I love the idea that each of the Mystery Skulls mess with technology in their own way, especially recording equipment.
Vivi's active use of magic interferes with microphones of all kinds just by being in the proximity.
Mystery loves to make visual illusions in front of cameras.
Lewis' presence alone can distort any image or sound recorded.
Arthur can short-circuit the devices themselves.

So late last night during movie night with some friends, I fell asleep during Jurassic Park and woke up to them watching an animation of Velma meets Remake Velma.
Yeah, just in time to see what I can only describe as SonicEXE Creepypasta Scooby Doo.
It talks like a man, it stands like a man, it has trapped increasingly smaller pieces of the Gang's souls in an endless cycle of hell in a sad attempt to preserve the delight and wonder of their first existence together.
Me being me, I dreamed Horror Monster Scooby meeting Mystery from Mystery Skulls Animated. For obvious reasons, the two supernatural animals fought.
Mystery is kind of his polar opposite: it walks like a dog, moves like a dog, as far as we can tell doesn't speak. But he cares so much about those he has grown attached to that he will do everything to make sure they're safe. Also his 'unleashed' form is a full fledged kitsune that still doesn't look as unnerving as Horror Monster Scooby.
I know the normal version of Scooby has been crossed over to death but imagine if it was that version.

Ember crashes the concert of a band playing many miles away from Amity Park, trying to take over. Several things happen.
A) None of the band members react to her music.
B) The woman with the blue hair rapidly and cheerily asks her questions as she’s swinging a baseball bat at her. Ember made the mistake before to think it wouldn’t connect.
C) The big guy with the pompadour is a ghost. He reminds her a bit of Skulker, but he’s actually skeletal and it creeps her out a bit. He’s also very powerful, blasts fire at her, and his powers cancel her brainwashing.
D) She tries overshadowing the blond guy. A paw swipes at her head before she can. As she whirls around from where she was slammed into a wall, any attack or retort dies on her lips as she faces a massive maw.
E) The blond guy electrocutes her. He somehow electrocutes her, pointing a screwdriver at her with his one arm!!
Ember flies off. Nobody told her that there's ghost hunters with magic out there! And that there’s a ghost with them!!

I’ve been thinking about headcanons of the Mystery Skulls going around as ghost investigators.
- They’ve rented a shack from Lance where they store specialized equipment and gear. One side is Vivi’s, one is Arthur’s, the third is their cloth rack.
The fourth, smaller side is covered behind sheets. The items there - like a portable stove, pots, etc. - belong to Lewis. The association is enough to trigger Vivi’s magic-induced amnesia about him. Neither Arthur nor the Peppers wanted to move them out so they were covered up for Vivi’s sake.
- Lewis is the best cook of the four. Vivi and Arthur can make some dishes, too, but they hate cooking while on the move. They quickly learned to plan their travel routes according to where they can get water and food, anyway.
The two of them and Mystery ate at diners and motels and bought food whenever necessary whenever they were on the go while Lewis was gone.
- They have one snack box and one cooling box, both airtight. They check in the morning and in the evening if the food is still good.
The one time ants got into the food was one time too many. And the smell...
- Emergency water bottles in the van. There never can be too many.
- In the first year, the Mystery Skulls was a test run. Vivi, the most enthustiastic, wanted to know if this could work as something she did professionally. So she had to learn first. Better start small and see the metaphorical pitfalls before committing!
In the middle of this year, the cave happened as well as the fallout. The Mystery Skulls found Lewis a few months later (at least more than six months because of Arthur’s physical recovery).
It took some more months until they could consider if they would continue. (Lewis re-integrated and they healed enough from the secrets, misunderstandings, and how they’d hurt each other.)
- They all agreed that they wanted to help people embroiled in the supernatural, no matter if they were mundane or (had become) supernatural. They understood how quickly things could go bad to worse. But also that many problems happened because of misunderstandings and lack of support.
- In the first three years that they were active - excluding the break they took after Lewis’ return - the Mystery Skulls partly subsisted on their family’s support.
So they sought additional income while they built up their reputation and solved mundane cases or mundane cases hidden by mock-supernatural scares. Think Scooby-Doo.
- Costs include: van maintenance, internet, food and drinks (Lewis’ powers help enourmously), clothes rooms when necessary (Lewis helps again), research, training in detective work, training in other specialized skills, gas, tickets for bus / train / etc., books and newspaper, ingredients for spells,
sunscreen, medicine, compensation for people they interview, special permissions like to enter places, getting Mystery licencensed as a service dog, replacement and repairs for any gear...
