When Neon first went to the South Idol he hit the enemies while they were in the bubble, with his sword. D-Rock was throwing siege grenades immediately afterwards and it worked fine.
However, there is this thing called reality and sometimes a pirate gets called (afk/brb) to deal with something in real.
It just so happens that there were three pirates there and twice both got called by the real world. That gave the ghosts a chance to kill Neon. Of course, being a Fury pirate, Neon expected to thrive at the South Idol.
He called for Physics to come smite the ghosts to restore things to their Darbodaen-correct form.
As a small issue, we don't really have a code that says "I'm busy, can't talk right now". I'm not sure if we need one, or, if we decide we do need one, how to go about picking it. I will give this more thought.
