Chapter+7

In chapter 7, the renovation of the Haunted Mansion was starting to get attention. Julius and Dan recruited fans of the Mansion to put them in costume and get them to interact with people interested in the Mansion's renovation. One fan in particular, Kim Wright was recruited to get into costume and work on scaffolding. Robots are being made for the mansion, but they are a little late in arriving to the Mansion.

Meanwhile, the volunteers were inviting more volunteers and they were taking the jobs away from the maintenance crew members. They are getting all the credit and the crew is losing Whuffie because the Mansion is not up and running yet.

Julius decided to go to the Hall of Presidents and destroy the technology used to make it possible. It was not permanent, but just set Debra back a day or two. Debra and Lil talked to the whole crew about Julius vandalizing the Hall of Presidents, and Debra took away the volunteers working on the Mansion until the Hall was up and running.

Quotes: "This was the plan: recruit rabid fans right away, get 'em in costume, and put 'em up on the scaffolds. Give them outsized, badadorned tools and get them to play at construction activity in thumpy, undead pantomime." (page 133)

"I wasn't doing anything permanent, I was just buying myself a day or two... For the first time in weeks, I slept like a baby." (page 149)
