you could handle both, charming flirt!!

ahhh, my hero! i'll be ready to let you in when you get here!

nooope. i've made up my mind and when my mind's made up, that's final. ✌️

[deathsiren]

You are determined to make sure I never stop smiling, aren't you?

I'll be there in twenty.

I mean, I'm really easy to please so remember that, okay?

[hapertas]

absolutely, 100%!! i feel pretty sure you should always be smiling!

thank you, thank you! thank you!! ah, my life is saved...

people who are easy to please are the ones you should spoil the most, i think.

[deathsiren]

I think you make it happen easily. You should always smile too.

I'm almost there!

Why's that? Because they're not used to it?

[hapertas]

then i should say the same to you! i'm smiling right now, very much.

i'll ring you in as soon as you get here!

mhmm, and because they're usually very tolerant.

[deathsiren]

Your smile is one of my favorites.

Pulling into the driveway.

I'd like to think I'm very tolerant and open minded of most things.

[hapertas]

well, now i'm blushing!

bzzzt, come on up! the door's open. take the left elevator though, ok? the right one is haunted.

i've never known you NOT to be. you've always been kind to me.

[deathsiren]

Would you look at that? I love that too.

Haunted by what?

I know how it feels to not be accepted.

[hapertas]

you really are charming and a flirt, charming flirt.

i'm not sure, but it stops a lot and i don't want you to get stuck!

that can instill a lot of kindness in a person. i'm sorry it had to be in such a painful way though.

[deathsiren]

imagine if i actually tried to charm you.

I'll make sure to steer clear.

It was just an adjustment to being on land is all! It's better now. Mostly.

[hapertas]

whaaat. you haven't been doing that all along??

good! i mean, i think it's best for you and for whatever's making all the racket in there, probably.

mostly?

[deathsiren]

Nope!
That's just all been by accident.

Who knows I might end up in some weird realm.

I mean everyone feels lost sometimes,
right?

[hapertas]

wow. so you're a natural charming flirt!

nonono, i can't lose you to my elevator. that'd be horrrrible.

i think you're right. no one's ever truly free of that feeling. sometimes you have to be lost before you can figure out where you're really going, right?

[deathsiren]

I cold turn up the charm, though, remember I'm a siren.

That would not be how i would like to go out.

Sometimes you find yourself where you never expected. I've found that out the hard way. But it didn't turn out bad.

[hapertas]

oh, of course. right. i didn't think of it that way!

it's not how i'd like you to go out either! i mean, i'd like it if you stuck around! and also, that's just a terrible thing to live with!!

i think i'm in that process right now...

[deathsiren]

I haven't used the siren stuff on you. I mean I haven't used it or shifted in years.

It would be a terrible thing for you conscious. I'll stay safe!

Yeah? What's going on?

[hapertas]

oh, i definitely didn't think that! i trust you. i do. can i ask something?

i'll do my best to forewarn you of any weirdness in the building!

just... figuring out who i am. deciding what to do next. i had a very human vision for my life!

[deathsiren]

of course,
ask away.

I appreciate it. I'm pretty clumsy oddyly enough.

Have you figured more out about what you are and what you can do?

[hapertas]

when you say 'shift,' what does that mean? you don't have to answer if you don't want to! or can't, whatever the case may be.

you and me both. at least, sometimes. it's better to be careful!

i'm supposed to leave the human realm to learn more. i'm not... in a super huge hurry to do that.

[deathsiren]

Oh, I don't mind answering. You can ask me anything. Shifting into a siren is uh the allure I have is stronger and um I have wings and claws if I want them.

I already picked this up about you.

Can you not come back?

[hapertas]

oh, i see! i didn't know that was something you could do. but you choose not to?

no way! how? 😋

i can, but i guess it still feels sort of final. like up until then, i can still be regular old dash. if i go... then i'm the prince.

[deathsiren]

I

haven't since I've been on the ground. my wings changed after the cleansing and they're not good now.

How you move around!

You're kind of the prince either way but if you go you can decide how and why.

[hapertas]

i'm sorry, sungmin. is there a way to undo that?

ah, i give myself away, huh? oopsie!

that's the thing i keep trying not to think about. i mean, of course it's true! i guess it's not very princely to try and live in denial.

[deathsiren]

Not really. I would have to not be a reaper.

It turned them black. They used to be blue.

You do but not in a bad way.

Eventually, it catches up with you.
Can you bring someone with you?

[hapertas]

i'm sorry - i have a bunch of questions and i don't mean to pry. i wish i knew more about your world, so i didn't have to ask for clarification on so many things.

i bet they were beautiful. like you are.

i think i can live with that. not in a bad way, i mean. that sort of makes me happy, actually.

bring someone with me? hm, i'm not sure. i didn't think to ask!
