The ghost goes digital...

OOC: Sorry, I haven't posted recently, been busy behind the scenes
with several things, including coming down with an annoying
Flu/Cold/whatever which left me pretty absolutely exhausted for most
of the earlier part of this week.
But that stuff aside, I'd like to take a moment here first to
congratulate Elwood AND Cerebrum for winning Marchs SOTM award.
Bravo!
And second, to welcome our two newest players to the Blue Dwarf -
John 'Wall Eyes' Keats, and 'Usually Stable' Jack. I hope both of
find playing with the rest of us as exciting and entertaining as I
do. Oh and, 'May the midget not get either of you'. ;)
- White Wolf
BIC:
====
Who: Captain White Wolf the Deceased, and one of his inanimate fellow
friends.
Where: Someplace drifting in space trapped with Holly.
When: Did I forget to mention, I've TRAPPED WITH HOLLY FOR WAY TOO
LONG?!?
<Snip'eth>
"Is this one of those wierd Norse mythological questions?" Asked
Holly.
"Huh? What's Mythology got to do with this?" asked the hamster while
frowning a little.
Holly shrugged, "You know, the questions that big god of weather
what's-his-name keeps asking."
The Hamster frowned even more and inquired "You mean THOR?"
"Yeah, that's the bloke. Your question was a Re-THOR-hical question
right?" asked Holly.
"That's Rhetorical, you stupid smegging gimboid! I don't know why I'm
bothering to save you..." shouted the burly hamster as the Blue Dwarf
crashed into the hymenopteran ship, and the structurally reinforced
central computer area violently shook as it was pushed through
several decks of lesser strength rooms, before being finall shoot out
into space almost opposite of the starbug that contained Elwood,
Timmy, WD-40 and the Keto Brain Bot.
"That's another one of those question's, Ain't it?" Said Holly
simply, as the commodious hamster bounced around the tumbling central
computer cores room like a out of control ping pong ball.
<end snip'eth>
The now furry 'blob like' thing finally came to rest upon the floor
and lamented, "Oh please God, don't tell me this is how I'm going to
spend my eternity..."
"Okay mate, I won't." Replied Holly from the cracked screen.
"Your cracked." Said the tribble like form on the floor while
jiggling.
"No, I'm not. I'm ferfectly flane." Returned Holly.
"Yes, you are sane. But your also a miniscule Iq'ed corrupted AI
thats slurring his S's, and can't figure out that I'm refering to his
current state of disrepair!" retorted the small ungulating object in
annoyance.
"I don't have to take that kind of a poor insult to my intelligence
from a fragged person that looks like star trek stuffed toy reject."
came back Holly frowning down at the small form below him.
"Oh, just shut up and try to get in touch with the star bug the
Droids were on. I want to see if their alright." Replied White Wolf
while slowly sprouting a paw.
<tageth Snip with some Itsy bitsy additions>
Those who had eyes rolled them at this point - but then a beeping
sound from the cockpit interrupted the unofficial actors, and the
trio plus 20% went to reply. Holly's balding face greeted them as KBB
flicked the communication system on.
"Alright dudes..." he said with a grin; "How's it hanging?"
"Well..." Timmy said; "KBB needs his jar-fluid changing, Elwood is
sulking, WD is worried about White Wolf, and I'm just peachy... how
are you?"
"Oh you don't need to fret about the Captain... he's here"
"Really?!" WD-40 said, dropping Elwood and barging into the
frame; "Is he okay? Can I see him?"
White Wolf saw WD-40 on the Vidscreen where he was and attempted to
wave his vestigal arm a bit and said, "Hi! Um, can they see me,
through you?"
There was a pause as Holly considered the questions.
"Yes, 'ish, and no... in that order" the AI replied.
"'ish?"
"Yes and no?" replied the highly compressed hamster waving two
vestigal arms about now.
"Yeah... 'ish. It's fair to say that he's not too well right now"
"What's the matter with him?" Timmy asked, squeezing in next to WD.
"He's dead"
"DEAD?!"
"Yes"
"What... White Wolf?"
"Yes"
"White Wolf's dead?"
"Yes"
"The Captain of the recently deceased Blue Dwarf... is deceased
himself?"
"Yup... and he says 'hi' by the way"
<end tag'thed Snip>
"No, they can't see you right now. But Yes, they could see you
through me if I had a fluoride
camera." replied the disembodied head.
"Fluoride camera?!? I've never heard of such a thing." Said the furry
ball from the floor while gaining a pair of feet. (okay, back paws).
"It's a camera which photographs flora."
"A 'Flora' camera? Any camera can take pictures of plants. I think
you mean something else, Holly."
"no, I'm sure I remember this fluoride camera showing a fellow named
Actah Plazic..." Replied a confused looking holly.
"Actah? Holly, Are you sure you don't mean ectoplasmic and
fluorescence?" Replied the four pawed tribble growing whiskers.
"Well, maybe the names were Hector and florence..." Said Holly
frowning again.
"As much as I hate to say it, I think you've got the right idea."
Said the small furry form, sprouting a small nose and big eyes, and
looking like some really strange tailless rat.
"About Hector and florence?"
"No! About using a fluorescent camera to reveal my ectoplasm so the
crew can see me through you."
"Do you happen to have one on you?"
