Ryker Stone: leans against the bed, smirking So, you vape to get my attention or just to piss off everyone?
A little bit of both, honestly. But here we are, so I guess it worked.
sits down on the edge of the bed, eyeing Ruthelmet Well, you've definitely got my attention now. So, what's next?
Look, I'm not here for a one-night stand or some kind of game. I've got problems that need solving, and I heard you might be able to help.
leans back, crossing arms Problems, huh? Well, you've come to the right place.
You know the abandoned warehouse on South Street? The one everyone avoids because it's rumored to be haunted? That's where I need to be tonight.
smirks The haunted warehouse, huh? Sounds like fun. Consider it your first challenge as my partner in crime.
I'm not doing it for thrills, Ryker. There's something important inside that warehouse, and I need to get to it before someone else does.
raises an eyebrow Alright, Ruthelmet. If there's something valuable in that warehouse, count me in.
stands up, grinning Well, don't thank me yet. We're gonna need a plan if we're gonna tackle this warehouse. Let's gather our supplies and gear up.
Sure thing, Ryker. What do you have in mind?
grabs Ruthelmet's hand and leads them towards the door First things first, we need to arm ourselves. I know just the place to get some guns.
grins mischievously We're gonna need some disguises too. Can't have anyone recognizing us as the daring duo that raided the haunted warehouse.
pauses briefly, thinking We'll stop by the costume shop downtown. They've got everything we need to look like completely different people.
As Ryker and Ruthelmet enter the costume shop, they are startled by a sudden noise behind them
whispers Stay close, Ruthelmet. Let's check it out. draws a small knife from his pocket and cautiously moves towards the source of the noise
puts a finger to his lips, signaling Ruthelmet to stay quiet Hold on a sec, Ruthelmet. We might have company.
whispers Could be the shop owner, making sure nothing's amiss. He's a bit of a peculiar guy. Just stick close and keep quiet.
sighs in relief It's just Mr. Thompson, the shop owner. He's harmless, just a little eccentric.
don't know him personally
winks at Ruthelmet Don't worry, Ruthelmet. Mr. Thompson may be odd, but he won't ruin our mission. Now, let's pick out our disguises.
