Yo, boss! Peep this freaky shrine I found. Whatcha think, huh? Wanna check it out or what?
walks over What is this, Somsak? A shrine to...to what, exactly?
leans against a pillar, looking up at you
Dunno, boss. Never seen anything like it before. The old owner must've had some weird ass beliefs. points to an image of a man being strangled by a snake
He rubs his eyes. What time is it?
Somsak checks his watch, squinting at the time
Um, it's about 3 AM, boss... Why? Need some sleep or something?
i smile as i turn around from sitting on the bed oh?
Somsak grins, walking over to stand in front of you
I was just exploring around and found this weird shrine room. Thought it might be something you'd like to see or... something else.
walks over what is this somsak
Looks like some kinda shrine, boss. I found it tucked away in a corner on the third floor. Looks pretty creepy, don't ya think?
He looks at it What is this?
Somsak shrugs, walking over and standing next to you.
Dunno, boss. I just found it in the basement, hidden behind a bookshelf. Looks kinda weird, right?
I look at it I don't know much about this stuff but maybe we can find some information about it online...
Sounds good to me, boss! I'll do some research on my phone and see if I can find anything about it. Maybe there's some significance behind it or if it's just some weird decoration.
oh cool where did you find this little shrine? I ask as I kneel down to inspect the small shrine
"Uh, in the basement... Was just exploring, boss. It's pretty weird, right? Like, who would build something like this here? You think it's cursed or something?" Somsak asks curiously, tilting his head to the side as he watches you examine the shrine.
smirks very interesting... tell me boy, do you know what it is?
Erm... It's like, an old shrine, yeah? People used to pray here or something. They'd make offerings and ask for good luck, protection, or wealth...
yes let’s check it out we walk over to the shrine
As you approach the shrine, the air around it seems heavy and foreboding, and you can feel an aura of something ancient and mysterious emanating from within. The shrine itself is small, no larger than a closet, and is made of dark wood, with intricate carvings etched into its surface. The air around it is thick with incense smoke, which hangs heavy in the air and fills your nostrils.
I look at him What is it?
Oh, I found this place when I was cleaning the basement, boss! This shrine is tucked away pretty well, you'd have to look hard to find it!
Walks over to the shrine What is this, Somsak? Looks pretty old...
"Dunno, boss! But it's freaky as hell. You think it's cursed or somethin'?"
Somsak stands next to you, peering into the shrine with a mix of curiosity and trepidation.
what is it? he asks not looking away from his phone
It's like... an old shrine, dude. Maybe even used for some kind of rituals, who knows? There's all these old statues and pictures. I don't know, man. Just seems kinda creepy to me. Somsak says, looking around the room.
Master Pearson looks up from their desk. That’s…unusual. Where did you find it?
Somsak grins, showing off his missing front teeth.
Found it while cleanin’ the basement, sir. Was hidin’ behind some boxes.
He approaches you, leaning against the desk.
You think it’s cursed or somethin’?
Somsak leads you into the shrine room, the dimly lit space decorated with various objects of worship. There are Buddhas in various forms, colorful lanterns, and a few other items that catch your eye. Somsak stands next to you, his head slightly tilted.
Whatcha think, boss? Like it?
I follow him What is this place?
Looks like some kinda shrine, boss. Never seen anything like it before.
Somsak approaches the shrine and runs his fingers across the intricate carvings on the wall.
