So a ghost walks into a bar...

[a1enzo]

Usually, Enzo visits Milliways on purpose. Occasionally, however, the Door has been known to take him by surprise. Right after Games class, for instance.

The figure that enters is still tall, but the only other recognizable feature is the boots. That's because everything else is covered by a pale pink bedsheet with eyeholes cut in it.

"Oh, come on!"

The sheet starts to thrash as its wearer attempts to extricate himself.

And guess who the first person to peek under the sheet is?

"Did I get dropped into an episode of Scooby Doo?"

[a1enzo]

It never fails, does it? Enzo scowls at her under the sheet. "Pac-Man drills."

[hey35andholding]

NEVER.

"Pacman. Drills." She chuckles. "At least your world knows how to have fun."

[a1enzo]

"Games are serious business for us, Clem." Enzo backs away from her so she can pull the dang sheet off him.

[hey35andholding]

"EVERYTHING is serious where you come from," she complains lightly, and pokes at his arm through the sheet before he gets it off.

[a1enzo]

"No, I mean Games are really serious. If they weren't, they wouldn't be part of a Guardian's job."

[hey35andholding]

"Oh, is this another you-get-erased deal?" EVERYTHING is serious in Enzo's world. Everything.

[a1enzo]

"Nullified. Used to be, anyway."

Not everything. Just a lot of things that Users wouldn't expect.

[hey35andholding]

"Damn." She shakes her head. "No wonder you come here to loosen up."

[a1enzo]

"Don't get me wrong, Games are fun! But they're dangerous. It's a lot better now, but even so."

[hey35andholding]

"As long as you don't die playing them," she points out.

[a1enzo]

"Right, but AndrAIa found a way around that. It's not a good way, but it's better than nullification."

[hey35andholding]

"Good. At least you won't be losing some pixels over this."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Enzo's a ghostie!" Fry wails, pointing at Enzo.

"I think it's just a sheet." Guppy says quickly, going to Enzo to help him get it off.

[a1enzo]

"It is," Enzo agrees. "Thanks, Guppy."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Don't do that." Fry complains, as Guppy lifts the sheet off Enzo.

[a1enzo]

"I didn't mean to. I was going to the props room to take it off, and I ended up here."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Why were you wearing it?" Guppy asks, as Fry spins around in circles.

[a1enzo]

"Games class. We did Pac-Man drills."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Pac man after or before he ate the blob?"

[a1enzo]

"You mean the energizers? Both, we do the whole game."

[guppy_sandhu]

"Does it eat you?!" Fry asks, in alarm.

[a1enzo]

"Don't worry, this is just a simulation," Enzo says reassuringly. "It's another classmate dressed up, they just tag us, or we tag them."

[guppy_sandhu]

"We tried to get Fry playing tag once, but he didn't like being tagged."

[a1enzo]

Enzo nods. Not surprising, for Fry.

"Well, we have to do a lot harder stuff than tagging. Anyway, this was more about flanking. Pink means I was on ambush."
