My, this certainly isn’t Northern Ireland anymore. It would be interesting to know how exactly one gets from there to… here, ever so instantaneously. Judging from the architecture I would guess… Russia? Or one of the nearby former states of the USSR. Interesting

So. You haven't been briefed by the Warden?

[ectoplasicious]

Warden?

No, I believe not.

[finitevus]

Allow me to welcome you to Econtra.

Econtra is in another world, an alternate reality amongst countless others. In my own world, and many others, these differing realities are called 'zones'. In this world, the planet we reside upon is called Earth, and holds, historically, commonality with other people's recollections of their own Earth, as I understand.

This Earth was invaded by creatures called Entropi, an energy based life that subsists on the energy present within biological life. That is my supposition based upon the lack of any animal life in this area. I do know they feed upon energy from secondhand reports.

Econtra itself is a compound, and this is the second one. The first was destroyed, so I'm told, when the slain Entropi raised up toxic poisons from the soil and destroyed any habitability of the previous installation. This new center of operations is sometimes referred to as Neocontra.

Shall I explain more?

[ectoplasicious]

...

You seem to be doing a good job. You may go on.

[ninja_e]

Why wouldn't you be solid?

[ectoplasicious]

I am an ectoplasmic being. In other words, I am made of a gaseous substance--not a solid one.

[ninja_e]

....you're made out of a gas?

[ectoplasicious]

Ja. Yes.

[sewing_archer]

Seems you've got most things explained to you, would you mind explaining why you seem...surprised at being solid?

You have very interesting reiatsu, sir.

[ectoplasicious]

I am an ectoplasmic being. I am made of gas.

Reistsu. Energy?

[sewing_archer]

I...I don't understand how that can be possible. Are you completely solid now or are you somewhere in between like plasma?

It's certain kind of energy that only beings with supernatural properties or powers give off. I've trained all my life to be able to sense even the slightest trace on a person.

[ectoplasicious]

Somewhere in between a solid and a plasma, actually, would be my guess. I still have a bit of the gaseous ectoplasm floating around in here... but the rest is now physical. Which is usually not the case.

I am a telepath. And, well, a spirit. Or ghost if you prefer. I do not. I do not haunt things. Mostly.

[cest_morty]

Ectoplasmic... you're a ghost?

[ectoplasicious]

More or less. I am a spirit without a body.

[cest_morty]

I see. Sorry about the reaction; I'm very interested in ghosts, especially the differences between ghosts from different worlds. My name's Morty, by the way. It's nice to meet you

[ectoplasicious]

It is fine. I am a paranormal researcher myself, so I understand the interest. I am Johann Krauss. Ein vergnügen.
