6 Ghosts [Voice; English]

[schrodingersghost]

Okay, seriously, can someone please explain this thing to me?  I mean, I saw a couple of very definitely dead people over the past week.  I might be a C student, but I do know that death is kind of a permanent thing.  And by permanent I mean not something you wake up and walk away from. 

So why is everyone coming back?  Is this entire city populated by zombies or ghosts or something?

.........

Oh! I get it!

[Do you believe him? He sounds so sure!]

... Wouldn't it hurt your eyes to stare at that tiny little screen for so long?

[Oh well.]

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

[.....]

They usually show it on a little bigger screen.

[jushinkan.livejournal.com]

Oh that makes more sense.

And a video game iiiiis?

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Like a movie, except you use a controller to control a character in the story.

[jushinkan.livejournal.com]

Oh!

How do they plan all that out then?

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

They program it all out before hand.

[jushinkan.livejournal.com]

[lol whut]

Oh dear, you've lost me again.

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Um, plan? Write? Draw? Kind of like all of that.

Boy, am I glad Tuck isn't here. Places with no technology are like his worst nightmare.

[jushinkan.livejournal.com]

Oh there's obviously your technology here.

Just not where I'm from~.

I thought you said it was like a movie you control. How do you draw a play that people can watch at the same time? Doesn't a play require actors?

[He... may or may not just be trying to annoy you now. Sorry, Danny]

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

These things? He'd be horrified at an entire city with no electricity and nothing more advanced than them. He could barely stand summer camp.

...Its called animation. Sorry, I don't know how it works. Just that you draw out everything on a computer before the game is finished. And that it takes thousands and thousands of computer drawings for a single game to work.

[jushinkan.livejournal.com]

It has electricity! It's just hard to find!

Animation.

Seems like a whole lot of work for entertainment alone. Did something happen to going outside? Live in an airless environment or something?

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

...You sound like a teacher.

[jushinkan.livejournal.com]

Do I? I thought I just sounded confused. Isn't it easier to go outside and run around then spend a million hours... 'programming' something?

It seems like a reasonable problem to me.

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

I suppose its something you have to try to understand. There's nothing like a little digital violence to blow off a little misplaced aggression.

And its not like we don't do plenty outside.

[jushinkan.livejournal.com]

What about real physical things? Sparring is pretty fun from what I've seen. You get plenty of aggression out hitting someone in the face with a wooden sword.

Oh?

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Hate to break it to you, but kids don't do that. Like at all.

You know, hanging out. Doing ordinary unremarkable teenage things.

[jushinkan.livejournal.com]

Oh. They do it where I'm from. A lot.

That sounds boring.

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Sounds like something the jocks would like. No thanks. Getting stuffed into my locker is more than enough fighting for me.

[jushinkan.livejournal.com]

Learn how to fight and that might happen less often.

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

But wooden swords? That's weird.

[jushinkan.livejournal.com]

Swords happen to be the weapon of choice at home.

Well, that and fireballs.

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Is your world stuck in the middle ages or something?

[jushinkan.livejournal.com]

Middle what? No, I think we're pretty modern aged, personally.

Considering that last time I checked, it was the present when I left.

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

A time period from a couple of hundred years ago in my world. Lots of knights and horses and swordfighting.

[jushinkan.livejournal.com]

Oh?

And dragons and monsters too?
