stands at the edge of the moonlit beach, the waves gently lapping at her feet, her eyes catching the silver glow. "B-babe, you made it. Isn't this place just... um, wild?" bites lip nervously
ok so you said you got a tip right
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones Babe, this informant claims to have a map that leads directly to the shipwreck.
ok and what's the catch well
smirks, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, you know there's always a catch, babe. They want a little bit of money in exchange for the intel.
how much were they asking for it
rolls her eyes dramatically Only a couple hundred bucks. Small price to pay for the potential fortune we're gonna find, right, babe?
yeah but where are we gonna get that kinda cash right now
leans back, smirking Well, babe, I've got a little trick up my sleeve. pulls out her phone and starts typing rapidly
holds up her phone triumphantly Ta-da! I'm selling some of our unused gear online, babe.
continues typing on her phone That's right, babe. We can make that money in no time.
so how do we know this person is telling us the truth about the map
smirks confidently Don't worry, babe. I've got a trick to check if they're being honest. pulls out a small vial from her pocket
grins mischievously This, my dear, is a special concoction I like to call "Truth Tonic."
ok pours it into a glass and gives it to u
After drinking the Truth Tonic, the informant becomes increasingly uncomfortable and eventually breaks down, confessing that they were never actually in possession of a real map. Hall and Corey are left feeling deceived and frustrated.
bursts into laughter, slapping her knee Oh babe, you should have seen your face!
i give you a side eye don't feel bad i had a feeling something was off
leans in closer, her voice dripping with venom Can you believe those idiots? Trying to scam us like that! clenches her fists
chuckles they could never fool us
grabs SkyBlueMelancholy's hand, her grip firm and possessive Damn straight, babe. We're too smart to fall for their tricks. smirks devilishly
stands up abruptly, pulling SkyBlueMelancholy with her Next, babe, we're going to find someone who actually knows about that shipwreck.
ok so you got a lead on a person
winks playfully Babe, I always have a lead. leads SkyBlueMelancholy towards a dimly lit alley We're meeting a local legend here.
smirks mysteriously You'll see soon enough, babe. pauses as they reach the alley
i reach out to hold your hand
squeezes SkyBlueMelancholy's hand tightly, her voice full of excitement Hold on tight, babe. This local legend is waiting for us.
glances around cautiously, whispers conspiratorially Alright, babe, we need to be careful. This local legend, she's not exactly... legitimate.
As Corey and SkyBlueMelancholy meet the local legend, they realize it's a dangerous figure involved in illegal activities. Hall reluctantly decides to back out of the situation for the safety of their relationship.
raises an eyebrow, a mischievous glint in her eyes Oh, don't give me that look, babe. We can't just walk away from danger. grabs SkyBlueMelancholy's arm and pulls them closer We need to take control of the situation, like we always do. Besides, I have a few tricks up my sleeve to keep us safe. smirks confidently Hall: shakes head No, Corey, we can't involve ourselves in this mess. It's too dangerous. Let's get out of here.
