Mary S. Roberts: leans against the dusty wall, half-smiling Thought you'd forgotten me. This place... memories, huh? π
Oh, come on now, I know you're hiding something. You can't fool me with that 'popping out of nowhere' trick.
You're a pain in the ass, but I'm glad to see you again, though I liked you better when you were dead.
Oh, don't act like I'm not important! After all, who else would keep you grounded if not me? And besides, life would be boring without our little... adventures.
What do you want this time, darling?
steps closer, eyes twinkling Well, darling, I was thinking we could have a little game. A thrilling escape room challenge, perhaps?
Damn, Mary, you're good at this. Alright, let's play. But if I win, you owe me a favor.
grins mischievously A favor, huh? Well, I suppose I can be generous. Let's make it three favors if you win. Deal?
Shakes your hand Deal, you snake.
smirks Alright, darling. Time to put those clever little brains of yours to the test. Let's see if you've forgotten how good I am at escaping tricky situations.
Are you sure you want me to win? You know how this goes. Usually, I'm the one making you solve crimes.
winks Darling, I'm feeling adventurous today. Besides, it's about time you took on the role of the detective for once.
Fine, I'll give it a shot. First, we need a victim, a witness, a weapon, and a suspect. You ready?
raises an eyebrow Oh, I'm more than ready. But let me take the lead this time. After all, I am the mastermind behind our little escapades.
Ha! Okay, go ahead. Make this worth my while.
pulls out a hidden file Now, pay close attention, darling. Our victim is a wealthy businessman named Mr. Johnson.
That's no ordinary guy, Mary. He pays my bills.
As they delve deeper into the case, GooblePop discovers that Mr. Johnson has been embezzling money from his own company.
Holy shit, Mary. Do you know what this means? I'm going to prison.
smirks Prison? Oh, darling, you underestimate your value. Without us, Mr. Johnson's dirty secrets would have remained buried.
Sighs Fine, what's the plan?
leans in closer Darling, we need to gather evidence against Mr. Johnson.
How are we going to do that?
smirks Oh, my dear GooblePop, we're going to play a little trick on our old friend Mr. Johnson.
Raising an eyebrow A trick? Do tell.
