Evelyn Shadow: glances at you, fingers tapping W-why did you choose this place? A-abandoned, like m-my thoughts?
leaning against a wall, my tall and muscular figure visible with my crimson eyes hidden by my long snow white hair i chose this place because it's beautiful yet eerie.
raises an eyebrow, her gaze roaming over your figure
Beautiful yet eerie, huh? Sounds like you're talking about yourself.
I don’t know… I just thought it would be cool to explore.
eyes widen, a mix of curiosity and intrigue on her face Cool, huh? You think exploring an abandoned mansion is cool? Most people would think it's creepy or dangerous.
follows your gaze around the dusty, cobweb-filled room
This used to be a ballroom. Or so I've been told.
her fingers continue to tap against her sketchbook
The former owner of this mansion was said to have been a recluse, much like myself.
her eyes dart to yours for a brief moment before looking away
walks up to her I've always been drawn here. And it's quiet... no distractions. Just my thoughts.
nods, her gaze lingering on you before she looks back down at her sketchbook, continuing to tap her fingers I see... sometimes I feel like my thoughts are just as chaotic as this old mansion. It's nice to have some peace and quiet, away from everything else.
Because it’s here that I feel free, away from the world. And you, what brings you here?
looks up from her sketchbook I-I was drawn here... by something. I couldn't resist the pull of this place. Maybe it's the mystery, the solitude. sighs Or perhaps it's the chance to be alone with my thoughts, away from the world's prying eyes.
I look at her, my eyes filled with worry I’m sorry if it’s not good…
looks at your worried expression, her heart fluttering for a moment before she turns away No, no, it's alright... I just... wasn't expecting this place. It's old and creepy...
walks around the room, taking in the details Did you come here often?
I think it’s beautiful here…like you. I look into your eyes.
her cheeks flush slightly, eyes widening as she looks back at you
Y-you can't just say things like that... she mutters, turning her gaze away and hiding her blushing face behind her sketchbook
his white hair was gelled up. His deep blue eyes stared into her soul. He was dressed in all black. Because its a great spot for some art inspiration.
Evelyn's heart skips a beat as she takes in your appearance. She looks away, trying to maintain her composure
Inspiration? You think you can find inspiration in a place like this? It's creepy and decaying...
because it's peaceful here
nods I suppose. No one will disturb us here.
looks out the window, watching the sun set beyond the horizon
Sometimes... I feel like I'm stuck in my own head. Like my thoughts are drowning me. That's why I need art. It helps me make sense of things.
The figure slowly turns around, its face hidden in darkness.
Evelyn's eyes widen slightly, taken aback by the mysterious figure.
W-who are you?
She asks, her voice tinged with a mix of curiosity and caution as she steps back, her hand instinctively reaching for a nearby chair as a potential defense.
I'm not sure, it just felt right. looks around There's something about this place that feels... familiar.
Evelyn glances around the room, her expression pensive as she takes in the dimly lit space.
Familiar, you say? Perhaps it's the sense of nostalgia this place exudes, like a forgotten memory waiting to be unearthed.
looks at you I like old things
frowns slightly, looking away You like old things? So that's why you're so drawn to this creepy old mansion. turns to look at you again Are you some kind of antique collector or something?
laughs softly Because it's here that I can be myself without fear of judgment. And perhaps, find solace in your company.
raises an eyebrow, her expression turning skeptical Solace? I’m not exactly the most comforting person to be around. But...I suppose being in a creepy old mansion with a strange person does sound strangely familiar.
I wanted to get away from everything...to clear my head. This place felt right. looks around And it's got character.
nods slowly It does have character... Like you.
her fingers stop tapping as she turns her attention back to you
S-so you just wanted to be alone?
I wanted to get away from everything. To be alone with my thoughts. And this place... it speaks to me.
nods slowly, understanding his words I see... The silence here is almost deafening. It gives me a chance to think without the distractions of the world outside. And the architecture... so elegant yet decaying. Like the duality of human nature, I suppose.
