#Duke and Danny call those special aura colors Shrimp Colors

[chaos-bringer-13]

Well it was space as stars and planets in my mind (he could meditate by closing his normal eye and looking at cool space with his weird one) but now it's gonna be remote viewing because it's a cool idea. And he still can use it for looking at space - as soon as he learns to control it because he absolutely is just getting bombarded with random images. Poor boy. I hope he can stop it by closing that eye. He would cosplay as a pirate or put tape over Phantom's mask eye slot just to stop seeing stuff. Migraines are awful :(

(I liked your pun)

Omg a fic I'm gonna read it! (looks at a pile of fics I wanna read, pretends not to notice it)

The closest I've seen to this idea is an AU where Danny went blind and got lost in ghost zone after turning on the portal and he can only see ecto-infused things and uses his ice to see. He ends up in DC-universe and is thought to be a villain because he freezes a whole city Elsa style. I loved that idea so I'm happy that there is another take on Danny and his seeing of ecto-infused stuff

Duke! Yes! Danny bonding with Duke! They do not see auras the same. They argue about it. They're confused about it. They see auras wildly different and it's actually weirder when they see someone's aura the same way. They try to make a comparison table and find patterns. They fail but they still keep a table of comparisons on how they see batfamily and other mutual friends. There are bad drawings attached. They have the dumbest arguments about correct colors of people's souls. Every single time. It's their way of bonding.

I want you to know that I went to google to find out about shrimp colors and the first site I got was an article named "Shrimp do not see a kaleidoscope of colours, they are just really stupid" and I was distracted for several minutes because of laughing. And then I went into memes and laughed more.

I say they see shrimp colors. I don't mean it as colors that shrimp see (especially because it's sadly just a myth), I mean it as colors that they can't neither describe nor draw. They're stuck as the only people seeing it. They were extremely excited to meet each other because they thought they could finally share this experience and talk about those colors and show each other people with their favorite auras. They were disappointed to the point of almost crying when they found out that they still can't share it because they see it differently. They're still sad about it. They still show each other people with cool auras because often it's still cool even though different. They made up several words only for describing auras. They're not sure if they mean the same thing when they use those words. They still use them. They understand each other's aura vision better than anyone and yet not enough, not nearly perfect. Before meeting, when they just heard about each other, they thought it would be useful for finding people (for example if Duke saw someone's aura and not their face, Danny should have been able to recognize them) but it's useless. They still enjoy each other's company.

The Literal Phantom of the Opera (DpxDc prompt)

When Cassandra Cain first began taking ballet, her fellow dancers quickly warned her about the ghost haunting the theater.

"He likes to watch us. I see him looking down at the stage from the catwalk all the time."

"It looks like he stole one of the Phantom of the Opera masks last time a tour came through, but its been covered in stars!"

"I heard him when I was acting in Wicked. I was alone in the green room doing some last minute practice and I swear he was humming along while I was singing!"

"It was the phantom who stole my makeup from my dressing room I just know it!"

"Haley from front of house didn't believe he existed until they came backstage to grab supplies for seat repairs. I don't know what they saw, but now they refuse to go backstage."

"That ghost is evil. It pushed me down the stairs to the office and I tore my suit on the railing. Do you know how hard it is to find an all white suit on short notice? I'm lucky it didn't break my ankle!"

"We used to have balconies before the renovations. Sometimes it sounds like someone is moving inside the walls where they used to be."

"I'm not sure that the ghost is fully aware we're performers. A few years ago when Heathers was here, the actress for McNamara said that it felt like someone was hugging her after Lifeboat."

"I've seen him without the mask. His face looks like it was just... shredded. I only saw it once, but I'll never forget that face."

"I heard that he likes to mess with the equipment in the control booth."

Cass isn't sure that the ghost is real, but she is sure that the other dancers think he's real. They often gossip about the theater ghost in hushed whispers, knocking on wood at the very mention of him. Her teachers prefer not to talk about the ghost at all, but they don't deny its existence.

It's not until she is practicing alone on stage and feels eyes on her that she thinks there might be something to the ghost rumors.
