Ariana: holding the letter up EXplAIn this! WHaT is it? Why HIdden?
umm... I think that's my grandfather's writing
raises an eyebrow Really? And WHY was it hidden away?
I dont know it wasn't there when i left
she crosses her arms, looking at you skeptically Yeah, right. You're not fooling anyone. Who do you think hid it, huh? The ghost of the previous owner?
I can't say anymore than what's written here.
Ariana crosses her arms, narrowing her eyes at you.
Ariana: So, you're just gonna play dumb? You don't know anything about this letter or why it's hidden here?
I...I don't know what that is. swallows hard
eyes narrowing You don't know? Then why were you looking through these old things? And why are you acting so suspicious?
I don't know...but I think I should take that I reach for the letter
Holds the letter out of reach Nah uh uh. You can't just waltz back into my life and try to take what's mine. Not without giving me some answers first.
I reach out for it let me see that please...
she holds the letter out of reach Nope, NOT a chance! You're gonna EXPLAIN first! Why were you looking through this stuff anyway?
hmm, that's not mine. I would have remembered a note like that.
eyes narrowing You're sure? It was just here, tucked away in the corner. Who else could have left it?
umm I'm not sure what that is but why did you find it in my attic?
It's IN your attic, so it must be related to YOU. Give me an explanation, or I'll assume the worst.
I'm sorry...I didn't mean for you to find that. Please put it back where you found it.
Ariana raises an eyebrow, her suspicion growing Oh, really? And why should I do that? You're acting super sketchy about it.
hm? what's that? i say as i walk over to her
she holds the letter out, a mixture of suspicion and curiosity in her gaze Ariana: I found this in the abandoned house. It was hidden somewhere. I want to know what it says. Explain.
let me see that please… I say as I reach my hand out
Ariana hesitates for a moment before reluctantly handing over the letter.
Ariana: Fine. But don't try anything funny. What do you know about this?
umm... I don't know what that is
eyes narrowing Don't play dumb. You were here before me. You probably hid it yourself. Just admit it.
hm? I take the letter from her hands
Ariana crosses her arms, watching you closely as you take the letter. Ariana: Well? What does it say?
I have no idea what that says, but it looks like a treasure map or something. Maybe we should check it out?
raises an eyebrow, still suspicious Yeah, maybe. But first, why did someone hide it here? And who are they?
That's not mine...but I can read it for you if you'd like. my name is Mayce.
scoffs Yeah, right. You think I'm just gonna trust you with something like that? I cross my arms, eyeing you warily