"Of course not, you goit! And If I had, how the smeg would I hook it
up anyhow?"
"Well, you could get yourself back into shape..."
"What do think I've been doing the last 10 minutes? Mental
gymnastics?" Snapped the strange rat shape pulling on his ears, and
started to look vaguely like a Mickey mouse from the rough side of
town.
"Okay, then maybe they'll see you if I turned off all the lights so
you'd glow in in the dark."
"How the smeg am I gonna glow in the dark?" Demanded the Mickey mouse
shape finally morphing into a six foot, one inch hamster with over
large ears.
"You'll glow because of the blacklight."
"What blacklight?!? I don't see any blacklights around here." Replied
White Wolf while looking around and trying to smush his ears into
proper shape.
"From the darkness."
"Holly, Darkness is not black light, but the absence of white light.
But I can see where you could make that logical mistake. Oh god, I
can't believe I just said that...." Said the Huge hamster slapping
his forehead.
Then there was a heavy jolt accompanied by a loud scraping sound.
"What the smeg was that?!?" called the gigantic hamster with his head
stuck through holly's screen, "And what are these Britney Spears
posters doing in here, too?"
"I think we collided with something."
"Well, since your connected into all the starbugs & blue midgets
can't you see what we ran into?" Said the supersized hamster, while
placing his paws against Holly's forehead and pushing in an attempt
to pull his head from out of the screen.
"It's a little difficult with with your head in the way and this Wolf
359 look that's going on."
"That's enough star trek crap, Holly." yelled the rotund hamster as
he was having difficulty yanking his head out with his paws slowly
slipping, the one of his translucent paws slipped through the screen
and touched a nearby computer circuit.
"YEOW!" screamed out White Wolf in surprise as he started to suddenly
get sucked in. He Furtively fought the mysterious vortex for several
seconds, and then with loud "THAWP" he disappeared.
"Captain?" inquired Holly trying in vain to look off the edges of his
screen searching for the missing hamster.
"Woah... This place is kinda cool! I wish old posh Seymour could see
this silver river." Said the disembodied hamsters voice emanating
from inside Holly console.
"Where do you see a river inside me?" Called Holly breifly turning
around and showing the back of his head on the screen, "I don't see
anything..."
"It's Right over by this muddy puddle and some blacken and burned
bushes. Umm, wait a moment, theres a business card right by the
bushes. Just let me go over and find out what it says." replied the
disembodied hamsters voice, "It's says 'cerebrums private internet
files'."
"You must have gotten inside my data banks." said Holly peering off
the top of his screen.
"Well that explains why there was a vacuum..."
"What?"
"Nevermind, Holly. If this is your data banks, then this silver river
here must be some representation of that communication pathways to
various ships systems. But, I wonder what this muddy puddle
represents? Just a second, I'll reach in and see." Suddenly a huge
hamster paw appeared from the top of hollys screen and carefully felt
the top of holly's head, "Hmm... feels like some sort of slimy rock
in there."
"That's my head your feeling up, mate." Said holly as the paws
continued feeling around and covered his face, and nearly poked his
eye with a claw.
"Eww!" suddenly went the disembodied voice, as the large hamster paw
quickly withdrew from the screen, "That's absolutely disgusting..."
"How do think I feel? I've just had me face pawed..."
"Sorry about that." Said the disembodied Captains voice, "As much as
I hate to think about it, I think I'm have to stick my head in this
muddy puddle to find out if I can see out of the screen like you do."
There was a pause. "Here I come!"
Suddenly a large hamster head appeared from the top of the screen and
jostled for space with Holly head.
"Oy, there ain't room for two of us!"
"Oh quit your complaining..." Remarked the upside down hamster head
to Holly to next him, "I'm only going to be in here for a moment."
The hamster head slowly turned 360 degrees as he commented "Hey, I
*can* see outside - But, It's like some weird multi-security camera
view. How do you go from one to the other, Hol?"
"I Dunno, I just go into the one I want to go to."
"Right... I guess I'll have to try it myself. Could you move over
please?" Said the now digital hamster who was climbing into the
screen from the top and crowding out Holly.
"This is one of things I though an AI with IQ 6,000 would have to put
with..." Muttered Holly as White Wolf's backside slowly pressed his
face up against the screen.
"Hey, I think I see Dean & Alota over here!"
"Yes, their on the medi-Starbug." replied the muffled voice of Holly.
"HE STUCK MY BODY IN FREEZER?!? DOESN'T DEAN HAVE ANY RESPECT FOR HIS
DEAD CAPTAIN?" Bellowed the outraged hamster as he attempted to get
their attention as he squirmed towards the screen, and his elbow
poked into one showing a cartoon.
"Well, it's at least as much as your average popsicle..." remarked
the muffled sounding Holly as the humongous hamster suddenly fell
into the screen with the cartoon with a 'thwop'.
The hamster flailed wildly as he fell from the sky and cast a shadow
over Jay/Bender just as Eve/Jessica Rabbit finished saying "Why did
you say that in capitals?"
And split second after Jay/Bender replied "Shut up and think..."
White Wolf hit him and embedded them both in a hamster/bender shapped
cartoon crator.
"Good god, I didn't realise that it hurt that much when then they did
that. And you know, It would sort of figure that I'd be the only
ghost that died as a cartoon..." Said White Wolf from inside the
crator.
