Ghost size

Thinking quickly enough to avoid him was going to be a problem as suddenly Pac Man got a lot more agile than it had been. I barely avoided getting caught, and I knew that I didn't have the kinds of reaction speed that Uber had. If I was going to get ahead of him, I needed to make plans in advance.

Carpenter was drawing them off, and she was a lot better at driving her ghost than I was. Uber almost seemed to enjoy the cat and mouse game between the two of them. She was moving through people, and... Right.

We were larger than life in our ghost forms. If Pac Man was fifteen feet tall, we were nine feet tall, and it looked as though our ghost forms were just projections. Hunched over like a rider, that meant that we could pass directly over people, especially since they tended to hunch without harming them. We were supposed to be ghosts, after all.

That made it a lot easier.

I started moving directly through people. It actually cost Pac Man a little movement every time it sucked someone in.
