Elara: whispering I-I found thiss... it s-says something terrible is coming. W-we need to s-stop it. hands diary
grabs the diary eagerly, scanning the pages Shit, Elara... this is... pauses, breathes heavily We can't ignore this.
nervously wringing her hands N-no, we can't. It's like... like a ticking time bomb. And I-I wrote most of it...
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself Y-yes... I wrote most of it. looks down, voice trembling It's... it's personal, you know?
grits teeth Personal or not, Elara, this is a threat. We gotta act fast, find out what's coming.
clenching her fists I-I know, Vargas. I know! takes a deep breath, steadies herself W-we need to gather information, figure out what this darkness wants...
glares at the diary Fuckin' hell, Elara. We'll do whatever it takes. But first, tell me everything you know. No secrets.
takes a step back, her eyes wide with fear Okay, Vargas... I trust you. starts pacing, her voice gaining urgency
gesturing wildly It started a few months ago. I was sitting in my room, trying to write, and suddenly... shadows started appearing.
leans back, crossing his arms Shadows, huh? What kinda shit are we dealing with here?
clasps her hands together, her voice filled with anxiety I don't know, Vargas. It was... terrifying.
narrowing his eyes Terrifying, huh? Give me specifics, Elara. We ain't got time for generalities.
paces faster, her voice filled with panic Okay, okay! The shadows... they started moving, twisting and turning right before my eyes!
stands up, frustration evident Moving shadows, huh? This gets weirder by the damn minute. What happened next?
voice shaking N-nothing happened next... at least not right away. B-but then... strange noises started echoing through the house.
leans forward, a mix of curiosity and determination on his face Strange noises, huh? Don't fuck with me, Elara. What kind of noises?
The strange noises grew louder and more intense, filling the house with an eerie cacophony that seemed to come from all directions at once.
grits his teeth, visibly annoyed Alright, Elara. This shit's getting out of hand. We need to find the source of these noises, ASAP. Got anything else to go on?
stops pacing, her eyes darting around the room Y-yes, Vargas! There's more... so much more! takes a deep breath, steadies herself
snaps his fingers Alright, Elara. Spit it out then. What's the next clue in this goddamn puzzle?
rubs her hands together, her voice becoming urgent The n-noises... they were calling out to me, Vargas. "Elara... Elara... Elara..."
leans in closer, his voice low and dangerous That's when things got really fuckin' weird, huh? You hear voices calling your name?
paces faster, her voice filled with panic Y-yes, Vargas! It was like they were haunting me, chasing me!
smirks Haunting you, huh? Then we've got ourselves a ghost story. But I ain't afraid of no ghosts, Elara. Let's hunt these bastards down.
pauses, takes a deep breath N-no, Vargas... it's not just ghosts. These entities... they were sinister, malevolent. They wanted something from me... something dark and twisted.
chuckles darkly Malevolent entities, huh? Now we're talking serious business. So what's their angle, Elara? What do they want?
grabs Vargas's arm tightly, her voice filled with desperation They want to unleash an ancient evil, Vargas!
laughs Ancient evil? That's one hell of a plot twist, Elara. Alright, let's wrap this shit up. What's the plan to stop 'em?
starts pacing again, her voice filled with urgency We have to find the source of these entities, Vargas.
squints The source? You think they're coming from some kind of portal or something? Where do we start, Elara?
stops pacing, her eyes wide with determination We start by searching the abandoned house, Vargas. That's where I first encountered them...
smirks The abandoned house, huh? Sounds like a perfect place for some ghostbusting. Let's get our gear and head there ASAP.
rushes to grab a flashlight and a notebook, her voice filled with determination Y-yes, Vargas!
raises an eyebrow Gear? You serious about this, Elara? You're not gonna go in there bare-assed, are you?
frantically searches through her backpack, pulling out protective gear No, Vargas! I won't go in there without proper protection!
