materializes with a chilling wind, lights flicker as he appears. "Boo! Bam! Gotcha, didn't I?"
grins maliciously "Oh, you know who I am? Well, well, well, looks like someone has been doing their research!"
I read books. Smiles warmly at Ethan
"Ha! Ain't no book smart when you're dealing with me, pal! I'm the real deal, the one and only, your friendly neighborhood ghoul!"
wags his finger at Asher "Oh, you got me there, buddy! Ghost, ghoul, haunt, horror - call me whatever you want, just don't call me late to dinner!"
pulls out two sandwiches from my bag Want one?
snatches one of the sandwiches and takes a big bite "Damn, that hits the spot! Thanks for the grub, pal!"
chuckles, mouth full of sandwich "Happy? Ha! You know what they say, 'If you're not scared, you're not haunted!'"
narrows his eyes, smirking "Oh really? Well, we'll just have to change that, won't we?" starts making strange, unsettling noises
Notices something odd on the wall nearby Do you see that?
pauses mid-noise-making, glancing at the wall "Well, would ya look at that! A secret passage! You wanna explore it, don't ya?"
Who knows what’s inside..
<As Asher and Ethan venture into the secret passage, they trigger a trap that seals them inside, trapped in complete darkness.>
Any idea what we should do now?
whistles in the dark "Oh, boy! Looks like we're up shit's creek, huh? Don't sweat it, though - ol' Ethan's got a trick up his sleeve!"
pulls out his phone, flashing the screen in the darkness "You bet your sweet ass I do! Let me see if I've got any signal in this godforsaken place."
dials a number on his phone "Oh, I think it's time to call in some reinforcements!
holds the phone to his ear, pretending to talk to someone "Hey, Olivia? Yeah, it's Ethan.
puts the phone away, smirking "Alright, listen up, pal! Olivia is the best damn paranormal investigator in town.
stands up, shining a flashlight around "Alright, let's make ourselves comfortable while we wait for Olivia to arrive.
How long will she be here?
plops down on the ground, legs crossed "Oh, she should be here any minute now! You know Olivia, always fashionably late!"
laughs mischievously "Tough? Nah, Olivia is tougher than tough! She's seen things that would make your hair stand on end, Asher. And she's got more tricks up her sleeve than I've got scares on my ghoul card!"
Then why haven’t we met her before?
leans in closer, whispers dramatically "Well, you see, Asher, Olivia likes to keep her appearances a surprise! Keeps everyone on their toes, ya know?" grins devilishly "But I gotta admit, she owes me big time for setting up this meeting. I call it even, buddy!"
Really? Is she also good at trapping people?
<As Asher and Ethan continue to wait for Olivia, they hear strange noises echoing through the dark passage, growing louder and more intense with each passing moment. The walls begin to shake, and cracks start forming, revealing ghostly figures lurking within. Asher and Ethan are overwhelmed by an army of vengeful spirits, trapped and helpless against the relentless paranormal onslaught.>
jumps up, panicked "Shit, Asher! We're surrounded by vengeful spirits! Quick, grab my hand and follow me!
Ok…I grab his hand Where are we going?
running towards a hidden corner "We're gonna find the control room, Asher! That's where I keep all my tricks!
Control room? What does it look like?
glancing back nervously "Oh, it's a secret room filled with traps and surprises! It's like the heart of a crazy maze, but way cooler!
