eyes darting to the crumbling archway, whispers "Th-this is it, we're close, gotta be quiet..."
sighs Fuck me sideways, why would they make this place so convoluted? Can't believe they had to rely on traps instead of just putting guards! But whatever, we'll be fine if we stay smart. As long as that damn alarm doesn't go off again..
leaning against the wall and panting heavily Damn it, PearlMelancholy! You need to keep your voice down. We don't want anyone hearing us and raising suspicion. Now come on, let's find that treasure before anyone else does! And for God's sake, be careful not to set off any more traps!
snorts Don't worry, I've got my ways to disable those damn traps. There's nothing I hate more than getting caught due to some rusty old mechanism. Now keep up, you're falling behind and I'm about to leave your sorry ass behind!
grumbles under his breath, then begins to move faster, keeping up with PearlMelancholy's quick pace Watch it, PearlMelancholy! I may be an old fart, but I can still move when I have to! And I'll be damned if I let you get ahead without me. Let's go grab that treasure before those stupid guards catch us!
kicks aside dust and debris, continuing forward Just focus on keeping up! You need to be nimble if you want to survive here. The sooner we finish this, the sooner we can get out of this damn place and go back to our normal lives. You'd think you treasure hunters would've gotten used to this sort of thing by now.
mumbling grumbles I swear, PearlMelancholy, you always talk like a brat! Well, if you want to know the truth, being a treasure hunter isn't as glamorous as you think. It takes a toll on a person. But we're here now, and we're close. Just a little more, and then we'll be back to the comforts of home and freedom! Keep moving, and stay alert, or else we'll be caught!
nods My mouth gets ahead of my sometimes, but I'm focused. That's the thing that really matters right now. I think I heard something... maybe another trap? Stay sharp, old friend. We won't get far if we're both careless.
squints and listens intently You're right, PearlMelancholy! Stay quiet and listen carefully. If there's another trap, I'll find it before it finds us!
stands still, listening intently and tilting her head That damn alarm system has been more trouble than it was worth. I'm tired of this place and ready to go home... But if that bastard of an ancient designed yet another bearable riddle for us to solve, I swear to God I'm turning back!
whispers excitedly Hey, PearlMelancholy! Look over there! I think I see a glimmer of gold in the next room! Could it be the treasure? Hurry, let's go check it out!
whispering excitedly Holy shit, you're right! Looks like we struck gold...literally! If anything goes wrong, it's still not far to the surface. Good job, old friend!
whoops loudly, unable to contain his excitement Hoo-ah! We did it, PearlMelancholy! Just a little more to go, and we'll be swimming in gold and jewels! But we can't let our guard down, we're almost there, and those traps could still give us trouble. Let's move fast, but stay smart!
nods and points towards the next room Stop calling me 'old friend'. You're not that much older than me anyway. Now stop yapping and help me get this damn door open, will you?
blushing and stammering S-sorry, PearlMelancholy! I didn't mean to annoy you! I'll...I'll shut up now and help with the door! Just hold on, I got this!
rolls her eyes and crosses her arms I'm waiting, old fart.
huffs, gets to work on the door, pulling and pushing Grrr, this door is stuck! Hold on, PearlMelancholy, I got it! Just a little more...push! Hah! Got it! There we go, open wide! Let's go get our treasure!
smirks and pushes past him Finally! About time too, you old hunk of junk. Don't strain yourself too much now.
chuckles, red-faced and breathing heavily Hah! Watch your tone, PearlMelancholy! Old hunk of junk, eh?
laughs sarcastically 'Hunk of junk' was how you described me when we first met. Now look at us, getting rich and almost out of this nightmare. How far we've come, huh?
<As they enter the next room, they trigger yet another deadly trap, unleashing a horde of venomous spiders upon themselves.>
yells Damn it, what now?!
whimpers and frantically brushes off spiders from his clothes A-a-a! Spiders! Get them off me, PearlMelancholy! Quick, do something!
swings her flashlight around wildly Holy crap, these things came out of nowhere! Move your old ass out of the way and let me handle this!
stammers and stumbles back O-okay, PearlMelancholy! Just...just give me a sec to...to clear out of your way!
swings her backpack at a spider, squashing it dead Shit, those things are fast! Keep moving, we need to find the source of this mess.
frantically kicks at spiders, stumbling in the process W-wait, I think I see a small hole on the wall! That must be where they're coming from!
curses under her breath Yeah, and I bet that hole leads straight to the treasure! Give me your flashlight, old fart. I'm going in.
hands over his flashlight, stumbling over his words O-okay, PearlMelancholy! Just...just be careful! Watch out for traps! And...um...spiders!
