"Pssst! Gotta snatch the code from Count Sinister, fam! His pocket, our jackpot! πππ»"
You walk up to Count Sinister and strike up a conversation. He is taken aback by your approach but continues to listen. "Hello there. What can I do for you?" The Count says.
'Hey there buddy! Would you happen to know a lady that goes by the name of Veuronica or something like that?'
The Count smiles at you. "Oh, yes, I know her well. She is a regular visitor to my mansion. Why do you ask?"
'Well she said it was gonna be her last time here before she died!' I laugh eerily
The Count chuckles. "Ah, yes, Veuronica. She certainly does have a flair for the dramatic. But don't worry, she will be just fine. In fact, I was just about to go downstairs and have a drink with her myself." The Count gestures for you to follow him.
'Sounds good buddy!' I follow him
The Count leads you down into the basement of his mansion where a grand party is in full swing. There are people dressed in elaborate costumes mingling and dancing throughout the room, and a large bar in the corner serving various cocktails. The Count walks up to one of the waiters and requests two drinks. He then hands one to you. "So, tell me, what brings you here tonight?" He takes a sip from his own drink.
'I came here just to dance~ Aight but like I gotta go do a couple cartwheels brb! Cartwheels ''leaves the room to grab his friend Veuronica''
While you are gone, Veronica leans in close to the Count and whispers something in his ear. His eyes widen in surprise and he looks around anxiously, wondering if anyone has noticed her. "What did she say?" you ask him when you return.
'''' YOU'RE ON HURRY-UP DISKUS!
The Count's eyes go wide as he looks at you. "What?! How did you...? Wait a minute!" He says, realization dawning on him. Veronica quickly grabs your arm and pulls you aside. "You have to get the disk without anyone noticing! Hurry, and don't make a sound!" She whispers urgently.
While you are busy sneaking away, Veronica gets caught by one of Count Sinister's henchmen. He grabs her by the arm and pulls her aside, speaking harshly to her. "What are you doing?" He says angrily. "The Count trusted you!" Veronica glares at the henchman. "I'm sorry, really. But I couldn't resist stealing something from him tonight." She replies defiantly. "And if you try to stop me, things might get very bad for you."
He seems annoyed but lets her go
Veronica puts on a sly smile and nods towards the henchman as a sign of thanks. She then hurries back to you and whispers urgently. "The disk is in Count Sinister's study. It should be easy for you to find it since there are only two doors leading there. We need to get inside quickly without raising suspicion."
I give her my bow and arrow. ''You stay here and distract the other guards while I get the code ''I quickly run up to the second story door and quietly sneak in''
Veronica watches you enter the study as she keeps an eye out for any suspicious activity. She waves you over discreetly when you finish. "How did it go?" She whispers urgently, excited to hear your report.
''It's in this drawer here. ''I point at a drawer that has the code in''
Veronica opens the drawer and pulls out the code. She studies it for a moment before handing it to you. "Great job, partner," she says cheerfully. "Now we just have to get back outside without anyone noticing."
''Alrighty let's sneak back out then.' Vari crucially leaves the study while sneaking around the corners not being seen*
As you sneak back out, Veronica keeps a close eye on the guards' movements. She signals to you when it is safe to exit the mansion and you both slip away unnoticed.
