With that, the Announcer went completely silent once more. Leaving both you and Desiree in the mostly silent lobby, with nothing but the sound of the clock above the front desk ticking away and the soft hum of your proton pack filling the room. As the two of you were left there, uncertain as to what either should do, as your own social awkwardness made it difficult for you to even form the words needed to break the ice.

However, as you expected of Desiree's character, she, after a minute of silence, gave a long weary sigh before trying to fly out of the hotel and more than likely back into her homeworld. Which instantly made you react to finally deal with this problem head-on as you could no longer afford to beat around the bush with her. And for all of her power, you were now a (Abliet inexperienced) Ghostbuster. More than prepped to deal with her if she tried to lash out at you for what you were about to do as you gripped your proton wand tightly in both hands as you made your move.

"Desiree, I wish you would stop." You ordered the Genie ghost, who froze in place, before unleashing a weary and rather angry sigh. With your own muscles tense as you prepped for the worst and readied yourself should you need to unleash a proton stream upon your new ghostly bride to stop her if she were to attack you.

"Sigh... As. You. Wish." The Voluptuous ghost bit out tensely as she slowly turned around to glare at you. If looks could kill, well you would certainly be one dead Ghostbuster. As the genie's eye's flashed red as they narrowed and she adopted a rather nasty snarl that crossed her pretty face in a way that did nothing to hide her disgust of you.

"Desiree, I wish you would follow me down to the Sub-Parking lot." You quickly stated to the genie ghost as you saw her hands tightened in undisguised anger. However, all the same, she complied without even uttering a word as she floated down to floor level and began to follow you as you walked quietly and silently to the elevators. Not a word was said between the two of you as the elevator opened and not a word was muttered as both man and ghost stepped into the overly gilded elevator. With nothing but the hum of your proton pack filling the small space as you selected the sub-parking 1 and the gilded doors closed with a quiet thunk before the elevator made its trip downwards.

However, mid-way to the sub-parking lot, you hit the emergency stop button on the elevator panel. With the lights turning red as you have, for the most part, figured out what to do and that is to take a leap of faith. Worst come worse, you get the crap kicked out of you, best case scenario is you cracking that icee shell Desiree has locked herself up in.

"Desiree, I wish you would not say anything and listen to what I have to say." You ordered to the ghostly woman, who says nothing and floats there in mid-air, not even facing you out of spite. As she quickly crossed her arms and obeyed your wish with her letting out a frustrated sigh of anger. With you, in turn, taking a deep breath of your own to prepare yourself mentally for what might happen next.

"Thank you, Desiree, I know you despise me. Despise the fact that I **** you into this conversation and I have no illusion in my mind that you will throttle me the second you get free from the wishes I **** you to grant." You told the ghost as she let out a chuff of amusement at your words, with you hitting the nail on the head. More than likely predicting what she is going to do to you following this conversation.

"For that... Sigh... I'm sorry." You tell the green genie with a heavy sigh that makes her turn her head off to the side. Not even wanting you to look upon her face as you turned to face the ghostly woman. With her raven black hair hiding her face from view as you press onwards.

"I'm sorry," You reiterate, "I'm sorry that you've had to live both your living life the way you have and I'm sorry that you've had to live your life of Un-**** much the same way. With many men doing that same as I am doing right now, taking advantage of you for their benefit."

Your words seem to strike a chord within Desiree as while she still will not face you, you can see that her hands have slowly begun to grip her arms more tightly. Out of rage or out of bad memories, you are uncertain but it did mean you were striking the root of the matter.

"Desiree, I know the story behind you, I know you fell in love with the Sultan many years ago. I know that the Sultan exiled you at the behest of his wife and I know you died with a broken heart filled with broken wishes. Thus leading to the powers that you now have as a ghost." You tell the genie of your meta-knowledge of her past, causing the genie's grip to tighten at your words as you brought up some rather ugly memories for the ghostly woman. This was a risk, but to reach out to a woman like her, you had to take that risk.

'However, what these stories don’t tell is the fact that the Sultan didn’t exile you, his wife did and did so behind his back. More to this, I know that after you came back to life as a ghost, you tried to find other men to love, other men to shower with your gifts. Only for them to turn their backs on you after they had gotten what they had wanted from you to instead chase women who still lived. Only adding to your heartbreak and your hatred of men in general." You continued onwards as you saw Desiree's grip now tighten to the point that her fingers now dug into her ghostly green skin and her head dipped downwards as she shook slightly at the sudden rush of terrible memories that you were digging up for her to face.

"You have been scorned, you have been cheated, and you have been used as a tool in the games of others. For that I say this again, I am truly sorry and I know that my words probably mean less than dirt to you, and I do not fault you for this." You tell the ghost earnestly as you could feel the air in the room drop a few degrees signifying the rise in anger for the ghostly genie. With it dropping further with each passing moment with you even now being able to see your own breath as the room became colder and colder.

"That said, I want to try, I want to try and give this crazy marriage a shot. I don’t know why and you more than likely think I’m insane and I probably am for even suggesting this but all the same…" You tell Desiree before doing the unthinkable and shut off your Proton Pack. With the pack's humming whir dying down as light faded from its reactor as you reholstered the proton wand in one smooth action with a thunk. As Desiree's grip on her arms loosened slightly in surprise as her head rose slightly at your sudden surprising action that came alongside your words. However, this all paled in comparison to what you did next.

"I want to try and I know that you will never listen to what I have to say and never believe in my sincerity unless I take a leap of faith to show you that I’m serious about this offer." You told Desiree as you took a slow deep breath before making the move that would either damn you or save you from the ire of the genie in front of you.

"So, Desiree, I wish to set you free by making it so that you can pick and choose which wishes you grant for now and forever."

Your words caused Desiree to whip her head around to face you as her arms dropped and her one eye not covered by her raven locks showed an expression of surprise and shock. With her jaw even dropping slightly as you held your arms out to your sides and gave the bewildered genie a shrug.

"An here we are, Me a defenseless man at the mercy of the all-powerful Wishing ghost." You tell Desiree as you look her in the eye before dropping your arms to your sides, with exception to one of them. Which you hold out for Desiree to take as you reach the other side of the rubicon you have created for yourself. As Desiree's jaw shuts tightly as she stares at your open hand in a look that was had to place, as her eye's bounced between it and your own.

"I'm willing to give it a try Desiree, If you say no, so be it. Heck, I'll help you break our bond if you so wish. But I ask you this, Will you at least give me a chance?"
