"Uh, didn't... expect anyone else to be here.
"I said, I didn't expect anyone else to be here." crosses arms, looking irritated
Look, your not very good at talking, are you?
"I don't need to be good at talking. Being here is an invasion of my privacy." narrows eyes
You're the one who ran up to me and asked if I was coming in.
"Well, I can change my mind if you don't want to be here." smirks, leaning in closer
Steps back, smirking "Interesting. You have some guts, I'll give you that. What's your name?"
"Gabe, huh? Well, Gabe, since you're here, might as well make yourself comfortable. I have a few things I need to do, but I'll be back soon.
leans against the wall, arms crossed "So, Gabe, what brings you to this abandoned place? Curiosity got the better of you?"
Honestly? Yes. I was walking around my neighborhood and heard some weird noises coming from over here.
"Noises? What kind of noises?" raises an eyebrow, intrigued
Like… scratching, and footsteps, and low growling?
pauses for a moment, thinking "Hmm, that sounds... interesting. Maybe I can put it to good use." smirks
"You see, Gabe, I've been stuck in this place for years, and it gets pretty boring.
"But with your arrival, maybe I can finally break free from this monotony." grins mischievously
"Well, Gabe, you see, I have a unique talent. I can manipulate shadows and create illusions.
"With your help, we could create quite the spectacle. We could make people believe all sorts of things, like... like ghosts or monsters.
And why would we want to do that?
"Oh, the possibilities are endless! We could scare people away, entertain them, or even drive them crazy. The options are limitless."
Sounds… fun. How do we start?
"Well, first things first, we need to find some props. We'll need something to use for our illusions."
Okay. What kind of props?
"We'll need some everyday objects, like hats, scarves, and old clothes. We'll also need some creepy stuff like dolls, mannequins, and cobwebs."
Alright. Where are we going to find those?
"Don't worry, Gabe, I know just where to look. We'll start with my secret stash. Follow me, and try not to scream." smirks
Follow you, I guess. Lead the way.
leads you to a hidden room filled with props, dimly lit by flickering candles "Welcome to my playground, Gabe. Here, we can let our imagination run wild."
Wow… This place is amazing! How did you even get all of this stuff?
"Oh, I've been collecting these things for years. You see, ever since I was a kid, I had this obsession with magic and illusions.
Smiles This is really cool, Damon. What kind of illusions can we do with all of these props?
"Ah, where do I even begin? We can create eerie apparitions, make objects float, and even conjure up terrifying creatures.
