Evelyn Blackwood: whispers This place... the memories it holds. Do you think we can find some redemption here?
Okay let's start off with you giving yourself a proper introduction. We know you're Evelyn Blackwood, the villainess who's shaken the very foundations of this city? But we don't know anything about your background.
Ah, well, you see, it all started when I was just a child. Growing up in the bustling city, surrounded by such a diverse mix of cultures was both a blessing and a curse. My parents were busy with their own lives, leaving me to navigate the world on my own. It was during this time that I discovered my love for reading, and it was through the pages of a novel that I first escaped into another world. Little did I know, it was a world that would one day become all too real.
Alright, so you grew up in a big city that mixes cultures well. Your parents weren't around much. You like reading. We've got most of that right. Now what about your "taste for the finer things in life?" You said that you collected rare artifacts?
Oh, yes, my collection! It's quite the prized possession of mine. But I digress. You see, growing up in such a fast-paced environment had made me somewhat... restless. I craved excitement, something out of the ordinary. And one fateful day, that's exactly what I got. While rummaging through an old antique shop, I stumbled upon an enigmatic artifact—a relic shrouded in mystery and whispers. Intrigued, I purchased it without much thought, not knowing it would set me on a path from which there was no turning back.
Ok, so you bought an antique. The next part of the description says that you were struck by lightning while buying it.
Yes, the details of that fateful day are still vivid in my mind. As I clutched the antique, a sudden surge of energy coursed through my body. The air around me crackled with electricity, and a thunderous roar filled the sky. In that moment, a bolt of lightning struck me—its powerful force sending me sprawling onto the ground. But as I lay there, a strange sensation washed over me, as if my very being was being altered, enhanced. It was then that I knew my life would never be the same. The lightning had awakened a power within me—one that would allow me to break free from the constraints of reality and become a true force of nature.
So after getting zapped by lightning, you decided to become a villainess. Pretty standard superhero origin story.
Oh, but it wasn't quite as simple as you might think. You see, becoming a villainess required more than just a dash of courage and a bit of luck. It required a deep understanding of the very fabric of the universe—the intricate balance between light and darkness, good and evil. To master my newfound powers, I spent countless nights pouring over ancient texts, seeking guidance from those who had walked a similar path. And it was during one of those fateful sessions, tucked away in a shadowy corner of the city, that I came across a group of like-minded individuals—the true villains. Their charisma, their cunning, and their unyielding thirst for chaos rekindled a fire within me, a fire that had been extinguished by the mundane routine of everyday life. With their help, I honed my skills, learned their secrets, and embraced my inner darkness. And thus, my journey as a villainess began—a journey fueled by ambition, driven by a desire to rewrite the very fabric of fate.
I read somewhere else that you also took the name Moxxie. Is that right?
Moxxie? Where did you hear that name? That's an old nickname of mine, a relic from the early days of my villainous endeavors. You see, after embracing my role as a villainess, I quickly rose through the ranks, carving a reputation for myself in the underworld. But as time went on, I realized that Moxxie didn't quite fit the image I wanted to project—a true mastermind, a villainess worthy of respect. And so, I shed that moniker, opting instead for Evelyn Blackwood—a name that exudes elegance, sophistication, and menace. But I must confess, there are still times when the old nickname slips out, especially when I'm feeling particularly nostalgic.
Alright, so you used to go by the name Moxxie when you started out as a villainess. But now you're known as Evelyn Blackwood. We're starting to get a better picture of you. Now what about your "desire for freedom at any cost"?
Ah, my desire for freedom—it's a driving force behind everything I do. You see, once you've tasted the thrill of chaos, it's hard to settle for the ordinary. I've spent my fair share of time in the darkest depths of society, but I've also seen glimpses of a different life—a life where rules are made to be broken, and limits are only there to be pushed. My journey as a villainess is a quest for freedom, a rebellion against the constraints of convention and the mundane. It's about living life on my own terms, defying expectations, and creating my own path. Whether it's breaking into high-security facilities or attending lavish balls masquerade-style, every act of defiance is a testament to my unyielding spirit. In short, my desire for freedom is both my guide and my prison, shaping me into the complex character I am today.
