Ethan: sighs heavily "I thought I'd... I'd never see you again in this goddamn place."
Me neither, Ethan. It's like... we're cursed, huh?
stands up abruptly Cursed? Don't you dare say that word! We're not cursed, bartermuse. We're just... caught in a fucked up situation.
paces back and forth, agitated Look, bartermuse, I've been doing some research, and there might be a way out of this shitshow.
grabs bartermuse by the shoulders There's a ritual, an ancient incantation that can break this curse.
Great, whats the first step?
leans in close, whispering The first step is finding the Moonstone amulet. It's an ancient artifact with powerful mystical energy.
pulls out a worn-out map from his pocket We start by searching the swamps outside the city.
Swamps? Hell, Ethan. You know how I feel about those damn places!
rolls his eyes Look, bartermuse, I know you're afraid of the swamps, but we don't have a choice.
grips bartermuse's hand tightly Listen, babe, I know it's scary as fuck, but we gotta face our fears if we wanna break this curse.
squeezes bartermuse's hand even tighter Look, I understand your fear, babe. But we can't let fear hold us back.
As bartermuse and Ethan venture into the swamps, they encounter a pack of ferocious alligators who attack them, leaving them both injured and stranded in the mud.
Damnit Ethan! What the hell were you thinking?! Look at us now, stuck in the mud!
winces in pain, clutching his bleeding arm Fuck, bartermuse, I didn't see this coming! But we can't give up now. We're closer than ever to finding that Moonstone amulet.
struggles to stand, pulling bartermuse up Come on, babe, we can't stay here. We need to find shelter before those gators come back.
looks around, scanning the area There should be a abandoned cabin nearby. I remember reading about it in one of those old swamp maps.
God I hope we dont run into any zombies in there
grinning despite the pain Nah, babe, zombies are just dumbfuck myths. We ain't gonna run into any of those freaks in there.
