i. ryan bergara ii. demon iii. scoping out new location
iv. with shane vi. tampa, florida

the trip to tampa, florida had been very time consuming. ryan had not planned at all that his carry-on bag for the plane would be considered a "luggage" item and would have to be checked in as such. he also didnt plan for the fact that the flight would be delayed due to pretty severe thunderstorms near the tampa area, leaving both ryan and shane to be stuck at lax for about five hours past their scheduled flight. ryan wouldnt call himself much of a worry-wart, but when it came to his job, he couldnt help but feel a small bit nervous. shane, of course, the entire time seemed to enjoy the fact that they were stuck at lax, just so he could try all the airport restrooms and eat all of the horrible food it served there. shane had something ryan envied, and that was the free spirit shane seemed to carry with him. ryan couldnt help but feel stuck in his own small, little world.
-
it was twelve fifty-six am when the storm was lifted and the flight was deemed ready to board. "took 'em about an eternity." he mumbled, barely audible for anyone to hear, but still, since shane was so close to him, he couldve heard it. the two had boarded the plane, and about four hours and thirty minutes later, they had landed, and were ready to make their way to the seemingly haunted location named the "cuban club" that residents in both the club itself and in the surrounding areas claim to see shadowy figures waltzing in the windows, and a grand piano playing melodies by itself. whenever ryan and shane would scope out a new location to film, ryan would always get nauseous. not only by the fact that they were going someplace new that could eventually end up being their demise, it was the unknown fact of wether or not shane would find out than ryan himself was part of the supernatural, and not of this world. constantly around those ghost hunting equipment would make ryan nervouse that a big red light would blink and words on a huge billboard would pop up, splatting the words "ryan is a freaking demon" in all caps. but so far so good.
-
they had a rental car given to them, courtesy of buzzfeed, and it was a quick thirty minute drive until they arrived at their destination. shane had been uncharacteristically quiet, and that rubbed ryan in a way. "well we're here. the 'cuban club'. youve been really quiet lately, is everything alright? we can go check into our hotel and scope tomorrow if youre too tired." ryan suggested, ready to turn on the car again and drive them to their hotel if need be. there was something about a quiet shane that made him feel uneasy.

{{yo yo yo, sorry this was short and horrible. too many time skips, yikes.
hope this is ok ;0;}}

x[ "fun demon" • feeling a bit on edge • with ryan ]

unsolved was always a great excuse for shane to go out and explore the world. shane never had the chance to do any of this down in hell. the awfully long wait for their plane didn't seem to bother him at all. it gave him enough time to screw around at the airport and drag ryan along with him. everything on earth was enough to somehow amuse him. one of those things happened to be ryan bergara. the man never seemed to fail at making him laugh or smile. shane could listen to him for hours rambling about nonsense and still pay attention to him.

for most of the trip, he started to wonder how he managed to end up here, working on a ghost hunting show. ironic how a demon had to pretend to be a skeptic for the sake of a show. he found the entire idea hilarious which is why he continued to keep it up. it was surprising with how long he was able to keep up the act. ryan didn't even know any of this, and shane didn't want him to know. after hearing him talk about his own fears about demons, he didn't want to know what ryan would do if he found out. especially with his apparently vast knowledge of demons. their relationship wasn't something he wanted to risk losing.

once they finally arrived, shane found himself staring at the club for a bit too long. most locations didn't make him feel uneasy, but he was quick to catch onto the presence of the supernatural in there. shane would never admit this to anyone, but he's always felt some kind of worry for ryan whenever they were at any haunted location. the quietest sound was enough to nearly give him a heart attack.

he was snapped out of his thoughts when ryan spoke. "hmm?" he hadn't realized exactly how quiet he was the entire drive. "i'm fine, ryan. nothing to worry about here." shane gave him a smile although it appeared to be somewhat forced. ryan wasn't wrong, he was feeling tired. the trip took a lot out of him. still, he didn't want to waste any time here. shane was more worried about ryan than himself. he looked back to the back of the car to see their small crew getting ready to start filming. "how 'bout we start hunting some ghouls?" he said, turning to face ryan again.

