How is it being mean if I'm leaving 🌶️ in a jar for you? Maybe you just have very high standards for being nice. 😔 Very demanding 👻!
I'm not throwing the jars because the jars would break! That's the whole problem. But I should be allowed to throw things and catch ghosts without walking right up to them. What if it's a hostile ghost? Maybe my senior should think more about ghost safety while he's lying down!
That's what happens when you're nice to 👻 in the first place! Demanding 👻!
I thought the point of lures would be not having to walk up to the ghosts at all, OR throw things at them, which they are sure to love. Wouldn't it be better to just set the jars down gently and come back later? Or is that not exciting enough?
This 👻 is so trying. 😔 Maybe I'm the one that needs to lie down. The 👻 can get his own 🌶️.
Are you saying 👻 aren't smart enough to avoid lures? If I was a 👻 and I saw a jar lying on the ground, I'd float around it. Sorry to any 👻✨ but you'll have to catch these incorporeal hands!!! If you're not throwing things, you're not keeping up with me.
The 👻 will and he won't share! How's that for trying?
Well if you make the lures luring enough, no. That's the point of the lures. It's not a question of smart anyway, at least not just that. It's not an obstacle they fail to avoid, they go in willingly. Ideally. And if you don't want ghosts to be hostile, that's what you need musical cultivation for! But substituting throwing things is certainly one idea.
Well I don't think you've given me real flowers yet. And where are you getting these rules! Not that I disagree with them. I do need to be treated with respect, as a ghost (and elder).
I should never have said anything about flinging ghosts, this was my mistake. I will look at 👻 jars in penance, and provide helpful 🎶✨. I just want to know why! Or is that a stupid question for the questions cultivator?
Are chilis not basically flowers if you think really hard about it? The peppers grow from the pollinated flower, so it's more like they're really old flowers. Aged flowers. Cultivated flowers! 🌺✨ Elder flowers for an elder ghost.
I just type a question into the phone and it gives me things like this! You agree with it, so it must be right.
Why would any 👻 questions be stupid?? No, I take that back. That's the only one, the only stupid 👻 question. Which why do you want to know?? I think you've asked a lot of whys, I don't know why my answers aren't good enough for a 👻! 👿😭
So logical, this sand cultivator. This elder ghost has thought really hard about it and peppers can be my favorite flower too.
Of course I agree. Being nice to 👻 is never wrong.
That's so much protesting from someone who clearly isn't up to anything non-theoretical involving ghosts or jars. And yet so far your answer has been that it's just curiosity, 'maybe.' You'll forgive this ghost for being a little concerned.
I just want to know how they work! I have a jar and it catches 👻, but I don't know how it does that. They just kind of get sucked in, and then they're trapped in there until I let them out. They don't wander in on their own, so I'm not sure it's like a lure. It has to have 💀✨, obviously, but it just seems like a very inefficient means of catching 👻. I think we could make it better. Is that not allowed to be my answer? I feel like I've said all that already...
Maybe I just want to be able to catch a 👻 in case there's a mean 👻 running around! Maybe they're terrorizing people and someone has to stop them, or maybe I'm being chased by one and I don't want to die. 👿😩 Is it bad to be prepared?
No, it's not bad! I'm commending your forethought right now. 👻👍⬅️ Ghost commendation, for all your heroism and forethought. 🚫👿😩
I guess it doesn't seem particularly inefficient to me, since I would assume you're trying to get a specific ghost, but if you're talking volume, there's sure to be a work around. Have to be careful though, that kind of thing can get out of hand. More resentment, more ghosts, more resentment, even more ghosts. Or is that not the kind of efficiency you had in mind? Maybe we should just make a broom to sweep the ghosts into a pile.
👻👍! Okay, ghost commendations accepted, I guess!!! 🚫👿😩
Can you sweep ghosts into a pile?? 🧹👻👻👻🍂🍃 Won't they just float away without something to keep them stuck there? I was only thinking about one ghost at a time, but you have a point! That's a whole other layer of efficiency. How many ghosts can you fit in a jar, anyway? Maybe we should make it a backpack, just to be safe.
