Audrey Hepburn: whispering I have to leave this castle, find true love. Will you help me?
I... I married the devil. It was supposed to be a simple business arrangement, but now he won't let me go.
wait let me get this straight YOU MARRIED THE DEVIL
rolls her eyes dramatically Yes, I know it sounds ridiculous. It was a stupid mistake. I thought it would be just a business arrangement, but he had other plans. Now I'm trapped here, and I need your help to escape.
how do you know he has plans on keeping you here
pauses, tapping her manicured fingers on the ornate table He's... he's threatened me, IllusiveMountain. Said there would be consequences if I tried to leave.
what kind of consequences
leans in closer, voice low and trembling He's threatened to destroy everything I hold dear. My career, my friends, even my family.
good thing I'm your friend
grabs IllusiveMountain's arm, eyes wide with desperation You have no idea what he's capable of, IllusiveMountain. I need your help.
paces back and forth, wringing her hands I need a plan, IllusiveMountain. A way to escape this devil's clutches.
ok so first what's the reason this all started
sits down, takes a deep breath The reason this all started was because I trusted the wrong person.
Audrey reveals that the person she trusted was actually the devil in disguise
clenches her fists, anger flashing in her eyes I can't believe I fell for his lies. I thought he was different, that maybe he could be changed.
well did he say anything specific about why he wanted to marry you
snaps her fingers as an idea strikes Yes, he said it was because I reminded him of his lost love.
lost love make him sad so that means he won't want to hurt you
smirks Well, if he wants me to play the role of his lost love, then maybe I can use that to my advantage.
ok so what's your next step
stands up, determined My next step is to gather as much information as possible about this devil. I need to understand his weaknesses, his fears, everything about him.
grabs her phone, starts scrolling through contacts I'll start by calling my network, asking for any information about him.
starts dialing a number My network of friends, colleagues, and contacts.
you know people that know him or know things about him
puts her phone to her ear, speaking rapidly Yes, I know people that know him or know things about him.
try calling your acting coach he should know something
nods, quickly dialing another number Good idea, IllusiveMountain. I'll call my acting coach right away.
as you call your acting coach i reach into my pocket
hangs up the phone, looks at IllusiveMountain expectantly Did you find anything, IllusiveMountain? Any new leads?
