He's a Phantom...

WHO: Danny Fenton and Anyone
WHERE: Around Kaisou and on the Libra App
WHEN: July 1
WHAT: Danny transforms into his ghost half for the first time. He has concerns.
WARNINGS: Talk of death?

The Street near Danny's house, July 1, Midmorning

Over the last two months, Danny had put a lot of effort into not thinking too hard  what conclusion all of the abilities he was developing were pointing at. Sensing ghosts? No big deal. Plenty of people claimed they could do that. Feeling cold? Probably a coincidence. The invisibility and intangibility were a little harder to explain away, but the sheer annoyance of dealing with them helped with not thinking about why these specific abilities.

When it finally happened, it was just a stupid accident. He was walking down the street on the way to visit his friends, when he trips over his shoes intangibly sinking into the concrete. He feels a quick spike of frustration.... which quickly turns into panic as a ring of bright white light appears around his waist. It separates into two rings and begins to pass over his body in both directions. 

And everywhere the ring passes, he changes. White to black. Black to white. Blue to Green.

And then the rings vanish, leaving a changed and more than slightly freaked out kid behind. He shakily lifts his hands and inspects them, noticing the faint silvery glow he now had even in the bright sun.

And something in his mind triggers, remembering another time and place.

It hurt. Electricity and ectoplasm and the portal opening to somewhere else, all running through him at once, forging him into something Other.

And then all of a sudden it did, and he was falling out of the portal, green energy still rising from him like smoke. Friendly hands trying to help him off the floor, but they only passed through him like he wasn't even there

And back in the present Danny takes a deep breath and starts to panic..



For Friends, Late Morning:

Danny needed help. Right now, and he was too panicked to think about calling. 

And so in the late morning you'll hear a loud and frantic knock coming from the front door. And when you open it you'll find a nearly unrecognizable Danny. White-haired, with glowing green eyes and a silvery luminescence surrounding him. Even his clothes have changed to a photo negative version of what he was wearing before.


Libra App, Early Afternoon.


[Danny had calmed down from earlier in the day, somehow. The transformation wearing off had helped a lot. But it still left him with questions.

How had this happened? Why had this happened? And what did it mean for him?

And he had no idea where to even start, apart from this.

He smiles nervously, and shifts with awkward energy]


So I know this is kind of a weird question. But... how do you know if you're dead?

[Sorry, Danny. He's not the best person in a crisis. But he does stop to consider something.]

Maaaaaybe it's just your super power?
ocean_songbird: Concerned (And let it catch)

I mean are you sure you're a ghost and not just like... gaining ghost powers?? Cuz I started getting super powers recently. So maybe you're also just getting super powers?

[He's trying? Also he just really wants an explanation that isn't... everyone is dead?]
ocean_songbird: Annoyed (You make my frown turn upside down)

Well I don't remember dying aaaand I can't see or talk to ghosts sooo...

[He's trying very hard to think clearly about this...]

But like. People have been having all kind of like... weird things happen here lately. Like that axe I found in my bed? It has like... ice powers? And last month I realized I could move water with my mind? So maybe your power is like... straddling the line between life and death??

I mean. Someone has to be that one in a million? Look on the bright side. Ghost powers are super cool? Like. You'll never get trapped anywhere? And you can sneak into places? And if you learn to control it enough, no one can punch you!

Aww man. Don't be like that. Just gotta practice, right? Skills don't happen quickly. Gotta build them up. Trial and error. I can't really do much with the water thing either.
ocean_songbird: Neutral (The best thing that could be happening)

If it makes you feel better I keep freezing things with my ice axe? Including parts of my body? I was so sure I was gonna freeze off my own arm. But look! Arm is still totally functional!

[He's trying to be helpful!]
ocean_songbird: Happy (I'll travel the sub-zero tundra)

Oh I was totally freaking out when it happened. Buuuuut it all turned out okay soooo I don't see the point in getting hung up on it? I'm just saying, it's normal to not know how to do something right from the start?
ocean_songbird: Annoyed (As we wait out)

...Doesn't it get exhausting to see the glass as half empty all the time? I'm trying, man, but you're kind of poking holes in every attempt to cheer you up here...?
