un: aphrodite

[wingstosee]

oh.
no problem? that just sort of happens sometimes. i guess.

so what did you do

[protegge]

I DIDNT DO IT

i mean maybe but not on purpose. i just asked the voidfish guards something and when i came back there were numbers on the wall

[wingstosee]

that's almost even worse though?
like, if you do something on purpose, you know why it's there.
now maybe it's an ancient evil or a hologram ghost telling us a riddle or something.

actually do the numbers look like they mean anything?
there might be a locked room they correspond to.
maybe. i don't know

[protegge]

yeah but my way theres no malice so i didnt do anything wrong

[That is so not how that works.]

idk theyre just 34 and 35? hold on lemme show you

[He attaches a picture.]

i dont think its a riddle but if it is its a real shitty one
i guess it could be a ghost

[wingstosee]

[ wow. that looks... almost official? like, it's a part of their screen, not. graffiti. which means- ]

that's definitely ghosts.
maybe future hologram ghosts? we had those back on the space station.
but one way or another it's 100% ghosts.

maybe.

[protegge]

oh GREAT

well then tell me ghost expert: why are there ghosts in the wall
i didnt ask for ghosts. i didnt do anything to ghosts. what the fuck

this color doesnt match any of our shit either

[wingstosee]

there were ghosts in the walls back on the terminal too
and also back in the summer scouts
maybe ghosts just like walls? i mean, that makes sense. sort of
like, when you're in bed, you know how sometimes you just want to wrap yourself in a blanket so nothing can see you?
it's probably like that. but. you know
with a wall.

does it not?
i'm not really any good with whether things match or not...

[protegge]

heres the thing: i think YOU are haunted
cuz the common denominator here of all the ghost locations is you
thus it follows that you are the haunted one case closed i did nothing wrong

yeah well im great at matching colors lucky for you and this room

[Zero of the above things are true. Do not trust.]

my question is, if its ghosts who just want to snuggle in walls, whyd they put numbers on the wall
i dont draw numbers on my blankets to make them snugglier
i dont think thats how coziness works like at all

[wingstosee]

wait I'M haunted??

wait. no. i mean.
that's SORT OF true?
like. i am the devil. so it makes sense i'd be followed around by like, lost souls or vengeful ghosts or something.
but also, i'm pretty sure the space ghosts had nothing to do with me
and maybe this place is the same too?

[protegge]

oh dude i was
i was totally joking
i dont actually think youre haunted at least not like that

haunted by the ghost of social awkwardness maybe

. . . do you really think space is just where ghosts go? thats kind of sad
its empty as fuck. theres nothing to DO

[wingstosee]

oh.
i mean. yeah. probably
if social awkwardness was a thing and it was dead i guess it probably would be following me around huh

i mean......
it sort of makes sense?
there are a lot more dead people than ghosts
so if everyone becomes a ghost maybe they just go off into space.
that seems kind of sad. but also, kind of cool?
what if you could just visit mars. i think that'd be kinda neat

[protegge]

ok you make a good point and i revise my opinion totally
being a ghost would be sick if i could visit space
you dont gotta worry about breathing so you could go underwater too, like to the bottom of the ocean

except the fish down there are
so ugly

so mars would be better

which planet is the most fun to hang on do you think

sorry i had to take the low hanging fruit

[wingstosee]

is that a real question
i mean. that seems kind of like a loaded question

god bless

[protegge]

LISTEN!!!!!!!!!

it cant be venus bc venus is just co2 and acid and death
venus is disqualified
so fuckin there PICK A DIFFERENT PLANET

[wingstosee]

yeah but
do ghosts really care?
like jupiter is constant storms and the gravity would kill a human
but a ghost...
ghosts are pretty resilient.

maybe saturn would be cool because you could see the rings though

[protegge]

if i was a ghost id still be freaked out knowing i was somewhere i could be double killed
maybe most people wouldnt but i dont think being dead would make dying any less freaky to me
especially if i was a ghost cuz then you still exist kind of, what if something ate your soul and then you just WERENT anymore

saturn would be awesome
mars would be cool but thats kind of a mainstream answer
jupiter would be cool too i bet the storms would look pretty wild from the inside

do you remember what the big eyeball lookin thing is
swarm of ghosts maybe
