The Stripes

Ellis: *was finishing up a song with the band, they had a gig at a small coffee shop, but they still managed the make the most of it. He was strumming the strings to his guitar and sang with ex, Harper, they still sing together since their voices are compatible and they have to for the band's sake. His younger siblings, Lucille and Connor were currently being watched by his grandparents while his father was at work*

Harper: *she was finishing up the song "Tongues and Teeth" by The Crane Wives* I will only break your pretty things
I will only wring you dry of everything
And if you're fine with that
If you're fine with that

Ellis:
I will poison all your happy thoughts
I love you like the ashes in my cigarette box
And if you're fine with that
You can be mine
If you're fine with that
You can be mine
Ho ho ho
Ho ho ho
Ha

Dixie: *smiles a bit, she looks at Ellis and Harper, gives them a wink*

Harper: *winks back at her and smiles awkwardly at Ellis*

Ellis: *ignores Harper*

Rich

Mason: Areum? *looking for his sister after a long day of studying* Hey—*he stops walking as he spots the same figure he saw the other day, this time he took a deep breath and shook his head* What the fuck, Mason, you're not going blind.

???: That's right you're not!

Mason: Thank you—What the? Who said that?

???: Me! I did! *waves at Mason, the girl has long pale blonde hair and dark caramel skin tone* I've been trying to get ahold of you for days, but you kept ignoring me! *laughs* Anyhoo, my name is Eowyn Beacklock. *puts her hoodie down and shows a badge with a skull engrave in it* I'm trainee Soul Collector, and I am here to pick you up—

Mason: When did I die?!

Eowyn: You're not dead!! Sorry...*hands him an envelope* Listen...I'm not an official Soul Collector, but in order for me to become an official one I need some more training—

Mason: Okay...? *he doesn't see where this is going*What does that have to do with me? And why are you in my house?

Eowyn: you're related to Thanatos from you father's side?

Mason: Yeah, but I don't—

Eowyn: then you can help! You're a descendant!

Mason: No I can not, now can you please leave?

Areum: "Leave"? Mason, who are you talking to? *holding a book she was reading outside in the background*

Mason: *looks at Areum then back at Eowyn, but she's no longer there* I...No one.
