[ on the one hand: holy shit. incredible. on the other hand: 5/10, could be gother ]
Seriously? Alright.
There's Tucker, I've known him since we were basically in diapers. He's a huge tech geek and he can be kind of a scaredy-cat sometimes, but he always comes through. And Sam, she's like a hardcore goth vegan, she does a lot of protesting stuff which is sometimes pretty cool, but sometimes gets us in deep trouble.
There's also Valerie. She's really cool, super driven. She's like a master at martial arts! We don't hang out as much, though, since Tuck and Sam don't really like her.
Ehhh. [ waggles hand ] Sometimes when people die, they make ghosts. Sometimes, they don't. Usually, the ones who form ghosts are the ones who, uh, went out pretty badly. But it's not like a hard and fast rule or anything.
Plus, there's plenty of ghosts who were never alive to begin with. I think they're just...ecto-energy that forms around an idea until it becomes something.
I don't think it's so important to keep it secret here, but...basically? I got electrocuted to death.
My parents built a portal to the Ghost Zone in the basement. I tried to fix it, tripped, hit the on switch while I was inside of it, and zap! I don't really get all the science behind it--I think something about dying in a ton of ecto-energy simultaneously killed me but then also brought me back to life? [ shrugs. he's not too worried about the mechanics of it! ]
Oh man, they really do. [ one of those friends literally killed him. ] They even help me out with all the ghosts that attack the town! [ she is fully responsible for his death ]
Oh yeah. It's pretty constant. Sometimes it's nothing more than the Box Ghost being a nuisance again [ rolls his eyes ] but then sometimes the whole town gets ripped out of the earth and dumped into another dimension.

There must be things you like about it, though, right?

I mean, I like seeing my friends there, but I don't exactly need school to do that!
no subject
Do you want to tell me more about them?

They don't like her? Why not?

She hates the ghost kid, Danny Phantom. She likes normal human boy Danny Fenton just fine.

Can I ask... how? Death is pretty permanent, where I'm from.

[ she doesn't really get it, rip ]
So how did you become half-ghost, Danny? Is it okay for me to ask? I promise I'll keep it secret.

[ trying not to look openly horrified ]
I... I'm really glad you're okay, Danny. [ aside from being dead ]
no subject
Oh, uh, thanks, I guess? It really wasn't that big of a deal, though! It sounds worse than it was.
no subject
[ that's a lot ]
But your friends must care about you an awful lot.

Do ghosts attack your town a lot?

I'm just lucky that my friends help out.

I hope you get time to actually be a kid, too.
