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?

...Danny?

Do I... want to ask what just happened...?

That's a relief. We're about to drive out there and, uh, try and get in. It...well, it belongs to my family. As much as you can own a mountain, anyway.

[A pause]

You okay?

That's...good news. Thanks a lot.

But...are you okay?

Well. Uh.

I think my head fell off.

...I don't know where my head is.

No problem. Uh.

[he gives a thumbs up, which you can kind of make out at this awkward camera angle?]

I'm okay as in like, I'm not hurt or anything. I'm just really confused right now.

[A pause]

Have fun with that one. I wish I could help but we're seriously about to leave.

Wait--are you serious?! Like, right now?

Maybe like, ten minutes from now but yeah. I told you, the mountain is ours. We need to go and actually see it.

[ oh ]

Oh.

Um.

...oh.

[ Give her a moment here. ]

Yeah, I kind of have no idea where my head is right now. I can barely hear these responses as it is.

[and you can't even take a short break to find my head for me???]

...Are--are you taking the teleporter?

Well. Ah. Logically... logically that must mean it's close, right?

[ Because anything about this situation is logical. ]

Okay so I just creeped on all the other replies here and nobody made a joke about you losing your head yet?

[MUFFLED DANNY SCREAMING IN THE DISTANCE]

TAVIA I SWEAR TO GOD

What! It's like. Super obvious. Same with jokes about how you're a no-body now! What the fuck is wrong with these people?

Tavia my sister might come home at any time and see a decapitated superhero in her brother's bedroom!

And that's a problem because...? Trauma during childhood builds character!

Well, I think it's still in the room.

...unless it rolled out into the hallway, oh my god my parents better not find my head rolling down the stairs.

Okay, first off? Older sister. She's in college. Second off? I do not want to be the reason she has to spend the next ten years of her life in therapy!

It can't have gone that far! It was just there!

Well, I don't know! I tried playing Marco Polo with my head, but it doesn't work when your ears are attached to the same thing your voice is coming from!

If she's in college then she can just shrug that shit off, god! Seriously. This is a no-brainer.

Like, literally.

Because your head fell off.

Just--ugh, tell me how to fix this!

Is this a weird gray alien thing we can do, or what?

Shrug!

[ Yes, she just said "shrug." Out loud. ]

I know I don't remember doing it. but from what I do remember we all had way different powers anyway! So I guess this is yours. Lucky you.

Can you like. See your body from where your head is? Or are you facing the floor.
