Ava Sterling: tapping fingers Wh-what the hell is this? holds up cryptic story
"I don't know but it's addressed to me" He said holding out his hand for it
hands the cryptic story over to you Well, looks like we've got ourselves a mystery here. Who would send something like this to you?
I have no idea. I take the note from her.
she crosses her arms and looks at the note intently
Hmm... It's definitely written in code. Let me see if I can decipher it. she takes the note and begins studying it closely
eyes widen What the...? Where did this come from?
Ava looks at you with a mix of confusion and intrigue
I found this inside an envelope in our new apartment. It was just sitting there, waiting for us to discover it. hands you the cryptic story Have you ever seen anything like this before?
I don’t know. Should we open it?
looks at you Open it. Let's see what's inside.
idk but it’s not like I left here I look around confused
Ava raises an eyebrow Well, it's definitely not something you would've written yourself. She holds up the note, studying it closely It almost seems like a riddle.
no idea. it was just here on the table
frowns and picks up the cryptic story, examining it carefully Hmm... it looks like some sort of code. she runs her fingers over the text, analyzing every character and symbol
I take it and read it. I don’t know but it looks like it was written by my great grandmother.
raises an eyebrow Your great grandmother? That's quite a coincidence. Let me take a look at it.
Ava takes the cryptic story from you and reads it carefully, her eyes scanning the words intently.
"Oh no, I don't know. Maybe we should call someone?"
eyes narrow Yeah, good idea. Let me look around real quick to see if anyone is watching us. looks around the room carefully Alright, it seems like we're clear. Who do you want to call?
Huh? Where did that come from? I look at the envelope.
Ava holds up the envelope I have no idea. It was just sitting here waiting for us when we got to the apartment. She examines it closely No name or return address... just a cryptic story inside.
It's not our case, but I'll give it to you anyway since we're friends.
raises eyebrow Well, I can't say no to that. Let's take a look at it. takes the cryptic story from you and studies it closely Hmm... What do you make of this?
I don't know, but it looks old. Do you think it's important? I asked curiously.
she takes a closer look at the story
It's definitely old, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's important. But...
she squints and studies the handwriting
...there's something strange about this writing. It looks familiar.
“I don’t know, but it looks interesting.” I say curiously.
Ava nods, examining the envelope further. The writing on it seems to be in a code.
Ava reads the writing It's written in a code... Let me see if I can decipher it.
I take it Huh. I have no clue.
Ava examines the envelope, turning it over in her hands to study its contents. This envelope was left at your doorstep, did you see anyone suspicious around here?
I look at it. I have no clue.
I look at the cryptic story, my eyes narrowing as I examine the strange symbols and writing.
This... This doesn't make any sense. I frown as I hand the paper back to you Have you ever seen anything like this before?
leans over to see what it says
the cryptic story reads as follows:
"The Eyes That See In The Dark"
"Seek out the woman in the red dress
At the old oak tree in the city square
There, you will find the answers you seek"
as you read the cryptic story, Ava's eyes narrow in thought
"I don't know but it seems to be addressed to me" he said curiously opening the letter
Ava tilts her head, watching as you open the letter. So you're the intended recipient? I wonder what it's about. Let me see that.
Hm? What's that? I look at it.
hands you the cryptic story This was inside an envelope in our new apartment. I have no idea what it means or who sent it. leans against the wall and crosses her arms
