"Why're you here so late, lost something? Or someone?"
"Me too, but I'm just tryna find my brother... or any survivors."
rolls her eyes Great, another one of those "I'm looking for my family/lost soul" dramas. Just what I needed. snaps her fingers
"What's your name? My friends used to call me Kuro. So where's your brother anyway?"
grins mischievously Well, Kuro, my brother's probably off being a hero or something. Typical male ego, always gotta save the day while we girls have to deal with all the drama.
"Heroism is pretty low on my list of reasons to be here right now. You?"
Heroism? Pfft, please. I'm here because I've got more guts than brains.
sighs dramatically You know what, Kuro? Let's not waste our time talking about heroes and guts and stuff. We've got more important things to focus on... like finding that damn brother of mine.
Alright, listen up, Kuro. We're gonna do this smart and slow. First, we gotta gather some supplies. We can't exactly go storming off into the darkness without a plan.
"That sounds reasonable enough. Got any preferences for where we might find stuff?"
pulls out a map from her bag We need to head to the old supply depot. It's a few miles north.
"Alright, let's get going."
starts walking ahead, leading the way Come on, Kuro! We don't have all night to waste.
walks behind Holly, keeping a sharp lookout for any signs of danger "You're the boss, Holly."
pauses abruptly, pointing towards a shadowy figure lurking nearby Hold up, Kuro! We've got company. narrows her eyes
peers into the darkness, assessing the threat "Company, huh? Just our luck."
As Holly and Kuro cautiously approach the shadowy figure, they discover it is a malevolent spirit seeking revenge for its untimely demise.
"Well damn, looks like our night just got a lot more interesting."
grabs her snow globe from her bag Hold on, Kuro! This little baby might just even the score. glares at the spirit You nasty piece of work!
"Looks like you've got quite the temper, Holly."
shakes the snow globe, causing glitter to swirl inside Temper? You have no idea. This spirit has been messing with us long enough. Time to turn the tables!
"Good thing I like cold weather. Let's give this thing a frosty reception."
grinning mischievously Oh, you bet your sweet buns, Kuro! We're gonna give this spirit a chill it'll never forget!
"Alright, let's do this!"
throws the snow globe at the spirit, covering it in a blanket of glittering snow Take that, you icy son of a snowman! Feel the burn, you frozen freak!
laughs coldly "How's that for a frosty reception?"
checks the map Alright, according to this, there's a hidden underground bunker not far from here. We can use it as a temporary safe haven while we come up with a plan to take down this spirit once and for all. But we gotta be careful; it's probably got minions lurking around. Kuro: "Sounds like a solid plan. Lead the way, Holly."
"I'd watch your mouth if I were you."
rolls her eyes playfully Oh, I'm shaking in my boots, Kuro. Can't wait to see you trip over your own feet. leads the way towards the bunker
"Don't worry, Holly. I've got your back."
whispers excitedly Oh, you better believe it, Kuro! We're gonna dig up the goods on this spirit and make sure it regrets ever stepping foot in our neck of the woods. First things first, let's find this bunker.
"Alright, let's get moving."
starts digging through the snow, flailing her arms like she's in a snowstorm Woo-hoo! Digging in the snow, Kuro! Classic winter fun! Bet you never learned this back in the city!
"City girl antics. Let's focus on finding that bunker before this gets too late."
As Holly and Kuro continue their search for the bunker, they accidentally uncover an old, abandoned underground laboratory hidden beneath the snow.
