morganizedchaos[The video starts out normally enough - Ghost is using the ICP in his cabin, and leaning forward in a way that clearly indicates that he's a bit Unhappy about something. The effect is slightly ruined, however, by the giant fluffy black cat who is currently in his lap and occasionally butts her head up into the frame to demand attention.
However, for those who haven't seen Ghost on video before, there's something interesting going on the lower half of the screen - a smartphone is held up in front of the camera, landscape orientation, mostly blocking out the cat, by some amount of telekinesis. And rather than speaking aloud, or what passes for 'aloud' for him, Ghost is just putting text onto the smartphone's screen, giving the impression of subtitles to those who are familair with them. The words appear very quickly, with a pause after each sentence to allow slower readers to catch up before the words scroll away up the screen.
Take that, lack of text posts on the ICPs. You can't stop him now.]
So. Got a bit of a favor to ask. For the new folks, hey, name's Ghost, resident weird alien hybrid speaking, nice to meet you, yes I am mute, don't make a thing out of it.
Some of you probably noticed on our 'vacation' that I was limited to kiddie pool level activities and adult supervision. Technically speaking, I'm the youngest person on the train. In every functional way, I'm thirty, but apparently that's not how the train counts things.
So if a bunch of people could drop messages on the train feedback encouraging her to reevaluate the way she decides who's an adult and who's a child before the next time we have some kind of age-restricted activity, I'd appreciate it. I don't even care about not having access to the train's booze stash, but having a bunch of resort workers descend on me like I was an actual lost child was kind of a pain in the ass.
[There's a pause, mostly because the cat reaches up to paw at Ghost's chin and distracts him. Given that he's not a big guy and she is a very large cat, the effect is fairly comical.]
Thanks, Rory, love you too.
