one ghost

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

[A messy-haired teenage boy suddenly appears on the plane and looks around curiously.]

Okay, this definitely a good news bad news moment. The good news? What there is of it? I'm still alive. Well, I'm not any more dead than I was already. And I was definitely having some doubts after the whole freaky twin thing. The bad news? Which kind of totally trumps the good news. I think I'm stranded. Why can't I ever get stranded in normal places? I mean, I could totally handle getting stuck at a bus stop or airport. Nice normal places. Why is it always some kind of endless void? Or possibly outer space? Same difference, really. Though I have to admit the scenery is a huge improvement over the ghost zone.

In retrospect, entering that shop with the weird-o twins might not have been the smartest thing I have ever done. Note to self, I have got to stop jumping into these places without looking first.

[He doesn't offer a response yet, but he does offer a shaking hand!

But then when he feels the hand and it's cold, he jerks it back.]

[Danny laughs nervously.]

Sorry, guess I forgot that I feel cold to humans when I'm like this.

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

...oh. Right. I guess it makes sense that ghosts would be cold.

[Sense? Pfffft. Sense is on a permanent vacation in a little place we like to call "six feet under."]

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I barely even notice it anymore. Don't usually hang around humans too much when I'm like this. Except for Sam and Tuck. And Jazz, sometimes.

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

They know about...this?

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Sam and Tuck were there when it happened. And Jazz figured it out on her own later. Apart from them? Only the ghosts know.

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, that's right. They were there...they were the ones who got me to the ambulance.

So...you actually...fight ghosts?

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

I never needed an ambulance then, but yeah. They picked me up after I fell out of the portal. I really freaked them out, I think.

...All the time. I usually have to handle at least one minor ghost a day. Sometimes a lot more.

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

I don't know if I really freaked them out. I think I was already unconscious.

So...you fight ghosts...but, how do you do it? [He seems to be calming down now. Keyword here is "seems."]

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

It might have been the part when I fell through Sam when she tried to help me up.

Like a ghost. When I'm like this, I basically am a ghost. And I have all the powers of one.

...And Mom and Dad's gadgets help out a lot too.

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

Fell...through...her?

So you can...fly...and turn invisible?

And...do Mom and Dad know?

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

[He starts counting the powers off on his fingers.]

Intangibility, invisibility, flying, ectoblasts, shields, my ghost sense, the ghostly wail... I can do all of that.

...No. You know how they are about ghosts.

And every time I start thinking about telling them, I overhear them arguing about the best way to dissect the ghost boy.

...Which is me, by the way.

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

That's...that's crazy! That's insane! How does that even work?!

...

Actually, no, I don't. I did say that they pretty much gave up on ghosts after the portal.

...ew.

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

You're asking me? I just know how to use them. I hav e no idea how they actually work.

...Man, I can't picture them not being obsessed with ghosts.

Yeah, just another one of those happy little therapy inducing moments.

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

What's it like, having those powers?

...well, I don't think they're completely over it, but they're definitely not working on any ghost-related stuff anymore.

They do that a lot, then?

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Sometimes. its seriously awesome. There is nothing like flying at night over Amity Park. Other times? They can be a pain. Literally.

All the time. I'm pretty sure catching and experimenting on Danny Phantom is one of their new life goals. And some of those inventions hurt.

[ooc:sorry about disappearing on you. I left town for the holiday and had one of those epic train adventures complete with rock slides and five hour delays.]

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

Flying over Amity Park, huh? [He kinda has to smile at the idea--it certainly sounds cool! He also scoffs at the bit about "pain"; he doubts that anyone with superpowers has to deal with much of that.]

So they weren't crazy all this time? Their stuff actually works?

((OOC: S'fine! Backlogging is a wondrous thing.))

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

No place better to see the stars than a couple of miles up in the sky. Except for actually being in space, of course.

Yeah. Every. Single. One of them. I know, because they tested most of them on me.

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

...Can you actually fly all the way up to space? You don't have to breathe up there or anything?

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Nah, can't fly fast enough to break out of the atmosphere. I went up with a rocket pack once, though.

...And I'm not sure. I mean, I don't have to breathe as a ghost. I don't think. Unless I want to.

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

So you were actually in space?! [He's not sure whether to stare at you in shock or in glee now.]

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Yeah. One of those long story things, but basically I had to get up there to kick a ghost out of one of the satellites.

[He suddenly grins mischievously.]

I landed the space shuttle once too.

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

A space shuttle? You actually landed a space shuttle?

No way.

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Another one of those long stories behind it, but yeah. That one's definitely on my most awesome moments list.

[invisobillity.livejournal.com]

Sounds way cooler than whatever I've got on my most awesome moments list. [Heheh, awkward-topic-of-conversation!laugh.] So far, this place is like a thousand times cooler than anything else I've ever seen.
