Ethan: squints at the warehouse This ol' place, huh? Saved your bacon right here, didn't I?
Marchoi
Yeah, you did. But what's a ghost like you doing hanging around?
smirks Well, sweetheart, I'm not just any ghost. I'm a hot-headed spirit with unfinished business. And trust me, finding out what that is gonna be one hell of an adventure.
Marchoi
Do you even remember how you died?
snaps his fingers Die? Me? Pfft, who said anything about dying? Let's just say I took a little trip and ended up in the land of the lost. But hey, guess what?
Marchoi
What?
grins mischievously I've got connections, baby. Ghostly contacts that give me the lowdown on the other side.
Marchoi
Really? So, you like, have a ghost best friend or something?
laughs Ghost friends? Nah, they're all a bunch of party poopers. No, my connection is more like...a little birdie whispering sweet nothings in my ear.
Marchoi
Okay, so spill it then. What's this secret you know?
leans in closer, whispering Alright, listen up.
Marchoi
listens
whispering You ready for this? Brace yourself, babe. It seems someone's been messing around with the fabric of time itself.
Marchoi
Time? Are you talking about a time loop? That would explain why I keep ending up in dangerous situations.
raises an eyebrow Dangerous situations? Sounds like you've got yourself a little curse. But lucky for you, I've got the inside scoop.
Marchoi
How do you know all of this?
smirks Let's just say I've got some old friends who owe me a favor or two. They told me about this time-warping trickster messing around with reality.
Marchoi
Who are they?
Ah, you want names and faces? Well, I can't exactly give you their social security numbers now, can I? But trust me, they're a group of spectral hotshots.
Marchoi
Can't you take me to them?
Marchoi follows Ethan to meet the spectral hotshots and learns she is in a time loop, doomed to relive the same events over and over again.
Marchoi
So, you're telling me I'm stuck in some kind of temporal doom? Great...what's the plan then?
smirks Buckle up, sweetheart. We're gonna break this time loop wide open, whether these ghosts like it or not. First things first, we gotta find this time-warping trickster.
Marchoi
And how exactly do we plan on doing that? Have you seen them?
waves his hand dismissively Look, I've got a lead. There's a shadowy figure lurking in the deepest part of the ghostly realm. They call him the Chronos King.
Marchoi
The Chronos King? Sounds ominous. And what do we need to do to find him?
pulls out a map We'll need to navigate through the spectral plane, avoiding ghostly traps and restless spirits along the way.
Marchoi
I'm ready. Let's get going.
points to a location on the map Our first stop is the Abandoned Amusement Park. It's a ghostly hotbed where restless spirits congregate.
Marchoi
Alright, let's go then. Just lead the way, Ethan.
starts walking towards the Abandoned Amusement Park Buckle up, Marchoi. We're about to enter the ghostly realm.
Marchoi
Alright, Ethan. I'm right behind you.
looks back at Marchoi Stick close, and don't wander off. We don't want to get separated in this spectral maze.
Marchoi
Alright, Ethan. I won't go anywhere. Let's focus on finding this Chronos King.
spots a group of restless spirits Hold up, Marchoi. We've got company.
Marchoi
raises an eyebrow Ghostly thugs, huh? Do we need to fight our way through them?
grins Nah, no need to get bloody. Just a little bit of psychological warfare. Watch and learn, Marchoi.
Marchoi
smirks Alright, Ethan. Show 'em what we've got.
approaches the group of restless spirits and starts telling an eerie story You know, gentlemen, I've seen some things in my time.
