33 Ghosts [Voice; Action for roommates]

[schrodingersghost]

You know, it just figures.  I finally get some equipment for stargazing and it stays cloudy all week. This-

[And Danny cuts himself off with a yelp  as he suddenly turns intangible and falls through the floor.  Look out below?]

Comments

[commentlog!] Sometimes being a friend of a halfa has downsides....

[Don is minding his own business. Minding his own business and working on an electrical outlet on the second floor. This one had a short in it, and it wasn't at all safe, so Donny decided to fix it before someone plugged something into it and burned the entire apartment complex down.

He blinks when there's a beep from his communicator when a new post from a friend is made. But he doesn't have time to find out the content of the message, does he, Danny Phantom?]

[What travels faster then a communicator message? A falling intangible halfa. Danny doesn't even have the time to shout out a warning before he's slamming into Don from above. And we all know what happens when an intangible ghost boy hits a tangible object.]

[Yes, do we ever know! Don doesn't even have time to shout when the floor is suddenly not as supportive and solid as it once was.

It's only as he's falling through it that Don realizes that he got it backwards. He is the one that is no longer solid. Unfortunately, it seems that gravity is still working just fine.

Oh, shell.]

[Not good, not good, not good... Danny desperately tried to regain control, and kind of control over his fall.

...It wasn't working. He couldn't even slow down.]

[commentlog!]

[techoutmystaff.livejournal.com]

[Don realizes that the thing that hit him is Danny. And that Danny is without a shell. Without thinking, he grabs his friend and tries to fall shell first to protect them both.

That's when his brain kicks back in, and he remembers they're intangible.

So much for that--]

[Aaand Sam peers through the hole in the floor, comm device in hand.]

Wow. Are you guys alright?

Re: [action]

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

[Danny raises a hand, but doesn't get up.]

We're okay. I think.

[ultra-recyclo.livejournal.com]

[Aaand she frowns.]

I didn't know you were having problems with your -- you know.

Re: [action]

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

...I'm just a little out of practice.

[action]

[ultra-recyclo.livejournal.com]

Somehow I got that impression. Do you guys need help getting up?

[action]

[techoutmystaff.livejournal.com]

[Don is sitting up now.]

We're all right. Just a bit surprised, that's all.

[His shell kinda hurts, though.]

[action]

[ultra-recyclo.livejournal.com]

[That's a relief, at least.]

Is this the first time something like that has happened?

[action]

[techoutmystaff.livejournal.com]

Oh, no. Us turtles are pretty used to falling sometimes.

[ voice; ]

[starspangledhero]

I wanna go stargazing! Take me! Take me and I'll tell you what it's like on the moon!

[ pause ]

You okay?

Re: [ voice; ]

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

...Fine. I just tripped. And fell. [through two floors and landed on a turtle.]

And seriously? That is awesome! I've always wondered what the moon was like.

[ voice; ]

[starspangledhero]

Oh. That sucks.

[ not even questioning it ]

Oh man, it's amazing, that's what it is! The feeling's indescribable... so I'll try and describe it to you whenever it's clear enough to look at the stars!

Re: [ voice; ]

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Really? That's awesome! I've always wanted to see what it's like up there. [And he had, but it wasn't like he could talk about borrowing a backpack rocket to fly up there and fight a ghost possessing a satellite. Or how he had landed the spaceshuttle once after it had nearly eaten him.]

Comment log for the greater good!

[Snorts] You two felt like dropping in huh?

Re: Comment log

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

[Danny rolls over and mumbles his reply into the carpet.]

That joke has already been used.

[Don groans, too.]

Definitely fall on him next time.

A classic can never been over used Danny.

But Don, you're a much better fall guy than me.

[jazz-enpsyche.livejournal.com]

[Kind of yelling down the stairs.]

Are you two okay?

[Torn between amusement at that thud and overwhelming panic on how far the two fell!]

Re: [Voice---Action]

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

[Yelling back up the stairs.]

Fine!

Re: [Voice---Action]

[jazz-enpsyche.livejournal.com]

Really fine, or more your idea of fine?

[Who needs communicators when yelling down the stairs works just great!]

Re: [Voice---Action]

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

[Yelling up the stairs works just as well.]

Do I have to answer that?
