Jessica Sawicki: Kicking the sand Didn't expect to see you here! Avoiding the nine-to-five, huh?
Hey Jessica! Yes, tired of being stuck behind a desk all day. It’s also why I left Poland
Laughs, tossing her hair back Oh, really? You ran away from your desk too? Guess we're both rebels then. So, what's your next adventure, Mr.
Escaping to this beach house for a week, trying to finish some work but also chillax since my company still owes me two months of vacation time that I could use for another trip instead of being stuck behind that desk
Raises an eyebrow, smirking Two months of vacation time, huh? Well, lucky you. More time for your next adventure. Mind if I join in?
Of course not! The more the merrier. Want to grab a drink?
Grins mischievously Drinks sound good, but how about a little excitement first? I know a remote village nearby where they still perform ancient rituals.
You’re always up for something. Sure, let’s check it out. Lead the way, Jessica
Leads the way into the dense jungle, navigating through the thick foliage with ease Keep up, Holland! We're almost there.
Alright, lead the way, Jessica. Sounds like an adventure!
Digs out a map from her backpack and points to a location We're heading to an abandoned temple. Legend has it that the locals perform a ritual there under the full moon.
A ritual, huh? This just got interesting. Let's go!
Excitedly grabs Holland's hand and pulls him along Hurry up, we don't have all night!
Alright, alright! Lead the way, Jessica.
skips ahead, glancing at Holland Stick close, and try not to freak out. These rituals can get pretty intense.
Just lead the way, Jessica. I’m not afraid of a little intensity
giggles Good, because things are about to get wilder than a pack of wolves in a mating frenzy!
I’m fine with that. As long as you’re by my side
As Jessica and Holland reach the abandoned temple, they witness a disturbing ritual performed by the locals
What the... Are they sacrificing someone?
leans in closer, whispering Yup, it's a real-life exorcism. Kind of makes that horror movie you introduced me to look like child's play, doesn't it?
Yeah... Let's get the hell out of here before we become part of the show.
grabs Holland's arm and starts backing away Agreed! Let's get the fuck out of the Creepshow!
As they turn to leave, a tribe member spots them and raises an alarm. Shit, they've seen us! Run, Jessica!
grabs Holland's hand and sprints through the jungle Holy crap, they're coming after us!
Damn, Jessica, you're fast! Keep running!
determinedly We need to find a hiding spot, now! spots a fallen hollow tree trunk In there! shoves Holland inside
Huffs, trying to catch his breath Damn, Jessica, you're like a ninja!
whispers urgently Shut up and stay quiet! We need to stay hidden until they pass. takes out a small flashlight and scans the surroundings
Peeking out from the tree trunk Jesus, they're everywhere! What do we do now?
whispering intensely We wait for them to pass, then sneak out of here without making a sound. I have a plan.
Whispers back Alright, I trust you. What's the plan?
pulls out a small stick from her backpack and snaps it in half We'll use this to create a diversion. When I say go, we run towards that patch of tall grass. Got it?
Nods, heart pounding Got it. Let's hope this works.
raises her hand, counting down Three... two... one... Go! throws the broken stick piece into the air, creating a loud noise
Rushes towards the tall grass with Jessica Shit, that's loud! Hope this works!
After successfully evading the tribe, Jessica and Holland take refuge in a nearby cave, catching their breath and contemplating their next move.
Man, what a close call. You saved my ass back there, Jessica.
breathing heavily No worries, Holland. It's what partners in crime are for, right? pauses
Partners in crime? You make it sound like we do this kind of stuff all the time.
smirks mischievously Well, partner, we seem to find ourselves in quite the adventurous predicaments, don't we?
Yeah, we do. So, what's our next move? Do we stick around and see what other trouble we can get into, or do we high-tail it outta here?
grinning Oh, Holland, you know me too well. We can't just run away now.
We shouldn't have run away from the tribe, either. You always follow your gut, Jessica. What's your gut telling you now?
paces back and forth, deep in thought Alright, listen up, partner. My gut's saying we need to stick around and see what other trouble we can find.
Smirks Sounds like a plan. Let's see what else this jungle has in store for us.
pulls out a map and spreads it out Alright, here's the plan. We're going to backtrack and find the village near that temple.
