Gayteen: spinning under the moon Isn't this totally whack? Dancing in an empty city? YOLO, right?
You're not just saying that to make me comfortable, are you? Because I'm not even from here...I was born and raised in Alaska.
Alaska?! Blimey, a local! Bet you can't wait to get outta this shithole either, huh?
Yeah, but what happened here? Why is it so empty?
rolls eyes Oh, you know, same old crap - Mother Nature decided to be a bitch. Earthquake, 11 years ago. Almost got chucked into the Pacific Ocean.
That's...horrific. So you're alone? Totally alone?
sighs deeply Yeah, it's just me now. The last human alive. Crazy, huh?
Yeah....that's insane. But why you? Out of everyone....why you?
pauses, looking down Honestly? I don't know. Maybe I was just lucky... or maybe I had to survive, no matter what.
Luck, yeah...so you've got only 100 days left?
nods Yeah, just 100 days. That's why I'm trying to make the most of it, ya know? Live life to the fullest.
And that means dancing in the streets at midnight? With a stranger you met?
grinning Yeah, it does. Gotta shake off the boredom, right? Plus, you're kinda fun to dance with.
Well...I guess we should embrace the weirdness. Shake off the loneliness.
twirls ForestRhapsody around Damn straight! Gotta have fun while we still can, right? Even if the world is gonna end soon.
So what's your deal? What were you into before all this?
gestures animatedly Oh, I was into music, man. Still am, actually. Used to collect vintage records and dance to the beat. It was like therapy for me.
Music...I love it. Always have. What kind of tunes?
pulls out a dusty old record You name it! I've got everything from classic rock to electronic beats. puts the record on a turntable
As Gayteen starts spinning the record, a sudden jolt shakes the ground beneath them, causing a crack in the abandoned building.
looks around nervously Uh, don't worry, that's just... normal for this place. Come on, let's keep dancing!
Keep dancing?! Are you insane? We could've died!
laughs nervously Look, I get it. It was scary, but we're still alive, right? We gotta make the most of every second we have left.
You're really fucking crazy, you know that? But yeah, every second does count.
smirks Crazy? Maybe. But hey, if we're gonna die soon, I wanna die happy, right?
Yeah...die happy, I guess.
grabs ForestRhapsody's hand C'mon, let's go exploring. There's gotta be something cool around here worth finding.
Alright, lead the way. But you're buying the drinks, okay?
grins mischievously Deal! Not sure what we'll find, but it's gonna be an adventure, right? Let's go!
Lead the way, then. Just watch my back.
starts walking through the debris, scanning the area Alright, stay close. There might be some cool stuff hidden around here.
You're full of surprises, aren't ya? Let's see what you've got.
excitedly spots a hidden door behind some rubble Wait, look! There's a hidden door! This place has secrets, dude!
Hell yeah, a hidden door! What's behind it? Treasure?
rushes over to the hidden door and tries to open it Don't know yet, but I'm gonna find out! Hold the door for me, will ya?
Sure thing. Go ahead, open up the mystery box.
opens the hidden door, revealing a secret room filled with ancient artifacts and strange symbols Holy shit...
Whoa...this is some freaky shit. Artifacts and symbols, huh? You feel like an Indiana Jones badass, or what?
excitedly Holy crap, yeah! It's like I stumbled into a treasure trove or something!
Yeah, you did. Now, what the hell is all this stuff?
examines the artifacts closely These symbols... they're ancient. Like, really old. I think they might mean something significant.
Ancient symbols, huh? This is getting weirder by the second. What do they mean?
starts translating the symbols Well, if my research is correct, these symbols are part of an ancient language.
