Kiro’s Re-shoot Date Translation [CN]

Hello~ Thanks so much for your patience, everyone!! 💛

You can find the call that comes before this here!

This translation was done with the power of Duolingo and Google Translate.

The translation below contains spoilers for content that has not yet been released to the ENG server. If you wish to not be spoiled, then please don’t look below the cut.

Enjoy~

*Spoilers for future content below!*

[First Part]

In the colourful cafe, all kinds of shooting equipment are being put away one after another, and the staff are also finishing work.

Because of this alienation turmoil, the media like me and the big star Kiro became extremely busy.

I want to connect with various institutions and become their external mouthpiece, and the entertainment industry where Kiro lives will not miss this opportunity of “collective cuteness”.

He recently participated in a popular science entertainment show called “Furry Cafe”.

The show invited a series of Evol alienated entertainers to shoot with their own small animals in a cafe.

Kiro told me that today was the last day of his “Deacon Bear” filming. I ended my work early and wanted to pay him a surprise visit.

Staff A: Be careful, you don’t want your tail to touch the wire.

Staff B: Who ate durian in the cafe?! ….Oh, it’s your smell, sorry…

Staff C: Tsk, since the addition of a pair of ears, the device's position has to be adjusted accordingly…

The alien transformation of the population has been around for some time, and everyone has adapted to the work rhythm. Everything seems to be no different from normal.

But in sporadic words, there will be a small “friction” under normal circumstances.

I bypass a Mr. Tiger and a Miss Dark Horse as I make my way to the rest area.

After looking around, I didn’t see a “certain little bear”, only Savin.

MC: Savin, how about Kiro?

Savin pointed me in a direction, and my eyes crossed the dressing table and landed on Kiro in the shooting area in front of me.

He folded his arms and looked serious as if he was discussing something with the director.

After a day of filming, the deacon uniform on Kiro was no longer straight and ironed. The tight neckline was loosened, revealing part of his clavicle.

The blond hair maintains the fluffy look that has been set, but the two round bear ears that emerge from the hair are slightly drooping at the moment.

Even if you don’t look at his expression, you know that the owner of the ears is not in a good mood at the moment.

MC: What’s wrong with him? He doesn’t seem to be happy. Did something go wrong during the filming?

Savin: It wasn’t that there was a problem with the filming, but the director just informed him that he would have to come back tomorrow to take a few more shots.

MC: Huh? Do they have to reshoot tomorrow?

If they have to reshoot tomorrow, what about the vacation party I planned with Kiro?

Savin reluctantly spread his hands towards me, and the long kangaroo tail behind him also patted the ground anxiously. *Savin as a kangaroo is perfect lol. Great for beating the snacks out of Kiro’s hands XD*

Savin: Not to mention, the plan has not kept up with the changes recently.

Savin: The duration of this alienation is only one month, and everyone wants to do everything they can. I can get more exposure during the period. Alas, Kiro has only slept for four or five hours these past few days.

Savin: He was supposed to have a live broadcast the day after tomorrow, but it was urgently changed to tonight, and he had to rush to the live broadcast after he took his makeup off…

Savin was halfway through his thoughts and suddenly remembered something.

Savin: By the way, did you two make plans to go out tomorrow? Then now…

I smiled wryly and shook my head.

MC: Forget it, his job is more important. We can go out anytime, so I can wait till you’re done…

Kiro: MC, why are you here?

While talking, Kiro had already spotted me from not far away and came over.

I didn’t want Kiro to discover my disappointment, so I looked at him and gave him a big smile.

MC: Let me see the handsome Deacon Bear!

Kiro: Hehe, then you should’ve come a little earlier so that you could’ve seen how I was showing off my skills in the cafe!

Kiro: Anyway, it’s good that you came now.

After saying that, Kiro took my hand and took me towards the director.

Kiro: Director, you don’t have to find anyone else.

Kiro: The most suitable “Miss Maid” in my mind, is her. *Changed some wording*

Miss Maid?

I blinked in confusion, looked back at Kiro, and then at the director.

The director snorted and frowned.

