Dannymay 2024, now with kitty paws!

Prompts from my AU, also in AO3

Day 13: D&D

It happened after most of the ghosts that invaded Amity Park made a truce with Danny, after learning that all of those cats that kicked their butts were him. To maintain the truce, Jazz suggested weekly game nights with anyone that wanted to join. It was a good idea, but most ghosts could not agree on what game to play and Jazz’s idea seemed to be fated to fail.

That was, until the scariest ghosts of the Ghost Zone, the Fright Knight, heard about it and convinced (or intimidated, same difference) some ghosts to join in his favorite game. Dungeons & Dragons.

Most ghosts ran away when they saw the dark knight coming at them, and the few that Fright Knight could reach were too scared to deny the spirit of Halloween anything. Though Danny suspected that Princess Dora joined because she was actually interested in the game. Of course, Danny ignored Jazz’s theory that the princess was actually interested in the Fright Knight. The halfa was not interested in the relationship between the ghosts.

Thanks to the spirit of Halloween, every Friday night Danny, Dora, Ember, Skulker, Johnny 13, and Kitty gathered in one of their lairs to play D&D.

That Friday night, they were playing in Skulker’s lair. Johnny and Kitty were sitting side by side almost joining the chairs into one, Skulker had sat beside Ember after giving everyone some ectoplasm to drink, the Fright Knight was sitting at the head of the table, and Danny was sitting on the table beside Dora. 

Danny was in his cat form because he felt more comfortable if he was a ghost when among ghosts. His form was that of a typical ecto-green ghost cat, though his fur was moving like the flames in Ember’s hair. Because he was the size of a normal cat, Danny was on the table instead of the chair near him.

Their adventure continued when the party was resting in an inn. Suddenly, they heard a drunk traveler rambling about how he has the key to enter the Dungeon of Thorns as he was invited to a select party. That was the dungeon they were aiming at and they needed that key.

“I want to steal his key” Johnny was a dark elf thief and he had divided his turns with Shadow. When it was Shadow’s turn, weird things happened.

“Roll it” Fright Knight said. He was the Dungeon Master.

Johnny rolled a 4.

“You were close but the traveler noticed you and is now wary”

“Damn it” Johnny grumbled. He never had luck with the dice.

“Shit! I’ll use my lira to enchant the drunkard into giving us the key” Ember had chosen a half siren as her character and was a bard.

Ember rolled a 7.

“Your music is beautiful and everyone in the inn liked it, but the target is not enchanted by it and is still wary”

“Fuck!” Ember cursed. She had taken a liking to the game and became very passionate for every little thing.

“Oh, I know! Kitten, you distract the guy and I'll try to get the key” Kitty said. She was a thief like Johnny but she was a nature elf instead.

“Nya!” Danny nodded and rolled for distraction. The halfa had chosen to be a human mage.

Danny rolled a 17.

“You are successful in your distraction by setting the nearby table on fire. Everyone in the inn is looking at it and some are trying to put it out”

“Yes!” Kitty cheered and rolled to steal the key.

She got a 2.

“The drunk traveler saw you coming at him with bad intentions from afar, and is now very angry that people is trying to rob him”

“Oh no” Kitty whined. Sometimes she and Johnny shared bad luck.

“Uh… I roll for persuasion” Skulker was an orc warrior and was the best hunter in the party. Unlike other hunters, he did not use a bow and arrows but axes. Huge axes for strong opponents and close combats, and small axes to throw at unsuspecting enemies.

He got a 1.

“Before you open your mouth, the traveler is calling for the guards on your party for trying to rob him. He is very loud and the guards had heard him”

“Meowew!”

Danny rolled a 3.

“You don't see any available escape route. Most of the patrons in the inn are looking at your party after putting out the fire”

“Meow! Hiss!” Danny was cursing in a way no one but the Fright Knight and Dora could understand.

“I throw my smoke bomb to escape!” Johnny exclaimed and rolled. He always did that when the situation seemed hard.Sometimes it helped that he was out to help them later, others it did not help at all.

He got a 1.

“The smoke bomb was faulty and failed to explode, and now you look ridiculous”

“Fuck” Johnny deadpanned.

