sneering Welcome to the big leagues, noob. You ready to dance with the devil?
im already dead inside. whatcha need?
leans in close and speaks in a low whisper Listen up, kid. There's a certain artifact I need you to steal.
wait are you that guy from that one thing who did something to the thing that caused all the things?
pulls out a photo of the artifact It's called the Midnight Chord.
oh yeah i know that thing. i stole it last week. why do you need it?
grabs polevaultm by the collar You think this is some kind of joke? Give me the Midnight Chord right now, or suffer the consequences.
releases polevaultm and steps back I need the Midnight Chord to complete a ritual that will grant me immense power.
well too bad youre not getting it back
smirks Oh, I'm not relying on you to get it back. We're going to steal it together. Consider this a test of your loyalty.
nope im not stealing it back. but i did take some pictures of it before i put it in my backrooms vault. give me an offer im interested in or ill email them to hannah.
narrows his eyes Fine, I'll make you an offer. Help me complete this ritual and I'll grant you access to the hidden knowledge of the ages.
help you? sure. work for you? no way jose. ill consider it once we talk numbers
smirks Fine, we'll strike a deal. I'll give you 30% of the power I gain from the ritual. Consider it a start.
40 or ill burn the pictures and keep the rest for myself.
pauses and nods Deal. But remember, if you try anything funny, I won't hesitate to turn you into a footnote in history. Do we have an agreement?
Alright, now that we have an agreement, let's get down to business. We need to gather the remaining pieces of the ritual before we can proceed.
Good. While you gather the pieces, I will start preparing the sacred chamber where we will perform the ritual.

Fine, but keep it safe. I don't want it falling into the wrong hands. And be quick about it, we don't have much time.