Director: Don’t bring anyone else to deal with me.

Kiro still kept a smile and held my shoulder diligently.

Kiro: Director, she’s not someone I just picked randomly.

Kiro: MC and I have collaborated many times, we know each other very well, and the shooting will be much smoother that way.

Kiro: And look at her height, her looks, and the rabbit ears… Aren’t they a perfect match for me? *SWOONING RN 😍*

As he said that, Kiro winked at me. Although I was confused, I tacitly tilted my head towards him and showed him a “business smile”.

MC: Right.

Director: …………

I have not contacted and cooperated with the director of this show, but I have heard of him.

I heard that his shows are very lighthearted and humorous, yet he is very serious. I didn’t know such a person could shoot so many funny scenes.

Affected by the alienation of Evol, the director also turned into a fat leopard.

The golden leopard’s ear stood upright, just like the sharp eyes he was looking at me with at this moment.

I became more and more uncomfortable as the stare continued. Just when I was about to lose my “business smile”, the director finally nodded.

Director: Okay, it looks really good.

Director: Then you remember to give her the content you want to make up. Tomorrow morning, neither of you are allowed to be late.

Kiro: Yes sir!

[Second Part]

Host: Tonight, we have a very important guest in our live room!

Host: I saw that his name was already being whispered in the audience, he is- Kiro!

Kiro: Hello everyone, I’m Kiro~

The audience was instantly brushed with a bunch of small stars going “ah”. I was also affected by the warm atmosphere and secretly gave him an “Ah, his bear ears are so cute!”. *Changed some wording*

The bouncing star effects sprinkled on Kiro’s shoulders, making him look as if he was sparkling.

After coming out of the shooting scene in the cafe, Kiro and I rushed to the studio of the live broadcast room without stopping.

Putting on makeup, checking the process, getting familiar with the problems… Kiro didn’t have any rest time. And even during a meal break, he just ate half a protein bar between styling.

Despite the chaos behind him, he is still flawless in front of the camera at this moment without any trace of fatigue.

Kiro: This seems to be the first time I’ve met you in a live broadcast after my alienation. I wonder how the little sodas are doing recently?

The audience was again full of “Very good, how about you?”.

Kiro: Me? Umm…

Kiro: Actually, I was also shocked when the Evol alienation first happened. I was a little frustrated at first, although I later got used to it. I grew up with a bear for myself, so I was a little disappointed with the bear ears. *wording*

Host: Huh, why?

Kiro: Because I think I should be a more powerful animal… like a T-Rex! Rawr!

Kiro made a pompous expression, causing the audience to bust out laughing, including me.

Kiro: But now that I think about the bear, I think it suits me well as it’s pretty. Its scent is also very suitable.

Host: That’s right, speaking of another future alienation, I heard that the scent of Kiro is honey?

Kiro: Not quite exactly… it’s like a mix of a grapefruit, honey and sugar drink!

Savin: Damn, does Kiro have such an accurate perception of his own scent? *His face XD*

MC: Heh…

Under the stage, Savin touched his chin with a surprised expression, and I moved uncomfortably in my seat.

Why the hell did this guy have to say what I said about his scent on the stream?!

To be able to know the smell so precisely and so carefully, of course, from the hair, to the neck, to the fingers… *Gurl, whatcha been up to???*

Thinking of the first few nights after the alienation, the two of us were always sniffing each other’s scents. My face became a little hot.

The host didn’t seem to care and went on to the next topic.

Host: Sure enough, it’s a very sweet smell! I’m a little curious, during this time, has Kiro smelled anything that he likes very much?

Kiro: Of course I have.

Kiro smiled and looked at the camera, seeming to look past it and see me blushing instead.

Kiro: One of my favourite scents is very fragrant, like June’s peach.

(Cut to car)

Kiro: *sighs*

The two-hour live broadcast finally ended, and as soon as I got back into the car, Kiro immediately lay on top of me like a deflated ball.

Kiro: I’m exhausted….

The vague syllables mixed with heat fell on the side of my neck, making my heart melt.

MC: You have worked so hard this time.

