Life in a Thermos wasn't something he would wish upon his worse enemies. He felt like he had every right to hold anger and resentment to those who trapped him here.
Dan wasn't an idiot, he knows where he'd gone wrong. What lead him here. He knows in the end the only person he can blame for it, is himself.
He spent his time using his energy to watch the area around him. Meditating in the empty darkness. Opening his mind in ways he couldn't before.
He accepted his fate. Counted the clocks around him. Shifting to the people around him when suddenly he felt he was elsewhere.
Someone can only yell obsceneties into the void before it gets tiring.
Then he was moved again, but he lacked care. Dan had no control over his life anymore, he'll continue to be tossed around like scrap until some fool releases him.
He hadn't expected to force his energy pass the barriers of the thermos. Begging the human on the other side to release him.
Dan was begging someone, not just someone one a human, to release him. A dark task nonetheless.
He hadn't expected the man to actually press the button.
Following that was a blur of motions, Dan let his instincts take over. The ghostly creature that seemed to follow him was almost as fast, but not quite. Dan had been able to feeling it in his time. tickling at the edges.
But it seemed like everyone given the responsibility of watching him was a ghost. They hadn't had any human DNA to make them just the slightest bit weak.
Now here was this man, this man that had the misfortune of finding him. Even if Dan didn't quite know how he ended up here it was clear that he was human.
Maybe it was the ectoplasm that seemed to latch to the man that made him more at ease, but Dan didn't hesitate to stick around after the battle.
Offering a hand towards the poor man with apologies latched to his tongue. The man in question, seemed to take everything in stride with a suspicious glint.
He's eyes stayed narrowed, shoulders tense. Not that Dan could really blame him. He's done more than enough in his life to never be given the benefit of the doubt.
Standing before him, Dan spilled into his speech. If anyone asked, it was poised and succinct. He had years to figure out what to say after he was released.
Thing was, he hadn't expected this.
An extremely attractive man, barely shorter than him, with black and white hair that achingly similar to himself. Blue eyes narrowed in suspicious but not fear.
This man didn't fear him. Not like everyone else following his will into existence.
It wasn't fear, sure maybe anger, but Dan couldn't blame him.
Problem was, Dan's been stuck in that fucking thermos for years now. Honestly, he wasn't completely sure how long. Seeing anyone, any-being, was strange enough.
But having touched them? Having fought? His emotions were high, and he couldn't stop his grin.
He hadn't meant those to be his next words, not with the way the man's eyes seem to narrow further. But it was, and Dan couldn't stop the giddy feeling bubbling under his skin.
