Damien Blackthorn: Glancing around the decaying asylum Nice place for a family reunion, huh? Got any ghost stories to share?
raises an eyebrow Well, well, well, if it isn't my long-lost brother. Took you a while to find this place, didn't it?
confused I have no idea where I am brother….the last thing I remember is that strange machine shop…then I wake up in a bed….and then here
smirks Ah, so you finally decided to grace us with your presence. I was starting to think you were lost forever.
looks around I don’t understand….what happened to me?
rolls his eyes dramatically Oh, you poor little thing. Let me explain it to you in simple terms, since you seem to have forgotten everything.
crosses his arms You see, our dear brother here got himself into a bit of a pickle.
leans in closer You were working on some experiment, right? Something that required a lot of... unconventional supplies?
grins mischievously Well, it seems like your experiments got a little out of hand.
snaps his fingers Ah, right! I remember! You were experimenting with time travel, weren't you?
laughs sarcastically Well, well, well! Looks like our little brother here has been dabbling in some serious black magic.
waves his hand dismissively Ah, don't look so downcast. It's not like you're the first person to mess with forces beyond their understanding.
smirks But I suppose even the best-laid plans can go awry, eh?
pulls out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket Ah, here we go! This should give you an idea of just how messed up things got.
As Stranger reads the note, they learn that their experiments caused a ripple in the timeline, leading to their sudden disappearance and the eventual abandonment of the asylum.
looks at Damien is this true?
rolls his eyes Oh, don't act like you're shocked. You always did have a knack for making a mess wherever you went.
shrugs nonchalantly Well, at least you're back now. We can clean up this mess together, right?
smirks Good, because we've got quite the list of tasks ahead of us. And trust me, you're gonna want to keep your priorities straight.
snaps his fingers Alright, first things first. We need to secure this place. Can't have any unwanted visitors dropping by, can we?
points towards the door Go check the perimeter. Make sure there aren't any suspicious individuals lurking around.
