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.]

... You haven't seen him at his worse, Danny.

Wait... Dani?

Something to look forward to, then.

My... cousin. Sort of.

[techoutmystaff.livejournal.com]

Yup.

... Sort of?

If you asked my parents about her they wouldn't know who she was. Its kind of another of those low profile things.

[techoutmystaff.livejournal.com]

Oh. ... ... Okay, I'm still confused.

Re: [Action]

She's a clone. My clone. Only she's twelve years old and a girl.

Okay, technically she's less than a year old, but you know what I mean.

[Action]

[techoutmystaff.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean. And I'm going to guess that she's not an exact clone, then. Unless, of course, there's something you're not telling me....

[Oops, a bit of bad humor there, Danny.]

Re: [Action]

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Oh, ha ha. Very funny.

[Danny rolls his eyes at Don's attempt at humor.]

I don't know why she turned out like that. I don't think the fruitloop really knew what he was doing when he decided cloning me was a good idea. No big surprise there.

[Action]

[techoutmystaff.livejournal.com]

I thought it was.

[Don's thoughtful.]

I'm going to have to say he had no clue if the DNA messed up that badly. Or maybe the X chromosome got copied twice and the Y chromosome didn't? ... Wait, fruitloop?

Re: [Action]

All I know is that none of the clones were stable. Dani was the the only one that had anything like her own personality, and even she starts to melt every time she uses her ghost powers.

Yeah, the creep decided that if he couldn't have me, he'd just make a perfect copy. Definitely one of his loopiest moves.

[Action] FFFFFFF Did Danny tell him about Vlad? /forgot Either way, the nicknames would confuse him.

[techoutmystaff.livejournal.com]

That's... not stable? [Holy crap. Even if she doesn't use her ghost powers, she could eventually. Don doesn't mention this to Danny in the slightest, not at the moment, not when they can't do anything here.] ... No wonder why you consider her a cousin.

Uhm, Danny?

[Action] He might have? I can't remember.

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

...Yeah. [Danny knows. Using her powers will make her melt faster, but she still isn't stable. There just... isn't anything anyone can do about it. Vlad wouldn't fix her, even if he knew how.]

Yeah, cousin takes a lot less explanation.

Yeah?

Re: [Action] He might have? I can't remember.

[techoutmystaff.livejournal.com]

[That's so not good.]

I bet it does.

... ... ... ... I have no idea whom you're talking about. You do know that, right?

Re: [Action] He might have? I can't remember.

[invisibill.livejournal.com]

Heh, sorry. He's my archenemy. I usually just call him the fruitloop and let it go at that. Not someone you ever want to meet.

[Action]

[techoutmystaff.livejournal.com]

Oh.

... Mind giving me a name? Description? How to avoid him if he shows up here?

Re: [Action]

Vlad Masters. Vlad Plasmius when he's a ghost. When he's human he has white hair and usually wears a suit. He really pushes the smarmy rich guy angle. When he's a ghost he has black hair that is kind of shaped like horns and red eyes. And he's still a creep. But he doesn't usually bother hiding it then.

He's half ghost like me, but he's had his powers for twenty years.

[Danny looks extremely uncomfortable for a moment.]

And he kind of has a thing for my Mom. And wants me as his son.

...But I don't think he would go after anyone else. He's always pretty focused on me.

[techoutmystaff.livejournal.com]

[Don just blinks a lot at that. And then rubs the back of his neck.]

... I'm just.. going to agree with him being a creep. Remind me to hope he never shows up.

No argument there.
