Well. Perhaps I should get back to that ghost. He found a place for himself in the Grey Town, which seems limitless in The Great Divorce but is in fact quite insubstantial. Napstablook has seen him (though I don't think the ghost wanted to see Napstablook) thus I can report that the ghost has settled in somehow at a place with the very worrying name of The Kilns. He's alone, although Napstablook says that the ghost keeps saying the name "Warnie" in a way that suggests conversation. But who doesn't have conversations with imaginary friends named Warnie? It's all the rage now, talking to oneself, or oneselves. (cont'd)

The ghost's preferred dress is the lion-skin but he also has a tatty Father Christmas outfit of an outdated style. He smokes filthy cheap tobacco constantly and lets ashes fall all over the rug and so Napstablook doesn't really want to go back there again so we'll have to figure out other ways to get to Jack X over at The Kilns, if "at" is the correct preposition given the peculiar nature of the space the Grey Towns inhabits. It has somewhat of the paradoxical character of the urban landscape in Homura's labyrinth in Madoka Magica: Rebellion. We know people who are good with such labyrinths, and I myself have been in Elsa Marie's labyrinth--the one in which Miki Sayaka has her terrible self-destructive battle in the original Madoka Magica. It's not a fun place. (cont'd)
