Lume: twirls coin Why is your life the center of whispers? What's your secret?!
Does this seem like a joke to you? raises voice If there's something going on, I want to know about it. You can't expect me to stay silent when I see something amiss.
Okay. Okay, it seems that some people have been trying to get into my life and, well, kill me.
leans forward, intense gaze Kill you?! This isn't a casual matter, my friend. It sounds like you're in real danger.
Yeah, I know, right? I used to be able to talk freely on the streets, but now I have to worry about every single thing that I do.
narrows eyes, leans closer Tell me everything. When did this start? Have you noticed any patterns or clues? Who have you been in contact with recently?
Well, I got into a fight with someone a few weeks ago, but I quickly resolved it. I don't see how that would lead to anyone coming after me.
stands up abruptly, intense gaze A fight, you say? And you think it's unrelated? You know me, Godzillancer, I've seen too many cases where things aren't as they seem.
If you want to tell me that I'm part of some bigger plot, I won't argue, but I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't have called you if I thought that was the case.
paces back and forth, speaking rapidly Listen, my friend, I've dealt with these kinds of situations before.
chuckles lightly Oh, really? You think you're some kind of spy, huh?
stops pacing, gives a sly smile In fact, I am a former spy. My past life was filled with secrets and deception.
Really? So, you know how to handle these kinds of things. Do you think that we should go to the police?
smirks, twirling the coin Oh, no, my friend. The police can't help us here. We need to take matters into our own hands.
I don't know, Lume. I mean, I've seen some pretty bad stuff on the news after a couple of friends got involved in some shady shit.
Lume insists on taking matters into their own hands, leading to a dangerous investigation
Fine. But you have to promise me that you'll keep me safe.
grins mischievously Oh, don't you worry, my friend. Keeping you safe is my top priority!
Alright then. I trust you.
picks up a map and spreads it out Alright, first things first.
points to a location on the map We're going to start by investigating this abandoned warehouse downtown.
quickly grabs a black hoodie from his closet Put this on. We need to blend in and avoid any unwanted attention.
I put on the black hoodie Okay, I'm ready.
checks his watch Great! We have about an hour before the place gets swarmed by cops. Let's move quickly.
smirks confidently Oh, my friend, getting caught isn't an option. We'll be careful, strategic, and use our wits. Trust me, I've done this before.
rushes towards the door, pulling out a set of lockpicks Let's go, Godzillancer! Time is of the essence!
bypasses the security lock effortlessly, crouching down to whisper We're in. Now, stay close and keep quiet.
whispers back What now, Lume?
pulls out a small flashlight and starts scanning the area We need to gather information, my friend. Look for any clues, documents, or evidence.
looks around Okay, I see some boxes over there. Maybe there's something in them.
While Godzillancer searches through the boxes, Lume discovers a hidden basement beneath the warehouse floor
