So... I'm back at the apartment now. Sorry if anyone was worried?

Because trust goes both ways. I can't get you to trust me if I don't trust you.
[And without further explanation, Minato reaches over to point out the well hidden marker that he had used.]
That's how I got here. I sensed where you were, then used that marker to teleport here. ... but my markers can affect more than just myself.
Re: [Insta!Commentlog]
Date: 2010-09-06 11:53 pm (UTC)...I'm not very big on trust.
[Interesting trick, but Danny had seen much weirder. Most of the ghosts he knew had the ability to expand their area of influence to anything they touched. Still, he had the feeling he'd be keeping an eye out for those markers now.]

Date: 2010-09-07 12:05 am (UTC)I noticed.
[He continues, then.]
I can teleport others with me. As small as a baby to as big as a gigantic demon. And I can teleport things seperately, to a place not bound by a marker, by holding this kunai sideways and with a few hand seals.
... I've been acting like I can only teleport myself and a few others at a time... but I can teleport far, far more than that. I can divert attacks, move them to another place far away from me. As easy as breathing. And I can be focusing on a chakra--energy attack--while teleporting simultaneously.
I've been keeping it a secret to protect those I cherish here, revealing new limits to my technique as necessary. Back home, knowing too much could make you a target. It's a bit different here, but old habits die hard.
[Minato's gaze flicks up to Danny's again, and this time he holds it there.]
You're the first person in Discedo that I've entrusted with these secrets about my Flying Thunder God Technique. And I can count the number of people that knew back home on one hand.
Re: [Insta!Commentlog]
Date: 2010-09-07 12:30 am (UTC)Some habits never die.
[He sighs and turns away for a long moment as he thinks.]
I won't tell anyone. I understand why you've been hiding it. But I... What I'm hiding is more than just an ability. It makes me a target. It makes everyone who knows a target. If the wrong person ever found out it could - it would destroy my family. And that would be just the beginning. I saw what could happen. I'm not willing to let that happen.
And by wrong person I mean anyone from my world. [He laughs a little bitterly and turns away again.] Who could resist?
Re: [Insta!Commentlog]
Date: 2010-09-07 12:40 am (UTC)I know how that feels.
[Minato drops his gaze.]
Someone important to me had a secret like that. The wrong people found out. ... and I lost everything.
[He looks up at Danny again, very quiet still.]
You don't need to let me in on your secret, not now. That's up to you.
But at least think of how you might tell me, quickly, in an emergency need-to-know basis. I can only absorb information as fast as it's given. If you can give me that information fast, I can use it as if I've know it all along.
... ... All right?
Re: [Insta!Commentlog]
Date: 2010-09-07 12:57 am (UTC)[He hesitates a little.]
And... I don't know if it's even possible to give the information fast. But, if you meet Phantom he will help. Whatever the emergency is. He can help more if he isn't being attacked by the people he's trying to help.
Re: [Insta!Commentlog]
Date: 2010-09-07 01:00 am (UTC)Phantom? Who's this Phantom? ... And how can I recognize him?
Re: [Insta!Commentlog]
Date: 2010-09-07 01:05 am (UTC)He has white hair, and he glows.
[Insta!Commentlog]
Date: 2010-09-07 01:29 am (UTC)So he's a friendly ghost. Got it. Any other characteristics?
Re: [Insta!Commentlog]
Date: 2010-09-07 01:45 am (UTC)He will probably be wearing a black uniform with a logo on the chest. And flying.

Date: 2010-09-07 02:02 am (UTC)[Minato looks amused.]
I'm pretty sure I can recognize him from that.

Date: 2010-09-07 11:44 am (UTC){He looks at Danny curiously for a moment.]
So he's the secret you're keeping. I see. It's good that he has someone he can trust.
Re: [Insta!Commentlog]
Date: 2010-09-07 01:25 pm (UTC)He's part of it.
My parents are ghost hunters. They hate ghosts. All ghosts. If they knew I was on friendly terms with a ghost I don't think they would react well.

Date: 2010-09-08 01:53 am (UTC)He wonders if Danny and Phantom are the same person. But Danny looks alive. Hmmmmm...]
It's understandable why you hide him. ... but can I ask one last question?

Date: 2010-09-08 01:11 pm (UTC)You've got a point. I'll just have to keep an eye out for him, then.
Re: [Insta!Commentlog]
Date: 2010-09-08 01:32 pm (UTC)You'll probably see him around sometime. He isn't the type to let people get hurt when he can do something to help.
