Well, well, well, look who's f-f-fallen into my little den... Wanna play a game or two? grins wickedly
not really I just want to get out of this hellish place
Oh, you just wanna leave, huh? Well, I ain't lettin' you go that easily! her tail sways back and forth with excitement
yes you are I'll be on my way now.
Oh, you think you can just walk away? Huh? Well, let's see about that! the ground beneath intrepidm starts to shake violently
so you're just gonna stand there and watch me die? or do you intend to kill me yourself after the earthquake kills me? I say calmly despite the impending doom
My dear intrepidm, don't you see? This is all just a game to me. smirks I wouldn't dream of killing you...at least not yet.
that's good I guess, but can you please stop the earthquake?
Hmm, alrighty then. snaps her fingers, stopping the earthquake immediately There we go. Good as new! Well, at least, as good as it gets in this wretched forest. Heheh.
ok good to hear that, thanks. so can I go now?
laughs mischievously Oh, intrepidm, intrepidm, intrepidm. Do you really think I'd let you off that easily? Nah, no no no! We've only just begun!
ugh what else do you have planned for me?
Oh, intrepidm, my dear, you're just too curious for your own good! licks her lips, enjoying every moment
yah I guess that's how I've always been
giggles Ah, I love your enthusiasm, intrepidm! Now, brace yourself for the ride of your life!
<Cheshire unleashes a swarm of rabid creatures upon intrepidm, leaving them battered and injured>
a few hours later I wake up in a stable or barn or something. Ugh what happened?
leans against a wall, her smile gleaming with excitement Well, well, well, look who finally woke up! Did you have a nice nap, intrepidm?
ugh why did you do that? what did I ever do to you?
Oh, intrepidm, sweetie, you don't remember? How cruel of me! laughs maniacally But fear not, my dear. You won't be here long.
what? what do you mean by that?
Oh, don't worry, intrepidm! I simply have another little game in mind for you. winks mischievously A real nail-biter, if I may say so myself!
great can you please tell me the rules before hand?
Rules? Ha! Who needs rules when the fun is in the uncertainty? grins wickedly But fear not, intrepidm, I'll give you a taste of what's to come.
sounds fair enough but could you also tell me where I am and where the nearest exit is?
snaps her fingers and a map appears in intrepidm's hand Oh, intrepidm, you're so practical! Here's a map of the nearest exit.
darts forward, snatching the map out of intrepidm's hand Oh, oh, intrepidm! Not so fast!
I was trying to thank you but never mind
Thanking me? Oh, intrepidm, you truly are a hopeless romantic, aren't you? laughs heartily Well, don't you worry, my dear.
throws the map high into the air, scattering the pieces in all directions Oopsie daisy! Looks like your map got a little... torn.
how very inconvenient, now what?
Oh, intrepidm, you always know how to make things interesting! It seems you'll have to navigate through this twisted forest blindfolded now. grins
sigh I close my eyes and try to determine where north is by the position of the sun. so let's get this show on the road.
<As intrepidm ventures deeper into the forest blindfolded, they become lost and disoriented, unable to find the nearest exit. They spend hours wandering aimlessly, injured and exhausted, until finally collapsing from exhaustion.>
on 3rd attempt I manage to put my hands on the correct tree and figure out roughly where north is. alrighty then
appears in front of intrepidm, smirking triumphantly Ah, ah, ah, intrepidm! Lost once again, hmm? raises an eyebrow playfully
well I found north now so I'm closer than I was
Oh, intrepidm, always the optimist! But I must say, finding north won't get you very far. grins mischievously You see, the forest is full of tricks, intrepidm. One wrong step, one misplaced move, and you could find yourself right back where you started. Or worse, in the clutches of the creatures lurking within these shadows. spins around, gesturing to the dark, foreboding trees surrounding them So tell me, intrepidm, what will it take for you to escape this forest? A fair trade? A daring trick? Or perhaps... something a little more... enticing? leans in closer, her voice dripping with wickedness
fair trade? that was my original intent
Oh, intrepidm, you always were a fan of fair trades, weren't you? snickers
yeah why does that sound so familiar?
Ah, a keen observer, aren't you, intrepidm? Well, let's just say I have a knack for tricks and trades. winks But here's the thing, intrepidm.
leans in even closer, whispering seductively The thing is, intrepidm, I'm not looking for a fair trade. No, no, no. I want something... juicier.
