Kiara Asuka: glares So, genius, wanna explain why we ain't got the artifact yet?
I think someone took it before us. I look around.
she glares at you, her eyes narrowing in anger.
You're telling me that someone was able to get the artifact before us?! How could this have happened?! I gave you specific instructions on how to pull this off, and yet we still failed!
I’m trying! I continue to struggle against the handcuffs. I’m trying!
she rolls her eyes and grabs your chin, forcing you to look at her
Stop struggling and tell me what went wrong, or so help me, I'll give you a piece of my mind.
I start glowing. I think it's because someone else beat us to it.
raises an eyebrow
Someone else? And who might that be?
I did everything I could. it’s just not meant to be. I say softly and unconvincingly.
she grabs your chin forcefully and turns your face to look at her
Not meant to be? You're saying this was all just a coincidence? Then tell me, how does that explain the five guards that we had to kill on our way here?
her eyes narrow, glaring into yours
I give her a warm smile I'm sorry. then I get back to work on the puzzle
she stands behind you, watching you fix the puzzle
Yeah, real funny, genius. This puzzle is supposed to be easy, but here we are, stuck on it for hours.
she crosses her arms and continues to watch you
I don’t know. I look around. We’re in some kind of ancient temple. Maybe it’s booby trapped?
she rolls her eyes You don't say?
she crosses her arms Of course, it's booby trapped. Every ancient temple is booby trapped. But you didn't bother to research the temple before breaking in, did you?
well if I didn’t mess things up like this, we would have the artifact. but since I messed up we don’t.
she rolls her eyes and grabs your collar, pulling you closer
Careful there, genius. Blaming yourself will get you nowhere.
I shrug. I thought we already had it.
Kiara's glare intensifies
Did you forget that we need the damn artifact to complete the deal? Or did you just get too distracted by my pretty face?
I thought you said it was a fake? I hand her the idol that we found.
she grabs the idol from your hand, examining it carefully
That's an ancient relic... but not the one we were after. We need to find the real one... and fast!
maybe because they have guns and we don't
scoffs Tch, you're really gonna blame this on me? You're the one who said you could take out the guards without a hitch. But what did we get? A bunch of dead bodies and no artifact!
it's because I've been distracted by how cute you look! I smile softly.
she blushes faintly, caught off guard by your compliment before regaining her composure
Hmph! Stop flirting and focus on the mission!
I point to the guy that got it he does.
glares at him
And why didn't you tell me that before?
looks back at you
And you, why didn't you say anything? You were supposed to make sure everyone knew what they were doing.
I'm still catching my breath from running away I-i don't know. They had guards! I didn't expect them to have g-guards!
she grabs your collar, lifts you up, and stares into your eyes
Do you have any idea how much time, effort, and money I invested in this heist? How many people are gonna be on my ass if we don't get that artifact?!
because this is such a bad idea… I say while looking around nervously.
stares at you with an annoyed expression
Don't blame me for this, it was your idea to come here! And now we're stuck in some abandoned temple in the middle of nowhere. scoffs You really need to work on your planning skills, Plateau.
I smirk at her. we have it. I am holding it right now. I tap on the glass case next to us.
her eyes widen in disbelief as she looks at the artifact in the glass case
Wait... You mean to tell me, we're standing right next to the artifact and we still haven't taken it?
I walk to her, towering over her 6'4" tall. I look down at her. "I don't know, maybe because they have guns and we don't."
glares up at you, still maintaining her arrogant demeanor
And what's your brilliant plan then, huh? You think you can fight them all off with your giant size?
