[Danny was lost again.  He could remember being so happy as a full ghost. He'd had friends and things to do and a afterlife that he enjoyed. He hadn't had any of the doubts that constantly weighed him down as a half ghost.

He'd been free.

And there was a small part of him that wanted nothing more than to go back to that. What was wrong with him?

He was still half-human, right?  How could he have been so happy as a ghost?]

Yeah, so... Week stuck in magic school as a full ghost.  Just another happy therapy inducing memory, courtesy of the castle.

Thanks a lot.

It really wasn't.

[Oh my god why is this place so fucking WEIRD? At least the zombie infested hellhole made some sense. More than Castle McCrazyface, anyway]

What? A-are you an actual ghost or something? Is that a thing that can...happen here?

[schrodingersghost]

I'm half.

And it didn't happen here, thank you very much.

[indirectcause]

Shit, man. I'm sorry, I didn't know.

[He does sound at least genuinely apologetic. Welp, here he is being the best at making friends again. God damnit him and his mouth]

...Wait, half?

[schrodingersghost]

Yeah, half. What, going to call me a freak or something?

[indirectcause]

N-no. I just- How exactly do you become half a ghost?

[schrodingersghost]

Oh, that parts easy. Just get fried by enough electricity to fuse ghost energy into your DNA.

[indirectcause]

Well, that's-

[...That is so fucked up]

That sure is something.

[schrodingersghost]

Not really something I recommend. Plus I'm not entirely sure how I survived without being hospitalized for life, so....

[indirectcause]

Yeah. That sounds like it'd probably do that for you.

[Wow, he feels even worse for insulting the guy now. He really needs to pick his words more carefully]

Sorry again. Really not trying to rag on ghosts or anything. We don't exactly have them where we come from.

[Only zombies. Which aren't fun. Ever]

[schrodingersghost]

Now that? That is weird. Just how many worlds are there out there that don't have ghosts?

[indirectcause]

I don't know man. Maybe there were, and no one saw them. [But he doubts it, he really doubts it]

Whatever it is, they're sure not around now.

[schrodingersghost]

Nah, most of the ghosts I know like attention. The more of it the better.

[indirectcause]

[A few months ago, he would have called bullshit on that. But what ISN'T possible, really?]

Any particular reason for that?

[schrodingersghost]

They really like attention?

[indirectcause]

They don't get anything else out of it? Energy? Something like that?

[schrodingersghost]

Some of them do. Ember get power from people saying her name. Have you ever tried to stop a rock concert audience from chanting a rock star's name? It isn't easy.

[indirectcause]

[Danny what the hell world do you live in even]

Geez, I'd say it'd be pretty impossible. So you, what, keep them in check?

[schrodingersghost]

[One filled with ghost villains with quirky personalities.]

Yeah, pretty much. Just call me a glorified babysitter.

[indirectcause]

Huh. Well, I sure don't envy you at all.

[schrodingersghost]

Who would?

[indirectcause]

I'm sure some crazy person would.

[schrodingersghost]

You're probably right about that. People can be really dumb sometimes.

[indirectcause]

Tell me about it, man.
