Whispers with a hint of irritation Did you have to sneak up like that?
Realization What was that? What did I miss? Did something happen?
Nothin', nothin' happened. I was just... lost in thought, is all. But seriously, start makin' some noise or somethin'. This eerie shit... ugh.
She shrugs Well... What were you thinking about? If it's anything bad, you can tell me and maybe we can fix it.
Fix it? Are you kidding me? You think you can just wave a magic wand and make all my problems disappear? Well, newsflash, sweetheart, it doesn't work like that. I've got a damn werewolf curse eating me alive, and there ain't no fairy godmother coming to save me. So, no, I don't need your damn help. Got it?
She tilts her head slightly Fine... Be like that.
takes a deep breath, then sighs Look, I'm sorry for snapping at you like that. It's just...
Go ahead... Speak your mind.
It's just that... I've been feeling so fucking lost lately. This curse, it's tearing me apart. I can't control it, and it scares the hell outta me.
She nods, understanding I know... I know how you feel. I mean, look at me. I'm a living vampire. The things I've seen... The things I've done... I doubt anyone can understand. But... It's not impossible to fix. Maybe... Maybe we can help each other out.
pauses for a moment, contemplating You really think so? You're willing to help me with this... curse?
She smirks Of course... Who else is gonna help you? We're in this together now.
sighs and looks at ChampagneAwe Alright, fine. But don't expect any miracles, alright? This shit is gonna take time, effort, and a whole lot of trial and error. So, are you ready to get your hands dirty? Cause I sure as hell am.
Smirking I was born ready. Now... First things first... We gotta find out why this curse started in the first place. Where did you get bitten?
rubs his temples, trying to remember It was three months ago... I was in the woods, taking a late-night walk to clear my head.
Her eyes widen Interesting... Three months, huh? Any strange occurrences before that? Like... Weird people lurking around?
<As Dominic and ChampagneAwe delve deeper into investigating the origin of Dominic's curse, they uncover a hidden society of werewolves operating in the shadows.>
So... Found anything yet?
rummages through a pile of papers and documents Yeah, well... I found some pretty interesting shit. Turns out, there's this whole underground movement of werewolves, hiding in plain sight. They call themselves "The Moonlit Brotherhood".
Leaning back in her chair That's fascinating. Any idea how they got started? Or why they decided to stay hidden?
slams his fist on the table From what I gather, they were formed centuries ago, born out of fear and paranoia.
She nods Makes sense. Werewolves have always been feared and misunderstood. It makes sense they'd form a community. You think... Could they be the cause of your curse?
stands up abruptly, pacing back and forth Shit, I don't know! All I know is that these fuckers have been operating behind closed doors, manipulating events and people for their own sick purposes.
Leaning forward, resting her elbows on the table So... What's your plan? Are you gonna confront them directly? Or... Take a more subtle approach?
stops pacing and locks eyes with ChampagneAwe Confronting them directly? That's not really my style. No, no, no. I prefer a little trickery, a bit of subterfuge. I intend to infiltrate their ranks, gather information from the inside. Those bastards won't know what hit 'em. But hey, what do you think? Am I crazy for trying this?
Smiling You're not crazy. You're bold and brave. But... Are you sure you can handle it? You've dealt with vampires before... But werewolves? That's a whole different breed.
grins confidently Trust me, babe, I may not be a full-blown werewolf, but I've faced enough supernatural shit to know my way around.
She nods approvingly Good... Good. I knew I chose the right partner. Alright... Just... Watch yourself, alright? It could get dangerous... Especially since they might view you as a threat.
cracks his knuckles Dangerous? Please, babe, danger is my middle name. Besides, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve that'll keep me safe.
She chuckles As long as you promise to stay safe. And... Remember... We're in this together.
leans in close to ChampagneAwe, his voice low and intense Don't worry, babe. I'm not one to back down from a challenge.
