25 Ghosts

[schrodingersghost]

Well, looks like yet another weird day here.  Anyone know what the heck these crystal things do?

[Danny picks up one of the crystals... and nearly drops the crystal from numb fingers.  That...  He knew that place.  It was the Ghost portal.  But before it had been activated.  And that... that was him.  In a white jumpsuit.

Wait a moment!  If he was wearing that, and the portal wasn't activated yet... Oh this was so not good.  With a panicked expression he awkwardly fumbles the crystal into his pocket and desperately lunges to cut the connection on the communicator.  He succeeds, but not before a muted scream echoes out of the crystal muffled in his pocket.]

[Danny doesn't turn to look at her yet.]

But they could have. That was just too close. A second later...

A second later and we would have seen an alternate world. It's happening everywhere.

[She wasn't expecting him to look, but she does hope he realizes he's not alone in hiding this.]

And how long before someone else would have put the pieces together? No one knows Phantom here. But... that's going to change. It has to change.

You said you've been careful. And you can't believe much of anything around here.

Re: //Action\\

If my memories just start turning up like this I don't know if being careful is going to help.

Re: //Action\\

[jazz-enpsyche.livejournal.com]

But memories aren't the only things being shown. There's always other ways to describe something.

Re: //Action\\

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Ways that won't make people ask awkward questions later?

Re: //Action\\

[jazz-enpsyche.livejournal.com]

Hopefully. It's worked so far, right?

Re: //Action\\

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Only because no one here has ever seen Phantom.

Re: //Action\\

[jazz-enpsyche.livejournal.com]

Danny, that gives you an advantage. Besides, there are stranger people out there. The attention won't be on you for long.

Not with all the loonies around.

Gee, thanks a lot.

Hey, it's the truth. Countries, demons...talking animals.

Re: //Action\\

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

You've been talking to the neighbors, I see.

Re: //Action\\

It's actually fascinating. In a place like this, do you know how many chapters in my memoir this will fill.

Re: //Action\\

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure I don't want to know.

Re: //Action\\

[jazz-enpsyche.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you'll find the time. *teasing*

Re: //Action\\

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

...Pass.

Re: //Action\\

[jazz-enpsyche.livejournal.com]

You're just saying that for now.

Re: //Action\\

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

No, I'm pretty sure I will never be that bored.

Re: //Action\\

[jazz-enpsyche.livejournal.com]

Right.

Actually...that might not happen for a while. Not here.

Re: //Action\\

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Exactly.
