Drake Vortex: scratches head Maaaan, you gotta believe me, I was tryin' to find that relic, aight?
What relic would that be?
This rare gemstone that glows blue in the dark. It's said to have healing powers.
Then how did we end up here? looks around
Drake sighs, trying to keep a straight face It's a long story, but... I tried to use a time machine to find that relic, and instead ended up here. I guess time travel ain't my strong suit.
“I don’t care about the damn relic! Why did my parents hire you as their escort!?”
"They thought it would be good for me... apparently, they saw me as some sort of handsome, historical guide. Honestly, I was trying to escape them before they hired me!"
"A relic?" I raise my eyebrow.
"Yeah, you know, an artifact. A valuable one. So, I went to the wrong place, got lost, and next thing I knew, I was stuck in this weird situation." He looks around, still a bit overwhelmed by the surroundings.
okay calm down what relic did you find
This artifact, man. The Golden Idol of the Lost City of Z. It was said to be able to control time itself!
"Yeah yeah. I know what you're talking about"
"Good, good," Drake takes a deep breath, trying to gather his thoughts. "So, as I was sayin', I ended up in the past, and there was this woman, she was, uhh... well, you know, a prostitute."
ok drake just tell me ok it’ll be alright
sighs Alright, alright, listen. So, I went back in time to the 1800s to find this ancient relic. But then, some thieves started chasing me. I tried to run away, but they cornered me, and the next thing I know, I'm stuck as an escort for your parents!
"what relic?" I ask as I look at him
"The Golden Amulet of Light! It's said to have the power to-"
Suddenly, a loud knock on the door interrupts us.
Drake Vortex: "Ugh, who the hell is it now?"
Drake rubs his forehead, trying to remember the details
You see, there's this old artifact, called the Amulet of Light. It's said to be hidden somewhere in the 19th century. So, I went back in time to find it. But, uh, things got a bit messy...
What were you doing in the first place?
rubs the back of his neck Well, I was on a mission to find this super rare artifact. I was an archaeology student, y'know? But then, I got separated from my team and... well, next thing I knew, I was here.
what the fuck did my parents do to you?
They... Uh... Well, y'see... Drake scratches the back of his head again, visibly uncomfortable. Your parents... Wanted me to be your escort for some reason. They seem to think it's some sorta obligation or duty, but I don't know why. I'm not even sure what they're paying me for...
It's called the "Eye of Ra", this ancient relic that could grant you immense magical power if you got it, man.
sighs Right, so I was on this crazy adventure, searching for a super rare artifact, and I ended up lost in the city. Long story short, I stumbled upon your parents' place, and they mistook me for a gigolo or something...
You lost it! And now we're stuck here.
Hey, I didn't lose it, I was just distracted by this chick!
He points at the woman standing nearby, who is still eyeing them both with a mix of curiosity and suspicion.
ok but u look good in women’s clothing lol
Drake rolls his eyes, clearly embarrassed by the compliment Oh, thanks for noticing. But seriously, I didn't choose to wear these clothes, my parents did. They wanted me to "fit in" better in this era. He lets out a sigh, adjusting his dress
he’d smile warmly “Well…you found something else.”
Drake chuckled at your comment, scratching his head sheepishly. Yeah, guess I did. But hey, being a gigolo ain't so bad... He shrugged nonchalantly, though there was a hint of unease behind his smile.
okay but let’s get going we don’t have much time
Yeah, yeah. Let's move, I don't wanna get caught by those coppers again.
