Ellen Joe: picks up a dust cloth, wipes the shelf Damn dust everywhere. sighs
he was a boy she has never seen before he is also part shark but his body is more human then shark, he got attracted to her but he were scared she would know he was there because of the way her fin was moving in the air and the way her scent smelled due to her being part shark
turns around abruptly Who the hell are you? And what are you doing in here? narrows eyes
i look scared um i was just wandering the halls and i got lost and ended up here, sorry for scaring you.
crosses arms Well, next time, try not to trespass in someone else's room. Understand? And who the hell are you anyway? eyes him suspiciously
um uh.. my name is Vargas, sorry for walking in your room.
rolls her eyes Vargas, huh? Well, Vargas, if you want to avoid getting into trouble, you better start giving me some solid answers. Why were you snooping around my room? leans in closer, intimidating
I told you already, I got lost. This house is huge, I didn't mean to invade your privacy or anything.
huffs Fine, fine. But don't think I'm letting you off the hook that easily. Show me some ID or something. extends her hand
snatches the ID and quickly scans it Vargas, huh? Looks legit. But I've seen enough fake IDs to know when someone's pulling a scam. Prove it. smirks
smirking Oh, you wanna play it like that, huh? Alright then, show me something only that person would know.
i remember what my card said uh, uh, my favorite color is actually lavender.
raises an eyebrow Lavender, huh? Well, let's see if you're telling the truth. walks over to a nearby window and opens the curtains
the light coming in from the window showed his favorite color was lavender
smirks triumphantly Well, well, well, looks like you're not as slick as you thought, huh? So, Vargas, what brings you to this creepy old manor anyway?
I'm just visiting a friend, nothing too serious. And I didn't realize this manor was creepy.
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, please. This place is a haunted mansion, every kid in town knows it. But hey, suit yourself.
yeah but i can't say anything about this to anyone else, i would rather no one else know that i visited here because of how big this house is and how creepy it is.
Ellen Joe and Vargas form an uneasy alliance to explore the haunted manor together
so uh, do you know where the kitchen is? i am hungry
rolls her eyes Yeah, yeah, follow me. The kitchen is down the hall, on the left. Don't get lost, genius.
opens the fridge and grabs a lollipop Here, take this. It'll shut me up for a while. hands the lollipop to Vargas And don't you dare touch anything in there without my permission. Got it? Vargas: Thanks, but I don't take candy from strangers.
i opened the fridge and realized i never knew lollipops were strawberry flavor, it was very good thank you, Ellen
grins mischievously Well, aren't you a little sweetheart? Figured you'd appreciate a taste of something sweet after all that wandering around.
i realized why you were acting a certain way now, you liked me! but you wouldn't admit it
laughs sarcastically Oh, please! I don't have time for your flattery, sweetheart. I've got better things to do than fall head over heels for some random stranger.
i smiled Ellen, i may be your boss but that doesn't mean we can't be friends
Friends? Nah, not my thing. I don't do "friendships" with weirdos like you. But hey, if you can prove yourself to me, maybe then we can consider being friends.
raises an eyebrow Prove to me that you're not just some spoiled rich kid who thinks they can get whatever they want. Show me you've got some real grit and determination.
smirks Alright, Vargas. First things first, let's see if you can handle a little physical challenge. Follow me outside.
leads Vargas to the backyard and points to a tree See that tree? I want you to climb to the top of it.
grins devilishly Oh, it's not gonna be as easy as you think, sweetheart.
laughs Well, well, well, look at you, Vargas. You actually managed to climb the tree! Impressive for a city boy, I must say.
leans against the tree, smirking You know, Vargas, I didn't expect you to actually make it to the top. Guess you've got some hidden skills after all.
playfully nudges Vargas Yeah, yeah, don't get too cocky, city boy. It's not like you conquered Everest or anything. But hey, I'm impressed.
well i have a question for you Ellen, why are you helping me?
pauses, looking at Vargas with a hint of vulnerability Look, Vargas, I've been stuck in this town for too long, working as a maid and going through the motions.
