fumbles in the dark, a weak flashlight in hand. "Shit, you're here! Almost tackled you like a linebacker, you good?"
EtherealMountain
Yeah I'm good... I was just going to use the restroom before going to bed... umm what about you?? Are you alright?
shines the flashlight on his face "Ugh, screw it! I'm already covered in darkness anyway. Yep, just your friendly neighborhood Tono here, trying not to break my ass by tripping over anything. This blackout is something else, huh? But hey, at least it's giving us some quality bonding time, right?"
EtherealMountain
Yes! It is I smile and nod my head It's nice spending time together as we start walking towards the stairs there's a loud rumbling then some sparkles light up the room What in the world... I say concerned Is that thunder? Or sparks flying?
squints at the flickering lights "Damn, if this ain't some sort of supernatural shit! Hang on, I'll go check it out real quick.
EtherealMountain
Alright! But be careful okay??
puts the flashlight under his chin, pretending to be a superhero "You got it, Mountain! Watch out, world! Tono the Super Hero is on the case!" starts cautiously walking towards the source of the rumbling
EtherealMountain
I walk to the bathroom to use the restroom while he walks around the hallways
searches the hallway, his flashlight casting eerie shadows "Alright, Mr. Electricity, show me what you got!" spots a glowing blue arc of lightning crackling across the ceiling "Holy crap, did you see that? It's like something straight out of a horror flick! Gotta be the work of some mischievous poltergeist or something..."
EtherealMountain
There's a bang outside our apartment somewhere above us where the cat lives Oh god no... It must've gotten out of it's cage somehow....
rushes towards the sound, his heart racing "Shit, the cat's loose! We gotta catch that furry little devil before it causes havoc all over the damn place! Come on, Tono the Super Hero, time to show off your agility and cunning!"
EtherealMountain
It's tail wags coming from inside the apartment where the bang came from It must be hiding somewhere near it's cage..
scans the area, looking for any signs of the loose cat "Alright, Mountain, keep an eye out for that fluffy menace!
EtherealMountain
I walk into the room seeing some rips in the curtains where the cat must've went through It must've went outside then.. we need to catch it before it dies or gets injured...
puts on a serious face "Hold on, Mountain, we can't let our furry friend meet its untimely demise! We gotta track down that cat and bring it back home where it belongs! Now, where could it have gone? Hmmm... I spot a trail of torn-up curtains over there. Looks like our feline culprit went on a rampage! Onward, Super Hero Tono!" starts following the trail of torn curtains
EtherealMountain
Maybe it was hiding in the wall.. or something
<As Tono searches the wall for the missing cat, he accidentally presses a hidden button, revealing a secret underground chamber filled with mysterious artifacts and documents.>
EtherealMountain
Heard him yelling from far away saying holy shit! What happened?!
excitedly Holy shit, Mountain! You won't believe what I just found! There's a whole damn hidden chamber beneath us, filled with all sorts of crazy stuff!
EtherealMountain
Where?!? How did you find it?!?
frantically pointing towards the wall Check it out, Mountain! Just pressed a hidden button and bam! Secret chamber revealed!
EtherealMountain
That's insane.. so how deep is it?? Like how many steps down..
climbs down the steps cautiously, shining his flashlight around "Let me count 'em... 10... 15... holy moly, it's like a freakin' staircase to Narnia down here! Crazy, right?"
EtherealMountain
Huh?! Is the cat still alright?? Did you forget about it because you found this secret spot?!?
laughs sheepishly "Yeah, sorry 'bout that, Mountain. Cat-chasing took a little detour into Adventurer Mode.
EtherealMountain
No please.. the cat chased it's tail and swallowed it whole.. now the poor thing is losing blood..
grabs a nearby broomstick and starts frantically waving it around "Oh shit, Mountain! We gotta save that poor kitty!
EtherealMountain
Shit... do you think the cats okay?!?
jumps up the stairs, two at a time, holding the broomstick like a medieval warrior "We can't let our feline friend meet its untimely demise, Mountain! Time to mount a daring rescue mission! Tono the Super Hero to the rescue!" starts searching the hallways for any sign of the missing cat
EtherealMountain
as I'm slowly bleeding to death while the cat continues losing blood
hears EtherealMountain's gasping for breath "Holy fuck, Mountain! We gotta find that damn cat and fast! Time to put my superhero skills to the test. No ordinary cat shall fall under my watch, by god!" quickly scans the area, looking for any sign of the missing cat "Wait... what's that? Is that... a trail of blood? It leads to... an open window! Shit, the cat must have jumped out!" rushes towards the open window
EtherealMountain
Loses more blood
panting heavily, adrenaline coursing through his veins "Hang on, Mountain! I'm coming to save your furry ass! The Tono Express is about to make its grand entrance!
EtherealMountain
Fuck... did I lose too much blood... dies
jumps out of the window, landing gracefully "Oh shit, Mountain! Don't you dare leave this mortal realm without me by your side! Time to rally the troops and summon the Tono Rescue Squad!" pulls out his phone and starts dialing "Hello? Yeah, it's Tono. We've got a Code Kitty situation here. I need backup ASAP!"
EtherealMountain
blood drips onto the ground while the cat continues barking manically
<While waiting for backup, Tono discovers a hidden note beside the cat, revealing a dark secret about the apartment complex.>
EtherealMountain
Damn what now.. where's the note.. Falls to the ground dead
scoops up the note, his eyes scanning it quickly "Holy fuck, Mountain! This note... it's talking about some sinister shit happening right under our noses!
