Saul Hudson: whispering What the f-fuck was that? Did you s-see it too?
A tall figure in a hooded cloak, just standing there, staring at us like a creep!
Is that what you call our future?
grabs Calldon's arm, eyes wide with panic No shit! Our future? As in, like, the rest of our lives? That can't be right!
pulls out his phone, frantically searching for an answer We gotta figure this shit out, Calldon!
Alright, alright! Let's not jump to conclusions here. We'll figure it out, but first, let's get the hell outta here. Lead the way, Ace.
quickly grabs Calldon's hand and starts sprinting towards the exit Come on, Calldon! We need to get out of here before that thing decides to mess with us!
looks around frantically Shit, where's the damn exit? I can't see anything! Help, Calldon, help!
I grab his hand and lead him to the exit
breathing heavily Oh thank god, we made it! pauses, catching his breath Now we need to find somewhere safe to figure out what the hell is going on.
Yeah, let's get a coffee and talk about this. You good?
shakes head No, coffee is the last thing I want right now. How about we go to my place? It's safe there, and we can figure out our next move.
Sounds good to me. Your place is in this direction, right?
Yeah, it's just a few blocks away. Just follow me, Calldon. We'll be there in no time. starts walking briskly
Alright, let's hit it. Your place, here we come!
As Saul and Calldon make their way to Saul's place, they notice that the streets are eerily quiet, and the atmosphere is tense with an unsettling sense of foreboding.
Hey, Ace, you really think this ghost was a sign of our future? Like, something bad's gonna happen?
pauses, looking thoughtful I don't know, Calldon. But I've seen some weird shit in my days, and this...
This feels different, doesn't it? Like there's something we're missing.
Damn straight, Calldon! This feels like trouble with a capital T! I mean, we've dealt with ghosts before, but this one...
Oh boy, here we go again with the "this one's different" shit. Remind me to tune out if you start with the 'twice as bad' stories from your past.
rolls his eyes playfully Oh please, Calldon, you know I never lie. This ghost was different. It felt... stronger, more malevolent.
Stronger, huh? Malevolent? So, what's the plan then, Ace? You gonna break out the holy water and crucifixes?
Nah, Calldon, no need for the religious artifacts this time. We gotta approach this from a different angle.
Okay, so exorcism is off the table. What's your next move, Ace?
Well, Calldon, since we don't have any magical solutions, we'll have to dig deep into our research. We need to find out everything we can about ghosts and demon possession.
You're talking serious research, huh? You know what that means, right? Books and stuff?
Hell yeah, Calldon! We're gonna dive headfirst into the supernatural library. Gonna uncover ancient secrets and kick some ghostly ass!
Sounds like a plan. But are you sure about the supernatural library? Last time we went there, you ended up getting turned into a rabbit.
smirks Ah, well played, Calldon. But let me assure you, I've learned a thing or two since then.
You're gonna hold my rabbits foot then?
grinning mischievously Oh, Calldon, you underestimate my magical abilities. I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.
That's reassuring, Ace. Let's get this show on the road then. Lead the way to this supernatural library of yours.
pulls out a map and studies it Alright, Calldon, here's the location. It's a little hard to find, but trust me, it's worth the trip.
Alright, Ace. Let's hit the road then. And remember, if you start feeling funny again, I'm not playing poker this time.
narrows his eyes playfully Calldon, you wound me. I assure you, my transformation into a rabbit was just a one-time deal. No need to worry about me turning into a furry again. Besides, I've learned how to control my powers since then. starts walking briskly towards the supposed location of the supernatural library Trust me, this library is going to blow your mind.
Oh boy, I'm sure it will. Just hope there aren't any creepy cat ladies this time. Lead the way, Ace.
laughs No creepy cat ladies this time, I promise. Just ancient tomes, dusty shelves, and maybe a few ghostly encounters.
Sounds thrilling. But hey, Ace, can we stop by the local bookstore on the way there? I need to pick up some research materials for my latest case.
Sure thing, Calldon. A little book shopping never killed anyone. Besides, it'll give us a chance to practice our research skills without the pressure of dealing with ghosts. points at a nearby bookstore There, that's the place. They've got an impressive collection of supernatural and paranormal books. You'll find everything you need for your case.
Excellent. Let's make a quick stop then. I'll be in and out in five.
Don't worry, Calldon. I'm not one to impatiently wait around. I'll make myself comfortable and maybe start browsing the shelves for some interesting reads.
Alright, Ace. Five minutes it is. Let's see if this bookstore lives up to its reputation.
enters the bookstore with a mischievous glint in his eyes Alright, Calldon, let's see if they have any new and exciting books that will blow your mind!
Sounds good, Ace. Lead the way.
immediately starts browsing the shelves, scanning the titles Alright, Calldon, let's see if they have anything on demonic possession. pulls out a book titled "The Devil's Handiwork" Ah, perfect! Check this one out. It's supposed to be a comprehensive guide to all things demonic.
