#But it had some fun stuff

Somewhere different, something new || SpiritTea

I know I wanted somewhere that would be different to the city, thought Sen through a daze, but I wasn't quite expecting this.

This was the charming if remote village of Yokae, which she had rolled into two days before in the dead of night - that unfortunate pre-dawn stage where it wasn't even just late or middle of the night but edging towards being simply very early the next morning, and she'd spent most of the walk through town half listening to Miko's patter and mostly thinking oh spirits how little sleep am I going to have to meet all my new neighbours on??

It was a small, sleepy village; a little run down in places but overall very...quaint. Picturesque. Just what she'd been looking for: somewhere without the distractions of the city, and without the price tag of a city apartment to go with it. She could deal with living in an old fashioned house for the amount she was paying for it, even if it was going to take some getting used to, and the walk from one end of the village to the other if she wanted a cup of coffee was probably good for her all things considered. The silence was probably the hardest thing to adjust to, as she tossed and turned and tried to get used to sleeping on a futon. In the city there was always noise - the roar of traffic outside, even at night, the blare of sirens in the distance or too-loud chatter of people meandering home in varying levels of inebriation. In Yokae, the only sound was the creak of the roof in the wind and the rustle of leaves, the occasional chirping of an insect. When a fox barked in the distance Sen found herself sitting up, heart racing, as she tried to place where she was.

It had turned out to be a good thing she'd braced herself for handling introductions while bleary eyed, because there was a strong implication that if she didn't meet them all on the first day there was going to be Some Kind Of Problem. And in a place with apparently only twenty-five residents - twenty-seven if you included the dogs, which she did - she really, really didn't want to be known as “the rude one”. She knew what reputation city-folk often had in places like this, and was determined not to fall into it. With a population this small, making a bad impression on anyone would surely get spread around, and before she knew it everyone would be side-eying her and muttering about how she was anti-social and didn't fit in.

That would come anyway, she was sure, once she was out of her writing rut and head down in a project and forgetting that things like eating and shopping and sleeping and going outside were needed. Sen would need all the good feeling she could get when the inevitable flow of inspiration caught her, so that no one would take it personally and might even knock on her door occasionally to check she was in fact alive.

So: Yokae, initially, seemed about what she was expecting.

Then came the floating cat, which she was definitely blaming on the local tea. But the idea that it was a hallucination was - well. It was appealing, but she honestly wasn't sure how this would be what her brain came up with. And she had, absolutely, seen a rice ball float up into the air and vanish in chunks as though something was eating it just the day before. 

Working theory seemed to be that the floating cat was, in fact, real, and that she was, in fact, somehow becoming responsible for running a bathouse. Another point in favour of the cat being real was the pile of towels it had floated into and sent crashing to the ground, because that seemed like the kind of thing a floating cat would definitely do and it wasn't like she'd imagined the towels for it to be a hallucination. She could pick them up and feel the rough texture, and she was pretty sure she couldn't imagine that so convincingly.

So: Yokae, on examination, a little different to original expectations.

Sen scurried to and fro as ordered, carving chunks out of a regrowing root to fuel the boiler and alternating between washing and drying towels, leading spirits over to the steaming tub and trying desperately to work out which ones would be offended by sitting next to each other. Because apparently this was her life now.

So much for free of distractions.

There are no more heroes.

Well, okay. Rewind a bit.

Danny has been doing the hero thing for a while now. He’s had a big reveal; everyone has accepted him (including his parents), the GIW disbanded, the Anti-Ecto acts repealed, and generally, everything is going great. Some of the A-Listers are even training as junior ghost hunters to help give him a break from his rogues! (Being Ghost King makes things hectic sometimes, and he just needs the extra help. Sue him!)

The point is, literally nothing is wrong with Danny Phantom’s afterlife.

And then Valerie Gray, the Red Huntress, disappears in front of his eyes.

Danny is baffled! She’s just…gone! Valerie just popped out of existence, like she was never there. But no matter how hard he searches in the Ghost Zone, he can’t find her soul anywhere. His core isn't broken in grief. So she’s not dead. Which is good. So then, where is she?

Some of the others come forward with ideas on how to find her. A few ghosts volunteer to go out into the mortal realm, an area Danny had declared off-limits, to see if she was out there. Danny approves it. He rounds up some of the friendlier (i.e., discreet) ghosts and Amity Parkers and demolishes the outside travel ban.

So everyone spreads out, looking for their dear frenemy and teammate. But it becomes apparent very quickly that something is wrong with the rest of the world.

There are no more heroes.

Every single living superhero on the face of the Earth has just…vanished. Villains are running amok; the countries are in chaos! Some aliens are invading Earth, mythical deities are trying to take over, and society is crumbling to the ground. Everything is on the brink of collapse.

Well, Danny was still there. And so were his people. They were pretty spread out, so could they just…take up the mantles? He also knew where to find the souls of dead heroes in the Zone; surely they wouldn't mind coming out of retirement for a little bit, especially if they couldn't die again. Oh! And that skeleton army leftover from Pariah Dark's reign might be useful in repelling those invading forces.

