[The video turns on, showing a rather grumpy  teenager staring out at the dismal and wet weather through the window.]

Great.  It's raining.

[He sighs.]

It figures, doesn't it?  So much for setting up the telescope tonight.  Nothing's going to be visible at all.

Anyone want to do anything?  I'm bored.

Yeah, that would be. Personally I spent the entire time trying to keep an eye out for anyone who needed rescuing.

[lifewithoutrest]

That's quite thoughtful of you.

Re: [Video]

[schrodingersghost]

It's kind of part of the job. With great power comes great responsibility and all that.

[lifewithoutrest]

[And now he's captured her curiosity.]

And what power is it you possess?

Re: [Video]

[schrodingersghost]

[He shrugs uncomfortably, still not entirely used to admitting it freely like this.]

I'm half-ghost.

[Video]

[lifewithoutrest]

Half ghost?

[That's one she hasn't heard before.]

And what exactly does that allow you to do?

Re: [Video]

[schrodingersghost]

Everything a full ghost can do, pretty much. You know, walk through walls, disappear and fly.

[lifewithoutrest]

How fascinating. And is this common in your world?

Re: [Video]

[schrodingersghost]

[He laughs.] Not even close. Ghosts are pretty common. Half-ghosts... We're freak accidents. Emphasis on freak.

I can't say as I've ever encountered a ghost. Not in the traditional sense, at least.

I apologize. I've failed to introduce myself. Helen Magnus.

Count yourself lucky.

Nice to meet you. I'm Danny Fenton. Danny Phantom when I'm working.

[lifewithoutrest]

Unpleasant beings?

The pleasure is mine, Danny.

Re: [Video]

[schrodingersghost]

They can be.

[Video]

[lifewithoutrest]

But you're different?

[He hardly seems unpleasant.]

Re: [Video]

[schrodingersghost]

I'm still half-human. And have no interest in the whole 'fear me while I conquer the world' routine.

[Video]

[lifewithoutrest]

I see.

In my experience, that isn't always such a terrible quality.

[In fact, it reminded her of Nikola. Except his intention was rarely fear, and he often meant well.]

Re: [Video]

[schrodingersghost]

It is when you're the guy in charge of stopping all that nonsense.

[Video]

[lifewithoutrest]

I know a thing or two about being in that position, as well.

Re: [Video]

[schrodingersghost]

Yeah? You get a lot of that in your world?

[Video]

[lifewithoutrest]

Certainly. Being caught between two worlds is a position no one should envy.