“Also the guards just entered the inn and are approaching your party”

“Double fuck”

“Hmm… I play victim and point the guards to the drunkard” Dora said before taking the dice in her hand. She had chosen to be a half dragon and she was the strongest of the bunch. Her sky blue scales also made her beautiful.

She rolled a 20.

“You successfully convinced the guards that the drunk rambling man had robbed you and that your friends were just helping you get your things back. With the help of the guards, you obtained the traveler's bag. Inside you find 20 silver coins, some clothes, a dark cloak with a hood, a strange letter, and the key of the Dungeon of Thorns”

“A letter? I roll to open it and read it” Skulker was very curious about anything strange and often led them in a lot of side quests.

Danny grumbled for the obvious hint of another side quest. He wanted to go to the dungeon already! There was a magical staff that he needed to make better ice spells.

Skulker rolled a 16.

“You open up the letter without breaking it with your great strength” Fright Knight said.

“Yes!” Skulker cheered. He had broken a lot of letters in their journey and Danny, the one with the highest intelligence stats, was the one that had to put it back together.

“But you don't know how to read because you are an orc that has not learned the writing of humans. You don't know what the letter says”

“Damn racials” Skulker forgot he could only read orcish.

“Mrrow” Danny sighed and rolled the dice. He got a 19.

“You take the letter from Skulker and read it. This is what the letter says:

‘You are welcome to join the Blood Cult! Where everyone is equal under the gaze of the supreme blood demon. Come and join us! And you can gain powers beyond imagination! To enter the cult you just need to offer your everything to the blood demon Ral’ Akah in the Dungeon of Thorns. Bring your own cloak’”

“Nya!” Danny was happy. This side quest was in the same place they were going anyway. He was so getting that staff.

“Aren't those the blood cultists that tried to kill us in the previous city?” Johnny asked.

“Oh right! Those annoying bastards” Kitty frowned. She did not like the cultists at all and enjoyed killing them.

“They almost got baby pop there” Ember remembered their previous adventure and how Danny almost died.

“Let's get revenge!” Skulker yelled in excitement.

Everyone agreed. They were ghosts. Getting revenge was a must even in a game.

(for the record, I don't know how to play D&D)

CONSTANT

I'm just going to try to be more consistent here, I don't know, I feel like it's a good app for posting illustrated content, especially with the new Meta policy.

It seems to me that I haven't been on this platform since DannyMay 2023.

Weekly plan: make a drawing with this color palette ↓ ideas?

[currentlylurking]

DannyMay: Emotions

Angela Foley, Maddie Fenton, and Pamela Manson stood in front of their children. The trio were leaning against each other; Danny was in the middle, while his friends sat on either side with a protective arm wrapped around his shoulders.

Maddie crossed her arms. “What do you three have to say for yourselves?”

Danny licked his lips. “Mom, I can explain-”

“You three have been helping Phantom!” Pamela cut in, “There is nothing to explain!”

The trio exchanged a look and moved closer to Danny.

“He’s protecting the city, Mother,” Sam replied, squeezing Danny’s shoulder.

“He’s a good guy, Mrs. F, Mrs. M.” Tucker added on, “and we can look after ourselves. Have you seen Sam with one of those wrist rays? Her aim is-”

“You gave my daughter a weapon?!” Pamela, again, cut in. She turned towards Maddie, who kept her expression calm. “You should keep better track of your weapons, and your horrible influence of a son!”

Angela stepped between them. “Tucker,” she said softly, “I can’t let you keep doing this. This is dangerous, honey. You’re still children; let Phantom hunt the ghosts.”

Danny swallowed. Tucker grabbed his hand.

“It-” Danny cleared his throat, “it was my idea.”

“What?” Tucker said, “No-”

Sam held him tighter. “Danny don’t you dare-”

“No, guys,” he rolled his shoulders back, trying wriggle out of their grasp. “It was my idea. Ghost hunting was my idea. I gave Phantom the Fenton Thermos, and everyone weapons.” He wouldn’t look up at Maddie. “Don’t blame Sam and Tucker, this was my idea.”

Maddie lowered her arms. “Why?” It was hard to stay calm. It was hard not to say ‘I thought I raised you better than this.’