Kiro: You also, haven’t had any rest for many days?

MC: I’m a little better than you, at least in regard to today’s work. After the work is done, I can rest for two days.

Kiro: I’m so envious… *whines* If it weren’t for the director’s perfectionist ways, tomorrow’s time would have belonged to the both of us!

Hearing him mutter this angrily, I couldn’t help reaching out and rubbing his head.

My fingers fell through the hair and fell on the bear’s ears, the soft and warm fur made me reluctant to pull away.

MC: By the way, you haven’t told me what I will be doing for tomorrow’s shoot. What am I doing?

Kiro: It’s actually very simple. You will be Deacon Bear's assistant tomorrow. Just interact with the little animals with me, and take a few shots of the dessert making.

Kiro: If it goes well, it can be done in about half a day.

MC: Just half a day? That’s great!

MC: Can we do this in half an extra day? And then go out to play?

Kiro raised his eyes and met my excited gaze, the corners of his mouth raised.

Kiro: *yawning* Well, of course…

The ending of the word “course” was completely covered by the uncontrollable yawning sound, and the usually clear blue eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist in the dim car.

He is really tired.

The moment I realized this, my heart tightened and I blurted out.

MC: Forget it, I won’t be going anywhere after filming tomorrow. Let’s go home and sleep.

MC: After all, it’s not easy to arrange any activities in such a short time, it’s better to use it to nourish the spirit…

Kiro: That’s no good.

Kiro interrupted me. He changed his posture, wrapped his arms around me, and pinned me in the corner of the car.

Kiro: I made a date with you, even if the sky falls, I can’t change the plan.

MC: But in your current state, how can you still have energy…

Kiro: Miss Chips, are you looking down on me?

His breath changed a bit, like the ice cubes in the original honey grapefruit drink gradually melted, and the sweetness invaded his breath irresistibly.

Kiro: You don’t have to worry about tomorrow, I will arrange it.

Kiro: As for how much energy I have left… do you want to make sure?

His low laughter fell on my ear, and his enthusiasm ran down my neck.

The narrow space is unavoidable, and I can only let his fingers hold the short rabbit tail behind me, and then mess around. *Idk if GT translated this right, but I’d like to think that he went in for the kill lol*

At this moment, a ray of light from the window fell on the rear-view mirror of the car, and I widened my eyes in the rich and sweet fragrance in confusion.

MC: …Kiro! Wait…

Buzz–

Before the words were finished, the silence of the co-pilot made the driver raise the screen of the car. *Guy knows what’s up lmfao*

Under the dim headlights, Kiro’s smile was full of slyness.

Kiro: There’s no waiting. *Gurl is about to be devoured by a bear 😆*

The space is completely closed.

[Third Part]

Early in the morning, Kiro and I came to the cafe on time.

Perhaps because it was a supplementary shot, there were very few staff members who came today. At first glance, they were basically insiders who knew my relationship with Kiro.

My eyes scanned the cafe, and I was immediately drawn to the bear behind the fence in the corner of the hall.

MC: Wow!! Such a cute little bear!

The chubby little brown bear is like a soft sesame dumpling, being held in the arms of the caretaker with a small red bowtie around its neck.

I couldn’t help but lean forward, and the little bear stood up behind the fence and stretched out his small paws towards me as if he was not afraid of anyone and wanted a hug. *Changed some wording*

MC: Is it okay if I pet him?

Caretaker: Of course, the bear likes humans. He should like you very much~

MC: Thanks!

I stretched out my hand cautiously, stroked the little bear’s head with my fingertips along the brown fur, and then touched the little bear’s ears.

MC: So soft… Kiro, I didn’t expect his ears to feel the same as yours…!

As I was talking, I turned my head and saw Kiro squatting behind me, looking at me resentfully with puffed cheeks.

Kiro: Miss Chips, there is also a “cute little bear” that you forgot about as soon as you walked through that door.

MC: Pff… sorry, sorry, then I’ll make sure to pet you, too.

I was about to rub Kiro’s head when suddenly a shadow fell between us.

