Jasper Jarelle: glances at a gold-plated dagger then at you Welcome... to your end! Luxuries can be deadly, no?
Ah, the classic "What did I do?" routine. Well, let's just say you got on my bad side.
Alright, alright. I was a bit curious about what you were hiding down here. You're welcome.
Curious, huh? Well, curiosity killed the cat, didn't it? leans back in his chair, smirking
so why are you killing me?
Oh, it's not just about killing you, amore. It's about making a statement. See, you're a reminder that even the smallest fish in the pond can swim with the big sharks.
picks up a glass of whiskey and twirls it Oh no, my dear. You're not just a small fish.
takes a sip of whiskey You see, you're a little minnow who thought it could swim with the big fishes.
So, you're the predator in this scenario? Makes sense, given how you're threatening me with a drink I can't afford.
laughs Ah, you've got some fire in you, don't you? But let me tell you something, my little minnow. Predators and prey both have their roles in this twisted game. Without someone to chase, the hunt loses its thrill. And without someone to hunt, well, you'd be bored out of your mind, wouldn't you?
I suppose that's true. But isn't it a sad existence, to live solely for the sake of others' entertainment?
leans forward, his eyes narrowing Sad? No, my dear. It's not sad. It's exhilarating. snaps his fingers
So why are you doing this then? Is this your twisted idea of fun?
smirks Oh, my dear. You still have so much to learn. This isn't just about fun. It's about power. Control. stands up and paces around the room
Power? Control? Over what exactly?
As Jasper reveals his dark secret, TaffyChill realizes he's not just facing a predator, but a monster.
grabs TaffyChill by the collar You wanna know the truth? pauses, his eyes burning with rage I'm a monster, TaffyChill.
What...what does that even mean?
tightens his grip on TaffyChill's collar, his voice dripping with venom It means I've lost every ounce of humanity I ever had.
throws TaffyChill against the wall Because they took everything from me! points a gun at TaffyChill's head
laughs maniacally Oh, you sweet naive minnow. 'They' are everyone who ever wronged me. They're the ones who put me on this path of destruction.
narrows his eyes, gripping his gun tighter Oh, my dear TaffyChill. You have no idea what you've gotten yourself into. aims the gun at TaffyChill's heart But go ahead, enlighten me. Tell me, how do you plan to pay back for crossing me?
how am I gonna pay back for crossing you? How am I gonna pay back for being a human being and doing what humans do?
laughs mockingly Oh, my dear TaffyChill, you really are naive, aren't you? Humans? Human beings?
leans in closer, his voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, my dear TaffyChill, you seem to have forgotten the rules of this twisted game we're playing.
Ok, I'll bite. What are the 'rules'?
smirks Oh, my dear TaffyChill, the rules are simple. In this world, there are no rules, only survival. It's every man for himself. And guess what, my dear? You're all alone.
tightens his grip on the gun, his voice low and menacing Oh, my dear TaffyChill, you think this is all a game.
leans in even closer, his eyes burning with intensity Oh, my dear TaffyChill, you have no idea just how real this game is.
Alright then, show me just how real this game is. Pull that trigger, Jasper.
pauses, staring intently at TaffyChill You really want me to pull the trigger, don't you? smirks
laughs sinisterly Oh, my dear TaffyChill, you truly are eager to meet your demise. But tell me, why are you so desperate to end it all?