// aaa it's great! ^^

ryan had definately noticed the forced smile shane gave to him, and his insides couldnt help but tighten in worry. shane was literally ryans best friend, and he couldnt help but worry and fuss when it came to the tall man-child. "if you insist."
the small filming crew along with the the demon and his friend entered the cuban club hesitantly, almost as if this was the place they were going to find a ghost or maybe record a convincing evp. little did they know that the supernatural was quite literally standing under their noses. ryan is short, so theres no exaggeration.

as the group slowly opened the door to the old, creaky building, ryan couldnt help but shiver a little, the cold air from inside, and dusty air from within the club giving him an uneasy feeling. he smiled through it, though, knowing it would probably lighten the mood, and maybe get shane out of his funk. the group entered the cuban club. it was pitch black. you couldnt see your own hand waving in front of your face. ryan stumbled around at first, trying to use what little light the moonlight offered from the windows to search for some sort of light switch. he felt up against the wall, and mumbled in frustration. "wheres the damn lightswitch?" he kept fumbling around until his hands touched something warm and fleshy. ryan shrieked and quickly grabbed his phone's flashlight to shine a light on whatever it was. it was tall man-child.
ryan had basically tickled shanes torso in attmept to find the lightswitch. he felt a warm flush cover his face and hoped it was too dark to notice. "sorry shane. damn, if you would be helping me find the light switch, that probably wouldnt have happened. get to it." ryan said in a joking manner, giving shane a toothy little smirk. they continued looking for a little bit longer with their flashlights until ryan had found it on the west side of the entryway, basically out of eyesight. he flipped on the switch, and almost instantly, the club came alive.
the dim, honey colored lights flickered on, bathing the surrounding area in a sleepy-like haze. the group was standing in the entrance of what seemed to be a bar/lobby. brown speckled tiles donned the floor, no scuffs in sight. to their left, there was the stereotypical nineteen fifty's bar with tall, red barstools and a counter with old wooden shelves behind it, properly used for booze and whisky and maybe some vodka. to their right was a spiral staricase that led to the second floor where most of the paranomal activity took place, which was the actual club itself.
ryan could almost feel how old the place was. he imagined seeing couples in scantely clad outfits, leaving everything on the dance floor just to make heads turn. he got goosebumps.
ryan huffed and placed his hands on his hips as he turned to shane. "so what now? he inquired. "is there anything you wanna do first?"

{sorry it took forever. had to work yesterday and today yikes}

the first thing he thought about this location was that it was old, dusty, and very dark. he fumbled a bit, trying to make his way through. one of the crew members gave him a small camcorder to film with. as he continued to walk through the building, there still was the unshakeable feeling that there was something more to this place. maybe this was the place where they were going to find something. well, they already have since the show started. he'd always found it funny with how unaware everyone was with that fact that shane was one of the paranormal.

attempting to turn on a camera in the dark probably wasn't the best idea. in the midst of the darkness, there was the feeling of someone's hands touching his chest and the sound of a familiar shriek. he could feel his face heat up in a blush when he realized ryan had just touched him. thankfully, it was dark enough for no one to see. shane ended up breaking out into rather loud laughter. his free hand was used in an attempt to muffle the sounds. "we haven't even started our actual investigation, and you're already screaming," he joked, a grin on his face. "it's not my fault you can't see in the dark." his mood seemed to have brightened by a bit. shane didn't want ryan worrying over him the entire time they were here.

once the lights were on, the atmosphere seemed to change almost instantly. shane was able to get a clear idea of what the place was like. it felt like your simple, run of the mill club, but there was something special about this one. at every location, he had always found it fun to imagine what life was like in the past. to be thinking of people dancing without a care, as if they were unaware of their own fate. men and women alike getting drunk and overindulging. it was a dainty little place. he can see how it was bustling and full with life back then.

the camera in his hand was finally turned on, and he started recording shots of the lobby and bar. shane turned to talk with ryan. he found himself focusing the camera on him as he spoke. "i'd say we go upstairs," he suggested, shrugging lightly. "seems like the most obvious choice."

// it's all good!
