[ This is the most important question he's actually asked in a while. It could be a combination of getting lost down in the ship for weeks, a bad jump. Hard to say, but he spends a decent amount of time typing this out rather than using the voice to text function. ]

[Confused and a bit concerned]

What'ya wanna get rid of a ghost for?

[lacksgrace]

Because maybe it'll stop talking and driving me crazy. [ Most logical answer. ]

[loyalpup]

You could just ask it ta go away for a bit. It's probably just lonely.

[lacksgrace]

Well, uh. I dunno. 'Cause I don't want to hurt its feelings. [ He pauses. ] They have those too, right?

Re: video

[loyalpup]

Course they do, they're people ain't they?

[He is of course offended on Alex and Annie's behalf. Speaking of...]

Maybe you can ask another ghost to tell it ta go away.

[lacksgrace]

Yeah, probably. [ He's thinking in term of what they are now, not what they'd been. ] You know any I could ask?

[loyalpup]

Alex and Annie, though Annie don't know me so she might not help, but Alex would!

[lacksgrace]

I don't think I know anyone named Annie. But which Alex are you talking about? [ Because he knows two, and one is not like the other... ]

[loyalpup]

Alex Millar. Short hair, northern, a bit angry but that might be because she's a Scot.

[lacksgrace]

A lot of dead people are. Angry, I mean. [ More importantly: ] Is that what they call ghosts where you're from?

[loyalpup]

Nah, they usually just call themselves by their name. Have you asked its name?

[lacksgrace]

I know his name. But I don't wanna make a big deal out of it.

[loyalpup]

Well, jus' ask him nice like to give ya some space. There's loads of rooms folks ain't usin' that he could use for his own.

[lacksgrace]

I guess. All of this is pretty complicated. I don't mind sharing the room, but it's just, uh, hard.

[loyalpup]

You ain't never had to share before? Used to live in a van with me Dad so I never had me own room until later. Sharing ain't so bad you just find different places to have a bit of privacy.

[lacksgrace]

It's not hard sharing. I meant most of it's kinda weird since I didn't think this was supposed to happen. You know?

[loyalpup]

Cause there ain't usually no ghosts in space?

[lacksgrace]

Or just ghosts. [ There's a pause. ] I'm pretty used to people being dead though.

[loyalpup]

Oh, well I met ghosts 'fore and they're just like us except dead and all. Just treat them like normal and it'll be alright.
