Assigned to a country? What, like an ambassador?

[nightchild]

[he hesitates for a moment,

well, people are finding out this week, so...]

...I have a power, though I don't have it here. Basically, I'm being shipped off to another country so that Japan doesn't have a monopoly on ability users. It's a 'spread the wealth' kind of thing.

[gogoghostpowers]

Huh. Like...a quota of people with powers in every country? Weird.

What could you do?

[nightchild]

I can see dreams, and also give them to people.

S'not that impressive compared to stuff like controlling plants or setting things on fire, but...

[he shrugs!!!]

[gogoghostpowers]

Huh. That still sounds pretty cool, though! Do other people from your world do stuff like that? The controlling plants and setting stuff on fire, I mean.

[nightchild]

[he nods]

I know a guy who can do the plant stuff. The fire... well, it's probably a power they want to keep on the downlow. They might be afraid of scaring people.

[gogoghostpowers]

I guess...plants can do a lot of damage too, though.

[nightchild]

[heh]

Depends on the person, right? ...Though I'm pretty sure Kakeru has a sadistic streak, so maybe you're not wrong.

[gogoghostpowers]

Yeah. Power is in the eye of the beholder, or something like that.

Kakeru's the plant guy?

[ meanwhile...another bubble looms behind them!!! oh no! ]

[nightchild]

Yeah. He's the type who's really nice to everyone, but if he thinks you're worth bullying...

[something something otome tropes means you need a guy who's just a constant S -- speaking of bullying, now they're bubble vored???]

-- Oh.

[gogoghostpowers]

...great. This again. [ sighs ] Well, I already saw one of yours, so I guess I should...

[ he winces as he reaches out to press a yellow hand against the bubble, almost like he's scared to see what will come of it...which is this. (18:05-21:09) ]

[nightchild]

[THIS IS

SO MUCH?

sure Itsuki already knows that Danny comes from a place that has stuff like ghosts, but this?]

-- So you have powers too?

[gogoghostpowers]

[ with a groan, he drags his hands down his face. ] Why does it always pick the worst memories...

Uh, yeah, I guess you could say that...

[nightchild]

[he's looking at danny with amazement still]

So when you mentioned people who catch ghosts... Do you do that too?

[gogoghostpowers]

[ sighs ] Yeah...I'm actually the main one doing all the ghost catching. My parents get...sidetracked pretty easily, and I was the only other one for a while who even knew they were around to get caught.

[nightchild]

[...]

That sounds like a lot of responsibility. It looked like you were still going to school too.

[gogoghostpowers]

Oh, yeah. I was in 9th grade when that happened. I just finished 10th.

[nightchild]

[how can danny do homework and also this at the same time]

I'm assuming that you're keeping it a secret? Your ghost-catching...

[gogoghostpowers]

Uh, yeah. I mean, the ghost-catching isn't the part that needs to be kept secret, it's more the...actually being a ghost part.

[nightchild]

[i hate how dw is so borked right now

wait

what]

-- You're a ghost?

[gogoghostpowers]

[ god same, i only just got this notif ]

Uh. Yeah? How did you think I did all that stuff?

[nightchild]

...I thought you just had the power to phase.

[SOME HUMANS CAN DO THAT? MAYBE?]

So you can shift between ghost form and human form...?

[gogoghostpowers]

Uhhh...yeah.

Look, just--don't tell anyone about this, okay?

[nightchild]

...I won't. Your secret's safe with me.

[unless danny memshares it to 10 other people]

[gogoghostpowers]

[ he slumps in relief. ]

Great. Thanks.

[ don't worry about it!! ]