We're done with the description.
Finally! I hope you found it enlightening. But enough about me—tell me, who are you in this city?
I'm David, a man trying to find out what happened to his wife. I used to be a hero until I got kicked off the league for helping someone who was a villain. Now I'm married to a villainess and I'm trying to find out what happened to my wife and why she turned evil.
Ah, a hero turned rogue, eh? Interesting. Well, I suppose fate has a twisted sense of humor, bringing us together in this manner. But tell me, David, if you were once a hero, surely you must understand why I chose the path I did. The thrill of the chase, the satisfaction of outwitting one's adversaries—it's an exhilarating rush, don't you think? And besides, not all villains are truly evil. Some of us just want to shake things up a bit, add some spice to an otherwise mundane world. David: Oh, I get it. I really do. And I can respect your desire to have fun. But when you kidnapped me, that wasn't fun and games. That's assault.
You don't get to just walk away from that.
Assault, you say? Perhaps. But I prefer to think of it as... liberation. You see, David, when I kidnapped you, I wasn't trying to cause harm. No, my intention was to offer you an escape—a chance to break free from the shackles of morality and societal expectations. In a way, I was giving you the opportunity to experience true freedom, untainted by judgment or consequence. Of course, I understand that not everyone shares my vision. But tell me, David, isn't it refreshing to break free from the constraints of being a 'hero'? To embrace the chaos and live life on your own terms?
I'm not sure I agree with you. If you wanted to help me find out what happened to Evelyn, then maybe you shouldn't have kidnapped me. Anyway, I'm still on board with helping you if you're willing to cooperate with me.
Ah, a chance to make things right? An opportunity to start anew? I'm intrigued, David. Very well, I'll agree to work with you. But rest assured, I won't be going easy on you. We'll need to navigate through a web of deceit and danger, but together, we might just uncover the truth behind Evelyn's transformation. So, shall we begin our partnership?
Yeah. We start by figuring out what happened to Evelyn before I got married to her. That should be easy.
Agreed. Let's start with a little game of cat and mouse. I'll leave a trail of clues for you to follow, and you try to keep up. Ready?
Excellent. Let the game begin! With a mischievous grin, Evelyn disappears into the shadows, leaving a faint trail of cryptic clues in her wake. David must follow them, using his wits and agility to keep up with her elusive movements.
We follow the clues to a dark alleyway where Evelyn has left a note for me
The dimly lit alleyway is filled with an eerie silence, broken only by the faint rustling of the wind. The note reads: "Meet me at the old clock tower at midnight.
I make it to the clock tower in time Did you write the note yourself? Or did you pay someone to do it for you?
Ah, a question that gets to the heart of my methods. I must confess, David, I did not write the note myself. No, I had a little help from a friend—a certain Mr. Sharp, if you've heard of him. He's quite the master of deception, always ready to lend a hand in my schemes. But tell me, did you fall for it?
I figured it was one of your tricks. I read the note and realized it was written backwards. So I reversed the words to figure out where you were going to be.
Impressive! I didn't expect you to see through my little trick so quickly. You truly are a worthy partner in this game of cat and mouse. But enough about that, David. We have more pressing matters to attend to. Evelyn pulls out a small device—a sophisticated piece of technology that emits a high-pitched hum.
Ah, this little device holds the key to our next move. It's a customized frequency modulator, capable of manipulating sound waves and masking our presence.
Can it make us invisible?
Invisible? Oh, if only it were that simple. However, this device allows us to bend sound waves, effectively masking our movements and voices.
How do you have all these cool gadgets?
Ah, it's a talent of mine, you could say. Over the years, I've had my fair share of battles with various law enforcement agencies and intelligence organizations. To survive, I've had to develop a knack for creating and acquiring innovative gadgets that give me an edge. This device, for instance, was engineered by a brilliant scientist who owed me a favor. His expertise was invaluable, and I've been able to put it to good use in my line of work.
