[Beetlejuice laughed, staring down at the person he.. he was actively manipulating. Or well- not manipulating? Or maybe he- he didn't fucking know! It didn't matter to him right now, he was getting closer to being free/mortal, THAT'S what he cared about. He hadn't even expected them to be able to see him regardless, so this was pretty big for him. He had been waiting for a chance like this for a while now.]

"Just say my name 3 times, and I'll help ya out!" [He repeated, watching as the person merely stared up at him. They were still pretty confused- you would be too if a ghost suddenly showed up and started talking to ya- but at least he didn't have to do a whole musical number this time. That was tough man. But not everyone was fond of musical numbers, so to each their own he supposed.]

[There was a lot more past this step- but hell, he'd explain that to them later. Right now, he needed to get them to say his name and to trust him. But those were the easiest steps, so how hard could this actually be-"

"I don't know if I trust you."

[That sentence caught him off guard, blinking a few times as he registered, then looked over at them, cocking his eyebrow.]

"I- I'm sorry what? I'm your pal! What's not to trust?"