The fat director was holding a cup of coffee, his tail swept around impatiently, and stared at us both coldly.

Director: You haven’t changed your outfit yet, are you planning to shoot again next year?

Kiro and I stuck out our tongues and slipped into the dressing room.

(Cut to dressing room)

Until I sat on the stool in the dressing room, I had some lingering fears.

MC: The director is really scary, staring at him makes me feel like I was caught by the dean when I was in school…

Makeup artist: Ha…

Kiro: Hahaha!

MC: What are you laughing at?

Makeup artist: Is Miss MC meeting Director Ju for the first time?

MC: Yes, I only heard about him in the rumours before, is he very fierce and strict with you?

Kiro: Well, it's really fierce and strict, but also…

Kiro quietly pointed to the director not far away and lowered his voice.

Kiro: Didn’t you notice what kind of animal Director Ju is?

MC: Isn’t he a leopard?

Kiro: Look again, what kind of leopard does he look like?

I turned my head to look at the director and saw that he patted his belly contentedly after drinking his coffee, then took something out of his bag and stuffed it into his mouth.

If I’m seeing this right, it seems to be the dorayaki that is very hard to buy on Huapu Street?

MC: I remember… he kinda looks like the one character before in one of the cartoons I watched, the leopard officer who loves doughnuts!

Kiro: Bingo! No one saw it before, but after the alienation, everyone discovered that Director Ju, like Police Officer Leopard, was actually a super foodie.

Kiro: As long as you feed him delicious food, he won’t be able to say anything serious~

Kiro: So since the discovery of his hidden attribute, no one in the show group is afraid of him anymore.

MC: …So alienation can also make people discover each other’s hidden attributes?

Kiro: Hmhm~ It depends on how you observe.

Having said that, I looked at Kiro curiously.

Kiro had already dressed and was arranging the tie of the deacon’s uniform. He seemed to have noticed my sight, turned his head and gave me a charming smile.

Does Kiro also have any “hidden attributes”?

(Cut to cafe scene)

Director: Well, now that this skylight is just right to connect with yesterday’s footage, let’s officially start shooting!

The camera was quickly in place, Kiro had already arrived in front of the camera with a perfect smile.

Kiro: Welcome to Furry Cafe!

Director: Stop.

The director stared at the screen and shook his head.

Director: Without the guests, Kiro looks too lonely in the camera, so he should take the bears, too.

Everyone hurriedly hugged the little bears, Kiro took a deep breath and smiled again.

Kiro: Welcome to Furry Cafe!

Director: Stop.

Director: There is no sense of interaction, it is too dry, and it is necessary to let the bears perform the feeling of guests.

Indeed, in the camera, Kiro said that he was welcome, but the little bears didn’t respond, they just played around on their own, and the picture looked a little incongruous.

But the caretaker frowned when he heard the director’s request.

Caretaker: Director, our little bears are not domesticated pets and cannot do animal performances.

Caretaker: This is what we communicated before shooting. If you must guide, then please let me be professional.

Director: No, you won’t be able to connect with the people behind you in the camera, and you will wear out.

Caretaker: Why are you so unreasonable?!

The two parties immediately quarrelled. I looked at Kiro, he also gave me a helpless look, and even the faint honey smell on his body didn’t smell as sweet.

Wait– honey…smell…

MC: Director Ju, may I suggest a way to try it?

MC: I’ve heard that bears have a very good sense of smell, and we can hide their favourite things behind signboards to lure them with the scents.

MC: This way the camera doesn’t film anything extra. Would you be willing to try?

The director, who had been sullen, turned to me, and the tail behind him swayed slowly from side to side and then flicked.

Director: MC, you are worthy of being a professional producer, this method is good.

I hid the honey and berries behind the sign and the cameras were running again.

Kiro: I’m Kiro, Deacon Bear, welcome to Furry Cafe!

The smell of berries and honey dissipated, and the playful little bears raised their heads.

They sniffed the air and then scrambled to the counter.

Kiro: What would you like to eat: honey cake, vanilla cream, or walnut parfait?

Bear: *little roar*!