Danny swallowed again, and placed one free hand on the back of his neck. “I, uh- it was the right thing to do?” As Maddie raised her eyebrows, he started to speak faster. “Phantom’s a good person, Mom. He’s just trying to help! He knows he’s made mistakes in the past and that things go wrong a lot when he’s ghost fighting, but he is trying.” His voice cracked, “Why can’t you give him a chance?”

Maddie knelt in front of her son. “Danny,” she said softly. “Ghosts aren’t like us. You know this, Honey. They don’t care about other people.”

“Phantom’s different, then-”

“No,” Maddie gently pushed Sam and Tucker away so she could put her hands on Danny’s shoulders. “Ghosts don’t have emotions. They’re selfish creatures who only care about themselves. Whatever he said to get you to help him he lied.” Gently, Maddie grabbed her son’s chin and guided his face up to look in his eyes. “Ghosts aren’t like us, Danny. Phantom’s not your friend. You understand that, right?”

For a second, Danny’s lip trembled. “Yeah. No emotions, I’m an idiot, all ghosts are evil. Got it.”

“You’re not an idiot,” Maddie said, “Phantom’s manipulative; all ghosts are. He could’ve tricked anyone into helping him. It’s not your fault he chose you three.” She pulled away from her son and stood back up, watching as Sam and Tucker reattached themselves to his sides.

“Sam, get away from him,” Pamela said stiffly, “You are grounded, and I don’t want you anywhere near him.”

Sam’s gaze snapped up. “What?!”

“Tucker, the same goes for you,” Angela said, and continued before her son could interrupt. “No internet for one week. And we’re going home.”

Despite their protests, Maddie watched the other mothers pull their kids away. She was left with her son.

“Danny,” She sat down beside him, “I know you thought you were doing a good thing. But the three of you could have gotten killed, and I don’t know what I’d do if I lost you.” Danny didn’t say anything, he just nodded, and Maddie only hesitated for a second. “Tell me how you met Phantom.”

She was going to find the twisted piece of ectoplasm who thought he could use her son’s good heart like this and rip him apart, molecule by molecule.

[starcrossedkey]

its been so long but!! i wanted to be more active and Dannymay is perfect! The theme was “The Unknown” so i went w/ the obvious route of a crossover

I like to think that since The Unknown is a kinda limbo between life and death, and since Danny is also between those he tends to end up in The Unknown a LOT.

L’appel du Vide

A little late but my first finished DannyMay weekly prompt!

Danny looks into the giant maw of the inactive portal, and feels a sense of calm.

Come join us, he hears. Come find us.

He’s heard whispers before, as his parents built the lab and began constructing the portal.

Enter. Come home.

Beyond lies a void, a place where he can reach peace eternal.

It’s the home of the dead, and it calls to him.

He doesn’t even think twice about when he steps into the broken portal.

He hits the button.

The calls crescendo as pain courses through him, and when it stops, he looks into the void and hears the whispers say but one thing.

Welcome home.

Dannymay Weekly!!

May is a busy month for me but I will post the weekly themes here and in FF

The Unknown  (FF link)

A ghost stood at the edge of a small island of bare rock staring at the vast expanse of the Infinite Realms, he looked at the small map he had in his hand and his view rested back at the green void.

The ghost name is Sojourn, he had a white cloak with golden laces, his hood was up covering his head but letting his face to be seen. His skin was a normal bluish green but his eyes were completely white, something odd between ghosts, though Sojourn didn't care what the others thought of his appearance.

The traveler had with him some parchment with maps draw in them and his personal book, its pages filled with everything he encountered in his journeys, he noticed that some pages were getting loose but he didn't worry, he had an excellent memory and only wrote the book as a means to have some record of his travels.

Sojourn was staring at the green sky of the Ghost Zone thinking in what to do next. He had reached the limit of the small map that a kind ghost had gave him, they told him that that map

covered all the known nearly locations, beyond that was unknown.

He hated that word, it taunted him,  it made him want to beat it, discover what is unknown to make it known. That was the reason he stated his travels and his book, that was how he discovered his obsession, to know the unknown.

With his decision made Sojourn gathered his things and leaped into the air starting his new adventure into the unknown parts of the Ghost Zone, plans in making a new map already forming in his mind.

DannyMay Weekly: Mistakes/Regret

(This isn’t late I just haven’t had internet for a week.)

