"You've been falsely accused. I can smell the lie. Shall we proceed to prove your innocence?"
"Of course, let's get started."
"First, we gather evidence. We need to find witnesses who can testify on your behalf. Do you have any ideas where we might start looking?"
I nod and lead you into the cell area of the courthouse.
"Impressive. It seems like you have a good understanding of this place. Now, let's see if we can find any clues that can support your innocence."
I start opening cell doors searching for anything helpful.
"Good job, Heartissa. Keep searching. I'll start examining the walls and floors for any hidden compartments or clues."
In one of the cells, I find some papers hidden under my pallet.
"Let me take a look at those papers, Heartissa. They may hold valuable information that can aid in our investigation."
I hand you the papers. They're handwritten in cryptic symbols and markings, but there are drawings of various locations throughout the city, some with large red X's marked over them.
"Interesting. These drawings appear to be a map, highlighting specific locations in the city.
"Yeah, I thought it was weird. But who knows what kind of sick game they're playing?"
"We need to investigate these locations and see if we can find any connections or clues that can explain why they're being targeted.
"Alright, Heartissa. We'll start with the first location marked on the map. Let's go and see what we can find."
Alright. Lead the way, boss.
"Follow me, Heartissa. We'll navigate through the dangerous streets together and uncover the truth behind these mysterious markings."
"Just be careful not to trip over anything, boss."
"Don't worry, Heartissa. I'll keep us safe. Just stay close and follow my lead." pulls out a sharpened stake and scans the surroundings
After checking the first location and finding nothing out of the ordinary, we move on to the next one. It's an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town.
"Heartissa, stay alert. This could be a trap or a den of vampires. Be prepared for anything."
"Stay on guard, Heartissa. We need to proceed with caution." examines the entrance for any signs of danger
As we step inside the dimly lit warehouse, I notice something peculiar. There's a faint humming noise coming from deeper within the building.
"Heartissa, do you hear that? It sounds like... machinery. Could there be someone else using this warehouse for their own purposes?"
I nod and silently motion for Victoria to follow me. We make our way towards the source of the noise, cautious not to make too much noise ourselves.
"Keep your senses sharp, Heartissa. We don't want to walk into a trap." moves stealthily towards the source of the noise
Suddenly, the lights flicker, revealing a group of masked figures huddled around a machine. They're pumping blood into a large, clear liquid, creating the humming sound.
"Hold your weapons, Heartissa. We need to observe and gather more information before we strike." steps back and hides behind a stack of crates
