savetheearth | [video] what can i say, his powers finally went to his head

[Time for a phone selfie video! I hope you like this kinda-shaky view of Danny from the shoulders up as he sits on his bed.]

Okay, so I got asked to check out the new mountain that popped up in Vegas--see if anything's in there that we ought to know about. Well...the answer's no.

[The camera shakes for a moment and when it stabilizes, Danny has a hand pressed up against the side of his head and grimacing as though he's got a bad headache.]

The place is totally empty. I didn't find anything--except for a couple of old bodies, which, uh, ew. Anyway, I don't know how much that helps, but...there you go, I guess. If that matters to--[the video shifts and looks up at where the wall and ceiling of Danny's bedroom meet.]

Hang on, I don't--why am I--Ahh!!

[There's a dull thud noise, and then silence for a few moments. Danny's hand passes over the video a few times, trying to grasp at the phone but failing. When he talks, his voice suddenly sounds very far away.]

Okay, uhhh. Change of plans. Can somebody come over here and help me find myself?

That's...one way to say it, yeah.

I'm also kind of worried I won't be able to fix this and get back to normal.

...what did you DO? I can't quite see how you did that.

I don't know! I just know that one second my head's feeling funny, and the next it's just--it's bouncing off the bed and rolling across the floor.

This is one of those magic things, right?

Can you pick up your own head again and sort of put it on your body and think real hard about attaching the two parts together?

If I could find my head again, maybe.

Which I can't.

Did you go in alone or is someone with you that can...help you find your head.

...

That sounds ridiculous. I can't believe I actually said that.

Go in alo--I'm at home right now! My parents are downstairs but they can't see this--they don't even know I'm numbered, forget about me being Cure Phantom with my head halfway across the room!

Never mind, me bad.

I don't know much about magic and I think your parents will take it ill if someone they don't know just randomly show up at your house. Um...is your girlfriend around? Assuming your parents know her..

I don't think I want my girlfriend to see me decapitated.

She knows about my powers, but that doesn't mean she needs to see this.

Is there a lot of blood or gore? If not, I think she can deal, especially if she wants you with your head together in one piece again.

--oh man, I didn't even think about that!

I better not be bleeding all over the place, how the heck am I going to clean that up?!

I think you need to worry more about finding your head and getting it reattached rather than how to get bloodstains out of things.

Right, right. Step 1, find head.

...I'd play Marco Polo with myself, but that doesn't really work in this case.

Your...head can't make any sort of noise at all? Or..roll somewhere?

Well, I can talk, or I wouldn't be able to be making this post right now.

But no, I can't roll. Kinda hard to do it when I've got nothing to get me started rolling.

I just remembered something. The last time someone had a magical mishap I told the guy to touch that other person again and think about the opposite thing they were thinking about at the time it happened. It worked.

You'll have to actually find your head again first but maybe you could try that.

... I think you really have to call someone physically able to get into your house and search for your..other part.

Huh. Thanks...I guess. I'll give it a try once my head's within arm's reach again.
