Villain Ryous are the new black.
[Suddenly, a British accent rings out through the dark, accompanied by the sound of sneakers tripping over themselves.]
H-hello? Anybody?
.....Oh dear.
[Something around his neck jangles in the silence.]

Hello?
[He glances around for the speaker. Brooklime's Ring is rather less jangly.]

[Something might have just bumped into you. Oops.]
Oh, there you are! Sorry about that.

Ah- my fault. My ring didn't catch you, did it? [Though it isn't reacting. Brooklime's ring can be faulty at the worst possible moments.]
It's not the lights - it's just been like this for a little while. It sorts itself out, I think. Supposedly? [That sounded very uncertain. Also mildly apologetic for his own babbling.]

He reaches up to scratch behind his head, chuckling nervously.]
Ah, no, it's quite all right! I'm fine...
Didn't the lights only just turn off?

Thistle's pretty good at navigating in the dark, but her mun doesn't know if the halloween event is still in effect or not she's haunted by regrets even on her BEST days, so the DR's choice of torment has left her very jumpy and grumpy.
With a ring and the silly accent, though, Clematis happens to be a living reminder of her regrets. He seems far more corporeal than the others, and he's the first straight-up other dubkura she's run into, which just makes her think he's supposed to be the DR's imitation of younger thinner Nerf.
So, mostly convinced he's just another torment, she sinks into the deepest shadows she can find, hopefully before he spots her.]
If only there were some simple way to determine whether you were real or not.
[The slow shiiiiiiiiink of a knife sliding out of place. She's half determined to out-villain the DR, or maybe she wants to prove something by showing it she'll do the very thing she regrets doing again so she can prove it isn't REALLY a regret and it doesn't bother her or ( ... )

[That startled noise? He just jumped in shock, only to hunch a bit in shame by the time he lands. He's got to stop being so excitable. The Ring will look after him if he's in trouble. It has to.]
Wh-who's there? Answer me!
[It might be a little too late to try "brave and forceful". Especially when he hasn't placed where the voice is coming from yet. But he's turning your way, Thistle.]

[She makes no attempt to conceal herself more than she already has, cocking her head slightly in the shadows.]
Who am I?
I'm quite hurt, landlord.
[She lets her voice dip into the menacing husk that she used whilst being a creepy Ring spirit, though it's less Ted Lewis and more Olivia Williams nowadays.
She figures it's the best way to gauge his reaction; if he is a specter of regret he will presumably cow away in the most guilt-inducingly fearful way possible.]

Then, curious, he's taking half a step towards the shadows. What's going on? He has to be brave and check. If there's more than one copy of everyone, and they can sound different, then it could be...somehow...
Big innocent eyes. Staring right at you, Thistle.]
....R-ring?
