37 Ghosts [video/ action for roommates]

[schrodingersghost]

[Danny had turned on the communicator, planning on asking Sam a question.  But before he can say anything he freezes, staring at something across the room.   His face twists into an expression of complete loss and devastation, even as he jumps jerkily to his feet and screams.]

No!  Mom!  Dad!  Jazz!  Sam!

....I

I did this.  This is all my fault.  I couldn't save you.

No they're not Danny ... [Mikey attempts to pull Danny to his feet.] Come on, let's go and sit somewhere else for a while?

[Danny doesn't move.]

Why bother. Nothing matters anymore. He was right, after all. You can't change the future.

[notfunnyraph.livejournal.com]

[He might just forcibly Drag Danny into a different room if that's the case. For now he just offers Danny a small smile]

Sure you can. If it was imposable to change the future Lord Simultaneous' job would be a lot easier and he wouldn't be half as cranky as he is.

[Danny is still refusing to move, with a blank expression on his face.]

I tried to change it. I failed. He came back.

[Danny clenches his fists and looks away.]

Go away, Mikey. It isn't safe to be near me.

[notfunnyraph.livejournal.com]

You know what they say about if at first you don't succeed right?

[Okay, now Mikey snorts.]

You say that as if it's safe to be around anyone in this place. Now quit letting this place get the better of you. And come with me.

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Clockwork already gave me my second chance.

[And here Danny turns and glares at him, finally showing an emotion.]

You don't get it! He wants me to become him. That's why he did this!

[notfunnyraph.livejournal.com]

It's try try again, more than one try. And besides you haven't failed because I don't know what you're seeing but I'm not seeing any dead family members of yours around here, I don't even see any scratched up ones.

[Well some emotion is better than no emotion.]

...Who?

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

They're right there!

...A monster.

[notfunnyraph.livejournal.com]

[Mikey looks aorund, mostly for Danny's sake, since he already knows there's nothing there.]

Danny, I don't see them, it's just this place messing with you again.

...A monster huh? Well if you don't want to be a monster then you should listen to your friend, which is me. And do what this friend of yours says, which is leave this room before you go crazy for real.

Now are you goina to listen to me, or am I gonna have to smack you over the head?

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

...I'm not leaving.

[Yes Danny, pick the worst possible time to get stubborn.]

[notfunnyraph.livejournal.com]

Don't say I didn't warn you.

[Mikey doesn't get to do this often so forgive him if he enjoys it a little -- SMACK -- ]

Still staying put?

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

[Danny yelps and glares.]

I'm not leaving. This was my fault.

[notfunnyraph.livejournal.com]

Fine, then I'm staying too.

[And Mikey sits down in front of you.]

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Are you not listening at all? It is not safe to be near me. He's going to come back.

[notfunnyraph.livejournal.com]

Yeah I'm listening to you.

But no one's ever accused me of being the smart one. So I'm staying.

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

[Danny glares at him.]

Fine, then I'm leaving. I'm not letting anyone else get hurt.

[notfunnyraph.livejournal.com]

[Ha! He wins.]

You do that.

[Great job Mikey, manipulating Danny using his guilt complex. Of course now he's going to run off somewhere into the city, still hallucinating that his family is dead, and that his evil future self did it. Someone might want to follow him before he does something stupid.]

[notfunnyraph.livejournal.com]

[Dude what do you take him for! He's already following him. He just wanted to get the kid away from the imaginary dead bodies.]
