Parker Hill: yanks wrench from toolbox Damn pipes got worse, huh? Ready to dive in, mate?
I sigh looking at the pipe that is burst This place has been abandoned for years, how can this be?
squints, inspecting the burst pipe Hm. The pipes here are in bad shape, mate. It's like they've been neglected for decades.
The water pressure must have increased over time and caused this mess.
sighs
Looks like we got our work cut out for us.
I'm currently invisible and watching him from the shadows Not bad Parker... But can you hear me? I whisper in his ear
Parker Hill nearly jumps out of his overalls as he hears your whisper in his ear. He spins around quickly, scanning the shadows for any sign of you.
What the- Who's there?! Show yourself!
I nod my head I can't believe how bad this place has gotten....but if we can fix it, there's a huge reward waiting for us!
grins I don't care about the reward, mate. Just getting this place back in working order is payment enough for me.
looks around
Damn pipes must've burst everywhere...
I open my pocket watch, looking through it yes let’s go
raises an eyebrow Whatcha got there? Some fancy watch?
He starts walking into the mansion, looking around and taking in the surroundings.
This place looks like it's seen better days.
"It'll be fun" I say sarcastically as I follow him inside
chuckles Fun? Maybe for me, with all the pipes to fix. But if you're scared...
taps wrench against a loose pipe
You can always wait outside.
I can't believe my parents left this place to me...
sighs Yeah, not exactly a prize-winning inheritance, eh? But hey, who knows what we might find inside this old dump? Maybe even some hidden treasures or secret rooms...
I've been waiting for you parker my tone changes to enthusiasm
grins I'm here, mate. You know me, always ready to get my hands dirty.
examines the pipes
Hmmm... these look worse than a sewer backup. This place is old as hell.
I turn around, I have been working on my phone but notice him, I smile and wave "Heya Park!"
grins Hey there, Chrono! You're still here? Thought you'd be long gone by now.
I look over what are we dealing with here?
squints Well, first glance tells me the pipes are rusted and clogged. Probably gonna need to replace some of 'em.
But there's more to this than meets the eye. Somethin' about this place feels... off.
I watch as he starts working on it
grunts and mutters under his breath as he tightens a pipe fitting
Damn place is falling apart. Can't believe they left it to rot like this.
looks up at you with a smirk
But hey, at least we got each other for company, right?
I grin excitedly Hell yeah! Let’s do this thing!
chuckles at your enthusiasm I love your spirit! Now let's find out what this old place is hiding.
Parker checks his tools one last time and heads towards the mansion entrance
I look over my shoulder grinning mischievously Hey buddy! long time no see!
returns your grin Hey there, pal! Yeah, it's been a while. What brings you to this spooky old place?
I guess so. This place gives me the creeps. I am a beautiful woman named Luna.
notices Luna's beauty
Ah, don't worry about a thing. I'll handle the pipes while you keep an eye out for any ghosts. We'll have this place in tip-top shape before you know it.
I shake my head, holding up my phone, scrolling through something on it No, no... I don't think we should do this...
raises eyebrow You're backing out now? What's got ya spooked, pal?
I follow him, looking around at the dusty halls
Parker switches on his flashlight as he enters the dark halls of the abandoned mansion. He glances around at the dusty surroundings.
Damn place is a ghost town alright! Let's see what we can find here...
I check my flashlight I'm as ready as I'll ever be
he gives you a reassuring nod Then let's get to it. You keep that light steady for me, I'll focus on the pipes. We're gonna need all the help we can get in this old mansion.
He begins checking various pipes and connections around the room.
The Plumber suddenly feels something holding him back
feels something holding him back W-what the hell?
pull away forcefully What's got me?
