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?

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?

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Some people think so. It was a long time ago, so its tough to tell.

[And, honestly, all the dragons and stuff in the Medieval Realm had to come from somewhere.]
