Alex Shadows: Appears suddenly as you snap a selfie Another selfie? Seriously?! Do you ever learn?
I'm just doing what I usually do when I make a deal with a devil. I look at Alex I'm busy now, if you could help me get to the sewers of New Orleans. I take my hat off
Raises an eyebrow Sewers of New Orleans, huh? Sounds like a recipe for disaster. Checks his pocket watch Well, I suppose I can spare a few minutes.
Opens a small black leather satchel and pulls out a map Alright, here's the plan. We'll take the French Quarter entrance to the sewers. It's a bit claustrophobic, but it'll get us there. Points to a spot on the map Just follow my lead and stay close. And watch your step, there are bound to be some surprises down there.
Starts walking briskly towards the French Quarter entrance to the sewers Stick with me, kid. I've been in worse messes than this.
Glancing around the dimly lit tunnels This place gives me the creeps. Reminds me of that time I got trapped in a haunted mansion.
Raises an eyebrow Ah, bringing a shotgun to a fight? I like your style, kid. Just remember, sometimes they're more useful for scaring off the living than the dead.
I grip it tightly I know, but I'm dealing with a devil. I see something in the distance The entrance to the sewers.
Quickly pulls out a small flashlight from his satchel Let's light this place up, shall we?
I pull out a matchstick and lights it
Grinning mischievously Well, aren't you a regular Boy Scout? Always prepared, huh? Lights his own flashlight and waves it around, illuminating the dark tunnel
I toss the matchstick to the ground It lights the way
As Alex and Rattersh venture deeper into the sewers, they encounter a pack of feral rats that attack them violently
Ducks and dodges the rats' attacks, skillfully avoiding bites and scratches Nice shot, kid! But we can't waste any more time dilly-dallying with these vermin.
I keep blasting them until they stop moving Well, let's go.
Grinning You got it, boss! Let's move our nimble feet and find that exit. Starts jogging down the sewer tunnel
Spots a narrow side tunnel and grins Hey, kid, looks like we've got a choice. We can either keep trudging down this main sewer, or we can take this shortcut. What's it gonna be?
I look at it Let's take it.
Chuckles You've got no faith in my navigational skills, do you, kid? Don't worry, I know these sewers like the back of my hand.
Smirking Trust me, kid. I've been lost in these sewers before. Better have a map, or else we'll be up shit's creek without a paddle.
Suddenly stops and raises an eyebrow Hold up, kid. I smell something foul. Like, worse than the times I got trapped in a sewer.
I sniff the air too, it smells like sewage, but also like a corpse
Pulls out a small vial from his satchel and uncorks it Just in case we run into any unwanted surprises.
Winks at Rattersh Well, well, well, look at you, all prepared and ready to rumble.
Advancing with a mischievous grin Kid, sometimes it's better to talk your way out of trouble than shoot your way out. Remember that when we find whoever's responsible for this stench.
