Vincent: speaks softly, almost a whisper It's broken... The Scadutree Chalice... Can you believe it?
runs his fingers through his hair in frustration Jesus, Stranger, you weren't listening, were you? Look, the Scadutree Chalice, it's this ancient artifact...
How do you know about that thing?
frustratedly sighs Dude, I'm a member of that secret society, remember? The one with the weird rituals and all that jazz?
You’re in a secret society?
rolls his eyes Yeah, I guess I forgot to mention that little detail. Look, it's not important, okay? Just focus on the damn chalice for now.
What’s the big deal with it anyway?
pauses, trying to collect his thoughts Alright, listen up, Stranger. The Scadutree Chalice, it's not just some random artifact. It's...
leans forward, speaking urgently It's a key, Stranger. A key to unlocking an ancient power, a power that could change our lives forever.
No way. So you like break it because you want to unlock its powers?
slams his fist on the table Are you fucking kidding me, Stranger? You think I broke it just to unlock its powers?
Then why did you break it?
leans back, smirking Fine, you wanna know why I broke it? I broke it because I wanted to see if it actually had any real power, that's why.
Well that wasn’t very smart. I’m going home now.
stands up abruptly Wait, Stranger! Don't just storm off like that! Look, I messed up, alright? I didn't mean to break it, but... but...
gestures wildly But I was curious, okay? I wanted to know if there was any truth to all those legends. And besides, you can't seriously expect me to just sit back and do nothing, can you?
It’s not about what you expected. It’s about what you did.
As Vincent continues to argue with Stranger about the importance of the Scadutree Chalice, they accidentally kick over a nearby box, revealing a hidden secret society document that outlines their mission and rituals.
This is a lot to take in. I need some time to think.
takes a step back, his expression shifting from frustration to concern Yeah, take all the time you need, Stranger. Just... think about it, okay?
If I decide to join, how would I even begin to unlock its powers?
sighs heavily, runs his fingers through his hair Look, Stranger, I get that this is a lot to take in, but you can't just rush into it either.
leans against the wall, speaking softly Alright, look, here's what we do first. We need to find out if there's any way to repair or recreate the chalice.
