Touching the Ectoplasm seems like a good and bad idea. Good in the sense that you could possibly get those cool ghost superpowers you always wanted (Spying on people! Hehe)! Maybe touching the Ectoplasm could let you punch ghosts! However...
At what cost? What if Ectoplasm causes cancer? Or what if it turns you into a grotesque ghost beast that kills everything you love?! Currently, everything you love is Orange Creamsicles, but a world without Orange Creamsicles is a world without joy and happiness and you sure as hell don't want to live in that world.
Based on what you know (which is very little), you figure that Ectoplasm is what ghosts are made of, and Ectoplasm can let physical things touch ghosts. However, since it isnt phasing through the ground or the glass canister, maybe it can only pass through living things or things with a soul. Speaking of souls, you wonder why your soul is so hot. Maybe you already have Superpowers (Well, besides the whole Psionic thing)! Oh god, what if your hand catches on fire if you touch the Ectoplasm? Maybe you could use the stuff as a Molotov grenade!
ignore the extoplasm and touch the blue orb instead
>Lick the strange blue orb
In a confusing fit of conflicting ideas and the fear of living without Creamsicles, you lick the Orb.
It tastes like bitter, salty Rock Candy with a hint of electricity. Squideey is not happy with your behavior. He starts rambling on about how you could potentially break it and cause an explosion that would break the structural integrity of Space Hexagons in a 20 mile radius, or how your tongue could get stuck or something like that but you keep on licking.
So ask Squideey what happens when you touch ectoplasm. Also, since you can hit ghastly things with your Truncheon now since you put ectoplasm on it, put more of it on your other weapons.
Why didn't you think of this before?
: Hey Squideey, what happens when I touch Ectoplasm? Do I get Superpowers?
:
N0: Do I get cancer?
:
N0: Would it catch on fire like that ghost did?
:
N0: Can I put it on my weapons and make it so I can hit ghosts?
:
Yes but I d0n't see why y0u w0uld d0 that c0nsidering y0u already can hit gh0sts and 0ther spectral beings with your Meta-Material Weap0ns: But I thought you said-
:
N0, I said y0u c0uldn't hurt the m0nsters that live near the p0rtal. Meta-Materials w0rk 0n gh0sts.: Why didn't you say anything earlier?
:
It served a purp0se.: ... will you tell me what that purpose was?
:
And take away the fun y0u will have figuring it 0ut y0urself? N0, I w0uld never d0 such a thing.
