So...s-someone mentioned something about ghost jackets a while ago, right? What about ghost, uh...outfits?

[Danny cringes a little as he says it, and steps back from the camera to zoom out from his face and instead give a view of his clothing.]

It's--I don't know what this is--other than really tight--but every time I take it off, I just wake up with it already on under my PJs the next morning! This has been happening to me every day this week so far--look at this. [He swings the camera over to a view of his closet, where there is a pile of identical suits spilling out onto his bedroom floor.]

Has anyone else had this problem? Okay--I'm pretty sure someone else must've had this, at least with the ghost jackets, but I. [sigh] I just don't know what I'm supposed to do with this.

Wow. I thought these things usually disappeared and reappeared, not... clone themselves. You could put them on a truck headed out of the city.

[gogoghostpowers]

Yeah, I...don't really get it either. I take it off when I find myself wearing it again, but then the next day I'm--wearing a different one that looks like the same?

...That's a good idea though. Maybe they'll just vanish if they leave the city! I...I think. I don't really know how this works.

[espigeonage]

idk. Maybe if you took the morning one off and put it on again when you're going to bed? that'd at least stop production. Maybe.

Most things just teleport back if they've got lost or are being taken away or whatever. There was something in my niece's bag... But there's not like a storm of feathers if I let this one blow away.

Wow, dude. Sounds pretty... spandexasperating. Congrats on the haunted jammies!

Oh my god. Oh my god, Tavia, no. [He starts grinning despite himself.] This is--this is an actual problem I'm having, now's not the time for puns!

...That was a really good one though.

What! God, I'm just trying to distract everybody from the weird-ass fashion sense apparently shared by literally fucking everybody in our entire soulbond group. You have convinced me that I was absolutely totally the most fucking wrong about ever wanting us all to wear charming little tight superhero outfits, wow.

No offense.

Hey! It's--it's not that bad, is it? [He pulls at the chest of the suit, the logo distorting as he does, before letting it snap back flat against his skin.] Aside from. Looking kinda dumb.

[gogoghostpowers]

I'm a what.

[sun_sun]

A Precure. Like me. You became a magical girl.

[drama8om8]

Looking kinda dumb is that bad, you goof. And it ain't just you we are talking about here! Imagine if my spandex suit suggestion had caught on. Imagine half the network wearing shit like that.

[Whispering:] Imagine Karson wearing one.

[gogoghostpowers]

I guess so. It's probably better than just leaving it on, at least, this is really inconvenient.

I could try and take it out of the city somehow, and hope that gets rid of it. You know--at least try and get rid of my closet full of Halloween costumes.

[gogoghostpowers]

I...I thought you were joking about that magical girl stuff.

[espigeonage]

Yeah, looks like!

If that doesn't work you could take up quilting.

[sun_sun]

Yeah, me too, but it turns out it was true all along. I am actually a real life magical girl.

[gogoghostpowers]

Oh my god.

No, okay, yeah that's--thank god that we don't all have one of these. That would be terrible.

[gogoghostpowers]

Do you wear spandex as a magical girl too?

video;

[drama8om8]

You are welcome. But fortunately for everybody, I don't think the clinginess demonstrated by your outfit was mandatory! We were all over the black shit with weird-ass symbols, though. All over it.

[ ... ]

Is your symbol a D. Is that what it's supposed to be.

video;

[gogoghostpowers]

I...I think so? I don't know why, though--or why part of it's missing on the bottom.

Why, what symbols did you have?

video;

[drama8om8]

No idea, dude. But I remember a guy with an orangey browny... circle thing? Like a little face with horns, I guess. And a girl with a pink H. But that ain't important! What is important is that you got The D.

The D, Danny.

THE D.

video;

[gogoghostpowers]

Oh my god. Oh my god, I got the D! [He's pulling at it again, trying to get it off TO NO AVAIL.]

I don't even want the D! Why do I have it?

video;

[drama8om8]

You don't just have the D! You have all the D. Your stockpile of the D is constantly mounting. Reproducing, if you will!

Your superpower is summoning-slash-producing the D, Danny. You may not want the D, but the D definitely wants you.

[gogoghostpowers]

[every time he thinks his life has reached a new low, it gets even lower. He is hiding his face in his hands.]

I can't even get rid of it...

I don't even--why is it a D anyway?! That--that doesn't even make any sense!

video; 1/3

[drama8om8]

Getting rid of the D would be super unwise, duh. And of course it makes sense! D could have been the first letter of your name. Sometimes it stays the same! Like Karson was Karkat, and Travis was Tavros, and Soren was Sollux and stuff. Maybe some of us had the first letter of our names as our symbols or som--

[drama8om8]

Wait.

Oh my god.

Oh my god no.