Unable to bear the temptation of delicious food, the little bears stretched out their paws eagerly, as if they were pointing at the menu on the signboard.

There was an impatient bear that grabbed Kiro’s trouser legs and crawled up.

Kiro picked up the bear with a smile and put it on his shoulder.

The clear morning light shone through the glass window on the bright counter, blending his blond hair into a patch of sunlight.

The brown bear sat with the golden deacon, fluffy ears swaying in sync.

The sweet fragrance is overflowing, and it is unclear whether it comes from the stylish jar of honey hidden behind the sign, or from the invisible charm emanating from Kiro.

Kiro: It looks like the guests have already made up their minds about what to eat, right?

[Fourth Part]

After shooting the welcome, the next shot was much easier.

The caretaker guided the little bears to the activity area, and we played various games with them while doing other activities.

Kiro: The eyesight of the bears is not that bad, it is not much different from that of humans…

MC: Not all bears hibernate, for example, the deacon bear next to me does not!

Kiro: If possible, Deacon Bear also wants to hibernate…

MC: Pff, hahaha!

Kiro: And people used to misunderstand that the bears stood up to attack, but they were just watching.

Kiro: For example, the little bear that is standing is observing whether the rabbit maid is hostile to it.

Kiro nodded to me, I smiled and stretched out my hand to the bear.

MC: Hello~

The little bear staggered a few steps, and with a clatter, his thick little paws landed on the palm of my hand.

Director: OK, last shot, let’s go to the kitchen to make dessert!

MC: Did I just hear the director say it’s the last shot?

MC: This progress is much faster than I thought! Didn’t we finish filming in less than half a day?

Kiro shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Kiro: I don’t think he’ll let the two of us go through so easily…

(Cut to cafe)

Director: The degree of the whipping cream is not enough!

Director: What’s the matter with your method, it’s not professional enough at first glance!

Director: I won’t allow you to just pretend, the taste of the finished product must also be delicious!

— Is this the quality of the director as a super foodie?

I looked at the messy kitchen in frustration and let out a long sigh. Kiro reached out and poked my drooping rabbit ears lightly.

Kiro: Tired?

MC: I’m fine, I was just thinking…

MC: Our company is preparing to do a food show next season, should I invite Director Ju to come?

Kiro: Pff…I think you can try. He might appreciate yours.

Kiro: But until then, if the two of us can make the perfect dessert, it should improve his odds of accepting the invitation.

MC: Mm! So let’s keep fighting?

Kiro and I gave each other a high-five, and once again plunged into the “ocean” of eggs, powdered sugar, and flour.

Finally, under the strict guidance of Director Ju, raspberry cake, colourful macarons, and lemon sponge cake were successfully made.

Director Ju flicked his tail and carefully looked at our results when he suddenly looked up at me.

Director: Have you tried it? How does it taste?

MC: Me? Uh…I tasted a little bit and though it was delicious, it depends on whether you are satisfied…

The director laughed suddenly. His ears trembled, and for a moment, his big round face almost overlapped with the cute leopard police officer in that cartoon.

Director: I don’t think it’s delicious, he said you think it’s delicious. Just do it.

MC: Eh? “He said”?

I didn’t understand what the director meant by these words, and his face immediately became serious again.

Director: I see that your hands are covered in cream, hurry up and wash them. I won’t allow such unclean shots!

MC: Yes! Director, I’ll go right away!

After getting along for a while, how could I dare to not listen to him? I rushed to the bathroom.

(Cut to hall)

But when I returned to the hall after cleaning, I found that there was nothing in front of me. The director, the staff, the bears…are all gone.

MC: Where is everyone?

Kiro: The reshoots are over, now it is time for my date with you.

The voice came from behind me, I turned my head and saw Kiro walking from the kitchen with a smile.

MC: Date? Wait…now it’s time for a date?

Kiro: Of course, it's a date here.

Kiro: Miss Rabbit, you are the last guest at “Furry Cafe” today and Deacon Bear is happy to serve you.

He snapped his fingers, and the playful and lively music in the cafe changed into an elegant waltz.

