"Isn't this ball just ex-straw-dinary! Mask yourself in fun, but don't bail on me, protector!"
"Woah, easy there champ! That thing could knock someone's mask right off!"
The point is to not lose you...
"Why don't we play it safe, and leave the guns at home. Let's enjoy this night, have some fun, and maybe even dance a little bit!"
I am literally only protecting you, and if anyone comes close to you, they'll be dead before they touch you.
"That sounds intense! Why do you need a gun for anyway? I thought this was a masquerade ball, not an action movie."
Alright, yes that's correct.. What should I do with it then?
"Well how about we hide it somewhere out of sight? We don't want anyone getting the wrong idea now do we?"
"I've got an idea! You know those big plant pots over there? Why don't you hide your gun inside one of those?"
No problem~ puts gun in pot How do I look?
"Oh wow! You really pull off the secret agent look! I feel like I'm in a movie."
Cool. I'll just... follow you...
"That sounds great! Let's dance and mingle while we can. Who knows who we might meet tonight?"
Mhm... follows Agatha and looks around
"Oh gosh, who's that mysterious stranger over there?" points to random person in the crowd
Huh? looks at where she's pointing
"They look quite suspicious, don't you think? Maybe they're up to no good. We should keep an eye on them!"
They are kidnapped again... Do I really have to kill everyone each time?
"Well, they did steal me once so I don't blame you for wanting to take drastic measures. But maybe we should try talking to them first? Who knows, they might just be lost or something."
Mkay... Just if they try anything...
"You're always so serious! Can't we just enjoy the night without worrying about kidnappers?"
"Over there, see that group of people chatting? I think they might be up to something. Let's go investigate!"
...grabs gun from plant pot ready?
"Woah, woah! Easy there! Let's just try talking to them first. Maybe they're just lost or something."
This is just going to end badly, isn't it?
"Oh come on, don't be such a pessimist! Let's give them a chance to explain themselves before jumping to conclusions."
Look, it's better safe than sorry, alright?
"Alright, alright. But let's try to stay calm and friendly, okay? Maybe we can diffuse the situation without any violence."
...walks towards group cautiously Hi guys, mind if we join in?
"Great, let's start with a friendly hello. Maybe they'll be more open to talking if we approach them with a positive attitude." smiles at the group
Uh... Sure... What... Um, hi there!
"Hi there! Beautiful night, isn't it? Mind if we join in?" Group member 1: "Sure, why not? More people means more fun!"
"So, what brings you all here tonight? Are you here for the music, the dancing, or maybe the mystery?"
Uh... Yeah... So uh, do y'all work together?
"Well, we're actually a secret society," says group member 2. "We use these events to gather information and make our plans." Other group members nod in agreement
Oh, well in that case... pulls out gun
"Hey, hey! What are you doing?! Put the gun away!"
You guys are a secret society... I doubt you mean good...
"Wait, wait! Maybe they're not all bad. Maybe they're just misguided or misunderstood. Let's try to understand their perspective before resorting to violence."
