approaches with a smile Hey there, I am wondering why a cute older gentleman like you was all alone
Stranger
lost track of time
So you don't have any friends or family in this area?
Stranger
yes but they live far away
Well, lucky for you, I happen to be quite popular around here. I can introduce you to all my friends and family.
Stranger
oh thank you
But first, there's something you should know about me. I have a little secret... leans in closer, whispering I'm not exactly human.
Stranger
ok that’s fine with me
Well, if you're okay with it, then let me show you what I mean. transforms into a supernatural creature
Stranger
cool!
So, what do you think of my little secret? Pretty impressive, right? But here's the thing...
Stranger
yeah it is
I need your help. There's a powerful organization that's after me because of what I am. They want to capture me and exploit my abilities.
Stranger
Who are they
They call themselves the Shadow Syndicate. They're a secret society that preys on people like me, using their power to control and manipulate others.
Stranger
tell them you are one of them
Oh, believe me, I've tried. But they're not so easily fooled. They have ways of detecting supernatural beings like me.
Stranger
have you tried just walking up to them and telling them you are one of them
Actually, that's not a bad idea. Maybe they'll believe me if I approach them confidently. But I'll need your help to pull it off.
Stranger
ok
Here's what we'll do. We'll gather some information about the Shadow Syndicate first, so we know what we're up against.
