danny closed his eyes as he let the silver rings of his transformation wash over his body, tension leaking from his shoulders as they swept him from head to toe. he'd been afraid, if he was being honest, that they wouldn't appear at all. not with how weird his powers had been ever since he'd appeared in this place. a sigh of relief left his lips as the beat of his heart was replaced by the hum of his ghost core, a familiar sensation he half thought he'd lost forever. opening his eyes, danny smiled, inspecting his gloved hands before pressing them to his cool face. yep, he was a ghost alright. so it was with a bounce in his gait that he took a step, then two, then launched himself into the air, excited to swap his legs for a ghostly tail and let gravity fall away to soar high above the gleaming city.
except, gravity didn't fall away. instead, phantom found himself hopping into the air—before promptly crashing to the ground in a tangle of limbs and a puff of forcefully exhaled air. that... definitely wasn't supposed to happen.
❝ Man... ❞ danny sat up, frowning as he wiped dirt off his jumpsuit. ❝ At least nobody saw that. ❞ really, he should know his luck was never that good.
