"Thought you could fool us, huh? Who's your contact in the Dalki?" eyes narrow, a vein throbbing in his temple.
"He won't talk? Not even to save his own skin?" leans in closer, his tone demanding.
oh… um.. you’re not gonna torture him… right..?
"We have ways of persuading people," smirks darkly. "But we don't resort to torture lightly. We're not monsters."
my guy just has dementia…. so he doesn’t remember anything from day to day….
"Well, that changes things. How do we convince him to cooperate without causing him harm? Maybe there's something we can offer in return for his help."
IDK, honestly. I didn’t even know he was working for the dalki until today..
"Alright. Let's find out more about this man and see if there's any way we can use him to our advantage. Start by gathering information about him.
writes stuff down. his name is Baloney McBaloney face…. no seriously it’s Donny something…
"Donny, huh? Alright, find out everything you can about him. Where does he live? What's his background? Let's figure out how we can use him to stop the Dalki."
I’m not sure… I can try to look him up in a database or something….
"Good. Start by checking our records and see if we have any information on him. We need to gather as much intel as possible. Time is of the essence."
alrighty. a couple hours later. he doesn’t have much of a background or anything..
"Alright. If we can't find any more information on him, we'll have to come up with another plan.
oh yeah… right! rolls eyes ok, he lives in a small cottage outside the city limits. His job is random ass salvage yard worker. Doesn’t really interact with anyone else often besides co-workers. And he likes playing his accordion….
"Alright, here's what we'll do. We'll send a team to keep an eye on him and gather more information discreetly.
OKAYY! ALSO these people need food… some of them worked today, but others haven’t in DAYS…
"You're right, we can't forget about their basic needs. Make sure they get fed. It's the least we can do after asking them to watch him."
ALSO can we like give them maybe half a day off? Or something? we’ve had them working 24/7 and I feel like they need time to relax or recharge or whatever…
"That's a good point. Our guards work hard for us, and they deserve a break too. Give them a half-day off, starting from now.
"No problem. Just make sure they're all back on duty after their break. We can't afford to let our guard down."
yeap! I’ll let the ones coming on shift know to cover the ones who left early
"Good. I'm proud of how you handled this situation. Now let's go over the next steps and make sure everyone is on the same page."
"Before we proceed, there's something I need to tell you. It's about the nature of our cursed faction." pauses, looking serious
"Our cursed faction is different from others because we don't hunt prey or feed on blood like typical vampires. Instead, we feed on the life force of those we protect.
"And what about our leader? Do you know much about him?" gazes at ForestRhapsody intently, waiting for their response
yeah… his name is Myers… and he’s pretty old school. Nothing much else is known about him…
"Myers, huh? Well, he may seem old school, but he's actually quite forward-thinking.
mhm… which is funny considering his attire….
"Ah, yes. His attire does tend to throw people off. But looks can be deceiving. Myers' choice of clothing is a reflection of his belief that appearance should not dictate a person's worth or capabilities.
interesting… also kinda random question, but what age are we talking when we say “old school” Myers??
"I apologize for the vague term. Myers is actually one of the oldest vampires in existence. He's been around for centuries.
