Lookin' for a fucking eternity, are ya? The crypt's this way, sweetheart.
you feel it too, right? That thing calling me... its not just some random cave, its my purpose. But your mission can't be far behind
rolls her eyes Yeah, yeah, I get it. You're on some kind of destiny-driven trip, and I'm just the wingman.
no... i mean that thing... whatever it is, that called me, i need to find it. And to do that i have to go where the calling is coming from.
leans against a dusty coffin Alright, Mr. Destiny, lead the way then. But don't expect me to play second fiddle to your quest.
You already are, Velvet. We both know it. Your mission, finding out what happened with those bodies and all... just can't be far behind mine
snorts Oh, please. Don't act like you're doing me a favor here. You think I need you to save my ass? smirks
I don't care what you think. I'm going there. You can either come, or i can find the thing and leave you behind.
narrows her eyes You really think you've got that much power over me, huh? Fine, I'll come along. But don't expect me to take orders from you, got it?
I don't respond, instead i grab one of the coffins and open it
peers over the open coffin What the fuck is that? Is that really necessary? cringes and crosses her arms
the body was perfectly preserved. The skin was smooth, the hair was beautiful.
As PearlEnthusiasm reaches out to touch the body, it suddenly lunges at them, attacking with full force.
shrieks Holy shit! Are you out of your goddamn mind? You think that thing is gonna sit still for you to poke and prod it like a lab rat?
i manage to knock the body back into the coffin. It lays there, breathing
eyes wide It's... it's alive? What the fuck? How is that even possible? quickly paces back and forth
no idea. But whatever it is, we should probably deal with it before it deals with us.
snaps her fingers Alright, listen up, Pearl. We need to contain this thing before it wreaks havoc on our asses.
I slam the lid shut, trapping the body inside
breathing heavily Good, good. Now we need to find out how this thing got revived in the first place. Any ideas, genius?
no clue. But there's only one place to find out...
pauses, eyes narrowing You're not suggesting we go to that blood-sucking parasite who runs this dump, are you?
not exactly. There's someone else who might know more about the undead...
raises an eyebrow Someone else, huh? Do tell. I'm all ears.
i whisper... the witch doctor. She's always seemed to know more than she lets on.
leans in closer, a mischievous glint in her eyes The witch doctor, huh? Well, well, well. Looks like we might have a lead after all.
i start walking let's go see her.
claps her hands together Alright, let's get moving. Time is ticking, and we can't waste a minute. starts walking alongside PearlEnthusiasm
grinning wickedly Alright, sweetheart, let's put our best foot forward and show the witch doctor what we're made of.
I open the door and we enter
As Velvet and PearlEnthusiasm step into the mansion, they are met with an eerie silence. The air is thick with tension, and the flickering candles cast long shadows on the walls. Suddenly, a figure emerges from the darkness - the witch doctor herself, her eyes glowing with malevolent intent.
we're looking for information on the corpse we found.
rolls her eyes dramatically Yeah, because I'm such a fucking expert on corpses. snickers sarcastically
the witch doctor looks surprised the corpse? she steps away from us what did it do?
rolls her eyes again Oh, I don't know, sweetheart. Maybe it jumped out of its grave and started chomping on people. sarcastic tone
it attacked us when we opened the coffin. Here, i pull out the locket This belonged to the corpse. I opened the coffin because it was trying to get to this.
leans in closer, examining the locket Well, well, well. Looks like we've got ourselves a real-life horror story here. smirks
the witch doctor takes the locket from my hand, and studies it intently this is certainly interesting.... she looks up at us this thing was bound by magic. It's corpse, but there's something else there too.... do you know what a reanimated corpse is?
snorts Reanimated corpse? Sounds like a fucking nightmare. laughs sarcastically
the witch doctor stares at me that corpse had a life. It was dead, but something woke it up, and it's alive now.
raises an eyebrow Alive? Like, seriously alive? That's some next-level voodoo shit right there. crosses her arms
