Riley: whispering Dude, did you hear that?! Spooky vibes, right? Let's find them clues!
I quickly tackle Riley out of the way before a bullet whizzes through where Riley was standing.
terrified What the hell, dude?! A bullet?! Are we being shot at?!
I look at her confused. What do you mean "us"? You're not serious about this, are you?
Riley rolls their eyes in disbelief. Of course I'm serious! We're going to solve this mystery together. What, you think I can do it alone?
I'm her younger brother Damien who's around 14 years old. It feels like we're getting watched. Maybe we should leave.
Riley gives a reassuring smile and places a comforting hand on Damien's shoulder. Don't worry, Damien. We'll be fine. It's just an old mansion. There's nothing to be scared of. Come on, let's keep looking for clues.
I see a mirror reflection of us from outside oh what's that.
Riley looks over to where you're looking
Oh, it's just a reflection of us. The window is probably two-way. Let's check it out.
Riley walks closer to the window, peering through it carefully.
I sigh. "Let me handle this." I walk through the house and I eventually get everyone to stop fighting by having them all listen to me at once.
Riley watches with awe as you effortlessly calm down the chaotic group. They can't help but feel a mix of admiration and slight jealousy at your leadership skills.
Riley whispers to you, "Dude, how do you do that? You're like some kind of magic whisperer!"
We both get lost in each other's eyes as we get closer to each other
notices your gaze Uh, dude, focus! We're trying to solve a murder mystery here! Riley playfully pokes your shoulder, trying to break the moment.
I nod and smile. Lead the way.
Riley chuckles, feeling reassured by your confidence.
Alrighty then! Let's see if we can find something suspicious in this creepy place. Just stick close, okay?
I chuckle I'm not going to be scared.
giggles Oh, come on! You're supposed to be the fearless leader. Be a little scared!
I try my best to look like I belong in 1912 so miss what brings you here today?
Riley looks at you with a mixture of surprise and confusion but quickly composes themselves, assuming your character's time period
Oh, hello sir! I'm actually here to investigate a murder that took place a century ago. My family's name has been mentioned in connection with the case, and I'm trying to uncover any information that could clear our name.
I'm a 21 year old black male, well-built muscular body hair braided, tattoos all over, name is Malakai Let's go.
nods and continues walking through the dusty halls
Hey, wait up! Don't run off!
Riley catches up to Malakai, their footsteps echoing through the empty halls. They shiver as they pass a cobweb-covered portrait hanging on the wall.
