If anyone should happen to head off to explore the castle today they might encounter a glowing teenage boy floating several feet above the ground and pushing a hand against a wall with a puzzled look to his face.

"Still solid?  Why?  I should be able to go right through this."

He isn't going very far, not without a partner anyway. Just a walk around until he notices the glowing teenage boy with white hair and a super hero uniform. Now who could that be?

"Hey?" Duo scratches the back of his head, his metal club at his side. That looked just like Danny. Same hair style, same scrawny kid form...

"When did you get super powers?"

[schrodingersghost]

He twists around and panics. "What are you talking about? I don't have superpowers. I'm just a ghost." There is a brief beat. "And we've never met before."

[stillshinigami]

He puts his hands on his hips, clearly amused.

"Really? So what's the D stand for? Doofus? Come on, Danny. It's so obvious it hurts." Well, at least he's desensitized to the whole superpower thing after having to fight off those shadows, and the magic, and everything else.

[schrodingersghost]

He glowers at him as he comes down to land. "It is not. I've fooled an entire planet for a year. And don't say that so loud."

[stillshinigami]

A whole planet? A whole entire planet?

"Kid, you're in a castle in small quarters with a bunch of other people who see you every day at breakfast. You think nobody else is gonna figure out that the white haired lookalike is you?"

A whole planet who doesn't know the real Danny Fenton, and there lies the problem.

[schrodingersghost]

"My parents never did." Even with hunting Phantom and living with Fenton. "Neither did my teachers or my classmates."

[stillshinigami]

Eh. Well that's weird then.

"Well... Sorry for being ahead of the curve?" Duo asked, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.

"It's not like you're changing your voice and bein' all... super heroic and all. You're just regular ole Danny now with some badass makeover."

[schrodingersghost]

He shrugs. "It's impossible to be both human and ghost after all. Even if anyone noticed anything they talked themselves out of it."

Danny floats up again, just enough to leave some space between his toes and the floor. "You didn't notice? My voice echoes. But do me a favor and don't mention this to anyone." He flinches. "Please? I already met one guy here who was talking about dissection. And that was when he thought I was a hallucination."

[stillshinigami]

Impossible? He wasn't even sure Ghost was the appropriate word here, so he shrugs.

"Your secret is safe with me, pal. I'm no tattle tale." He smirks as he watches the kid, then glances over towards the rest of the corridor.

"You planning on doing any exploring? I haven't seen any of my usual crew yet today.--wait. Dissection? Are you serious?"

[schrodingersghost]

"Unfortunately. Guy was some kind of mad scientist. Had a screw sticking out of his head and everything." He makes an annoyed face. "Well, random people threatening to take me apart is just like home. I just have to keep from getting cornered."

He taps the wall. "I was. But this thing is solid! I can't go through it, and I can't figure out why."

[stillshinigami]

Heh. "Aren't they all mad?" Scientists, he means. Every single one he's ever met! He sighs, trying not to look so amused as he was.

"You can go through walls?" News to him. Oh wait-- so that's why he was trying to run into a wall when they met.

"Maybe it's got to do with those shadows or something."

[schrodingersghost]

"Ghost," Danny points out. "I can walk through walls, disappear, fly, and a few other things."

[stillshinigami]

"And the walking through walls thing ain't workin' for you today?" Duo asked, pressing a hand against the cold stone.

[schrodingersghost]

"Not these walls. I can do the furniture fine." He scowls at them. "No ghost shield here. I checked."

[stillshinigami]

"There's no tech anywhere, Dan. It's just something about this place." He rubs at his brow.

"We're working on making weapons. Have you fought any of the shadows yet?"

[schrodingersghost]

"Not Dan. Danny."

He shakes his head. "I haven't run into them yet. But don't worry. I don't need any weapons."

[oversmiling]

"Should you?" Have the query coming from the smiling stranger. He looks more pleasant than genuinely interested-- but there's still a bit of intrigue in his expression as he eyes Danny.

[schrodingersghost]

Danny gives him an annoyed look. "I'm a ghost. Walking through walls is kind of my thing."

[oversmiling]

"This place does not listen to the rules of my world," Seishirou offers. "Why should it listen to those of yours?" For all that it could come across patronizing, the tone is more curious than anything else.

[schrodingersghost]

"Come on, its like a natural law. Supernatural law."

[oversmiling]

"Which are even more fluid than regular laws, I would think."

[schrodingersghost]

"Um, yeah. Which means they're harder to break."

[oversmiling]

"Nearly all laws are easy to break, if you go about it correctly."

[schrodingersghost]

"I think that qualifies as a duh."

[oversmiling]

"Then why would the laws of the supernatural be any different?" Seishirou talked in circles fairly habitually. Receiving more than giving was always ideal, in his mind, when it came to conversation, information, or nearly anything else.
