After the Ordeal of the Church, Beth went to hiding in the unused movie theater. No one was at the box office or inside so it seemed safe to her.
"This place should be safe and the walls are sound-proofed but then again how long has it been since someone was in here?" she asked to the silence of the theater. "It's no Opera House but it will do."
Beth took a breath before starting into another song.

"TOBY!"
Outside the theater, Patrick wandered the streets in search of his friend, a look of concern etched onto his face that was uncharacteristic of the happy-go-lucky mage. But, hey, you'd be concerned too if your friend had transformed into a demon and gone missing in an unfamiliar environment.
He cupped his hands around his mouth and again screamed, "TOBYYYYYYYY!!"
When he was met with silence, he turned to the voices in his head for solace. "Guys, what I'm I gonna do?"
Think, Patrick. You're forgetting that we have divination abilities, Van replied. I could use a revealing spell to pinpoint Toby's exact location.
Do you have an answer for everything, Mr. Perfecto? Ray snapped.
No. I couldn't honestly tell you what triggered Toby and Darien's transformations.
Look, all I know is that if I was in charge, those two would be under control already.
"Wait..." Patrick spoke up. "You hear that?"
He turned towards the theater doors, cautiously poking his head inside. "Someone's... singing."
Yes, I hear it... Van said. Goodness... There's a powerful aura in here. And that voice... It's almost like a siren.
What the hell? Ray questioned in disbelief. Patrick, do you have a boner?!
Patrick didn't respond as he mindlessly followed the voice, eyes wide with pure, transfixed awe.

Mentally she was cursing her luck as she heard the doors open and close. Beth took a breath before singing again.
As she sung Beth wove through and sometimes jumped over the seats.

Patrick continued to follow that voice, his wide-eyed look of... how should I put this... whimsical digestion never fading. Despite Van's concerns for his safety and Ray yelling at him to beat it because he apparently hated this song, Patrick never stopped, never slowed, never questioned what he was doing.
He eventually found the exact theater that the angelic voice was being projected from, sitting down in the back row with his head in his hands and a dreamy smile taking up most of his face.
"Wow..."

As the song ended she sighed stepping into the back row.
"Well what did you think?" she asked the one in the room with her.

Patrick looked up at her with stars in his eyes. "That was... simply beautiful."

"Thanks. Any requests?" she asked calmly.
In the inter-workings of the siren's mind another song was cooking up just in case.

There was a hard blush in Patrick's cheeks and butterflies in his stomach. He felt like a little kid trying to figure out how to impress the girl he had a crush on. In the middle of his thoughts, Ray had to cut in and say, Pat, seriously, cover your crotch. You're making us all look bad.
He cleared his throat and did his best to straighten up. "D-Do you know... 'Sound of Silence' by Simon and Garfunkel?"

"I think I do~," she replied before taking a breath again.
The sounds filled the theater yet again. She danced out into the isle ways and throuh the rows once more.

As she sang, Patrick closed his eyes and breathed it in, letting the somber tune wash over him, occasionally mouthing the words with her...
"Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence"
Patrick! Van tried to get his attention. You mustn't forget about Toby and the others!
But it was no use. His mind was immersed in the tune, lost to this wondrous beacon of musical perfection.

As she stopped she sighed.
"Another set and location. But I still draw them in like flies to vinegar," she commented. "I take it that was the right song?"

Patrick opened his eyes, his smile faltering a little. "Yeah... Yeah, that was it. But... Is something...? D-Did I do something wrong?"

"No you didn't. But do you remember what you came in here for? she replied before sitting with him.

"Well, I heard you singing and wanted to check it out," Patrick answered sincerely, his smile still gentle but much more honest than before. "You're really good..."

Beth blushed. "Thank you for the complement~" she replied.
