 [Video]

So last night I turned into a dog.

And yes, before you ask. Pretty sure I was still a ghost.

[Danny grimaces.]

I am really, really hoping that this is not a new ghost power. It was hard enough getting used to being a human ghost.

So... anyone else have a weird night?


[Action]

Later in the day, Danny could be found wandering around Genessia City and Everglade in the shape of a faintly glowing and rather clumsy terrier. Walking on four legs was hard to get used to, okay?

Unrelated question but sort of related. How do you keep from accidentally phasing through the floor?

voice;

[schrodingersghost]

Mostly concentration. [Which explained a lot of why Danny had spent the first few months after becoming a ghost randomly walking through furniture, sinking into the floor and dropping fragile objects through his hands. ]

Why?

voice;

[stairsbro]

Concentration on the floor or being a solid instead of a gas? Is it a gas? I don't know. I think I'm an odorless one, in any case.

[ beat ]

Because I must've died or something and went hella spirit-y. I don't know. I guess if you're also a dog there's just shenanigans afoot. What's it like being a dog? Did you go full dog? How do ghost dogs work?

[schrodingersghost]

A little of both. You have to remember that the floor is supposed to be solid and you have to remember to think about being solid. All the time. [Danny makes a face.]

It takes a while to get used to it.

...Weird. Maybe something is going on then. [ He shrugs. ] All the way into the dog. But it wasn't quite the same as the ghost dogs I've met before. For one thing, I wasn't green.

[stairsbro]

Man. This sounds like such a pain in the ass. Can't I just leave the ghosting to you? I'm not even visible half the time.

[ SIIIIIIIGHHHH ]

What kind of dog? My friend was sort of a dog.

[purrinpumpkin]

[A black cat with a witches hat walked gracefully along a nearby fence. Dogs weren't exactly her most favorite thing, but this one looked really weird].

You're a funny lookin' mutt.

[Of course, most dogs can't talk either, so she wasn't expecting much]

Re: [action]

[schrodingersghost]

[It takes Danny a bit of concentration to figure out how to talk. But... dog or not, he was still a ghost. He was still made out of ghost energy. Things like biology and physics didn't always apply.]

Gee, thanks. That's exactly what I always wanted to hear on my first day as a dog.

[action]

[purrinpumpkin]

Huh, first day?

[Blair sat upon the fence, licking a front paw while she pondered briefly]

You're too old to be a puppy~

Re: [action]

[schrodingersghost]

Usually, I'm a human ghost.

Re: [action]

[purrinpumpkin]

Oh, you mean like a soul!

[Blair jumped down from the fence to get a better look at this strange creature]

Nyaa, you still kinda smell like dog~ [giggle]

Action!

[enchantressofore]

[ A dog?

Adela's attention immediately shifts to Danny, a brow raised before she kneels down near it, frowning thoughtfully. It might be noted that she's clutching a cloak tightly around her body (and her back looks a little deformed under it??) and has sprouted two spiral horns. ]

Hello there... Are you lost?

[ She's not even sure if the dog can understand her, but she can at least get it to the shelter if needed right? ]

Re: Action!

[schrodingersghost]

[The dog purposefully shakes its head, and slowly scratches a few words in the dirt. ]

Not usually a dog.

[enchantressofore]

[ Ah. ]

I should assume it is for the same reason I woke up with these, then?

[ She'll tap on her horns briefly so that the dog can see what she means. ]

[schrodingersghost]

[He scratches out another lines of text. ]

Not sure. Is this kind of thing normal around here?

[enchantressofore]

If it is normal, I have not yet been here long enough to see much of it. At least, not to this extent.

[ Sure, there was the illness in Attleton, but it still was nothing like the curse... ]

I would not think it happens often.

[wizard_redfive]

[Oh thank goodness, ghost buddy. Exactly who Dairine needed at this very moment.]

Definitely not just you.

[The video isn't showing much, just the ceiling. Dairine is sort of in a fix... and is having a little trouble getting it set up. But Danny might recognize her voice.]

Re: Video

[schrodingersghost]

Why? Did something happen to you too?

[He sort of recognized the voice. ]

Re: Video

[wizard_redfive]

Good guess.

[A thumbs up shifts in view of the screen. However, the hand is noticeably see-through.]

Re: Video

[schrodingersghost]

So.... I'm guessing the ghost population just got an increase?

Video

[wizard_redfive]

Yup. At least by one, though I wager there's more than just me.

[Yugi couldn't use the device to speak to anyone, he couldn't even turn the phone one due to how it worked and well... being full on ghost all the time kind of stops it from happening. So instead Yugi usually spent his time trying floating around trying to get his bearings.

That was until a rather clumsy terrier. He knew it wasn't the case, but they kind looked like they were drunk. So floating over he went to lean over.]

Do you need help?

action;

[schrodingersghost]

[Now one of the convenient things about being a ghost, was that it was basically just energy. Things like biology and physics didn't always apply. And even if he was a dog now, Danny was still a ghost dog. All it takes is a moment of concentration and figuring out how shapeshift just enough for speech.]

Nah, unless you know any tricks for walking with four legs. And here I thought intangibility was tough.

action;

[sizedoesntmatter]

Admittedly, I do not know any tricks for that. If one could talk to dogs, maybe that would be a different matter.

[But he didn't know of anyone like that if he had to be honest., scratching his cheek for a brief moment, he looked over.]

But I guess you were affected by whatever other people have.

Re: action;

[schrodingersghost]

Eh, haven't tried talking to any actual dogs yet. [He snorts.] I'm guessing not. There's no way I'd be lucky enough to actually get something useful out of this.

Yeah, I've been kind of getting that idea.

action;

[sizedoesntmatter]

Did anyone really get anything useful out of it? I don't think I did.

[But it wasn't like he thought it was a bad thing, though he wondered if it meant people thought he had actually died and just couldn't come back for one reason or another.]

Just gotta try and make the most of it.
