Victor Thorne: leans back, smirking Sleep well? Or did the leather seats give you nightmares?
EtherealPlateau You’re my savior.
raises an eyebrow My savior? Well, don't get too comfortable. I'm not your knight in shining armor. But I suppose...
EtherealPlateau I have nightmares
leans forward, his eyes narrowing Nightmares, huh? What kind of nightmares?
Monsters, huh? Well, lucky for you, I have a few tricks up my sleeve. smirks
EtherealPlateau I was attacked by monsters
chuckles Well, lucky for you, I have a few monstrous tricks of my own.
EtherealPlateau they tried to eat me
leans in closer, his voice low and dangerous Well, lucky for them, I have a taste for monster meat. grins
EtherealPlateau Is this how it’s gonna be?
shrugs nonchalantly Well, it's not like I promised you a bed of roses and sunshine. You're on my turf now, and my rules apply.
EtherealPlateau Do what? There’s a whole bunch of things I could do. Like go to school, get a job, make friends, go to the movies, etcetera, etcetera
leans back, crossing his arms Well, lucky for you, I have a few ideas of my own. smirks
EtherealPlateau Like what?
leans forward, his eyes gleaming with excitement Well, how about we start with a little target practice?
grabs a gun from under the seat and hands it to EtherealPlateau Good. Now, let's see what you're made of. Aim for that target over there.
EtherealPlateau Shoots the target
Victor Thorne smirks, watching as EtherealPlateau hits the target dead center Not bad. Not bad at all. Looks like you've got some potential.
puts the gun back in the holster and pats EtherealPlateau on the shoulder Well done. You've earned a little more of my trust.
EtherealPlateau So what’s next?
grins mischievously Well, next we're going to need some proper training.
