"Okay Mr.Orb we will help you if you tell us more about yourself" Your girlfriend replies
"We will?" you ask your girlfriend
"Yes, babe, only if he or she or it tells us about itself"
"Okay, first I am a he. Second I am Thomas Manheartson, I-"
"No way you cannot be the Thomas Manheartson, the inventor who brought his factory and jobs to Smallsville, making the the town into a suburban paradise" Your girlfriend says
"I am sorry young lady but why not?" The orb questions
"Thomas Manheartson died on his boat in 1992 after a drug overdose and fire" you say
"What, that bitch Veronica!" The Orb screams
"Veronica?" You question
"As you know, I was an unmarried man at the time, I dated a woman named Veronica at the time. It was May 15th, my 49th birthday, we got into a fight, turns out she was a witch and she trapped me in the orb in front of you. That's all I remember before being placed here. Before Veronica left she told me only a woman can free me from this prison. It seems she drugged me too and lit my boat on fire. Now I'm really sad I loved the S.S. Sugarbeagal!"
From what the orb was telling you two it seemed like he was telling the truth as he had a first hand account of town history. You two proceed with caution.
"So you said only a woman a can free you, does that mean you'll possess me?" Your girlfriend asks
"I am not sure on that dear, she didn't specify, seeing that my body burned as you told me, I think I would have to possess you or your touch may just restore my body I don't know sorry."
"Okay if you possess [your girlfriend's name] how long will you stay there, will you just hang there forever?"
"If I have to possess your girlfriend son, I will be in there until I find a new body to take over I promise. To sweeten the deal, I will give you both a third of my hidden assets. As you know, I had no heirs so this money should be for the taking. In the house, I have documents and a safety deposit box key for a hidden bank account. If you let me possess you dear, I can transfer the money to you and your boyfriend."
"How much are we talking?" you and your girlfriend say in unison
"Well what year is it?"
"2018" You say
"WOW, I have missed a lot, well I hid exactly $30,000,000 in 1992, so with monthly contributions of $250,000 from my patents which should still be valid, at 0.35% , compounded daily over 26 years that should be roughly"
"$108,000,000" Your girlfriend and the Orb say
"Wow that's $36,000,000 each"
"Yes young man it is, how old are you two?"
"We are both 18" Your girlfriend says
"University?" The orb asks
"In about a month" You say
"That's nice!" The orb says
"Dear, I know it will be weird having a 75 year old spirt potentially take over your body, I'll try to be as quick as possible, just to make you believe me, son, is there still a red chest in the room?
You look around
"Yes"
"Okay the code is 421, you should fine about $40,000 in cash"
You do as he says and in deed find money showing it to your girlfriend
"Okay Mr. Manheartson, I will help you"
"Splendid"
