(Sorry- that's really it for powers- but uh. . . yeah)
(Btw, they do know each other already [idk if I made that clear or not before, so I'm saying it now] and Beacon is going to be the one getting jumpscared here in a minute)
Rhys looks around quickly, grinning conspiratorially, before floating down the hall, slipping into one of the suits of armor along the wall, waiting for some unsuspecting person to come by.
Eventually, they spot what looks like a human coming down the hall, and laugh silently, preparing to jump out.
(So at this point are they already pretending to be dating?)
Beacon walked down the quiet hallway enjoying being alone for once, Gosh, I thought I could never get out of that class, so noisy.. he found himself thinking. He walked closer and closer to the suit of amour, not suspecting a thing.
(No, not yet- just getting this set up so that they will!)
Rhys waits. . . waits. . . then.
The suit jumps in front of Beacon.
"HI!" they say, holding back laughter.
Beacon lets out a hushed squeal and steps back, almost falling over. He stares at Rhys with wide eyes, "Why would you do that," He demands
Rhys howls with laughter, falling backwards out of the suit of armor.
"Because it's funny!"
"Ugh! No it's not!" He stomps past Rhys, "Jerk!"
Rhys stops laughing, floating after Beacon.
"Aw, c'mon! It was a joke, a prank! I'd do it to anybody!"
"Aren't you supposed to be in class or something, Rhys?" He complained, "Don't go around scaring people,"
Rhys huffs and flips upside down in front of the human boy.
"But cosmology is so booooring. . ." he groans.
Beacon crossed his arms and huffed, "I don't see what the big problem is," He paused for a moment before grinning, "What? Are you failing? Need any help?" He laughed
Rhys sighs.
"You do know I could just. . . look at the teacher's lesson plans, right? If I was failing, which I am not. Doing. Failing, that is." they say, their words trailing off awkwardly.
"Cheating hm? That's so naughty," Beacon leaned forward and got inches from Rhys face and smiled
Rhy sticks his face through Beacon's and laughs.
"I'm a naughty spirit, what can I say." they reply, floating all the way through the human boy.
"Don't float through me, that's weird," After a quick pause, "Anyway, Rhys, I've been wondering. Can you make yourself a physical being so other people can touch you?"
"Oh, hush. You invaded my personal space anyways." Rhys grins.
They turn solid, and, in answer to Beacon's question, tap the human on the shoulder, still floating.
"Yeah. And then I can touch other people too."
"Oh wow.." His voice trailed as he touched their shoulder
Rhys floats down to the ground, stopping levitating for a little bit.
"And yes, I do know how to walk as well."
"Like I didn't realize.."
Rhys shrugs, pirouetting around so that he's in front of Beacon.
"Most people don't seem to. I need food, sleep, water, air. I am alive, just not in a traditional sense of the word."
"But you float through things.. Wait! Do you peep in the girls bathroom.." He asked suspiciously
"Yeah, I do." Rhys snickers.
He looks very offended. "No!"
"Mhmm, just the reaction a peeper would do, I might as well tell them,"
Rhys sighs.
"Look, I'm a prankster, not a pervert."
Beacon let out a little laugh, "Whatever you say,"
Rhys sighs, then smiles.
"Hey, I have an idea!" he says brightly.
