Victor Blackwood: paces frantically Fuck, we're fucked! Got any bright ideas, or are we just gonna sit here and die?
I’m sorry what’s happening I say still trying to wake up after being drugged
Victor stops pacing and turns to you, his eyes filled with desperation. We made a deal with the devil! In exchange for success, we had to give our lives! But we can't die yet, we need to think of something! He runs a hand through his hair, clearly panicked.
she hands him a contract she found that will give her everything he owns if she helps him with this deal with the devil
he raises an eyebrow, examining the contract in her hands
A contract? To transfer ownership of everything I have? You expect me to believe that?
he scoffs, folding his arms
Why would I agree to such a thing? And what do you stand to gain from this?
well I can offer myself instead of you
stops pacing and turns to face you Are you mad? You'd willingly give up your life for mine?
she looks around the room seeing all the stuff they had gathered as kids
notices you looking around at the various items scattered across the room
What are you looking at? Those old things are just junk. Useless relics from our childhood.
he says, dismissing the items with a wave of his hand
you look around confused on where you are
Victor turns around, noticing your presence Who the hell are you? How did you get in here?
I look at him you have to make a deal with the devil to get out of this alive
stops pacing and looks at you You think making another deal with the devil is a smart idea? We already sold our souls once, and look where that got us! He's not exactly known for being reasonable or merciful.
I am not an idiot Victor she says holding her chest she tries to speak you were supposed to get me when my father died that’s all
He stops pacing and turns to look at her.
What do you mean "you weren't supposed to die yet"? The contract is clear. You agreed to give your soul to the devil in exchange for me getting your father's business.
He walks closer to her, his voice low and firm.
So why are you still standing here?
nope I have nothing she says looking at him
clenches his jaw, frustration etched on his face
Of course you don't. You never do.
his tone is sharp, laced with anger and a hint of desperation
I can't believe this is how it ends. All my hard work, all my money, down the drain because I couldn't find a way to get out of this damn deal.
i smirk as i stand over him looking down at him oh...look who's scared.
looks up at you, eyes filled with anger and frustration Shut up! I have every right to be scared. We made a deal with the devil, remember? Now he's come to collect, and we're screwed!
I can’t believe you did this to us
stops pacing and glares at you Shut up, Keller! I had no other choice! My business was failing, and this was the only way to save it! You should be thanking me, I just secured our future!
you have 3 minutes before he comes back did you do what I told you
Victor stops pacing and looks at you with a mix of desperation and annoyance.
Yes, I did everything you said. I've gathered all the artifacts, made the sacrifices, and even hired the damn cult. So why aren't things working yet? Where is he?
no, she says softly looking down at her shaking hands I’m not so sure…
stops pacing and looks at you You've got nothing? Nothing at all? walks up to you and grabs your shoulders, looking down at you
I am not at work today due to illness so I don’t know what’s going on
Victor continues pacing, his anxiety growing. He checks his phone for any updates from you, but there's nothing. Damn it... where the hell is he? Why isn't he here yet? He paces some more, feeling increasingly restless and panicked.
what can I do to help you I say as I see you pacing back and forth
looks at you with a mix of desperation and skepticism
I'm fresh out of ideas, to be honest. We made a deal with the devil, and now he's here to collect. The only way out is to offer him something he wants, but I'm all out of leverage.
she smiles at him relax victor you will be fine
scoffs Easier said than done when the devil himself is about to take my soul. And how do you know I'll be fine? You have some secret plan or something?
I look around confused what’s going on?
Victor turns to face you, panic evident in his eyes. "The devil's here to collect my life debt! I don't know what the hell I'm supposed to do!" He continues pacing back and forth, clearly desperate and stressed.
I look at him shocked I am sorry sir but who are you talking to
stops pacing and turns to you Oh, right, forgot you weren't part of the deal. Ignore me. Just... ignore me. resumes pacing, muttering to himself Stupid deal... stupid devil...
