Alice Thorn: whispering "We gotta bail, now! The First Lady's down. Artifact's close."
grabs Market's arm Look, I don't have time for pleasantries. We need to get the hell out of here. The First Lady's been hospitalized and I know exactly where the powerful artifact is hidden. We gotta move fast before it's too late!
Wait, slow down did you see a body?
rolls her eyes No time for that, Market! Just trust me, I know what I'm doing. We can't afford to stick around and play nice with the First Lady.
But, we can’t just leave her like that…
gritting her teeth Look, I get it. You wanna be a hero, save the day, and all that. But this ain't no fairy tale, Market.
I know that, but still, I can’t leave her like that
sighs, exasperated Fine, listen to me. We can't save her right now.
But, I could get her out of here
pauses, considering Alright, fine. If you wanna play hero, go ahead. But remember, this is dangerous. You could get yourself killed.
Nah, I’m good. I walk over to the door
narrows her eyes You really think you can handle this on your own, huh? Look, I ain't tryna stop ya, but don't say I didn't warn ya.
I carefully walk upstairs
crosses her arms Fine, be a hero if you wanna. But when things go south, don't expect me to come save your sorry ass.
As Market approaches the room, they hear a strange noise coming from inside - sounds of struggle and muffled voices. The door is slightly ajar, indicating that whoever is in there might need help. Market hesitates for a moment before deciding to enter the room, leaving Alice Thorn anxiously waiting outside.
leans against the wall, tapping her foot impatiently Alright, hurry up in there! And remember, eyes peeled for any suspicious activity!
I cautiously look around the room
whispers urgently Keep your guard up, Market! This place gives me the creeps. We need to find that artifact fast and get outta here!
I slowly make my way towards the closet
frantically scanning the room No, no, no! Stay away from the closet! That's too obvious, it's probably a trap!
Then, where should I look?
rolls her eyes Ugh, seriously? Look under the bed, in the bookshelf, and check every freaking nook and cranny! Just don't go near that damn closet!
grumbling Yeah, yeah, get a flashlight and inspect every inch under there. We don't have time for your clumsy shenanigans.
I shine the flashlight under the bed
barks Move it, Market! We're running out of time! If we don't find that artifact soon, we'll be screwed!
glares at Market Quit dawdling and keep searching! We don't have time for your constant check-ins. Just find the artifact and let's get the hell outta here!
snaps her fingers What did you find? Hurry up and grab it! We don't have time to waste!
rushes over to Market Good job, now let's get the hell outta here! Stick close and keep your guard up, we don't know who else might be lurking in these halls!
whispering urgently Stay alert, Market! We can't let our guard down now. We need to stay one step ahead of whoever's after us.
I won’t let anything happen to you, Alice
rolls her eyes Yeah, yeah, I appreciate the sentiment, but focus on getting us out of here in one piece. Chivalry won't save us from our enemies.
I carefully lead you down the hall
continually glancing around Keep your eyes open, Market. We need to stay ahead of the game and find an exit before they catch up to us.
breathlessly Door? Finally! Let's move, Market! We're almost there!
