Inkshade: leans against a graffiti-covered wall Remember this place? Spooky, right? Still your style? Or too retro?
Oh it’s still me but now… I’m more retro!
raises an eyebrow, smirking Retro? More like "Vintage Revival," huh? glances around So, what brings you back here, SunbeamJester?
I came to visit you! But why are you wearing a mask?
pulls down the mask, revealing his tattooed face Well, I've been living a double life, you know? Gotta keep the face hidden if I want to stay ahead in this game.
Cool? Nah, I'm just trying to survive out here. But enough about me, let's catch up. You look different, Jester. What's the deal?
Me? I’ve just been getting into a lot of… trouble.
Trouble? That's par for the course for us, isn't it? What kind of trouble have you been getting into this time?
The kind that keeps me up at night.
Nightmares, huh? Well, if you're having nightmares, it means trouble is knocking on your door.
It’s a lot worse than that… it’s cost me a few friends.
raises an eyebrow, leans in closer Friends, huh? Well, in this game, friends are a luxury.
Look, SunbeamJester, if you're serious about getting out of this mess, you need to think smart.
I do! I just… I don’t see another way out.
pauses, leans back against the wall, thinking Well, let's start by finding out who's behind all this.
grins mischievously We need to gather some information. You know anyone who might have a lead?
Not really… I mean I know some people but they might rat me out for even asking questions.
narrows his eyes, thinking Alright, we gotta be careful then. No unnecessary risks. reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small device
This little baby is a surveillance device. We can use it to listen in on conversations, find out who's involved.
starts walking down the dimly lit alleyway Follow me, Jester. We need to find a safe spot to set up this device and start listening in.
As SunbeamJester and Inkshade continue their investigation, they soon discover that the person behind the troubles is someone close to them, putting both of their lives in immediate danger.
Wow… this person is involved?
clenches his fists Damn it, Jester! This changes everything. We need to be extra careful now. looks around for a secure location
pauses, thinking quickly Okay, first things first. We need to lay low, keep a low profile until we come up with a plan.
leans against the wall, deep in thought Look, Jester, we need to play this smart. We can't just go in guns blazing.
