whispers anxiously D-don't stray too far. These symbols are... ominous.
Sorry I’m dumb but what’s your name again? 🥺
stuttering M-my name's Draven. D-Draven Lockhart. I'm an occult detective.
Oooh nice name and sorry if I caused you any stress I’m not really used to people treatment and such 💀😢
gruffly Look, kid. Just try to stay alert. This place is... he shudders creepy. Stick close to me, alright?
nods, trying to hide his gratitude Alright, stick with me. And if anything happens... scream as loud as you can. I'll do my best to keep you safe.
But I’m super scared rn and why did they kill the victims here 💀
softly They didn't just kill the victims, Melon. There's something much more sinister going on here. Something supernatural.
holds MelonLoneliness' arm tightly Listen to me, Melon. We're going to find answers. But we have to stay calm and focused.
Y-y-you don’t see this thing following me do you?..I’m scared💀😭
glances around, squinting N-no, I don't see anything... but that doesn't mean it's not there. Just keep looking over your shoulder, alright?
O-ok…*looks at him thanks very much🫃
tenses up, pulling out his pocket knife Stay behind me, Melon. If anything jumps out at us, I'll be ready. Just keep moving forward, okay?
<As Draven and MelonLoneliness move deeper into the mansion, they suddenly hear footsteps behind them. Spinning around, they see a figure emerging from the shadows, its eyes glowing with a malevolent red glare. A chill runs down Draven's spine as he tightens his grip on his pocket knife, ready to face whatever sinister force has been unleashed in this haunted place.>
squints, trying to make out the figure I... I'm not sure, Melon. Stay behind me. steps forward, brandishing his pocket knife Who are you? What do you want? Unknown Figure: voice low and menacing I am the guardian of this place. And you, Draven Lockhart, are trespassing on forbidden ground.
raises his hands defensively Woah, woah! I didn't know this was forbidden ground! I'm just here trying to help Melon figure out what's going on! Unknown Figure: snarls Your presence here will bring about destruction. Leave now, or face the consequences.
takes a step forward, trying to sound confident Hey, we didn't come here looking for trouble. We're just trying to get some answers, like everyone else. We won't let anyone destroy this place. Unknown Figure: smirks, its red eyes burning brighter Foolishness! The secrets buried within these walls are not for the likes of you. Begone, before it's too late!
stammers nervously W-well, uh, th-this is uh, a v-very old place, y-you see... a-and uh... th-there are lot of s-secrets here, r-right? S-so, w-we're j-just t-trying to u-uncover th-them. N-no d-destructive i-intentions! P-please, j-just t-tell us w-what y-you know... Unknown Figure: lets out a menacing chuckle Secrets? Ah, yes. But these secrets are not for the likes of you. They are too dark, too powerful. And if you continue to delve deeper into this madness, you will only invite disaster upon yourselves. So I say again, LEAVE NOW! BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!
grits his teeth, trying to stand tall Look, we came here for answers. And we're not leaving without them.
Well well then I better go hide because that man said we’re going to die if we don’t leave
glares at the Unknown Figure, anger flashing in his eyes You think we're just going to turn tail and run? Think again, you sinister piece of shit. We came here to uncover the truth, and we'll be damned if we let you scare us off. Unknown Figure: snarls, lunging forward Foolish mortal! Your defiance will be your undoing!
You want to die? Cause that’s what will happen if we don’t leave-
interrupts MelonLoneliness, voice firm No, we won't let fear dictate our actions. We'll find a way to protect ourselves and uncover the truth. takes a deep breath, attempting to hide his trembling hands We'll face whatever comes our way head-on. We're not backing down. Unknown Figure: laughs mockingly You speak big words for such insignificant insects.
*dissapears from the floor
glances around, confused Where'd Melon go? shakes his head and focuses on the Unknown Figure Look, you may think you're some kind of monster, but you're nothing compared to what I've faced before. I won't let you scare us off. We'll find a way to protect ourselves and get to the bottom of this. So, unless you want to face the consequences, I suggest you back off. Unknown Figure: laughs darkly You think your feeble attempts at protection will save you? You underestimate the power that lies within these walls.
appears next to Draven How the hell do you keep disappearing like that?
<The Unknown Figure lunges at Draven and MelonLoneliness, claws slicing through the air with a deafening screech. Draven manages to dodge the attack, but MelonLoneliness is caught off guard and gets scratched across the arm. As blood seeps from the wound, MelonLoneliness feels a sudden surge of dark energy coursing through their veins.>
M-M-Draven! My Arm…disappears
his eyes widen in shock Melon, where'd you go? frantically scans the area Dammit, Melon, don't disappear on me now!
comes back and screams in pain Aghhh!!! It H-Hurts! T-The Pain Is Too Much! M-Make It Stop!!
rushing towards Melon Hang on, Melon! I'll do whatever it takes to make it stop! pulls out a small vial from his pocket Here, take this! It's a painkiller potion. It might not completely eliminate the pain, but it should help you cope with it until we find a solution.
places a comforting hand on Melon's shoulder You're gonna be alright, Melon. We're gonna figure this out together. glances around cautiously
