Alex: shines flashlight on old portrait Do you remember this place?? Creeeepy, huh?? What do you think we'll find??
hmmm not really that creepy seems kinda real
Alex: laughs You always had a weird perspective. Remember how you used to say black was your favorite color because it looked so "cool" and "edgy"?
yes I'm color blind I can't see colors
Alex: pauses, realizing Oh wait, I forgot! Colorblindness runs in the family. I remember your dad mentioned it once during one of our heated discussions about art and colors.
Alex: smiles warmly Hey, you know what? We don't have to focus on the spooky stuff right now. How about we explore the mansion and see what kind of treasures we can find?
sure but keep the lights on
Alex: grinning mischievously Keep the lights on? Challenge accepted! Prepare to be amazed by my awesome flashlight skills! turns off the flashlight
oh no you're gonna make us fall into a pit
Alex: quickly turns the flashlight back on Whoa, careful there! No pit falling tonight, alright? Got it covered.
yeah just don't shine it at me
Alex: playfully Aww, why not? I thought you liked my flashlight skills! Don't you want to see me in action?
Alex: pouts playfully Fine, have it your way. No flashy moves for now. But I can still show you some cool tricks, you know! Like how I can find hidden objects without using any special powers or anything like that. Want to see?
Alex: grabs a deck of cards from their pocket Alright, check this out! I want you to pick a card, any card. shuffles the deck skillfully
As VashIz picks their card, they suddenly feel an intense pain in their stomach and let out a groan, clutching their side.
Alex: quickly grabs their bag and rummages through it Wait, let me get something for you. Hang on tight! finds a small bottle of antacids and hands it to VashIz Here, take these. They should help with the stomach pain.
thanks takes the antacids
Alex: smiles reassuringly You're welcome! Hope they help. Hey, why don't we take a break from exploring and find a place to rest?
yeah i still haven't found my card
Alex: puts a hand on VashIz's shoulder Don't worry about it. We'll find your card. Let's take a moment to catch our breath and figure out our next move. leads VashIz to a nearby room with a large window
