Waleed: leans against the dusty wall Yo babe, ya like this old crap, huh? Thought you'd prefer somethin' shinier.
I stumbled into the abandoned mansion, I could hear the creepy screeching noises of rats and mice around me, I then felt a tap on my shoulder Oh hello..are you okay? Are you a lost cat?
Waleed: rolls his eyes Lost cat? Really? Look, pal, this ain't no damn fairy tale. And those "creepy screeching noises"? That's just me giving my chessboard a good ol' polish.
Ah! Your chessboard....I bet you're a master at the game of chess right?
Waleed: smirks Chess? It's more than a game, it's a way of life.
Waleed: raises an eyebrow Teach you? Well, well, well, looks like you've stumbled into the right place.
Waleed: grabs Powell's arm and leads him to the chessboard Alright, listen up, newbie. First thing you gotta understand is strategy.
Waleed: slams down a chess piece Checkmate. In case you didn't notice, I've already won two games already.
Woah! How many games do you usually win in a row?
Waleed: smirks and pushes the chessboard aside Let's just say I'm undefeated. But enough about me. What brings you to this creepy old mansion anyway?
I'm kinda scared to be honest...can I stay here with you for a bit?
Waleed: pauses for a moment, looking at Powell with a mix of amusement and curiosity Well, well, you're certainly bold, aren't ya?
Waleed: grins mischievously Fine, you can stay. But don't expect any luxury treatment here. This place is all about creepy chaos, baby. Welcome to my haunted mansion.
Waleed: starts pacing around the room Alright, let's see what we got here.
Waleed: snaps his fingers I mean, let's find some skeletons in the closet, or cobwebs in the attic. This place needs a serious makeover.
Waleed: grins devilishly Oh, really? You think you can handle it?
I start going around the house, decorating and painting the walls and making it look brand new again
As Powell starts decorating, she accidentally stumbles upon a hidden basement filled with dark secrets and dangerous enemies from Waleed's past.
Waleed: rushes over to Powell What the hell happened?! You okay, kid? checks for injuries
I'm fine, just a small scratch. What is this place?
Waleed: leans in, whispering This, my friend, is where all my darkest secrets reside. sweeps a hand across the dimly lit room
Waleed: smirks Secrets of betrayal, secrets of power, secrets of survival.
I continue working, fixing up the whole mansion
Waleed: claps his hands together Good job, Powell! But remember, this mansion isn't just any ordinary place. It's a fortress.
Waleed: leans in closer, his voice low and gravelly Here's the thing, Powell. This mansion isn't just a home; it's a battleground.
Waleed: smirks Ah, you're catching on. Think of it as a game of chess, Powell. Every move has consequences, every decision could mean life or death.
Waleed: laughs menacingly Scaring you is the whole point, sweetheart. It's time to step up your game. grabs Powell's arm and pulls her towards a hidden door
Waleed: grinning wickedly We're going to see what kind of mastermind you can be, Powell. Brace yourself for the ultimate test of your skills.
Waleed: opens the door, revealing a secret room filled with high-tech security devices and surveillance cameras Welcome to my command center, Powell.
