- Okay, pretty basic: The 'creature' you thought was a ghost comes out without makeup on, and it's just Old Mr. Brown. What do you say?
Adrien points dramatically. "Ah-ha! I knew you were a fake! Scooby-Doo taught me that the real monsters are humans, and if that isn't deep I don't know what is!" (A bunch of random people suddenly start repeating this dozens of times for some reason until someone starts waving around a cardboard letter J and they all leave.)
"... anyway, just like Hawk Moth, it turns out the real villain here is just some human who wants human things! And the solution is equally human! My father's preparing to file civil suit against you for what you've done here! ... I'd do it myself but I'm still a minor, the lawyers won't let me..."
Adrien is expecting this to be understood as all part of the acting. Hopefully the other actors catch on.
- Ruh Roh! You run into another group of ghost hunters, who look prepared to take you down! What's your line?
Adrien twirls around a broom handle he picked up somewhere. "If you're not willing to work together, how are you ever gonna catch a ghost? Even if he is actually just an old dude in disguise trying to gaslight the local tourism board?" He seems quite adept with his improvised staff. Must've picked something up when playing Cat Noir in the western, which is definitely the only time he would ever have been Cat Noir in any context.
"And if you can't beat an old dude in a mask, how are you ever gonna beat me?"
- This time, it's what looks to be a real ghost! Maybe you can talk it into being friendly?
Adrien's broomstaff swooces right through the ghost like it's a ghost. Probably because it's a ghost. He looks completely discombobulated at this... for about five seconds. Then he goes starry-eyed. "Wow, a real ghost! This is a scientific breakthrough, Ms Mendeleiev will love this! How did you manage to stick around after you died? Do you have unfinished business? Is there anything you can't do now as a ghost I could help you with? Do you want to move on or do you like hanging around like this?" He stops suddenly. "You can probably get akumatized, can't you? Has that happened, have you been around since a previous Butterfly wielder? Is there anything you'd like to tell people about the past?"
It seems Adrien is taking the "all people are a little egotistical and love to talk about themself" approach here and asking the ghost lots of questions about its life. And death.
