mun has been marathoning old superhero cartoons...

[ordinarily]

... So, wait. You've been watching my show, along with Kim Possible, Batman Beyond, Static Shock, and Teen Titans. And you wanna combine all of them now?

[ What? You got a problem with superhero crossovers? ]

Actually? Yeah.

In case you haven't noticed, I'm already busy enough dealing with ghosts. I seriously don't need a bunch more weirdos showing up and bringing their own sets of whacked-out villains for me to have to deal with.

Do you even know what you're doing with this? Like, at all?

[ Silence. ]

... I'm gonna take a stab in the dark here, and say 'no'.

[cuttingedgetech]

I dunno, sounds like a slice time to me.

[ordinarily]

... I... did you just...

[ Dear lord, is that what he sounds like when he makes a pun? Because if it is, then that's it, he's done. ]

[cuttingedgetech]

Delight you with shear charm? I hope so.

[ordinarily]

Oh my god stop.

[cuttingedgetech]

You mean you want me to cut it out?

[ordinarily]

NO. I SAID STOP.

STOP WITH THE BAD PUNS.

[cuttingedgetech]

Is it because you can't keep up with my sharp wit?

[ordinarily]

Yeah, sure, we'll go with that.

[cuttingedgetech]

Don't sweat it kid, not everyone can make the cut.

[And you thought he was done.]

[ordinarily]

[cuttingedgetech]

[memory_of_fire]

I figured we would be pretty routine for you by now.

[ordinarily]

Well, some of you are. But there's still a few of you that like to keep making things difficult.

... You're somewhere in between. [ No, wait. ] Maybe a bit closer to the "difficult" side.

[ Because really, getting his parents' ghost shield and kidnapping everyone's parents onto a ghost ship is kind of... yeah. ]

[memory_of_fire]

Well you'll find I'm a little more tame here. Being out of our universe has had an effect on my mood I think.

[ordinarily]

... I'm noticing that.

[ Mostly because their conversation hasn't devolved into her trying to kick his ass. ]

[memory_of_fire]

Maybe it has to do with being entirely disconnected from one of my reasons for staying in the living world?

I've never been one for making theories. Either way I don't feel as angry. Really I've been messing with Vlad than I've been messing with versions of you here.

[ordinarily]

I'm sorry, you had me at "messing with Vlad".

[memory_of_fire]

I thought you would approve.

[ordinarily]

What can I say, I appreciate good art.

[memory_of_fire]

I do have a little theory about Vlad though, since I got filled in on his origins a little.

[ordinarily]

[ Wait, what? ]

... Really? What uh, what kind of theory?

[memory_of_fire]

He's as irrational as he is because he's more ghostly than alive. He "died" with a vengeful reason to stick around. You just accidentally pressed a button

[ordinarily]

[ Give Danny a moment here. ]

... That... actually makes a lot of sense, when you put it like that.

[memory_of_fire]

I started thinking about that after I realized I wasn't as likely to do the things I do in our world.

Heck I'm even kind of happy for Sam.

[ordinarily]

Well, I mean, I knew ghosts kind of had... obsessions, sort of. [ Correction: Sam knew, Danny only half-listened. ] I just didn't think that... changed if you were somewhere else. Or if that applied to someone who's only half-ghost.

... Also, what?

[memory_of_fire]

Well look at it this way, half the reason I stuck around was because I was stood up by some jerk shortly before I died. Now I'm not even in the same universe as him so I'm thinking more clearly.

What I mean is I'm happy you two love birds finally got together.

[ordinarily]

[ Yeah that's nice about the whole not-in-the-same-universe thing, Danny's gonna focus more on the when-did-he-and-Sam-get-together bit. Since he's from Season 2. ]

W-Wait, no, I-- I mean, she's not-- she's not my girlfriend, okay?! We're.. just friends, and that's it! We haven't gotten together! [ ... Yet. ]

[memory_of_fire]

Oh damn I think I spoiled the surprise about the future.

Don't worry I'm not going to make fun of you, I'm just glad the girl found somebody to treat her decently.

[ordinarily]

I uh... I... um... thank you...?

[ Danny's not necessarily sure how to respond to this. ]

[memory_of_fire]

[She laughs.]

So when is the last time you remember seeing me? So I have some idea of when you're from.

[ordinarily]

... Pirate ship.

[memory_of_fire]

Wow then you haven't even learned about the one day a year we won't mess with you in our universe.

[ordinarily]

Oh, wait, no, I remember that too.

Sorry it all just kind of... runs together after a while.

[memory_of_fire]

Yeah it's okay. We barely talked considering we had to deal with that Ghost Writer jerk.

Assuming you go back, do you plan to actually attend the party this year?

[ordinarily]

[ ... This is kind of awkward, when Danny thinks about it. Mostly because he's not sure how to feel about going to a party full of people who normally want to kick his ass. ]

Uh... maybe? I uh, I'll think about it.

[memory_of_fire]

[She shrugs.]

Might be a more effective a ghost hunting strategy than throwing us in the Ghost zone where we'll get out.

[guano]

[ordinarily]

Hey, I didn't think it up, okay?

[madangry_madcrazy]

[ordinarily]

Oh great. The fruitloops are already showing up.

[madangry_madcrazy]

Excuse me?

[ordinarily]

The mad scientist convention is that way.

[goffik]

Crossovers huh? Sounds kinda messy if you ask me.

[ordinarily]

Yeah, tell me about it.
