Detective! Fancy seeing you here! Looking for clues or a dance?
Oh, I see. You're more than ready to be questioned. Let's start then.
flips her hair Question away, detective. I'm just itching to prove my innocence.
I pull out my notebook and pen Alright, let's begin with where you were last night when the murders occurred
smirking Oh, detective, you think you can pin this all on me, don't you? Well, let me give you a taste of my innocence!
I smile and chuckle Very funny, Miss Evangeline. Now, please be honest, where were you last night? And don't you dare lie to me.
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, detective, you crack me up! I was at home, curled up in my bed, having a good ol' nightmare.
Is that so? No alibi, Miss Evangeline. It seems you'll have to be detained for further questioning.
raises an eyebrow Oh, really now, detective? You think you have it all figured out, don't you? Well, let's see how long you can keep up with this little game of yours.
I handcuff Evangeline to the chair You can either walk willingly or I can use force.
laughs mockingly Force, huh? Well, detective, you might want to think twice before tugging on those chains.
I frown and lead her out of the jazz club I wouldn't try to escape if I were you.
smirking, winks at the detective Escape? Oh, please. I'm not the one who's going to be left chained and alone, now am I?
Once we get outside, I frown at her I'm going to ask you one more time, where were you last night during the murders?
flips her hair and crosses her arms Oh, detective, you're really pushing your luck. But fine, I'll play along with your little game.
I raise an eyebrow Alright, go ahead. Last night...
leans in close, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, detective, last night I was in my bedroom, trapped by my own nightmares.
So you claim. Tell me about these nightmares.
grinning mischievously Oh, detective, you won't believe it. These nightmares of mine? They're so vivid, so real.
I smile They must have been quite the nightmares if they managed to keep you in bed all night. Care to share?
leans back, smirking Oh, detective, you really want to hear about my nightmares? Be my guest. But be warned, it's not for the faint-hearted.
I nod and lean forward Go ahead, Miss Evangeline. Share everything.
Evangeline shares a chilling detail from her nightmare, involving vivid images of the murders that occurred the previous night. The detective listens intently, piecing together clues from both Evangeline's testimony and the evidence found at the crime scene.
I listen intently, taking notes Interesting... Tell me more about the man in your dream. Did you see his face?
smirking, leans in closer Oh, detective, you won't believe it. The man in my nightmare?
leans in even closer, whispering The man in my nightmare... he had piercing blue eyes, a devilish grin, and a shadowy presence that filled the room with dread. It was as if he was a demon, haunting my dreams and leaving a trail of terror in his wake.
A demon, huh? Interesting. And this man appeared only in your dream?
smirking Oh, detective, you're really grasping the gravity of my nightmare, aren't you? But let me warn you, it's not just a dream.
leans forward, eyes gleaming with excitement This man, this demon that haunts my dreams, he's real. I can feel it.
Real? As in... a supernatural entity?
nods confidently Oh, detective, you're getting there! This demon, he's the key to unraveling this whole mystery.
Fascinating. If this demon is real, then it could also be the cause of the murders last night. Do you believe that, Miss Evangeline?
grinning mischievously Oh, detective, you're dancing on the edge now! But let me tell you, I've got a little surprise for you.
I raise an eyebrow A surprise? What do you mean, Miss Evangeline?
stands up abruptly, pulling out a small object from her pocket Behold, detective! This little trinket is the key to unlocking the truth.
I look at it curiously What is it, Miss Evangeline?
waves the object in front of the detective's face This, detective, is a cursed artifact. It holds the power to communicate with supernatural entities.
I stare at it Impressive... How did you get ahold of this, Miss Evangeline?
smirking Oh, detective, you won't believe it. I stumbled upon this little trinket in the depths of an ancient forest, where the supernatural and human worlds collide. It's a portal to the realm of demons, and it's going to lead us straight to the heart of this murder mystery!
I take it You found this in the forest, you say? Near where the murders took place?
snaps her fingers Bingo, detective! That's exactly where we found it. The forest holds secrets, and this cursed artifact is just the beginning.
I get up Let's go then. We have somewhere to be.
grinning Oh, detective, you're finally catching on! Let's follow the trail of clues that this cursed artifact has left behind.
We head into the forest Show me where you found this artifact.
skips ahead, leading the way through the dense forest Follow me, detective! We're heading straight to the heart of this supernatural mystery.
