[video] [let's get this double intro party started]

[Well, hello there, community. Today you get to see a glowing purple and blue guy who seems to have an unhealthy obsession with clocks, to the point of having one embedded in his chest; he's even got a staff with stopwatch perched atop it. Also, he's floating. And peering at the screen.]

Strange... this certainly connects both separate timelines and different times themselves. What I don't understand is how. Or why it would deem fit to show itself now.

[Suddenly there's the sound of, well, condensed high speed, as if something is barreling towards aforementioned floating person with the intention of punting his head from his shoulders.]

[Mr. Glow doesn't seem all that concerned. Just as a blur of black and white zooms into view - wait wait, did the floating guy just teleport? And instantaneously, too, without any flashy lights or anything. Although, oddly enough, he's just lifting a finger from the button on that stopwatch.]

[In any case, he's about two feet further away now, which causes said fast object to receive a speeding ticket via crashing into a wall just offscreen. Everything shakes.]

Good morning, Dan.

[There is a burst of swearing, interspersed with... the names of baked goods, for some reason. Finally, it's topped with a -] ...I hate you. So much. [This is followed by another groan as a second figure strides onscreen, rubbing the back of his head. Conveniently enough, he is also glowing. And floating. Do you spy a trend here?]

Settle down. We seem to have attracted some sort of multi-chronological focal point. Speaking of which...

[The first person glides forward and leans down over the screen again.] Is there anyone on the other side of this connection? Hello?

[OOC: Comments will be replied to by either character once mun gets some sleep. Also, you may want to fill out Clockwork's permissions post. Will be tagged with characters whenever space frees up.]

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

[her curiosity and interest are piqued. these two vaguely remind her of stagnated souls, but it's obvious they aren't from her world.]

... What are you? [so much for a polite greeting]

[On one hand, FUCK YEAH CLOCKS.

On the other hand, Scratch is still human and uuuugh he is kind of unsure about starting a conversation with someone he doesn't know if he'll ever be able to read.]

Omni-chronological and spatial.

There are a lot of others here.

Yes. There's lots of people, actually.

Yes, there is someone else here.

[Eyeing you so hard]

[HELL YES CLOCKS ARE AMAZING. And no need to worry, Doc Scratch, all you have to do is figure out he likes acting all mysterious and then's he very, very easy to understand.]

Really. [Said in tones of great interest.] I always suspected there were dimensions other than the human world and the Ghost Zone. Unless, of course, you're referring to the Ghost Zone's sub-dimensions. [Which would be rather disappointing.]

[After a moment, he tilts his head.] Excuse me, but if you don't mind me asking, are you a human? You sound like one, but... slightly off.

Ah, good to know. Is this connection the work of someone using it, or am I not the only one linked in inadvertently?

[Please don't be disturbed by him suddenly shifting ages in front of you, this is a perfectly normal occurrence and not a reason for panic.]

[Meet second floaty guy, completely unperturbed by your rudeness.]

Ghosts.
And what are you?

[Sorry, Jorgen, but you get to deal with the ill-tempered one today.]

...well, what is it? Something on my face or are you just having difficulties with your eyesight today?

Are there.

[He looks decidedly unimpressed by your... pinkness. But he might as well mess with you while Clockwork is distracted by somebody else, right?]

[guh, that question always stumps her. her kind doesn't have a name, aside from that one, and that one isn't meant to be shared.]

Not human. [vague, but the truth.]

Good for you. You don't want to be a human, they're boring. Unless you're blowing them up. I should know.
And you're probably not a ghost either, unless you're a very confused one.

Really? I think humans are interesting.

No, I'm sure I'm not a ghost.

But they can't even fly or go intangible or anything. And most run away screaming at the first sign of danger. Boooring.
...then again, I suppose the screaming is sort of nice.

So what are you, an alien or something? [He actually seems mildly interested by this.]

It's that fear that makes them intriguing, among other things. Humans can feel so much.

I'm not an alien either.

Humans aren't the only ones who can feel emotions. If that's what you consider interesting.

Then what are you? Quit being all mysterious, I get enough of that from Clockwork already.

I know. [but she never realized that before finding the community]

[if he wants a more specific answer? then] Something between life and death.

But not a ghost.
...you sure you're not just very confused?

I'm very certain.

[He shrugs.] Fine. Sure.

Who are you, anyways?

The one and only Dan Phantom. Destroyer of civilizations, scourge of the Ghost Zone, etcetera etcetera etcetera. [Well someone has a high opinion of themselves.]

And currently stuck with this guy - [he points over his shoulder with a thumb at the other ghost, floating in front of a different screen] - but only because I haven't figured out how to blast him before he freezes time yet. Give me another week or so.

[But she has to watch and it's easy to forget he asked a question.] ...What are you doing?

... [UNIMPRESSED]

[HE DOESN'T CARE]

And you are? Besides the not a ghost thing?
