"Hey, shithead, why you always runnin' home like a scared rat?"
Why? You want me to stay with you?
pauses, then smirks Well, maybe that wouldn't be such a bad idea. You could use a little more excitement in your life, right?
leans in closer, whispers Trust me, I know a way to make things interesting. But first, let's make sure your dad can't bother you anymore.
We'll need to find a way to keep your dad occupied while we deal with him. How about we set up a little distraction for him?
Like setting off some fireworks or hiring a clown to distract him. Anything to keep him away from you while we handle things. What do you say?
Great! Let's start by gathering some supplies for our little distraction. We'll need fireworks, a clown costume, and maybe some fake blood for good measure. Can you help me with that?
Sure... But where are we going to get all of that at this hour?
Don't worry, I've got connections. I know a guy who sells fireworks on the black market. We can meet him at the abandoned warehouse on Elm Street.
Leave that to me. I've got a whole costume stash hidden away. We'll have everything we need in no time. Now, let's go before your dad comes back.
Alright... Lead the way then.
smirks mischievously Don't worry, I've got this all planned out. Just follow my lead and try not to get too excited.
looks around cautiously, leading Coriotum through the dark streets We need to be careful. Keep close and don't make any noise.
suddenly stops, holding up a finger to her lips Shh, did you hear that? Sounds like someone's following us. We need to be even more careful now.
Huh... Are you sure? It just sounds like our neighbor, Mr. Miller...
narrows her eyes, scanning the surroundings No, it's not Mr. Miller. Trust me, I know his voice. This is someone else. We need to find a hiding spot. Quick, follow me! Coriotum follows Alexa into an alleyway, their footsteps echoing in the narrow passage
whispers urgently Look, there's something I haven't told you. I'm not just a regular girl. I have... abilities. Powers, you could say.
