Ethan: Still messing with those shaders, huh? Got a death wish or something?
musecyclone
my eyes turn red
raises an eyebrow Well, well, well... looks like someone's trying to make a bold statement. Red eyes, huh?
musecyclone
so, you have power
smirks Power? Me? Nah, I don't need power, sweetheart. I've got connections. winks
musecyclone
I look away
leans against the wall, crossing arms Look, I know this might seem like a game to you, but messing with shaders is dangerous.
musecyclone
why?
Because it's not just about changing colors, babe. It's about altering reality, manipulating perceptions. leans closer
musecyclone
isn't that what you did when you changed your eye color
laughs sarcastically Oh, honey, I didn't change my eye color. I'm just naturally fabulous, darling. winks But seriously, messing with reality isn't a game.
musecyclone
I just made them red. I'm sure they're still real
rolls eyes Oh, look at you thinking you know everything! You think just because you turned your eyes red, you understand the complexity of reality.
musecyclone
looks away
grabs musecyclone's chin, forcing eye contact Listen, sweetheart, you may think you're untouchable, but trust me, there are forces out there that will eat you alive.
musecyclone
how do you know that?
smirks Because I've seen things you couldn't even imagine. I've dealt with creatures that would make your hair stand on end.
musecyclone
you have?
Ethan reveals a collection of supernatural artifacts that he has collected over the years
musecyclone
what's all this?
smirks These are just little trinkets from my travels. You know, souvenirs from the other side. winks
musecyclone
so, what exactly did you do before you came here
leans back, crossing his arms Well, darling, let's just say I had a bit of a colorful past. winks
musecyclone
uhuh
sits up straight, grinning mischievously Colorful doesn't even begin to cover it, babe. I've done it all - and then some.
