~ Two days ago ~
Voiced over while a ghost plays Game-Brick on a lounge couch, pulls out the cartridge, blows on in then shoves it back in.
"We've trained what seems a lifetime for this. Waiting."
The ghost (cheap Halloween costume style, but still translucent and glowy) bangs the side of the Game-Brick, keeps playing.
"But ever since I got here, I knew."
~ Laughs a small victory in the game.
"This was the job for me. Two million other ghosts. Just like me. We all know."
A crowded rec room, ghosts (similar cheap costumes) lounging and floating through walls with coffee and snacks.
"But then after a lifetime waiting, you start to wonder ... will that day ever come ? And ... should it ?"
The red alarm goes off on the wall, ghosts freeze and drop coffee ...
"! Yes !"
They all flash out through the walls.
In a long corridor, in the dark, a soft hue from the seemingly endless row of ghosts lined up, yawning and stretching.
____
Gijo - Cannon chair, plasma overflowing, "! WHOOOOOOO !"
____
A flood of plasma pours down the tunnel, charging them all with a bright glow to their cheers. "! WHOOOOOOO !"
"It's just like they said it would beeeee ..."
"! Everybodyyyyyyyy ... ! NOW !"
They all flash down the corridor, the cannon fires a wisp.
____
All brighter, they lounge. The ghost picks back up the Game-Brick.
"Yep. Life of a cannon ghost."
Panic Ghost - Running through in circles screaming, "Oh ... my ... God ... we're ... Organized !"
Game Ghost - "Shaddup." Bangs the Game-Brick and keeps playing.
