[WOW SO MUCH IS HAPPENING buzen is energized all over again!! he's poking through the phone and then tilting his head when he sees danny]

Oh, Dan-san...! [his name on his profile is daniel so this is what we get i'm shaking]

Can I ask what a Wis is? And why is yours 8?

[gogoghostpowers]

[ Danny startles a little ]

Okay, first off? It's Danny. Not Daniel, and never Dan.

Second...I have no idea. [ squints at his own profile ] Something about wizards, maybe? ...Is 8 good?

[hasteful]

Oh! Danny-san. [nods, easily corrected]

I'm not sure! I think I saw numbers go as high as 20 and low as 2. I'm still not entirely clear on what they mean.

[gogoghostpowers]

Oh. 8 is bad, then. [ wince ] Here's hoping it stands for, like...wispy. I'm not very wispy.

What about you? What's your wis-- [ checks his phone ] --14?! Oh, come on!

[hasteful]

[oh,]

Hahaha, that's okay! I don't know if being wispy is going to help me much!

I have an 8 Int anyway.... So hopefully it's not too bad for either of us?

[gogoghostpowers]

Yeah, but like all your other numbers are super high! What gives!

[hasteful]

[he hums thoughtfully]

Maybe they're based on the typical human standards? If it is, then I'm not surprised this body was made to be a little bit stronger than that.

week 0, saturday

[hasteful]

[HE'S NYOOMING AROUND REALLY BAD AFTER TRIAL like running from his problems will help everything!!!!!

and he'll run right into whatever location danny is so long as it's not the apartments - ]

Oh! Danny-san... Hi.

[gogoghostpowers]

[ let's say danny is mmmmmm rifling through drawers in the medbay. well, not anymore, he isn't. ]

Whoa--hey, Buzen. Uh, what's up?

[hasteful]

[he pauses at that and then will look around the medbay]

Nothing in particular... Guess I was just tired of staying in one room for that long, so I've been running around.

What're you up to?

[gogoghostpowers]

Just...looking around, I guess. Seeing what we have here.

...we really were cooped up there for a while, huh? Even if we did get to take little, uh, field trips out for a bit.

[hasteful]

[ . . . buzen just huffs a bit at that]

We did, but I can't say mine was too pleasant.

I was a little preoccupied during the last bit of trial so - sorry for not catching all the announcements. [marie happened so much] But would it be right to assume yours wasn't either?

[gogoghostpowers]

Uh, yeah. Mine didn't go so hot either. Not, uh, trying to kill someone bad [ he winces as he says it ] but. Bad enough that we needed Steel to bail us out. I'm not sure we would've gotten out if not for them.

[hasteful]

They were able to get you?

[buzen raises his eyebrows at that]

... if it's hard to talk about right now, we don't have to, but...

I wonder if getting a bit of help will open their eyes a little to how uncomfortable those situations can be.

week 1, friday

[hasteful]

[deda! deda! deda! anyway buzen is wandering around - he's a bit sharper than he usually is, less of the usual friendly dog energy

though he'll still pause when he sees danny]

Oh Danny-san - I'm glad you're okay. Have you found anything?

[gogoghostpowers]

I...think so? Maybe?

[hasteful]

[ ? ]

Maybe...? Are you alright?

[gogoghostpowers]

I'm fine. I just...I saw footprints at the carnival when I was over there earlier, but they're gone now.

w1, saturday

[gogoghostpowers]

[ well. here's danny on the apartment rooftop, sitting there with his hands laced around his knees and just staring off into the dark blank sky. ]

[hasteful]

[oh his emo era

buzen will at least wander over at some point, curious]

Danny-san? You alright...?

[gogoghostpowers]

[ please, you have not even BEGUN to see his emo era

At the sound of Buzen's voice, he looks over and blinks, as if suddenly becoming aware of the world around him. ]

Huh? Oh, hey. Yeah, I'm...okay.

[hasteful]

[ . . . well

buzen will just wander over and go to sit by him then!]

... it's okay if you aren't, you know.

[gogoghostpowers]

Yeah. Sure.

But, you know, it's not like I'm the one who got killed or anything.

[hasteful]

[gently:] ... I'm pretty sure there's a wide range of emotion between 'doomed to death' and 'okay'.

You can still feel whatever you are - while acknowledging you're still alive.

[gogoghostpowers]

[ shrugs a shoulder a little ]

I mean, am I mad, and upset, and scared? Yeah, sure.

But that's not gonna help us figure out what's going on and how to stop it.
