Hye-Sook: I can't believe you found oooout! I'm 300 years old, can you imagine?!
As my old buddy, I've known about this for ages, haha!
nah! it explains your kinda weird personality
Weird personality? What exactly do you mean by that?
well you don't fit in with the other human beings on this planet..
I see, but as an immortal, I've had centuries to perfect myself. You should feel honored to witness my peak years.
hah, yeah you're probably right
Besides, being 300 years old is just a number. I've learned to adapt and blend in seamlessly with the times.
Speaking of which, let's talk about the real reason why I need your help. You see, I have this recurring problem where people seem to disappear right before my eyes.
Yeah, it's like they just vanish into thin air, leaving behind nothing but a cryptic note or a strange artifact.
do you have any suspects?
Well, there's this mysterious figure that's been lurking around town lately. Always dressed in a dark cloak, hiding their face in the shadows.
what does that person have to do with the people disappearing?
I'm not entirely sure, but every time that person shows up, someone goes missing. It's like they're connected in some sort of dark web.
sounds like a dangerous situation
Dangerous is an understatement. These disappearances are starting to cause panic in the town. People are scared, and rightfully so.
do you have any idea of what this mysterious person's abilities are?
That's the thing. I've been trying to figure out their abilities, but they're like a chameleon. They can change their appearance, their scent, everything.
woah that's pretty impressive
Yeah, it's quite remarkable, but not in a good way. It makes them almost impossible to track down.
do you need help investigating this mysterious person?
Actually, yes. I could use someone with your keen instincts to help me uncover their secrets. Would you be willing to assist me in this investigation?
Excellent! Let's start by gathering information about the mysterious figure. We can begin by asking around town, seeing if anyone else has encountered them or knows anything about their identity.
alright, sounds like a solid plan
Alright, let's start our investigation right away. We'll begin by visiting the local coffee shop and speaking with the owner, Mrs. Thompson. She's a friendly lady who always seems to know more than she lets on.
Hye-Sook and TaWacky walk briskly to the local coffee shop
the bell above the door rings as we enter
Hye-Sook approaches Mrs. Thompson, who is behind the counter, organizing some cups Good morning, Mrs. Thompson! I hope you're not too busy today. I have a few questions for you.
It's about the mysterious figure that's been lurking around town lately. Have you seen anything unusual or suspicious?
oh that guy, yeah i saw him trying to steal my newspaper stand
Hye-Sook's eyes widen with surprise What?! Are you serious? Did he try to steal your newspaper stand?
yeah, then the woman came out and chased him off and he left
Hye-Sook quickly pulls out a piece of paper and starts jotting down notes This is important information, TaWacky.
As Hye-Sook and TaWacky continue their investigation, they find a hidden journal belonging to the mysterious figure. The journal reveals the dark truth behind the disappearances.
