[ now a hot topic nightmare, he has settled himself in the mansion lobby, armful of random items, focused on the chandelier.

He throws a billiard ball at the chandelier. It just barely misses one of the lamps and arcs back down to the floor, barely bouncing. ]

[outdistanced]

[ not hot topic but laurence isn't allowed to judge fashion. but he CAN judge whatever is happening here, watching with a frown. ]

Why.

[foreverphantom]

[ looks over to acknowledge another person there briefly ]

Why not?

[ throws another one. this one doesn't even reach high enough to get near the chandelier. ]

[outdistanced]

Because there's no point? It's a weird lamp, but who cares enough to try to wreck it just because? Doing that crap just makes this whole place worse for everyone.

[foreverphantom]

And?

[outdistanced]

You seriously want to make yourself public enemy number one? Even if you don't care about that, you're as stuck here as any of us. Do you want to live in a trash heap?

[foreverphantom]

[ i'm choking bc there's literally an entire arc where danny is canonically called public enemy number one for like an entire season ]

And what if I do?

[ did he mean that about being an enemy or living in a trash heap ]

[outdistanced]

Then go ahead, but don't drag the rest of us into it. It sucks enough that we're supposed to be dead in the first place.

[foreverphantom]

Please. That's the only upside to all this. Or it would be, if we weren't still stuck as humans.

[ throws his egg this time. it gets the right amount of height, but still no dice! ]

[outdistanced]

...Huh? What do you mean by that?

[foreverphantom]

Normally, when you die, if you stick around, you come back as a ghost. Not as a human in some weird pocket dimension.

[ welp, he's out of projectiles. goes to collect them all again. ]

[outdistanced]

And you have experience with that?

[ ?????????? ]

[foreverphantom]

Considering I was a ghost three, maybe four times over already, yeah, I'd say I have experience with it.

[outdistanced]

Four times?! So you - you died four times?! How is that even possible?!

[foreverphantom]

Time travel, partial deaths, and melding multiple people with their own deaths into one.

[ you know. the usual. ]

[outdistanced]

[ no! not the usual! ]

I've never heard of anything like that before. I don't think even Iris can do something like that.

[foreverphantom]

Yeah, well, humans usually don't have access to the Ghost Zone and all the possibilities it entails.

[outdistanced]

And you do because you've died so many times...?

[foreverphantom]

Normally I would, yes, but this time instead of dying properly and becoming a ghost, I've ended up here, still human.

[outdistanced]

Just like the rest of us. [ ... ] Most of us.

Sounds like this is different than what pretty much everyone expected, anyway, so you're not alone there.

[foreverphantom]

[ how dare you try to reassure him!!!!! ]

It's clearly a farce. We must be in the Ghost Zone somewhere, in some pocket where they've decided to play pretend that we're in "Heaven." What a joke.

[outdistanced]

Charlie already said it wasn't Heaven. So maybe you're right about this "ghost zone" thing.

...How would you know? If that's what it is.

[foreverphantom]

Because that's all there is. The Ghost Zone can be anything you make it. Pockets of it can access anything, anywhere, and you can build whatever lair you want in it. Or, in this case, themed prison.

[outdistanced]

[ so the ghost zone is as bad as it sounds, then. ]

It's not that bad here, so far. A little weird, but there's not really any trouble here.

[ except for you, problem child. ]
