Well, there's not really anything else I can do with them. A lot of the time they just come back to cause more havoc and we have to do the whole song and dance again. But there's not really a whole lot in the human world that can contain them. And the things that can are...less than ideal.
Getting trapped inside a vacuum cleaner, getting stuck inside a thermos, getting strapped down to a table for dissection, getting kidnapped by the government so they can find the best way to destroy you...
...oh right, and sometimes a stupid clown might make you join his circus.
Oh. Wow, all of those are bad. [...] Especially the clown. I think I'd prefer death.
-- But you just send them home though, right? So... [that makes him okay in her book, if he does. even if they're pests. nimona is the type to take spiders outside in a plastic cup instead of squishing them.]
He spent a lot of time having people look at him like he was just, you know, a stupid raccoon. Like he wasn't worth anything just because he wasn't human.
People thought he was - a natural disaster. Like a ghost. But he wasn't. The first thing he said to me when... [a pause.] He said if I wanted a place to go, his crew was a bunch of weirdos and I'd fit right in.
... I guess I don't really know where I'm going with this. [just, maybe she doesn't want people to forget that. maybe danny will appreciate that, because he doesn't hurt ghosts, he takes them home. she doesn't know.]
...that was really nice of him. To offer that to you, I mean.
[ he's honestly not quite sure what to say about that. it's certainly not a side of rocket he ever encountered, but offering something like that...they must've been even closer than danny thought. ]
Yeah. I didn't expect it like, at all. But he just offered like it was nothing.
[it was kind of him, to offer that sort of thing to someone he barely knew a week. she's not sure if that counts as close, she just thinks it makes him a good person.]
Anyway. It sucks that he's gone, and it sucks that she's going to be, and I'm not gonna just let it go.

So do you like, whack ghosts?
no subject
No, I usually just stop them from wrecking the city and then send them back home.
no subject
sorry she's stupid]
... That's cooler, though. The just sending them home part.

...yeah. I mean, I put them in the thermos for a little bit, but only to make it easier to transport them.
no subject
... Cool. [she was not expecting this conversation to go this way.] Not a lot of people would do that.