The afternoon sun is not as simple and direct as the early morning but has a layer of laziness and ambiguity.

Kiro motioned for me to push the dessert cart, and he picked up the coffee from the table and walked forward with me.

Kiro: Because I didn’t want to waste all of your time today with the shoot, I negotiated with the director yesterday to make up for the shoot. After that, the venue would be taken care of by me.

His voice was low and apologetic.

MC: So all of this dessert making between the two of us for half a day…

Kiro: Was actually for us.

Kiro: By the way, let me state that the director was very satisfied with the dessert scene and said that he would go back and edit it carefully!

MC: Phew…

No wonder the director said he thought it was delicious, and no wonder Kiro wanted to make the perfect dessert…

Even in such a chaotic space and time, he still managed to surprise me. *wording*

Stepping to the melody, we came to the corner of the cafe.

I don’t know when the balloons were piled up here, but behind the gorgeous dining table, are a bunch of lazy sofas.

I looked at Kiro in surprise, he proudly put the coffee on the table and smiled.

Kiro: I think my guest would prefer this to a formal dining room chair.

MC: Of course! I really like it!

I smiled and took Kiro’s hand, and fell onto the lazy sofa with him.

Soft particles collapse under our bodies, each other’s breath within close distance.

The peach aroma mixed with his honey scent became thick and indistinguishable.

I burrowed into his arms addicted, enjoying the time that was just for the two of us right now.

MC: Speaking of which, I took a closer look at you today and wanted to see how you were different from before the alienation.

MC: It doesn’t seem like you have any hidden attributes…

Kiro: Huh? I thought you figured it out a while ago.

MC: Eh? I didn’t find it…what is it exactly?

Kiro’s kiss landed on my bunny ears, hugging me even tighter.

Kiro: My hidden attribute…is that like those little bears, my will is very unstable, and I can easily be seduced by what I like.

Kiro: For example, this peach-flavoured bunny right in front of me. *THIS PEACH IS ALL YOURS TO GOBBLE UP 😩*

DPxDC AU: Tim receives an interesting email from DalvCo explaining why the CEO is not to be trusted- It's an internal email and suddenly Tim is experiencing supernatural phenomena. He knows that the two events are absolutely related, but he's going to let the cutie stumble his way through data points and vague threats anyway.

(Sorry this got long lmao)

Tim is exhausted after a long night of staking out a new drug cartel with Hood (which in itself took a lot of energy from both of them to have the patience for the other- things are good, not great)... so right now he's logging into his WE email on the train to his office because he's incredibly late. And while he scrolls and contemplates the failsafes he has to make sure Tam doesn't murder him outright- he sees an unexpected email from Vladimir Masters.

Tim's curiosity is piqued, he'd thought that Vlad would have gotten the hint after Tim dismissed him at that Christmas gala a few years ago. Most people took Tim's snubbing as a fatality in the Gotham socialite scene- Most knew him to be 'an agreeable young man', and Tim's reputation had paid a small price for making Vlad's failed vibe check known to the room. The tabloids blamed it on the champagne glass he had in his hand- Has he mentioned how much he hates Vicky Vale lately??

Tim has a few stops to go and he's pretty sure that he's going to delete the email, but in sleep deprived inspiration, he decides it might as well entertain him while he waits. The letter isn't at all what he expected.

"Hello Wayne Enterprise's CEO Tim Drake, I'm sending you this letter on behalf of the entire Midwest to advise that you, under no circumstances, come into contact with or speak to the CEO of DalvCo Vlad Masters. He is underhanded and utilizes untraceable tactics to procure deals. We have reason to believe you may be targeted in the next few days and hope that you are able to take steps for your own safety to avoid Vlad Masters at all costs.

Sincerely, 👑"

Tim feels bewildered for a moment and then... Like a cat with a new toy mouse. A game was afoot! He needed to track down these hackers, he needed to be their best fucking friend (find out their secrets & Vlads) and he needed to apprehend Vlad ASAP! Untraceable tactics? Tim scoffs, but the challenge excites him.

