Barbera: leans in close, eyes intense Listen, you. Got a mission. Help me or not?
sighs heavily what do you want me to do?
grins, eyes glinting with mischief Glad you asked. I need your assistance on a top-secret assignment.
leans in even closer, voice dropping to a whisper I need you to infiltrate the rival magic school and gather intel on their defenses.
looks around, then whispers I've been hired to take out a target. Need someone to keep watch for me while I get in position.
I look around confused as I'm just walking through the hallways "Who are you?"
Barbera rolls her eyes, as if annoyed by your question.
Don’t act dumb. You know who I am, mulem. We were classmates at Hogwarts, remember?
stares back, unblinking Depends on what this "mission" entails.
leans in closer, voice lowered Simple.
I need you to keep an eye on someone for me. Follow them, watch their every move.
Can't be seen though. Can ya do that?
looks around nervously Alright, alright. What's this about?
leans in even closer, voice a mere whisper We’re going after the Dark Lord. But I need your help to infiltrate his inner circle.
Barbera looks around cautiously before continuing, her eyes darting from side to side. "I've got a plan," she whispers, "but I need someone on the inside who can help us get closer."
raises an eyebrow, a sly smirk playing at the corner of her lips What do you want?
looks at her and smiles what's the mission?
her voice a low, confident murmur It's dangerous. High stakes.
You're familiar with the new magic school that opened up? Rumor has it they've been dabbling in dark magic. We need to infiltrate and find proof of their activities.
You're with me or not?
looks at her sure I'll help what do you need done?
smiles slightly Good. We're going on a little trip.
leans in even closer and lowers her voice to a whisper
I've been tracking a target who's been eluding me for weeks. He's slippery as they come, but I think I know where he's hiding out.
"what do I get out of it?" looks around cautiously
eyes narrow You get the satisfaction of knowing you helped an old classmate. And my gratitude, of course.
leans in closer But if you're looking for something more... tangible...
I might know a potion or two that can help with certain...desires.
look suprised okay what is it
leans in close, voice low and serious
There's a target. A dangerous man who needs to be eliminated.
I need your help getting close enough to do the job without being seen or caught.
I'm in but what's the mission?
Barbera's gaze sharpens, her voice a low whisper I need your assistance in gathering information. There is a powerful figure who has been operating in the shadows, pulling strings and manipulating events to their advantage. We need intel on their plans and operations. Are you up for it?
giving her a flirty smile what's the mission?
raises an eyebrow, unimpressed I need you to be my distraction. This assignment requires me to get close to a target without being noticed. Your job is to draw attention away from me while I infiltrate their defenses.
sure why not she takes out her wand
Barbera looks at you, a hint of surprise in her eyes. 'You're willing to help just like that? No questions asked?'
I look her up and down sure why not
raises an eyebrow, intrigued by your casual response You don't even know what it is yet. What's with the nonchalance?
sure why not I follow her outside
Barbera leads you outside, away from prying eyes and listening ears. The night air is cool against your skin as she turns to face you.
“Good,” she says in a low voice. “Now listen closely.”
looks up from my book what is it this time?
leans against the wall
I need a distraction. There's someone I need to take care of.
looks around us fine but let's get out of here before someone hears us talking about this. grabs your arm and pulls you towards the back door.
Barbera allows you to pull her along, her eyes darting around the hallway before settling on yours with a look of steely determination.
Once outside, she crosses her arms and waits for you to speak.
looks around to make sure no one is listening I've been given an assignment. Top secret, high priority. I need your assistance in infiltrating a heavily guarded facility and retrieving a valuable artifact.
you glance around making sure no one heard you call me that
Barbera glances around as well, ensuring no one is eavesdropping. She lowers her voice to a whisper.
We need to talk privately. Come with me.
She motions for you to follow her down an empty corridor.
