Is a non-working vacation too much to ask for? I mean, come on. One day off. After what happened last week I deserve that.

[A dark-haired teenage boy is scowling unhappily into the camera. He sighs heavily and drags a hand through his hair. Somehow it always ended up like this.]

Okay, so let me just get this straight.The giant turtle is actually a thing? Someone isn't just pulling a really elaborate joke on me?

[He sighs.]

Yeah, never mind. Don't even bother answering that. I think I already know the answer.

Could this possibly get any weirder? [He freezes and moans miserably.] ...Oh, great. I think I just jinxed myself.

Comments

[schrodingersghost]

They said something about gangs, but I guess I didn't make the connection. Somehow.

[Mostly because he kind of doubted they had anti-ghost weaponry here. Anything else he could phase through.

...Normally, that is. He really hoped that whatever was wrong with his powers was going to wear off soon. ]

[aprettyflyboy]

It's a lot of information to take at once, it's okay. The Sky sector is one of the safest one for Foreigners if you want to give that one a look first.

[The Hotel has special safeguards and demonic energy around, Danny should be careful while walking inside it just in case.]

[schrodingersghost]

Uh, okay? Noted?

[aprettyflyboy]

Ey, I'm just warning you. I almost got mugged 3 times the first day I was here because someone sent me to the the Metal Sector.

[schrodingersghost]

So avoid metal, stick to sky, and don't go out at night?

[At least one of those rules was going to get broken in no time at all. ]

[aprettyflyboy]

Well...try at least? It's not like I'm going to tell you what to do of course. You don't want to know what was I doing at your age.

But try to never piss off Mr. Shudder.

[That is one rule you don't want to break, Danny.]

[schrodingersghost]

[Danny grins. ]

Sounds like there's a story there.

Um, but who's Mr. Shudder?

[aprettyflyboy]

[Poe smiles. You catch up on things quickly, kid.]

There was an problem a few days ago and part of the Midnight Hotel is now under repairs. He's the owner, I mentioned him before. He doesn't tolerate any violence inside the Hotel.

[schrodingersghost]

Huh. I guess that's a good thing.

[Danny briefly considers the sheer number of times he'd been attacked inside the house at home.]

What happened?

[aprettyflyboy]

A very good one. [Poe has a lot of respect for Anton, for many reasons.]

Long story short? An immovable object meet an unstoppable force. The long story involves two Force users.

[schrodingersghost]

Okay, was the force one of the things I was supposed to learn about at the welcome center? Because its not ringing a bell.

[Maybe he should have paid more attention, but at the time Danny had been mostly convinced it was all a bizarre dream.]

[aprettyflyboy]

No, the Force it's something that exist in my world. It's a metaphysical energy that connects and binds all living things around the Galaxy.

Only individuals sensitive to the Force are able to feel it and use it. It grants the users different sorts of abilities: telekinesis, mind reading, premonition, healing...

[schrodingersghost]

So... it's like an ultimate cheat code?

[aprettyflyboy]

No, it's...

[Kind of like that, actually.]

...okay, yes, a bit? But there's a philosophy and lifestyle around it too. It's not just about using cool powers.

You don't have people in your world with special abilities,then?

[schrodingersghost]

Only if ghosts count.

[aprettyflyboy]

They do. If the stories are true, they exist in my world too.

[schrodingersghost]

Seriously? What do they do? Are any of them trying to take over the world?

[aprettyflyboy]

They're ghost, I don't think they can't do much. Why would a ghost try to take over the world?

[schrodingersghost]

No clue. I always figured they must be really bored.

[aprettyflyboy]

True but there are better way to spend the eternity than causing trouble, don't you think? They could try to help instead.

[schrodingersghost]

[He snorts. ]

Yeah, I wouldn't really expect that from most of the ghosts that showed up back home.

[He knew some in the Ghost Zone who would, but it was usually only the trouble makers who came to the human world. ]

[aprettyflyboy]

Sounds like you are very used to dealing with them.

[Shame on those ghosts, then.]

[schrodingersghost]

I live in Amity Park. We get more ghost attacks than anywhere else in the world.

[aprettyflyboy]

And you know why that happens? Did a lot of people die in that city in the past?

[schrodingersghost]

No, nothing like that. [Danny shrugs.]

My parents opened a permanent portal to the alternate dimension where ghost live.

In our basement.

And let's just say Dad's not the greatest at remembering to actually close the door.

Plus, once the ghosts knew where the town was? Well, some of them are good at finding natural portals.