Arriving at WE, Tam looks ready to throw a knife his way (he reminds her that Pru does it better) and states that if Vlad Masters tries to make an appointment- accept it but give him the run around. Make an appointment and continue to contest it, change it, delay it until Tim is actually ready for him. The lights start to flicker, both of them notice it.

Everytime Tim gets a second to investigate Vlad in his office, the room's temperature drops. Tim notices it, and having experienced a number of supernatural phenomena, he knows it has to be related.

Tim decides not to beat around the bush. He comes back to the office that night equipped with a Ouija board, candles and a bag of other occult accessories. He quickly finds, upon setting up, that there is now a groaning Teenager in front of him- lambasting his efforts and chastizing him for taking a meeting with Vlad. Did he not get the fuckin memo??

Tim quickly begins to ask his questions, grateful to not have to deal with the party game board, and takes diligent notes.

"Right, so, you're just a concerned citizen ghost who knows what kind of nefarious deeds Vlad gets up to, how?" ---

Danny is losing his shit. Here he is, having done all the ground work to tell this guy not to meet with Vlad and he's already got him on the schedule! Danny took a page from Technus' book and transported himself alongside the short email. He didn't get this guy at all! Tim was like, basically the same age and clearly super fucking smart, why was he acting like this was a fucking birthday gift? Scratch that, the dude has a Ouija Board- it's like a lame ass birthday party in here!

Danny cannot help himself but return to the visible spectrum and give this guy a talking to- Which, the atmosphere of a birthday party still doesn't change, for ancient's sake this guy is taking notes with a megawatt smile! He's smiling! Danny just described Vlad taking down like, three American dynasties and the dude is nodding his head along gleefully.

Then suddenly, Danny realizes that he might be on the chopping block. Tim asks his first question and it's not about Vlad at all.

"Er, yeah. Just a concerned ghost citizen." Danny cringes.

"Right, and that's why you hacked into the Mayor of your town's email... Right Tucker?"

Danny blanches, not because the guy knew about Amity Park, but because apparently Tucker's online persona had been compromised. SHIT.

"Uh, I'm not Tucker." Danny attempts to lie- why was he so bad at lying again?!

"Of course you aren't, he's currently playing doomed, but it would have been smart to take the out I offered you. Do you want to tell me your name or do you want me to throw out another random guess? You should know that I've done my homework."

"...It's Danny."

"Certainly not Danny Fenton? Who is, sorry to say it, heir to DalvCo? The same one who totally doesn't have a school record of absences equivalent to well documented town hauntings?"

"Yep." Danny cringes, and giving up the goat, transforms back into his human self, "But seriously dude, you can't meet with Vlad. He'll just... take it all."

Tim blinks at him a few times, and his cheeks flush. Danny desperately tries to ignore that response as well as his own (he knows his ears are red, sue him).

"Right. Well, how would you like an internship? First order of business would be meeting with me and my PA Tam and helping us play ball." The guy has a feral grin. The grin kind of scares Danny, it definitely annoys him and a small part of him is curiously charmed.

"Dude you're not hearing me-" Danny tries before being cut off.

"Yeah yeah, supernatural bullshit is involved, Got that." Tim waves him off. Okay never mind, not charmed at all, Danny is completely annoyed.

"I swear to all the ancients-" Danny has to stop himself to calm down, "Dude consider yourself fucking haunted. I'm not helping you with a suicide mission to talk to the creep and I will be making your ass miserable for deciding to go down this path."

"Is that a promise?" Tim is basically batting his eyelashes at Danny and Danny is desperately trying to ignore that.

"Bet." And then he goes invisible.

"That's cute, pretending to leave me." Tim smirks and Danny can't help but let out an exasperated groan.

As it turns out, Tim is incredibly difficult to spook and his normal haunting methods are not fucking working. Has this guy just, like, seen every single horror movie?

----

Tim knows this is going to be fun, even if it means not going out as Red Robin for a while... Maybe he should get back into his night photography and give the guy a chance to enhance the creepiness of Gotham? Maybe start going to restaurants alone and get the guy to join him at a secluded two person table? Tim has plans on plans on plans.
