You don’t have your entire town pulled into the infinite realms and back without some side effects. As a result all Patrons of Amity Park become ghost adjacent. Liminal at best. It doesn’t seriously effect their day to day life until they start leaving for college.
They didn’t notice it before, since Amity is drowning in ecto, but living in places that don’t have a lot of ambient ecto in the air is exhausting. The Fenton’s (good Fenton’s au, whatever), realize this when Jazz leaves for college, and by the time Danny’s graduating class is ready to go, the Fenton’s have created a drug that helps supply ecto to anyone who needs it. Looks like a ibuprofen gel, except the script is basically ghost speak. One pill will last you a month, probably longer if your in a city where the barrier is weak.
That being said, Amity Parker’s still flocked to cities with a higher than average ambient ecto count because it made life easier, and one of those cities was Gotham.
Danny, Tucker, and Sam move their for college and so do a handful of other students after they graduate. This is sorta where things get tricky.
One of the powers everyone has is sensing other liminal beings. Let’s say Wes, who just spent an all-nighter editing one of his conspiracy videos for his YouTube page, is sitting in his Classics class at Gotham U when his desk mate complains about a massive migraine. Wes, who’s currently hearing colors takes one look at this man and mentally is like “ah yes, ectoplasm deficiency is a bitch.” And then pulls out the his Fenton patented Ecto replenished pills and hands one over.
Jason, who just wants this headache to stop take what he thinks is ibuprofen from his weird desk mate and almost immediately starts to feel better. More than that, the pit is calm in a way it never has felt before. He isn’t constantly fighting with his anger.
Wes, meanwhile, after passing the fuck out after class, wakes up and panics. His desk mate is not from amity park. But he did register as liminal. Well more than actually. He immediately calls Tucker who calls Danny, who’s been abducted to the ghost zone for kingly duties. but Wes is convinced he probably just poisoned this guy so Danny rushes over and is there the next day or two.
when Danny walks into class with Wes, he takes one look at Jason, and laughs. It’s really not that common to run into living dead outside of amity and Jason is registering as something between a liminal and a halfa. A revenant most likely if he had to guess, but he was still learning these things.
After class they low key abduct Jason and Danny sits him down at a cafe and asks point blank if he’d died before.
Long story short, after an in depth conversation about Ecto entities and their adjacent counterparts, Danny gives Jason a years worth of the Fenton Ecto replenishers.
“My parents worked with leading scientists in the zone to make these. They’re basically condensed pure ectoplasm. Ecto’s usually pretty harmless to normal people, but when it’s like this it’ll probably cause their emotions to go haywire for a solid month depending on their size and age, so it’s best that anyone who’s not heavily contaminated not consume these. Just looking at you I can tell whatever gunk you encountered when you died was far from pure ectoplasm, which is causing you to now struggling to absorb ambient ectoplasm in general. A few months on these should help flush out the bad ecto and stabilize you to a point where you only need to take them when you feel really shitty.”
When questioning Danny about why he knows this he just laughs and says to talk to Wes about it. Pretty sure he’s got some hidden YouTube channel with all the information stored somewhere.
So Jason does as and Wes eyes light up with a new semi captive audience to drop all the ghost information on because no one ever listens to his rants anymore.
