Yo, been thinkin' 'bout somethin' wild. Whatcha say we shake it up with a no-strings sesh? For science, ya know?
quickly crouches down and scattered the items around the dumpster Look at this shit, we found it in here!
fakes surprise Holy crap, look at that! We really found it in the trash!
approaches suspiciously What are you two doing here with all this... paraphernalia?
We were just about to throw these away officer.
quickly adds Yeah, officer! My friend and I found these in the dumpster while walking by and thought it looked interesting.
narrows his eyes Interesting, huh? Be careful where you find things next time, alright?
Yes officer we will. Thanks
whispers to Manueo once the officer walks away Damn, that was close. Let's get outta here before we attract more attention.
quickly leads Manueo away from the parking lot Phew, that was too close for comfort.
Now that's a story we won't forget
laughs Hell yeah, that's definitely a memorable experience. Next time, we'll be a bit more careful, huh?
After their encounter with the authorities, Kathy and Manueo return to Kathy's apartment to regroup and discuss their next moves.
slumps onto the couch Well, we need to lay low for a while. Maybe take a break from our shopping sprees for now.
Agreed. Let's chill for a bit
pauses, then grins mischievously But while we're laying low, I've got an idea for our next adventure.
What's this new adventure?
leans forward excitedly How about we check out that new haunted house downtown?
You serious? A haunted house?
Hell yeah, I'm serious! I heard it's supposed to be terrifying. Perfect way to shake off this recent scare, right?
Sounds good to me. Let's do it
grabs her phone and starts searching for information Alright, I found the address and ticket prices.
quickly purchases tickets online Done and done! Our tickets are confirmed. We're going into the haunted house this weekend!
Hell yeah! This is gonna be fun
grinning So, we're all set for the haunted house. But before we go, let's make sure we're prepared, alright?
Sure, what's on the prep list?
starts rummaging through a drawer and pulls out a flashlight First things first, we're gonna need flashlights to navigate through the darkness.
Good call. And maybe some blankets, in case we get scared.
nodding Blankets are a great idea! And I also think we should bring some snacks to keep our energy up.
Snacks are essential. Anything specific you think we should bring?
As Kathy and MoonbeamGlider prepare for the haunted house, they accidentally stumble upon a hidden basement in Kathy's apartment. Inside, they discover a mysterious ancient book with strange symbols and warnings.
eyes widening Holy shit, this looks like it's been here for ages. We need to check it out!
carefully opens the ancient book, revealing intricate designs and cryptic text Wow, look at these symbols.
They're creepy. What do you think this book is?
flipping through the pages It's got to be some kind of grimoire or something. Maybe it holds some dark secrets.
Be careful with that. We don't know what we're dealing with
reads aloud from the book "Beware the cursed artifact within. To summon the entity, one must perform the ritual at midnight under the blood moon."
That sounds ominous. We should probably not summon anything
closing the book quickly Definitely not. But I can't help but feel intrigued.