It had seemed like such a good idea at the time. Danny would get immunity from Dash for as long as this lasted, Star would make sure he got an A in physics, and once they had finished he’d get two free dates with whatever member of the cheerleading team he chose. The A-list had power, and as long as they needed Tucker, they were happy to use it for whatever he wanted.

But this? Tucker hadn’t signed up for this.

“I roll to seduce the elf king,” Dash said, and rolled his twenty-sided die as Tucker watched in horror.

.-. 

It had started off simple enough.

He’d found a note in his locker asking that he meet some mystery person behind the school during lunch. Learning that it had come from Dash, Kwan, Star, and Paulina had been slightly terrifying, but he’d worked past it.

“You like nerd stuff, right?” Paulina had said, and like an idiot, he’d said yes.

The four of them had fallen in love with some story about Dungeons and Dragons and wanted to play. However, they needed someone to run the game for them. Kwan thought Tucker would be easier to bribe than Mikey to keep quiet about it.

Tucker had resented that, as true as it was. He’d added in Dash having to avoid Danny before being swayed, and agreed that the four could meet him in his attic on Saturday. Tucker had no experience with tapletop RPG games, so Paulina had given him a guide on how to run a game of Dungeons and Dragons, and an almost threatening bit of advice. “You’ll be our Dungeon Master, and a good Dungeon Master always says yes. Don’t you agree?”

Confused and slightly terrified, Tucker pretended he did. That had been his first mistake.

His second was allowing them all to design their own characters.

Paulina had brought a professionally done drawing of her character, which was just her in a medieval-fantasy-esque dress. “Her name is Princess Melody Treble, she’s a lawful neutral high elf noble and wizard.”

Tucker had stared at her. “She’s not a bard?”

“Of course not!” Paulina had looked appalled, “You can’t judge people based on their names!”

Really, that should have been Tucker’s first clue that this would end badly.

Star had written a fifteen-page backstory because, well, that’s what Star did. “This is Sympathy Hellforge, a tiefling rouge with an urchin background who is lawful neutral.” Tucker had nodded and turned to get Kwan’s character, but Star was faster. She’d flipped open the first page of her backstory and cleared her throat. “Sympathy and her twin sister, Empathy, were orphans by age nine…”

Half an hour and a box of tissues later- Kwan had been deeply moved by the tale of the two fictional siblings- they were finally ready to move on to the next character.

“This is Timothy Green,” Kwan had said, and held up his tear-stained stick figure drawing. “He’s a neutral good gnome cleric of Pan with the entertainer background who likes being picked up and warm hugs. He used to be a dad.” He’d turned to Dash, “Who’re you playing?”

Dash, who’d suddenly looked embarrassed, gave Tucker his character sheet.

The first thing Tucker had noticed was that every single one of the character’s stats were 19. Secondly, was that Dash was playing a chaotic good human fighter with the folk hero background- a bit cliché. But the third, and arguably worst thing, was the name.

“Your character’s name is Dan Phanta.” Tucker had stared at him, “You’re playing as Danny Phantom, and all your ability scores are as high as they possibly can be.”

“I’m really good at rolling dice,” Dash said.

Tucker opened his mouth to inform Dash that that’s called cheating, but was stopped when Paulina cleared her throat.

“Remember what I told you about being a good Dungeon Master?” she said.

Unsure whether he should be more terrified by the name Dungeon Master or Paulina’s possible wrath if he didn’t perform it correctly, Tucker only nodded.

So really, there’d been a lot of mistakes on his part from the start. Tucker was perfectly fine with admitting that. But this? This wasn’t fair.

He’d sent them off on a quest to rescue a princess, since that seemed ‘fantasy’ enough. “You enter a hall, and sitting in the middle on this fancy throne is a gaudy-looking elf man-”

Dash smashed his hand on the table and threw a twenty-sided die on the table. “I roll to seduce the elf king!”

As Kwan nearly fell off his chair from laughing- and Tucker from pure shock- he faintly registered both Dash’s shout of ‘natural twenty!’ and Paulina’s terrifying, judgmental glare.

Tucker adjusted his glasses and looked over his notes. “Uh, he is… charmed? Yeah, he’s charmed by you. And thoroughly seduced.”

