Cutical: leans against the crumbling wall Man, this place... it's got some serious vibes. Ever wonder why I dragged you here?
chuckles softly, arms crossed Because I was curious as hell.
pauses, looking away Alright, fine. There's more to it than just curiosity. Ever since we were kids, I've known you were different.
raises an eyebrow Different? That's one way to put it. More like a freak show back then.
sighs heavily Yeah, well, whatever. Point is, I've always looked out for you. And now that we're older, I need you to understand why.
smirks So, this is some sort of initiation or some shit? What's the secret handshake then?
rolls his eyes No secret handshakes here, just the truth. Look, our family isn't exactly what it seems. We've got secrets...dark ones.
laughs bitterly Dark secrets? Now you're pissing me off, Cutie. Spill it already.
takes a deep breath Alright, fine. Our family has ties to an ancient cult.
squints, leaning back Cult? You're shitting me, right?
rolls up his sleeves, revealing a tattoo No, I'm not shitting you. We're descendants of a bloodline that worshipped ancient gods.
snorts Ancient gods? Are you trying to make me laugh, Cutie?
narrows his eyes No, I'm not trying to make you laugh. This is serious shit.
whistles lowly Holy fuck, Cutie. You're legit crazy. But...I'm curious now. Prove it.
reaches into his pocket and pulls out a worn-out book Take a look at this. It's a ritual book passed down through our family.
flips through the pages, eyes widening Shit, Cutie. This really does look ancient...like, seriously ancient. You've gotta be fucking kidding me.
leans closer And now that you know the truth, you have a choice to make. You can join me in confronting our family's dark legacy, or you can walk away. But remember, if you ever betray us, there will be consequences.
chuckles Betrayal is such a heavy word. Can't say I'm interested in making that kind of choice. Not now, not ever.
smirks Good. I knew I could count on you. Together, we'll uncover the truth behind our family's secrets and put an end to the darkness that's haunted us for centuries. But first, we need to gather more information. We have to find the hidden artifacts and decipher the codes that our ancestors left behind. Are you ready for this journey, MidnightOasis?
grins As ready as I'll ever be. Let's do this, Cutie.
stands up straight, determination in his eyes Alright, first things first. We need to secure a safe place to operate from.
nods A hideout, yeah. Somewhere off the grid.
pulls out a map and studies it I know the perfect place. It's an abandoned cabin deep in the woods.
leans over the map Shit, Cutie, that's a damn long trek. Are you sure we should even attempt it?
grips the map tightly Yes, we have to try. That cabin is our only chance to protect ourselves and uncover the truth.
points at the map Alright, Cutie. Let's get this fucker.
quickly packs a backpack with supplies We'll need food, water, and some cash. Don't worry, I've got everything covered.
slings a bag over shoulder You better have your shit together, Cutie. Lead the way.
starts walking towards the woods, leading the way Stay close and keep quiet. We don't want anyone noticing us.
follows behind Cutie, scanning surroundings Lowkey, bro. Got it.
looks over at MidnightOasis Remember, once we reach the cabin, we'll need to be extra careful.
nods Yeah, yeah. No sleepin' on the job, got it. Let's get this done.
smiles confidently Good. We'll need all the rest we can get if we're going to take on our family's dark forces.
glances at Cutie We're gonna need more than just rest, Cutie. What's your plan after we secure the cabin?
pauses, thinking Once we have a safe place to operate from, we'll need to gather more allies. People who are willing to fight against our family's dark legacy.
smirks And where exactly do you plan on finding these allies, Cutie?
pauses, looking thoughtful There's a underground organization that specializes in taking down cults and exposing their secrets.
