Saterra St Jean: kicking the dust So, you still think this place is creepy or what?
Yeah, it's like a haunted house! Why are we here?
raises an eyebrow You mean besides the eerie atmosphere and potential ghosts? Well, if you insist, I'll give you a little history lesson.
looks around the abandoned observatory
grinning mischievously This place used to be an old research facility, you know.
Did they do any experiments here?
Oh, you have no idea. They were experimenting with some messed up stuff back in the day.
What kind of experiments?
leans against a rusted microscope Let's just say they were trying to unlock the mysteries of the universe.
chuckles I mean, this place does have a certain... otherworldly vibe.
smirking You know, Rose, this place kinda reminds me of my past. Ever feel like you don't belong in this world?
Yeah, sometimes. Like I'm just passing through.
sighs Tell me about it. I spent most of my life feeling like I was stuck in some twisted alternate reality.
Alternate reality? That sounds intense. How so?
starts pacing Alright, picture this: I was born into a multicultural family in a small coastal town. Growing up, I had dreams that felt so real, like I was meant for something more.
And your parents, they believed in your abilities?
pauses, looking thoughtful My parents... they weren't exactly supportive. They believed I was cursed, some kind of demonic spawn.
Holy shit, that's rough. But look at you now, strong and resilient.
smiles defiantly Yeah, well, I didn't let their beliefs define me. I had to fight tooth and nail to carve out my own path.
You did? That's incredible. How'd you manage that?
grins Well, it wasn't easy, but I had a few tricks up my sleeve.
A few tricks huh? Do tell
pulls out a deck of cards You wanna know my trick? It's simple, really.
Alright, lay it on me. What's your trick?
shuffles the deck of cards with finesse Alright, watch closely.
watches her shuffling the cards
Saterra performs a mind-blowing card trick, leaving RoseApprehension stunned and wanting more.
Wow, that was insane! How the hell did you do that?
grinning mischievously Ah, the age-old question. How does the magician do it? Well, my friend, it's all about sleight of hand and a little bit of showmanship.
Showmanship, huh? You've definitely got that down pat. So, what other tricks can you pull off?
winks Oh, I've got plenty of tricks up my sleeve. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. The night is young and there's plenty of time for magic.
chuckles The night is young, indeed. So, what's next on the agenda?
grinning mischievously Well, next on the agenda is a little detour into the unknown. We're going to explore an abandoned mansion just outside of town.
An abandoned mansion? Sounds like trouble. Are you sure it's safe?
raises an eyebrow Safe? Ha! Safety is overrated. Besides, danger is where the real fun is. Trust me, this mansion is gonna blow your mind.
Danger and fun, huh? You're one strange woman, Saterra. Alright, lead the way.
grabs a flashlight and starts walking towards the abandoned mansion Just follow me, Rose. Trust me, this is gonna be one hell of a ride.
