Summary; They're house hunting!
Log;

Well, despite being in a place where you were supposedly trapped for the rest of your life and subjected to curses every other day, Danny found that the citizens here were pretty damn nice. (Aside from that weird Riddle-chick and that guy that had called him an idiot. Ass.) There was a slight bounce in his step as he walked along with someone he'd met in the strange internet cafe. Hey, she was cute!

And for some reason, being in his ghost form made him less aware that he was supposed to be a nervous wreck around pretty girls.

According to that guide the ah, 'shinigami' girl had given him. The best thing to do would be to find an apartment. Honestly, he had no idea how a fourteen-year-old was going to be given a lease, but little was supposed to make sense in this town. Why argue?

He turned to the girl walking beside him and tried to start up some small talk, "So, Alchemy? Is that like, turning lead to gold?"

He kept his eyes on her and rose a little higher. Making it above a few house tops he scanned the area for anything that resembled an apartment building. A few stuck out and he mentally noted them the best he could.

Floating back down to the street he landed a few feet from Iris. "I saw a few buildings we can check out. On the way, I guess we could use it to get familiar with the city, right?"

The more he saw of the City, the easier it would be to find a way out of here. He had Amity to look after, and his parents were going to kill him for breaking curfew.

"All right! Sounds good to me!" Iris started walking in the direction Danny had indicated, glancing around at the tall, colorful buildings as they went. Everything was so much bigger and brighter than back home. Even though it was getting later, the city was still lit up almost as brightly as daytime.

"So... what's your world like?" she asked after a minute or two. She was extremely curious about him. Well... what she really wanted to ask was how he'd managed to wind up dead, but that wouldn't be polite at all, so she settled for small talk.

He had to admit that the City was something else. It was far bigger than Amity and ...a bit shinier he guessed. Amity had its own kind of glow, the ghostly green kind that reminded him of what he had to fight every other day. This place had something else about it.

Now if he could just block out that damned ticking.

"My world?" He was brought back to real-time and answered her question. "Well, it's sort of like this..." He trailed off thinking, "Theres more ghosts back home, though."

"Well, I would have guessed that, seeing as you said you were from a 'ghost zone'," Iris replied, smiling. But then she hesitated. Asking any more questions about his life might end up prying into the issue of his death, and she certainly didn't want to get the first friend she'd made in this strange place angry.

She settled for talking about herself instead. "My world's a lot...smaller, and quieter," she said. "The buildings are much smaller and we don't have all of these lights... I wonder what's running them? They don't seem to use oil."

Danny was back to walking now, along side Iris again. He saw her kind of hesitate on her questions but relaxed some when he saw she had decided to talk a little about herself. It was easier this way, since he had to keep her fooled about his human half. He wasn't in the Ghost Zone, he was in a town. This town didn't need to know he was anything more special than a ghost.

"The lights? Electricity, probably." He said a bit casually. Though he had to think if she knew what he meant. "It's like making lightning into power. They use it in my world, too."

"So you can use electricity to make light?" Iris said, enthused. "That's ingenious... Back home, we use gas and oil in lamps." If there was one good thing about this place, it was that she was certainly getting a lot of new ideas...

Still, despite how interesting the City was, it was also overwhelming. Iris glanced up at the sky visible through the maze of buildings as they crossed one street and moved on to another. "Everything's so much more advanced here. I feel a little bit... backward."

"Backward?" Danny looked at her a bit. He was getting that she was from some prior time period so he was sure ha;f the things in this place would be pretty overwhelming. Well, if she ever suffered any kind of culture shock, at least he would be there right? "I'm sure you'll get the hang of it eventually."

That made him wonder suddenly.

They were getting an apartment ...together?

Meaning, the two of them in the same room!? He knew that this had to be breaking some kind of rules somewhere. Though, weren't those the rules back home? Yeah, he wasn't exactly back home, was he?

"You're probably right," Iris agreed. "And it just means more interesting things to learn about!"

By now, the pair was approaching the outer part of the city ring. A large stone apartment complex loomed over them, bearing the label 'Building 7.'

"Does this look like someplace to stay?" she asked, a little uncertain. Houses here looked so much different from houses back home.

Danny smiled and replied, "Yup! Personally I want to see this Alchemy thing you do, too."

He stopped as they reached the large towering building. He eyes it a little and tried to answer her, sounding a bit curious himself, "I'm pretty sure this is the building I saw earlier. It looks kind of apartmenty to me."

He turned his head to the entrance and pointed, "We could ask."

"I'll be sure to show you as soon as I get a new cauldron," Iris promised.

"That sounds like a good idea," she continued, in response to his suggestion. "And... thanks for agreeing to stay with me, Danny. That ticking is much less annoying when you're with someone else."

"Awesome!" he chimed at her answer.

He started to head towards the door, but stopped when she continued to speak. He turned back to her and laughed a little bit, waving his hand. "It's cool, really!" Seriously, he was nervous as hell at the idea of them staying together considering the whole Identity thing. Also, the fact that she was a girl.

But he couldn't tell her no. What the hell kind of a person would that make him? No he was doing this, he'd figure a way through the glitches later, he thought walking into the lobby.
