Victor's feet sank into the ground like she was walking in a fair amount of oozy mud. Her transparent hands shook slightly as she ran them back through her hair. She wasn't sure what to do.

She stood there.

And the ground reached her ankles.

Dan was in the Nexus as a short reprieve from his roommate and his, ahem, lady friend.

And he stared when he saw Victor. His face was clearly a WTF.

"Hi." She kicked at the ground, trying to get purchase. "This time it wasn't my fault."

[danieliii.livejournal.com]

"That wasn't what I was thinking," he said, still staring at her.

"...What? How?"

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

Her right foot started sinking in a bit deeper and she yanked it up, so as not to be standing lopsidedly. "Jus' what I need; t' be shorter 'n I am."

"Dunno what. How is tha' I saw a mirror. Wanted t' see th' designs around it. Ended up lookin' in and I..." She shrugged. "Nexus?" she finished weakly.

[danieliii.livejournal.com]

He held out a hand for her to grip. "Are you a ghost?" He looked confused.

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"I...don't know?" She reached out for his hand, and her fingers slipped through his palm. She looked shocked, even though, let's face it, if she couldn't stay on the ground, what made her think that she could touch him?

[danieliii.livejournal.com]

He blinked and pulled his hand away. "This is really weird."

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

She stepped back, staring at her hand. "Yeah. Yeah it is."

[danieliii.livejournal.com]

He leaned forward again and passed his hand through her waist. "Kinda cool though."

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

She giggled and reached up nimbly, hesitantly, to not-quite touch his face.

"Dude. I could so haunt people."

[danieliii.livejournal.com]

He leaned his head to try and push into her hand, crossing his eyes when her hand passed through his face. "Nah, wouldn't work. You'd need, like, chains. And a blanket. And...and sheets. Plaid sheets. And...and moaning. Can you moan?"

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

Her hands slipped through his shirt, curiously. She squirmed a bit, trying to get above-ground. It wasn't helping much.

"Plaid sheets rock." That was very much a ghost-blush. "Dunno. Never tried."

[danieliii.livejournal.com]

He grinned and tried to sort of drag at her to pull her up.

Then he blushed. "Wow. Did not mean it to sound like that."

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

She was quite not-with-the-solidness. But she grinned back and leaned up to brush her lips...well, through his cheek. She tried again, and this time she got two inches out of the ground.

"Yeah..." Awww, two blushy teens. "So...how was your day?"

[danieliii.livejournal.com]

Well he wanted to try anyway. Cos he's a good guy like that.

"Heh." Blush!

"Not bad. Classes were good but my roommate is entertaining a lady friend." He made a face. "Can I sleep at the house tonight?"

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

He's a very good guy. That made her grin. But she was still blushy from before.

"Cool. 'M glad 'bout th' classes-thing. Anytime you wanna stay over, 's cool. It's your place too. I'll pro'lly stay over, too, 'cause..." She looked down at her arms. "Can't quite go t' the dorms."

[danieliii.livejournal.com]

"That'd be really awesome. How do you know that this..." he waved a hand at her spirit-ness. "Won't wear off once you're out of the Nexus?"

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"Yep! Nooooooclue." She grinned sheepishly. "Haven't tried yet."

[danieliii.livejournal.com]

He grinned. "Ohhh well."

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"We should test that, yeah?"

[danieliii.livejournal.com]

"That would probably be a smaaart idea, yes."

[victormakesart.livejournal.com]

"Yay for smart ideas!" She looked to the nearest portal; a red door with cracked paint. "We could test this one? Then PINpoint t' th' house from there if'n I get not-ghost?"
