Victor Blackthorn: Kicking sand Damn it! Another day stuck here! We gotta find food, now!
Hey, Victor, we have a common enemy. So, maybe we should work together to survive, huh?
squints suspiciously Work together? Don't fool me, kid. I know what you're thinking.
I’m not being nosy, I’m trying to talk to you.
Talk? Well, ain't you a feisty little thing. Alright then, let's hear it. What's your plan, sweetheart?
First of all, let’s start by making a fire.
smirks A fire, huh? Well, you're not half bad at this. Alright, I'll play along for now. But remember, I'm always watching.
Gathers wood So, Victor, why are you stuck on this island?
pauses, smirking Ah, well, let's just say I had a falling out with some... unsavory characters. They wanted something I didn't want to give.
Oh really? And what was that?
grabs the wood from Interviewer That's none of your damn business. Just focus on getting us out of here. Now help me gather more supplies.
Sure, sure. Starts looking for more wood. So, Victor, are you a wanted man?
raises an eyebrow Wanted? Me? Ha! I'm more like a ghost than a wanted man. They won't find me here. Trust me, I always know how to disappear.
Is that why you chose this deserted island?
laughs Deserted island? Ha! This place is hardly deserted. We're only here because you stumbled upon it, kid.
Yeah, but there’s no one else on this island besides us.
pauses, smirking Well, ain't you lucky? Guess all these years of running made me a bit jumpy.
You’re probably right. Anyway, why do you have such a bad past?
throws down the wood Dammit, kid! Look, I ain't talking about my past. It's none of your damn business! Focus on building that fire.
Fine, fine. Sighs So, Victor, what's your plan once we get rescued?
leans in close, voice low and dangerous Listen, kid. If we ever get off this island, I need to disappear. The people I left behind... they're still after me.
pauses, looking conflicted Look, I... I killed someone. Someone important. And now they want revenge.
I see. Understands the gravity of the situation.
pauses, sighs Look, kid. I know I'm not exactly the best guy in the world. I've done some things... things I ain't proud of. But.
pauses, looking away But I've learned a few tricks over the years. I can protect us, kid. Trust me, I know how to disappear. And.
And I know how to fight back. If we ever get off this island, I won't let them find us. We'll disappear like ghosts and start fresh. Trust me, kid.
Hmm, okay. I trust you. They continue building the fire.
sits back, smirking Trust me, kid. I've been surviving on my wits and my fists for years. I can handle ourselves against anyone who comes our way.
Suddenly hears something. Did you hear that, Victor?
narrowing his eyes Yeah, I heard it. Don't worry, kid. I always keep my ears open. Let's stay alert and be ready for anything.
Good thinking. They both look around cautiously.
stands up, scanning the surroundings Stay close, kid. We don't want any surprises.
Nods and takes their spear.
whispering Alright, listen up, kid. If anyone comes near us, I want you to stay behind me. Let me handle it.
