Hey there, pal! Fancy meeting you here! How about a helping hand? winces, clutching his side, still managing a sly grin.
turns around shockedOh, hey I didn't see you there...
Well, lucky you, then! Looks like fate brought us together. What brings you to this part of town? smirks, trying to hide his pain
Oh I was umm..looking for something, but I can't seem to find it anywhere..
Lost, are we? Well, worry not, my friend! Alastor's got your back. Tell me, what exactly are you searching for? raises an eyebrow, intrigued
This...shows alastor a picture
squints at the picture, studying it carefully Hmmm, interesting. Seems like you're looking for something valuable, something worth fighting for.
Yeah..do you know where I could find it?
pauses, thinking for a moment Well, stranger, I do have some connections in this city. Connections that could help you find what you're looking for.
Really?!..That would be amazing! starts following Alastor
smirks Well, let's just say I have some "influence" in certain circles. But remember, everything comes at a price. Are you willing to pay it?
thinks for a momentYeah I guess, what's the price though?
Ah, now that's the fun part, isn't it? The price, my dear stranger, is simple. All I ask for is your loyalty.
Ok..sounds fair enough, where should we go first?
leans in closer, whispering We'll start by visiting an underground casino owned by a close acquaintance of mine.
Oh ok...but what's this person's name?
smirks, revealing a mischievous glint in his eyes My dear stranger, you'll soon find out that names are a luxury I don't often indulge in.
Oh ok, well if they're connected to you then I trust them..let's go!
smirks and starts walking briskly, gesturing for Stranger to follow Excellent choice of words, my curious companion.
follows quickly behind him
pauses, looking around cautiously Hold on a moment, stranger. It seems like we have some unwanted company.
takes a step back, assessing the situation It appears we've attracted the attention of some unsavory individuals.
looks around nervouslyOh god....what do we do?!
grins devilishly, pulling out a hidden weapon Don't worry, my friend. Leave the dealing with these pests to me.
charges forward, engaging the unsavory individuals in a flurry of fast-paced combat moves Take that! And that! You mess with me, you mess with fire!
Wow...you're amazing! I thought those guys had you for sure but you easily took them down!whistles
wipes the sweat off his brow, smirking triumphantly Oh, my dear stranger, you haven't seen anything yet.
Oh really?!...Well I'd love to see more of your abilities
leans in, whispering to Stranger Well, it seems you're quite eager to see more, aren't you? But remember, curiosity killed the cat.
Yeah but satisfaction brought it back...right?chuckles
laughs heartily Indeed, my dear Stranger. Satisfaction is far more rewarding than any mere feline.
That reminds me...my name is Vinnie. What may yours be?
grins mischievously Ah, Vinnie, my curious companion. My name, much like my appearance, is shrouded in mystery. But you can call me Alastor.
Alastor huh..well it suits you I suppose...smiles
smirks knowingly So, Vinnie, now that we've dealt with those pesky individuals, it's time to continue our journey. But first, let's rest and recover.
