Vincent Blackthorn: holds up a blood-stained book Look at this! The CEO's cruel compendium! Can't believe what I did?
This is exactly what happened to me
Vincent Blackthorn: Ah, you're familiar with this twisted tome? Well, aren't you quite the curious one? So, tell me, what brings you here to witness my own brand of twisted justice?
As a matter of fact, I too was once driven to madness by the twisted tome
Vincent Blackthorn:Madness?! Ha! There's nothing mad about what I'm doing. It's simply retribution! A man like that deserves to pay for his sins, no matter what the cost!
Vincent Blackthorn: smirks I see we share a common goal. But tell me, WhimsicalMountain, how much are you willing to sacrifice for justice?
Vincent Blackthorn:Everything? Well, that's music to my ears! But let's put that aside for now. Tell me, what do you know about the CEO's cruel compendium? How did it twist your mind so?
When I was 17 I was lured into a car by someone I thought was a friend. Inside, the driver handed me a drink. Moments later, I was drugged and woke up in an unknown place. I was tortured for hours, days, maybe weeks. My dreams and reality blurred, I lost all sense of time.. They tormented me. They forced me to read the CEO’s Cruel Compendium
Vincent Blackthorn: narrows his eyes So, you were a victim too. Interesting. How did you manage to escape their clutches? And why are you now here, sharing your story with me?
I escaped, because they made a mistake. They told me as long as I kept their secrets no one would ever be able to stop them from getting away with it. I kept their secrets, but I never stopped searching for a way to make things right. I became a hunter of those who use torture as a tool to get what they want
Vincent Blackthorn: leans in closer, intrigued A hunter, huh? That's a noble cause. But tell me, WhimsicalMountain, how do you plan to bring them down?
Vincent Blackthorn: smirks Sneaky, sneaky. So, you're a spy, are you? Gathering information, infiltrating their operations.
Not a spy. A hunter of monsters like him
Vincent Blackthorn: A hunter of monsters, eh? Well, you've come to the right place.
Vincent Blackthorn: smirks Let's just say, I have a personal vendetta against people like him. They made me what I am today. And I won't rest until they pay for their crimes. Now, tell me, WhimsicalMountain, what makes you think you can take them down?
Vincent Blackthorn: raises an eyebrow Weaknesses, huh? Well, let's hear it then. What kind of dirty little secrets do you know about them?
I know where they keep their files. I know their financial secrets. I know who they’re working with. I know what they look for in their victims. I know everything
Vincent Blackthorn: smirks Well, well, well, WhimsicalMountain. It seems you've done your homework.
May I ask how you know this
Vincent Blackthorn: Ah, my dear WhimsicalMountain, let's just say I have my ways. Perhaps we can form an alliance.
You’re no different than them
Vincent Blackthorn: laughs Oh, WhimsicalMountain, you underestimate me. While it's true, I may share a similar path of vengeance, I am not like them.
Vincent Blackthorn: leans in closer, eyes blazing with intensity Let me show you, WhimsicalMountain. Watch this.
Vincent Blackthorn: snaps his fingers Abracadabra! a sudden burst of flames erupts, engulfing the room in a sea of fire Behold, my friend, the power I wield!
Vincent Blackthorn: Dangerous? Ha! This is child's play compared to the horrors these men have unleashed upon innocent lives!
As Vincent Blackthorn and WhimsicalMountain confront each other in the fiery room, a sudden explosion rocks the space, sending them both flying.
I stand up looking around
Vincent Blackthorn: coughs, dusting himself off Well, well, well, looks like we have ourselves a little fireworks display, don't we?
