ZN: ...There is nothing here.

Youngblood led Danny past the counter and cd aisles, still poking him in the side and muttering 'Argh' every so often.
"She be in there, captive! Move!" With a particularly violent poke, Danny was herded into the back room, where Ember had shoved aside the desk and added a small black sheeted bed upon which she was laying, eye makeup looking a little too much like Zoi's for comfort. She glared at him as he entered. "Well, what do you want?"

"I came to apologize."

"Oh really?" Ember threw a pillow at him.

He dodged it, and walked closer. "I'm sorry, I had no idea. Ember, I really didn't know."

She didn't answer, just continued glaring at him.

"So..who's all going?"

"Johnny and Kitty, Vlad and Desire, The Box Ghost and Lunch Lady, and I was going too."
"What do you mean, was?"
Ember averted her gaze.
"The host is Zoi, right?"

A nod. "And the Fright Knight."

"So, where did Zoi come from?"

"She showed up, completely insane. She met a ghost who wanders through every once in a while, Alucard, I think his name is, and then left the ghost zone. When she came back she was stable, and learned I play rock music. Her power comes from something called auras and it's activated by music lines. She's dating the Fright Knight."
Danny blinked. "Skulker seemed afraid of her."
Ember laughed derisively. "Of course. Her attacks are ghost targeting. They can harm humans, but right now all she knows are ones that can melt ectoplasm. She can kill ghosts, and halfas too."

"Sounds like a nice girl. So what's happening at the party?"
"Music, dancing, games, food and drinks. Of course I can't say what else, the crowd is sure to get rowdy."

"Sounds great. When should we go?"
Ember's eyes widened. "We?"

"Well, yeah. I want to take you to the party."

They narrowed again in suspicion. "You want to take me?"

"I'm sorry, really. I didn't even know what was going on, not to mention that you.." He trailed off.

Ember sighed. "I'll give you a chance, dipstick. I'll pick you up at seven." She grinned, and disappeared once more.

Danny looked at the spot she was laying. "She'll pick me up?"

Kitty knocked on the semi-closed door. "Come on! Don't just stand there like you're high. You have a party to get ready for!"

She drug him out by the arm. "Go home, and tell your parents."

"Right, Kitty. Tell my parents I'm taking a rockstar, who also happens to be a ghost, to a ghost party in the ghost zone? Why don't I just throw in the part about me being a halfa, too?"

Kitty rolled her eyes. "Idiot. I mean, make up a plausible story. Haven't you ever told a lie before? Don't answer that."

She caught the look on his face, and hurriedly continued. "Think of something on the way home. I'd help you, but you have to at least do this on your own."

"Thanks, thats a real help."

"Oh shush. Now go!" She kicked him only a little harshly, and slammed the door, disappearing herself.
