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. I've been kidnapped. Again. Stuck in a creepy looking city that is seriously in need of a little urban renewal. And on top of all of that my powers are shorted out?

Could this possibly get any worse?

[He freezes and moans miserably.]

...Oh, great. I think I just jinxed myself.

[ Oh shit. FAMILIAR FACE. And for that reason, America is practically screaming into the camera. He looks delighted! And kinda stoned but that's a given. ]

DANNNNYYYYYYYYYYYYY WHAT IS UP MY CITIZEN BRO?

Re: ( video )

[schrodingersghost]

[What? Seriously, what? Danny had no idea what to think about this.]

...Do I know you?

( video )

[starspangledhero]

[ Oh.

Oh.

All those happy feelings? Gone. Gone. His face is a wasteland of disappointment. ]

C'mon man, don't tell me you got your brain wiped too. Seriously, how could ya not remember your own country?

Re: ( video )

[schrodingersghost]

You realize I have no clue what you're talking about.

( video )

[starspangledhero]

I've realized it and I refuse to accept it.

Re: ( video )

[schrodingersghost]

Refuse to accept what?

( video )

[starspangledhero]

That you don't remember me and aren't gonna remember me. I reject your reality and substitute my own.

[schrodingersghost]

[Danny was starting to wonder if he'd had another run-in with Desiree.]

I still don't know who you are.

[ INSERT THE MOST DRAMATIC SIGH YOU CAN IMAGINE ]

I'm America, man. You know! The one, the only, and the best! And before you get on my case about it, yeah, I am the country. Your country! 'Cause I know you! Duh.

[schrodingersghost]

You're saying that I'm talking to my country? How is that even possible?

...Are you a ghost?

[starspangledhero]

Why would you even joke like that DO I LOOK LIKE A GHOST?!

[schrodingersghost]

No, but that doesn't really mean anything. And I mean, I've met the ghost of time and the ghost of Halloween. A ghost of a country isn't a big stretch.

[Video]

[travelin_on]

Man I can not tell you how often I've said that.

[Video] YES, I was looking forward to this meeting.

[schrodingersghost]

Which part? The desperately in need of a vacation or the jinxing myself?

[Video] <33 Sorry he never got to interact much with Ace

[travelin_on]

The vacation part...

And the jinxing part.

[Video] its too bad

[schrodingersghost]

So now we're doubly jinxed. Great. We are so doomed.

[Video]

[travelin_on]

So... What happened last week?

Tests kick your ass? [Don't think he didn't notice you said "power"]

Re: [Video]

[schrodingersghost]

I wish.

But I'm seriously starting to buy into the different planet thing. Because I'm pretty sure no one could have missed the whole disasteroid incident.

[Video]

[travelin_on]

Disasteroid? [Really? That sounds so made up.]

Yeah, I'd believe it. I mean, I've been to different times and alternate realities myself. Other worlds just don't seem so far-fetched anymore.

Re: [Video]

[schrodingersghost]

Asteroid big enough to completely destroy the planet. It fit.

Frankly I'd prefer the alternate universe. At least I've had practice with those.

[Video]

[travelin_on]

Alternate universes, powers, asteroids big enough to destroy the world. What next? Flight? Laser eyes?

Are you gonna tell me you're the son of Superman or something?

Re: [Video]

[schrodingersghost]

I can do the flight. But that's a no on the laser eyes.

I'm half-ghost.

[Video]

[travelin_on]

[Whoa. Timeout.]

Half ghost? How can you be HALF a ghost?

Re: [Video]

[schrodingersghost]

[He shrugs.]

Freak accident. And I mean freak. Long story short, I'm stuck somewhere in between human and ghost. So I never died, but I have all the abilities of a ghost.

[Video]

[travelin_on]

[Staring for a moment. Trying to work this out logically in his brain and kind of failing.]

Well that's... kind of cool. [Scratching his head.] I guess...

You don't have any sort of weaknesses like they do right? Like the whole salt thing or connection to an item that can be used against you?

[He remembers going out of body, so he and Sam were ghosts before but, they couldn't do it on a whim and if they got trapped they'd die.]

Re: [Video]

[schrodingersghost]

It has its moments.

[He blinks.] What salt thing?

[Video]

[travelin_on]

Rock salt. It wards off spirits and makes great ammunition. We use it to fight ghosts, pack it in shot gun shells and fire it at'em. It makes'em dissipate for a while, usually long enough to give you a head start. If that doesn't work you can use iron.

There's always the old, line doors and windows, or draw a circle in salt to keep spirits out.

Re: [Video]

[schrodingersghost]

Never heard of that before.

...Wait, shot gun shells? As in you use actual shotguns? Not ectorifles or ectobazookas?

And the only way I've ever heard of to keep ghosts out is a Fenton Ghost Shield.

[Video]

[travelin_on]

... no. Definitely not those ecto-whats-a-whosits. Just normal shot guns.

what the heck is Fenton Ghost Shield?

Re: [Video]

[schrodingersghost]

And ghosts don't just phase out of the way?

About what it sounds like. Turn it on and it creates a dome shield that ghosts can't get in or out of. [He shudders.] Those things hurt when you don't see them coming.