Paulina’s glare relaxed as Dash pumped his fist in the air.

“Nice,” Star said, “I’m going to say to him ‘Excuse me Sir, but we’re looking for a young woman who was taken from her home by orcs. Could you help us?’”

Tucker stared at his plans, and the battle he’d set up, and wondered how Danny and Sam were spending their evening.

.-.

As the horrible, horrible game continued, Tucker was almost positive that he’d angered a ghost. Maybe last time he’d gone with Danny to visit Dora he’d offended one of her subjects. Maybe the gem of fantasy was actually a ghost with a grudge. Either way, he had to have upset something supernatural for this to still be happening.

“So, the four of you have found a map,” he said, any trace of enthusiasm deader than his best friend. “And you feel a pull towards the town with a dagger stabbed into it, but it’s not necessary. Aside from the river, it’s the only thing on the map-”

“I vote we check out the river,” Star said.

“So do I,” Paulina said, staring Tucker down. “But before we do, Melody’s also going to grab the dagger. It was stabbed into the map, it has to be good for something, right?”

“Oh, yeah, right.” Tucker had not planned for this, and now stared blankly at his notes.

Paulina tapped her nails on the table. “What does it do?”

“It… gives you plus one on survival checks?” Tucker said as he tried and failed to pretend he knew what he was doing.

“While they’re doing that,” Dash said, “Kwan and I are going to loot the bodies of those orcs we killed for better armor.”

“Wait,” Tucker started to say, “they’re not wearing any-”

“I rolled a nineteen on armor finding.”

“Is this a wisdom or intelligence roll?” Kwan asked, and Star started to give Tucker an annoyed look.

“Wisdom,” Dash said, “so seventeen for you.”

Star crossed her arms, “When are we heading to the river?”

Distantly, Tucker heard his phone ring. That settled it; there was definitely a ghost out there who hated him.

.-.

“You arrive at the river,” Tucker said, almost completely monotone, “it looks deadly.”

“How deadly?” Kwan asked.

“Very.”

“I’m going to make a survival check to see if we can cross it,” Paulina said, and rolled her die. “…That’s a nine.” She gave Tucker a pleading look. Star narrowed her eyes.

Tucker stopped slouching a little bit. A nine was… a fail, wasn’t it? So he didn’t have to get them across the river? “With a nine, you can see that the river is super deadly, and you want to go to the town.” Dash and Kwan were whispering to each other. Tucker ignored that.

“I’m going to persuade her to stay,” Star rolled her dice, “that’s a fourteen, so I tell her ‘we’ll be fine, it’s not that bad.’ And I’m going to take a running start and leap across it.”

Tucker stared at her. “What?”

“Before she does,” Kwan said, “I’m going to tie my rope around her waist and to one of the trees behind us. And I’m going to tie Dash’s rope to that and the tree. And then I’m going to hold them there!”

Tucker was still staring. “Why?”

“And then I’m going to leap across too,” Dash said, giving Kwan a fistbump while Star nodded approvingly. Before Tucker could say anything, he’d rolled his die and another natural twenty stared up at them.

Tucker stopped functioning. He had the mental image of an error screen and just stopped functioning. He had no idea what anyone else rolled; at this point, it didn’t matter.

“Sure,” he said, “yeah, sure- you leap across the river, and guess what? You go so far and so fast that you just break the sound-”

Tucker’s window shattered and Danny Phantom slid across the table, taking character sheets and dice off the other end with him.

“Hi, Tuck,” he said, weakly waving a hand as he pulled a piece of paper off his face, “nice to see you, could really use your help- why is almost my name on this piece of paper?”

“Ghost boy!” Paulina shouted, and Danny scrambled to his feet.

“Hello-” he cleared his throat and lowered his voice, “hello, citizens! I did not mean to interrupt… whatever this is.” He motioned to Dash’s character sheet. Danny lost his superhero voice for a moment, “What is this, anyway?”

“Dungeons and Dragons, Phantom!” Kwan said excitedly, shaking the shoulder of Dash, who looked like he was experiencing an error message of his own. “Do you want to play with us?”

Still holding Dash’s character sheet, Danny looked over at Tucker in confusion.

“I regret everything, dude,” Tucker said, “everything.”
