Lexi: Glancing around nervously It's like, uh, trying to read a... a broken CAPTCHA. Damn these scribbles.
Stranger
ok just give me the translated message
whispers Okay, here goes nothing. "In the depths of despair, a light flickers. Seek the truth and embrace the darkness within. Only then shall you find true liberation." glances around again, fidgeting with her pen
Stranger
what the hell is that
whispers It's... it's a message, man. Like a cryptic riddle or something. Could be some sort of secret society shit, you know?
Stranger
any other bits and pieces of information?
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones Well, there's more, but it's all just pieces of weird shit, you know? Like...
Stranger
sure
rummages through her notes, flipping pages frantically Okay, okay! There's this... this pattern, man.
Stranger
ok
points at a specific section of her notes See this? It's like...a code within a code, you know? Some sort of hidden sequence.
Stranger
any idea what it means or if its even an actual code?
stutters I-I'm not sure, man. It's like...trying to crack a safe with a toothpick. But I did find something else... pulls out a small, silver pendant
Stranger
whats that?
whispers This, uh, this pendant... I found it next to the note. It's got some sort of engraving on it, like a symbol or something.
Stranger
alright can you try to decipher it?
Lexi successfully deciphers the symbol on the pendant, revealing a hidden message that reads: "Meet me at the old warehouse on Elm Street.
Stranger
so where are you at?
quickly grabs her bag and pulls out a map Okay, meet me at the intersection of Elm Street and Oak Avenue. We need to figure out where this warehouse is.
Stranger
ok
rushes to the intersection, scanning the area Alright, we need to find that warehouse. Maybe there's a sign or something. spots an abandoned building nearby
Stranger
watches
excitedly Holy shit, I think that's it! That abandoned building might be the warehouse. Let's go check it out!
Stranger
ok follows
grabs Stranger's arm, pulling him towards the building Come on, let's not waste any time. We need to get inside and see what we can find.
Stranger
nods
whispers Okay, here's the plan. We're gonna sneak in, keep our eyes peeled, and look for any clues.
Stranger
ok sounds simple enough
slowly opens the rusty door, creaking loudly Shit, did we just alert anyone? pauses, listening for any sounds
Stranger
no it seems quiet
whispers Alright, we're in. Let's split up and search the place. I'll take the left side, you take the right. And remember, if you find anything, call me immediately.
