1st Combo - [Video]

[A blur of red and black and a startled yell are the first things the Dreamberry picks up. The Dreamberry clatters as it hits the ground, the view spinning crazily, followed by a sharp thud and a low groan from somewhere off to the side.]

Ow...

[There's a soft scuffling as the speaker picks himself up off the ground, then...]

Man, talk about a rough landing! Is everyone all- Huh? Guys?

[Bewildered silence fills the air for a moment. Oh, look. Red boots in the Dreamberry's view.]

Where is everyone?

[The view shakes again, jostled by a careless foot.]

Huh? What's this?

[A red-gloved hand picks the Dreamberry up, then the camera comes into focus on a teenage boy's face. The worry in his warm brown eyes fades briefly as confusion takes its place. He studies the device for a moment, then frowns. With one finger he reaches out to poke something on the Dreamberry.]

I wonder what this-

[Lloyd misses that first mumbled bit - what's weird about holding buckets of water? - and instead gives a startled, somewhat alarmed blink at that end of Danny's statement.] Ghost attacks?

[phantomfenton.livejournal.com]

Um--yeah, ghost attacks.

Our town keeps getting them.

[redcladidealist]

Man, that's rough. How do you fight them back? Ghosts are pretty hard to attack physically. [He knows this from experience.] Are there magic users where you live?

[phantomfenton.livejournal.com]

Uh--no, not exactly.

My parents make a lot of ghost-fighting weapons, but we also have this one ghost that fights them back for us. He's Danny Phantom.

[redcladidealist]

A ghost that fights other ghosts? [Surprise inflects Lloyd's voice.] I thought ghosts... [Well, no, that's not entirely true. Presea's sister, Alicia... She'd been a ghost, too, but she hadn't...

Lloyd frowns.] He's a... good ghost?

[phantomfenton.livejournal.com]

Yeah! I mean--yeah, he is.

Not everyone gets it, but he just seems to want to protect Amity Park--that's the town. He never tries to hurt anyone, and when the fight's over he just disappears.

[Lloyd can't help but be a little bit skeptical, even after seeing Alicia. He's had to fight too many ghosts himself.] Are you sure? I mean, have you seen him yourself?
