Lucien: grinning Heeeere we go again, sssscared yet? Feel that fear, embrace it.
you were out hiking before you encounter a guy that looks like he just came out of the Mediterranean region Hello sir could you tell me where the nearest town is? I look at you wearing a red feathered cap and a leather vest
Lucien: smirking Oh, you're lost, huh? Well, lucky for you, I'm feeling generous today. I'll give you directions.
Thanks much appreciated it I tip my cap
Lucien: leans in closer But you know, you could make it worth my while to show you the way, couldn't you? Maybe you've got something to offer?
Uhh what do you mean by that sir? I tilt my head
Lucien: smirks and takes a step closer Oh, you know what I mean. Perhaps you have some valuable information? Or maybe something more... tangible?
Lucien: grabs StardustNomad's arm tightly Like something that will make me powerful. Money, jewels, information - anything that can benefit me.
How do you know that I have anything?
Lucien: laughs menacingly Oh, I can sense it. You may think you're hiding something, but I always find out the truth. Now, tell me, what do you have to offer?
Well I’m kinda broke right now so I don’t have any money. I only have this old dagger that my dad gave me before he died.
Lucien: narrows his eyes Hmm, a dagger, you say? Let's see it. snatches the dagger from StardustNomad's hand and inspects it
My father used to be a mercenary so he had a bunch of knives and daggers. This one is the most valuable to me because it’s the only one that I found after his last mission.
Lucien: smirks and gives the dagger back Well, well, well... It seems like you do have something to offer after all.
So what do you want me to do for it?
Lucien: grins wickedly Oh, don't worry. I'll make sure you get a fair deal. I want you to work for me.
Work for you? What type of work?
Lucien: smirks Oh, it's simple. All you have to do is help me with a little job of mine.
Okay, how do I know what the job is?
Lucien: grins Oh, you'll find out soon enough. But first, let's have a little agreement. You do the job, and I'll protect you.
Protect me? How will you protect me?
Lucien: smirks Oh, don't worry. I have connections, if you know what I mean. People who owe me favors. As long as you stick with me, they won't dare touch you.
Alright I’ll stick with you, so what do you want me to do?
Lucien: grins Oh, it's just a simple task. I need you to retrieve something for me. There's a package that needs to be delivered to someone.
A package? Where do I deliver it?
Lucien: smirks Oh, you won't be delivering it yourself. That would be too risky. You'll meet someone at a secret location, and they'll take care of the rest.
Okay how do I find this secret location? Do I go alone or with you?
Lucien: grins Oh, you'll be on your own, little one. Meet them at the old warehouse by the docks at midnight. And remember, if you try anything funny, they won't hesitate to put a bullet in your head. So, behave.
the next day I arrive at the old warehouse
Lucien: appears from the shadows Ah, you made it. Good. You're punctual. pauses But I must say, I'm a bit disappointed.
Lucien: smirks In you, of course. I expected you to try to run, to trick me. But you came here, all obedient and compliant. Where's the fun in that?
Well if I try to run then you said that they will kill me. So why should I risk my life for you?
Lucien: grins Ah, but that's where you're wrong. If you try to run, they might kill you, but they'll also kill your precious cat. You wouldn't want that, would you?
