A. Meet the Resident Ghost:

On random nights throughout the month, a certain ghost can be found exploring the city from the sky. From the sky, because in Danny's opinion there was no better way to get to know a new city. And at night, because he wasn't so sure what kind of reception this place would give ghosts. In Keeliai he'd gotten used to the idea that no one cared. Who knew what people thought about ghosts here.

Call up to him, and he might come down for a talk.  



B. Give Us a Sign

Danny eyes the people from one of the local faiths who's just approached him with disbelief.

"Seriously?  You think I bring good fortune?  Me? This is a joke, right?"



C Whoops.

This was all too familiar.

Danny knew these whispers, the way people around him didn't meet his eyes and kept their distance. At least they weren't screaming and running away from him, but this wasn't much better.

And the worst part was that it wasn't even because of his ghost side. They didn't even know about it. No, this was because the little chirruping bird thing he could apparently summon now had hiccuped or something and shocked everything in the area.  It hadn't even damaged anything!

But now he was stuck dealing with this.

"Eh, that kind of thing happens. A lot." Danny snickers a little, amused at his own bad luck. "We're not fighting, and no one has said anything about taking over the world. I think I'm safe in counting this as one of the better random meetings I've had up here."

"That the sort of thing you have to deal with normally?"

Should a vaguely horse-and-deer looking face be able to look like it's raising eyebrows it doesn't exactly have? Maybe not, but he manages a reasonable facsimile of it.

"Every day, back home." He sighs. "I know, it gets old fast."

[choseanidiot]

"Oh yeah," Rokuta laughs again, even physically snorting briefly, "sounds like it would."

Shaking his head, he looks around, then cocks it as he looks back at Danny.

"Night's not getting any younger, and it's clear. Want to race?" There's a certain tint of amused self-assurance in his voice that he can't hide; Rokuta knows exactly how fast he is... and so, he's sure of his own victory. Not that he'd be upset about losing, either, but, well.

In response Danny only grins.

"You sure you can keep up?"

The good-natured challenge in his tone was unmistakable, with perhaps a bit of self-mockery. Danny knew his own speed, but it had also been a long time since he had pushed himself.

"I'd ask you that, but we'll see, won't we?" Tossing his head, he closed the distance between them with a few, leisurely steps, "how about we go to the edge of the city, choose a starting point, and round it?"

Seemed like a good distance to him, and going from the land-side edge of Aifaran to around the harbour and back would make it a little more interesting, since the winds closer to the sea would be different.

He rises into the air and grins as his legs reshape into a long tail that fades into translucence at the end.

"Sounds like a plan."