Honestly, there were more than enough hands to go around! And with the heroes gone, Danny didn't mind letting everyone out for a little break, as long as they followed his rules. They wouldn't stop the search for the other heroes, but hopefully, when they found them, the heroes wouldn't mind Danny's intervention too much. :)

In other words:

Someone fucks up, and all of Earth's living heroes are either wished out of existence or are whisked away to some far-off realm where Danny hasn't checked yet. In the attempt to figure out what's going on, Danny lets the dead run amok over the Earth as they search for clues. The skeleton army repels the invading armies, the souls of dead heroes deal with the world leaders, and his rogues and other Amity Parkers set up shop in place of famous heroes, trying to get the cities under control again.

Basically, they just do their best to keep everything from imploding until the Justice League and others are back.

(And why is it that Danny hasn't disappeared? Well, whatever caused everyone to go poof! only affected living heroes. Anyone heroes that were dead in the first place, or even just half-dead, stayed behind.)

it's time... for the TEAM DARK FEST! 💥💥💥💥

me and @serpentineshine are hosting a little tournament to finally determine who the best Team Dark member is! this week there's gonna be goofs, bits, and even a special prize for the winner 👀

however, the most important prize of all is what awaits at the end of the festival! ...but that's a secret right now.

💥 cast your vote below! 💥

(oh also if anyone makes any propaganda for their fav character. tag me i wanna see)

video transcript below the cut! ⬇️

A blue announcement screen with scrolling text reads “SPECIAL FENSNAILZ ANNOUNCEMENT.” There’s a looping animation of Squeak the cat in the middle. It disappears, cutting to a shot of a studio space.

In the studio, SNAIL, SHINE, SQUEAK, and a VASH PLUSH all sit at a desk with a large CRT TV on it. Squeak and Vash are on top of the TV, and shelves with various items line the walls. Everyone seems to be unaware that the camera is rolling - Snail is reading the script, Shine is drinking from a mug, and Squeak is licking her butthole. Vash remains motionless.

Snail notices the camera zooming in, and throws away the script in a moment of panic. Shine and Squeak sit up to face the camera as well.

SNAIL: Coming at you pre-recorded, it’s Snail, Shine, and The Beasts!

SHINE: We’re here today to announce a special tournament we’re hosting: the TEAM DARK FEST!

SQUEAK: Eep!

VASH: weemp womp :]

SNAIL: You know ‘em, you love ‘em-

SHINE: Or hate them.

SNAIL: It’s all about TEAM DARK this week! Fellas, turn on that TV!

The camera cuts to a close-up of the TV as the screen flips on. Three shitty photos of each Team Dark member appear on the TV under the question “Who is the best member of Team Dark?” Every Team Dark member’s name is misspelled underneath the photos.

SHINE: Time for the ULTIMATE question: Who is the best Team Dark member?

SNAIL: Oof. We’re turning them against each other, huh? That’s dramatic.

SQUEAK: Meep! (HOLY SHIT)

The camera zooms out to a wide view of the studio, but zooms out much further than needed for a split second. For some reason, this is all being filmed on a green screen set, and the shelves behind the cast seem to be edited in. Not only that, but this studio is either widely over-staffed or widely under-staffed, because the boom mic is held by seven Chao stacked on top of each other. The camera zooms into a closeup of Snail before much of this information can be processed.

SNAIL: Well, it’s obviously Shadow. I told him if he won, I would get him ice cream after soccer practice!

The camera pans over to Shine.

SHINE: No way, vote for Rouge! She can carry like. Nineteen mountain lions. Give or take

The camera pans over to Squeak and Vash. Squeak points at a crude drawing of Omega that seems to say “VOTE OMEGA.” It is upside down. Vash holds a cute little sign that says “I <3 OMEGA” that he likely made himself.

SQUEAK + VASH: ?????????????? (we didn’t hire anyone to translate this part.)

Back in a wide shot, Snail and Shine stare blankly at Squeak and Vash. Squeak licks her butthole again. Vash is now Real. Someone off-screen sneezes very convincingly.

SHINE: This poll will run for ONE WEEK before we announce the winner! So little time…

SNAIL: Everyone make your vote count! The winner of this festival will have a special page in my… 

An image of a porcelain snail appears over a white background as an echo-y human voice says “SECRET UPCOMING PROJECT.”

VASH: bweep bwaa :] (Yay! Prizes!)

SHINE: The final verdict will be decided by Twitter AND Tumblr, so commit as much voter fraud as you please!

Squeak bites Vash and he screams. They both fall off the TV and make a surprising amount of noise. Snail and Shine stare in shock.

SNAIL: See you in seven days! And hey, if you want to participate… tag me in any propaganda you make to fight for your favorite Team Dark member!

Squeak and Vash explode.
