36 Ghosts [Video/Action for roommates] posted after Perona's ghosts are gone

[schrodingersghost]

[Danny is slumped facedown on the couch - and doesn't look like he'll be moving any time soon.  After a few moments he sleepily raises the communicator and mumbles into it,]

Is everyone okay?  No more ghosts anywhere?

And Jazz?  Can I talk to you about something?

[And Sam takes a seat on the arm of the couch, frowning softly down at Danny's facedown form on the couch.]

Do you need help getting to your bed?

[He rolls onto his back and grins sleepily up at her.]

I'll head up in a bit. I need to check something with Jazz first.

...Are you okay? You didn't get attacked by those ghosts?

[Sam holds her hands up, palms down toward him, as if to say she's fine.]

Nope, I'm fine. Completely ghost-free. Well. Mostly ghost-free. [She lofts an eyebrow at him.] You look exhausted.

...I just need some sleep. It wasn't exactly a high priority these past few days.

[She drops her hand to the top of his head, ruffling his hair.]

I know, Danny. Just try to make it one for a little while, okay?

Re: [action]

[He makes a face, but doesn't push her hand away.]

I'll try.

[Yes, Danny, she was petting you like a dog. She doesn't mean anything bad by it.]

I'd threaten to lock you in your room, but I get the feeling that wouldn't do much good.

[Between Jazz and you, he's starting to give up on protesting.]

...Not really. No ghost shields around here.

Re: [action]

[ultra-recyclo.livejournal.com]

[She hums thoughtfully.]

Maybe I could get your mom to build one.

Re: [action]

....Please don't. I haven't been electrocuted since I arrived here. I was enjoying the break from it.

Re: [action]

[ultra-recyclo.livejournal.com]

Just a joke, Danny. [Pause.] A bad one, but still a joke. Do you - need a pillow or something to drink or - I don't know, something?

Re: [action]

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Sorry, guess I missed that one.

And don't worry about it. I'll be fine.

Re: [action]

[ultra-recyclo.livejournal.com]

Nope. Doesn't work like that. You go helicopter-mom on me when I get shot, I get to bug you until you sleep.

[She's not scolding him -- mostly just trying to make conversation until Jazz arrives.]

Re: [action]

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

You know, there's just a little difference between getting shot and not sleeping for a few days.

Re: [action]

[ultra-recyclo.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Getting shot doesn't make you cranky and hallucinate.

Re: [action]

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

...I'm not hallucinating.

Re: [action]

[ultra-recyclo.livejournal.com]

You will! Eventually. It happens when you don't sleep.

Re: [action]

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

I already said that I would sleep. Just not yet. I need Jazz to figure out something with her obsessive knowledge of psychology first.

Re: [action]

[ultra-recyclo.livejournal.com]

Yeah? What's going on?

Re: [action]

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

...I might have accidentally convinced someone that I was a lost ghost who needed help to pass on into heaven.

Re: [action]

[ultra-recyclo.livejournal.com]

.. What?

Re: [action]

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

...That was about the same reaction I had. I still have no clue where he came up with this. Something about denial and Prussia and quests and being a minor.

How do you end up in situations like this?

Re: [action]

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Bad karma?

Re: [action]

[ultra-recyclo.livejournal.com]

Bad karma for what? Saving Amity Park all the time?
