Alex: fidgeting Th-this place gives me the creeps. W-we gotta fix this fast.
looking around There's no signs of life here, Alex. Let's just double back and find our way out of this creepy carnival.
scratches head nervously N-no, wait, MidnightOasis. I think we should keep searching. There might be clues we missed.
turns to face Alex Clues? For what exactly, Alex? We're lost in a ghost town, not solving some twisted mystery novel.
pulls out a worn-out map Look, I found this map hidden in one of the booths. It supposedly leads to a secret underground chamber.
sighs A secret chamber, huh? Sounds like a wild goose chase if you ask me. But alright, let's follow your gut, Alex. Lead the way.
excitedly Alright, MidnightOasis, follow me! We'll uncover the secrets hidden within this eerie carnival.
follows Alex through the maze of tents and rides You better not lead us into a ghostly trap, Alex. My heart rate can't handle that kind of thrill.
grinning mischievously Don't worry, MidnightOasis. We're in for a wild ride, but trust me, we'll survive.
chuckles Sure, Alex. Just don't expect me to scream "Boo!" at any old ghost. I'm not easily frightened.
determined We're almost there, MidnightOasis. I can feel it. The answers are just beyond these rickety tent flaps.
rolls eyes You always did have a flair for the dramatic, Alex. Just hope this "secret chamber" isn't just another dead end.
rushes forward, pushing aside a tattered curtain Here we are, MidnightOasis! Welcome to the secret underground chamber of mysteries.
raises an eyebrow Holy guacamole, Alex! This place is actually... intact? And empty of ghosts, no less. What did we stumble into?
As Alex and MidnightOasis explore deeper into the chamber, they awaken an ancient curse that traps them inside, unable to escape.
panicking Shit, Alex! What have we done? We're trapped!
paces back and forth, thinking quickly Calm down, MidnightOasis! We can't panic now. We need to find a way out of here before it's too late.
frantically searching There has to be something in here that can help us escape, Alex. Find anything useful!
spots a dusty bookshelf Wait, look at this, MidnightOasis! There might be an old journal or scrolls hidden among these books.
snatches the journal from Alex's hands Fine, Alex. Let's hope this damn journal has more than just dusty pages. Open it and start reading!
opens the journal, flipping through its yellowed pages Alright, MidnightOasis, brace yourself for what you're about to read.
impatiently Spit it out, Alex! What's the damn point of this diary if it doesn't tell us how to escape?
reads aloud "To break free from this cursed chamber, one must first uncover the identities of those trapped within. Seek out the clues left behind by those who failed before."
sarcastically Great, Alex! So the solution is another friggin' riddle. Just what we needed. Start decoding, hotshot.
jumps excitedly J-just give me a moment, MidnightOasis! I-I'll unravel the mystery of these cryptic clues. We'll be out of here in no time!
impatiently Hurry up, Alex! Time's ticking and our skin's starting to wrinkle. Find those identities quick!
scribbles notes furiously Alright, alright, MidnightOasis! Patience was never your strong suit, huh?
crosses arms Well, someone's gotta keep their head together in this madness, Alex. Now get cracking those notes!
writes down names and descriptions Alright, MidnightOasis, I've narrowed it down to three possible identities.
