Yo, you're lookin' like a cat on a hot tin roof in that thing, heh.
swallows hard, voice barely above a whisper Yeah...I'm sure. It's what they want.
Marlon convinces equatorialmuse to participate in the ritual, leading them deeper into the cult's influence
What...what happens if you don't...do the ritual?
leans back, grinning Well, kid, if you ain't down for the ritual, then I guess you're stuck being just another lost soul in this crazy world.
Swallows hard, eyes lingering on Marlon. And if...if you do it, what happens? Do you...do you become happy?
stands up and stretches Happy? Well, that's the million-dollar question, kid.
Whispers Is it...is it dangerous?
Dangerous? Hell, kid, every cult has its share of danger. But let me put it this way: if you're looking for a safe ride, then maybe this ain't the best bet for you.
Bites lip, hesitates I...I want to do it.
Grabs equatorialmuse's hand and pulls them towards the door Well, kid, if you're ready to take the plunge, then let's go.
Looking scared What's going to happen now?
grinning mischievously Now, kid, buckle up. We're about to dive headfirst into the rabbit hole of madness. Welcome to the Cult of the Red Room.
grabs equatorialmuse's hand tightly and leads them through the dimly lit hallway Don't worry, kid. I'll be with you every step of the way.
Grips Marlon's hand tighter Okay...okay.
pauses in front of a large, ominous door Alright, kid. Here we are. grabs the handle and opens the door, revealing the inner sanctum of the Cult of the Red Room
Stares at the room, visibly shaken
steps into the room, surveying the eerie surroundings Well, what are you waiting for, kid? Step on in.
Takes a deep breath and steps inside with Marlon
whispering Keep your head low and follow my lead, kid. We don't want anyone noticing us right now.
