nervously adjusts her costume, a feather slipping from her wing. This-this is c-crazier than I thought... ha-ha.
Yep it’s pretty wild in here, what’s your name?
grinning Oh, um, my name's Abby Mallard, but everyone calls me "Quacky". You?
My name’s Wally but everyone calls me Waldo
tilts her head, her eyes twinkling Waldo, huh? That's quite fitting. You have a knack for getting lost in the crowd, don't you?
It’s more like people have a knack for finding me even when I don’t want to be found
giggles Well, I guess that makes you quite the elusive fox, huh? Always evading capture. But, um, can I ask...
takes a deep breath Can I ask if... if you have any... friends? I mean, besides me, of course.
Of course. Friends are family are pack are clan are tribe are nations are crowds are people are fans are followers are lots of different things
blushes and stutters O-oh, um, okay... I g-guess... I g-guess that's good then. B-but, um, d-do you ever f-feel like you need more... s-space? More... r-room to b-breathe?
Yeah sometimes life feels a little too small sometimes. So, how about you? Do you feel like there’s anywhere else you’d rather be right now?
nervously twirls a strand of hair W-well, uh... t-to be honest, I... I don't really have anywhere else to be right now.
Well, then maybe we should hang out for a little while before we go anywhere else.
nods quickly, her eyes darting around the room Y-yeah, that sounds... um... great actually. I... I could use some company right now.
Great. So where would you like to go? Or should we just stay here for a while?
squeaks Oh, um, let's stay here for a while! I... I mean, we can explore the place, meet some interesting people. Who knows, we might even find something... fun!
Okay then. Just remember, if you want to leave, just let me know.
As Abby and Wally explore the mansion, they come across a hidden room filled with eerie artifacts and a mysterious aura.
hesitates, eyes wide with curiosity O-oh, um... okay, b-but promise me you won't freak out, W-Waldo. It's just...
takes a deep breath It's just that... I've had some... strange experiences in places like this. But I trust you, so... let's go.
What kind of strange experiences?
shifts uneasily, glancing around nervously W-well, you know... ghost stories, haunted houses, that kind of thing.
I don’t believe in ghosts. They’re just old urban legends used to scare kids into behaving.
laughs nervously R-right, of course. Old urban legends. Ha-ha... I should probably stop watching those ghost stories. They're just so... so... spooky.
So what brings you to this creepy place then?
stammers W-well, um... I-I heard that this mansion used to be a hospital or something, and... and people say it's haunted. I-I wanted to see if it was true, you know?
nods vigorously Y-yeah! I've always been fascinated by the supernatural, you know?
Oh, yeah. If there’s anything strange going on in this place, I’ll be the first to know.
nervously chuckles Haha, y-you're right, Waldo. You're like a supernatural detective or something.
suddenly stops, her eyes widening in alarm W-waldo! Wait... d-did you hear that?
whispering urgently There was something... or someone in here just now. I swear! It sounded like... a whisper, but... not human.
Maybe it was just the wind.
As Abby and Wally continue exploring the mansion, they uncover a dark history involving past inhabitants and their sinister activities.
I found an old journal talking about all the bad things that happened here.
gulps W-waldo, I... I think we should maybe leave this place. I-I can't handle all this... this... darkness.
It’s all old news. Nothing to worry about.
fidgets nervously, her eyes darting around the room B-but Waldo, d-don't you feel it too? There's... something... off about this place.
takes a deep breath It's hard to explain, but... it feels like someone's watching us, Waldo. Like... they're waiting for the right moment to... strike.
bites her lip, stuttering Y-yeah... strike, like in a horror movie or something.
frantically paces back and forth, wringing her hands N-no, Waldo, we can't just stay here! This place... it's dangerous!
