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."

"Aaaand that doesn't look like it's a viable option, does it?" Duo said as he started on down the hall.

"Come on." This way. Follow him.

[schrodingersghost]

"Hey! Wait up!" Danny twists in the air and launches himself after him.

[stillshinigami]

Duo continues on down the corridor and up some familiar steps where he'd gone with Duo and Toph before. He isn't entirely sure, but he might as well go check out that trolley and that crane thing.

He looked back at the spandex clad youth briefly, then turned his attention ahead. He was looking a bit more cautious now, keeping his eyes ahead but also turning back to look behind them.

[schrodingersghost]

Danny swoops forward after him, looking around cautiously. He didn't like the idea of not being able to escape through the walls if needed.

[stillshinigami]

"So you haven't seen the shadows before?" He grinned up at the kid, trying to push up his morale a bit.

[schrodingersghost]

"No? But how tough could they be?" After all the things he'd fought going up against something with a name like shadows seemed kind of lame.

[stillshinigami]

"About as tough as you talk." Duo quipped, heading on into another room with a chain on the other side. Damn this stuff.

"You can't just fly my over to that ledge?"

[schrodingersghost]

"Oh. Right." He flies over and holds a hand out. "You don't get airsick, do you?"

[stillshinigami]

"Kid, I was born in outerspace. I think I can handle a little superhero flying." He held his hand out and took Danny by the wrist in a strong grip.

[schrodingersghost]

"...Seriously? That's awesome!" But getting back on topic, Danny frowns and spreads his weightlessness over to Duo.

[stillshinigami]

Him living in space? THIS. This was awesome. He just kinda fell off his feet, his hand free arm and legs kinda scrambling for a foot hold before realizing he didn't need to.

"Well, isn't this convenient? Air Danny. I shoulda booked sooner!"

[schrodingersghost]

"I prefer to call it Air Phantom." Danny adjusts his grip on Duo's wrist and heads off across the room at a decent speed.

[stillshinigami]

"Punny. Very Punny. Bet you're full of those." Duo replied as he was shuttled over to the other side.

"There's a trolley system over here. Not sure if we can use it though."

[schrodingersghost]

"It's good practice for my witty banter." Danny looks around for a good place to drop him off.

"What's a trolley?"

[stillshinigami]

Duo gestures down on an area of of flat stone on the platform. There was a door leading outside.

"It's a train... cart. Thing." Duo shrugged. "There's a cart and some tracks. There's also a crane."

[schrodingersghost]

"...Weird. So this castle has an indoor train?" He drops down to land on the platform.

[stillshinigami]

"We still haven't seen where it leads. Frankly I'd rather have someone who can save my ass if the ground falls under my feet for no damn reason." He pauses a the door, glancing back at him.

"What is it with superheroes and witty banter?"

[schrodingersghost]

"...Hey, if it works don't knock it."

Danny stares dubiously at it. "Wouldn't it be easier to just fly?"

[stillshinigami]

"I'm not. Kinda jealous though. All of my banter and one liners went unheard where I come from. It's not like they heard me on a one sided transmission." Duo replied, then reached over and pulled Danny forward to activate the door.

"If we fly, we might miss something."

[schrodingersghost]

"Like what?"

He makes an effort to stay tangible as Duo touches him.

"Most ghost villains prefer the personal touch to their villainous plots."

[stillshinigami]

"Beats me." Duo shrugged. Far as he knew ghosts really had nothing to do with it.

However, "That's one thing I get. My enemies tended to veer in that direction too."

[schrodingersghost]

"...What kind of enemies do you have?"

[stillshinigami]

"The totalitarian government kind." Duo said, not bothering to go into any real depth. Danny didn't need to know the details.

[schrodingersghost]

"Great. Government stuff."

[stillshinigami]

Duo shook his head.

"Heh. Yeah. Government. Don't they suck?" He shrugs and moves on forward to the other half of the room, off to the roof where they saw the tracks.
