# that's very cool stuff i like your style.
as a registered /board pedant however, i feel i must point out the incorrect usage of the word ectoplasm.

# Oooh...
Could you elaborate on the 'plasm thing please?
(I helped save b3ta! Cawl, Thu 6 Nov 2008, 9:34, archived)
# well if you break down the latin of the word to find it's origins and meanings you have:
Ecto - outside (very rough translation)
plasm - something that is moulded or formed, so usually a slime of sorts
Ergo,
ecto plasm = outer slime

the word is normally used when describing the make up of cells, namely the out part of a cells cytoplasm (cyto = cell / plasm = something that is moulded or formed)

it was picked up by ghostbusters and the like and is now the unnofficial word used for slime found after freaky occurences, doesn't really apply with the smoke your character describes.

and i'm spent.

# Hmmm...
That's all fair and valid, but I think I'm gonna just claim "poetic licence" in this case...
