[video] backdated to last week

[gogoghostpowers]

[Danny (or rather, Cure Phantom) does not look like he has had a good time lately. The video shows him with green blood trickling out of his nose and down the side of his head. His lip is split open and starting to scab green. His eye is swollen shut through his mask. And all that aside...he's covered in scratches and his suit has minor tears all over it.

Basically, he looks like a complete wreck.]

So, uh...

The mafia told me to tell everyone to stop meddling in their business. So, there's that.

And by the way--whatever you do, don't follow a suspicious-looking guy into an alleyway. It'll just end really, really badly.

[he opens his mouth to say something else (which reveals that he's missing a tooth, too) but then decides against it. He looks down and to the side of the camera, avoiding looking at it directly, before he shuts it off.]

What happened to you?!

video

[gogoghostpowers]

I...had a bit of a run-in with someone.

Voice.

[flamberge]

[Cue a surge of worry from Karl's end just at seeing how Danny looks. After hearing what the kid says? Well, suddenly putting in a request to crack down on mob activities doesn't seem a shabby idea. Thinking about that can come later. First thing first, dealing with Cure Phantom.]

Where are you right now?

[Cause damn right is Karl getting a look at you, kiddo. Possibly healing up some of that cause Danny looks a wreck, putting it kindly. Warning: lecture will likely follow.]

[gogoghostpowers]

Uhhh.

[He's wincing a little.]

Robyn's aunt's house?

[gogoghostpowers]

Well, morons or not, I don't want people getting hurt again--and especially not because of me!

[After all the lecturing is done and over with for the moment, Robyn will send a text Danny's way.]

I'm so sorry.

Text - Private

[gogoghostpowers]

[He doesn't understand why she's apologizing, when the thugs were after him in the first place. Without him in the picture, she wouldn't have gotten hurt.]

Me too. I wish I could've done something to get us out of there sooner.

[wonk]

danny u have SUPERPOWERS how did this even happen

[gogoghostpowers]

They knew about my powers. They planned ahead for them.

[video]

[scarlet_devil]

Dracu! [She really didn't know Cure Phantom well other than what she's gotten from the internet, but the state of him was still enough to make her curse. Well, her curses tend to be in Romanian, but still...]

This is getting out of hand...

[video]

[gogoghostpowers]

I don't even know what they want from me--I wasn't getting involved in any mafia stuff at all!

I think they might know we have a--a network we use to talk to each other, or something.

[ Linda's barely able to keep herself from going on a video message and yelling at him right now. Thankfully she was smart enough to go for text instead. ]

Danny! What were you thinking!? They could've made you completely dead!

[video]

[gogoghostpowers]

I thought they were just like any other guy I've caught--just a crook who stole some lady's purse or something.

I didn't know they were specifically trying to bait me.

[notbloody]

How do I know if they are suspicious?

[That sounds like important information. You should add it. Sure, stranger danger and all, but... He seems to assume that sometimes stranger danger doesn't apply to people?]

[gogoghostpowers]

Uh. Usually if they look like they're up to no good, they're suspicious.

why would you follow a suspicious looking guy into an alleyway

let me amend that

how did you not know following suspicious looking guys into alleys was a bad idea

video

[gogoghostpowers]

I'm a superhero. It's kind of my job to follow suspicious looking guys into alleys.

[alilyinthemoonslight]

Danny! Oh my God, are you okay?!

[ Wait, no. That's a stupid question. She shakes her head. ]

No, obviously not, but... [ She frowns, and sighs. ] Had you been having run-ins with them already, or was this the first time that you know of...?

video;

[gogoghostpowers]

[He shakes his head.]

It's the first time. Or at least, if I've run into them before, I didn't know it.

[moreweaponsthanyou]

So why did you follow them in then if they're suspicious looking?

[gogoghostpowers]

Because it's kind of part of the job description for being a superhero?

[Video]

[originaloddcouple]

DANNY!

DO YOU NEED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL?!

WE'VE GOT A CAR READY JUST GIVE US THE SAY-SO!

[Video]

[gogoghostpowers]

[He winces at their shouting. He neither has the energy nor the vocal capability to actually continue this screamfest right now.]

No, no, it's okay! I think I'll be fine. It doesn't even hurt that bad any more, it looks worse than it is.

[drawitagain]

...Your blood is green.

Are you sure you're okay?

[gogoghostpowers]

[Danny waves it off nonchalantly, as if it's a total non-issue.]

Oh, yeah, my blood's supposed to be like this.

[evowhisperer]

*... It's another kid.*

Are you alright?

[video]

[gogoghostpowers]

[He nods briefly.]

Yeah, I will be. I think it--really, it looks worse than it actually is, especially now that it's been a little while.

[Voice]

[gobybessie]

For god's sake, come to the clinic.

[video]

[gogoghostpowers]

No, no, it's--I'll be fine.

I don't even know what the clinic can do for this--I think I just have to wait for it to get better now.
