Where are the burgers?

[ This is the voice of a very distressed teenager. Very distressed. ]

I get that it's the space future, but the nurse was lying when she said they don't serve meat. Right?

[ Silence. ]

... Right?

Sounds like no fun at all.

[ A person who voluntarily doesn't eat bacon? Oh the humanity. ]

Okay so do you have all the ghost powers or can you just step through walls and call it a day?

[ordinarily]

Step through walls and turn invisible. And I'm guessing possess people? I haven't tried it yet, but if I can walk through walls...

[whyarewehere]

How do you know it's ghost powers and not just regular going through stuff powers? Does it make a spooky noise or what?

[ordinarily]

I mean, I look like I'm transparent when I do it.

[deafleppard]

So here's a thought. Do your eyelids turn transparent too?

Does that mean you can't block out any images from this cruel, cruel world?

[ordinarily]

Pretty sure you're overthinking it.

Otherwise, clothes would be a problem.

[deafleppard]

But am I really, though? Have you actually turned invisible to try it?

[ordinarily]

I mean...

[ he could say yes, but then he'd be risking having to talk about how he'd DONE that before. so instead, he just sighs, and turns invisible right on camera. ]

... Yeah, I still can't see anything when I close my eyes.

[deafleppard]

Really? That's weird.

[And frankly, a little disappointing.]

[ordinarily]

I'm pretty sure I'd be more weirded out if I could see through my own eyelids.

[deafleppard]

So only the outside of your body is invisible but not your insides.

Trippy.

[ordinarily]

I'm not really sure how it works, but the guys in the medbay mentioned that I wasn't bending light around me or anything like that. So it's not like, fake invisibility. I'm changing my entire body to do it.

[deafleppard]

So kind of like... a really good chameleon?

[ordinarily]

I guess?

I'm a C student, so I'm not too broken up over not understanding it.

[deafleppard]

Maybe the C was for chameleon. Ever think about that?

[ordinarily]

... Not until now.

[deafleppard]

See? That's what I'm here for.

You're welcome.

[ordinarily]

You think I could get away with that in detention?

[deafleppard]

What could possibly go wrong?
