1. [VIDEO] The Bay
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 somehow got kidnapped and stuck in an alternate dimension. Again. And this time it's not Dad's fault?

Could this possibly get any worse?

[He freezes and moans miserably.]

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


2. [ACTION] Genessia City

[Later that day a strange new arrival can be spotted around Genessia City. It appears to be a glowing white-haired teenage boy. He appears in the sky first, flying over the city and investigating the layout. Later he makes his way closer to the ground, hovering several feet above the pavement as he explores the town.]

Lady Luck is not a friend of your's, I take it?

Re: [video]

[schrodingersghost]

Are you kidding? Anything that has anything to do with good luck hates me.

[video]

[tuxedo_magician]

That sucks.

Although, honestly, it's not that bad here. Think of it this way - you can make a bunch of friends you normally wouldn't of!

Re: [video]

[schrodingersghost]

....Right. Let me guess, you're an optimist.

[video]

[tuxedo_magician]

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Re: [video]

[schrodingersghost]

Nah, I'm just not a fan of the constant disappointment. It always gets worse.

[video]

[tuxedo_magician]

Eh, I guess it depends on the definition you're using for 'worse.' 'Cause if you think about it that way, things could always get 'better' too.

Re: [video]

[schrodingersghost]

Nope, can't say I've ever seen that happen. [But Danny is smirking in amusement at himself. It was at least halfway a joke. ]

[tuxedo_magician]

I should see if Lady Luck could spare you some favors then.

Re: [video]

[schrodingersghost]

Yeah, I think I'll pass on that. With my luck, it would only make everything worse.

[tuxedo_magician]

Such a pessimist, aren't you?

Re: [video]

[schrodingersghost]

I prefer to think of it as being a realist.

Re: [video]

[tuxedo_magician]

So you're definitely a glass is half-empty type of guy, aren't you?

Re: [video]

[schrodingersghost]

Make that half empty and filled with something that wants to eat me.

[It had happened before. ]

[video]

[tuxedo_magician]

That sounds like you're speaking from personal experience.

Re: [video]

[Danny waves a hand dismissively. ]

Long story. Very long story.

Lets just say there's a reason that I dread family dinners.

[Cooking with ectoplasm always made things interesting. ]

[video]

[tuxedo_magician]

And to think, I usually just dread mine because Mom is all about making them as embarrassing as possible.

[Well, no, not really. At least, not normally, since his mom would have to be around for that to happen.]

Re: [video]

[schrodingersghost]

...Well, there's that too.

[Jack and Maddie Fenton excelled in unintentional parental embarrassment. ]

[video]

[tuxedo_magician]

You too?

Good to know that I'm not the only one.
