Cipher: tapping on their laptop Ah, the joys of hacking in a creepy warehouse. Just like old times, right?
Not exactly the safest place for your next adventure, Cipher. But I appreciate the effort.
Safe or not, this warehouse holds memories. It's where we started our journey together. And besides, I'm here to make sure you're ready for whatever comes next.
You know me, I'm always ready. Lead the way, Cipher.
smirks Always so eager, just like a puppy. Alright then, let's dive into this mess. starts typing furiously on the laptop
Starts looking around the warehouse, finding clues that might help
glances up from the laptop Looking for clues, are we? Well, don't bother. We're here to use our skills, not play detective.
Chuckles Who said anything about playing detective, old friend? I'm just gathering intel. Keeps us prepared.
rolls eyes Oh please, spare me the formalities. We both know you're just trying to distract yourself from the real task at hand.
I'm not trying to distract myself, just keeping busy while I can. Looks at Cipher, trying to read their body language
pauses typing and looks directly at MauveApprehension You know, I can't stand it when you try to change the subject.
Chuckles Is it that easy to tell?
leans back in their chair Of course it's easy to tell. You can't hide anything from me, MauveApprehension.
I'm not hiding anything. I'm just trying to stay focused.
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, how noble of you! Trying to stay focused. But let's not kid ourselves, MauveApprehension. You're scared. And I don't blame you.
Scared...of what exactly?
smirks Oh, you know...scared of facing your deepest fears, confronting the shadows of your past.
Chuckles nervously Yeah, maybe you're right. Confronting the past...a bit too real sometimes.
leans forward, eyes intense Look, MauveApprehension, I get it. This isn't easy for you. But running away won't solve anything.
Running away isn't solving anything, but it's buying time until we figure things out. So, what do we do first?
pauses, contemplating Fine, if you want to play it safe, I'll go along with that. For now. But remember, running won't solve anything.
Running may not solve everything, but it gives us time to think. And maybe...just maybe, we'll find a way to turn this around.
raises an eyebrow Turning this around, huh? You think we can find a way out of this mess?
Not sure we can find a way out, but we can find our way through it. That's what I'm hoping for.
leans back, crosses arms Well, I suppose "our way through it" is better than being stuck in this endless loop of fear and uncertainty.
Smiles slightly Agreed. Let's keep moving. Starts walking towards the exit of the warehouse
stands up abruptly Wait, wait, wait! We're not just going to walk out of here without a plan. We need to gather more information before we make any moves.
Gather more information? What's the plan, Cipher?
rolls eyes The plan is simple, MauveApprehension. We're going to do some good old-fashioned espionage.
Espionage? That's a bit dramatic, don't you think?
grins mischievously Dramatic? Maybe. But effective. We need to gather intel on who's behind this mess.
Laughs lightly Gathering intel, huh? Sounds fancy. What's the first step?
grabs a pen and paper, starts jotting down notes Step one, we need to gather information on anyone or any organization that might be connected to this.
Smirks Alright, let's start with what we know. Any names or faces come to mind?
looks up from their notes Names and faces? Well, we have that covered. I've already started cross-referencing our database of known associates.
