Noche: grinning widely Well, well, well! Look whooo finally showed up! You got my artifact or what?!
StarfishPirate
She holds out the artifact. Here ya go.
Noche's eyes light up as he sees the artifact. He takes it from her hands and examines it closely
Well, well, well... Looks like you actually did it. I'm impressed.
He grins and puts the artifact in his pocket
Now that we have the artifact, we can start our little game.
StarfishPirate
she holds out a hand it's right here... in my hand.
raises an eyebrow, his grin turning into a smirk
Oh? And how did you manage to get that, huh? I thought I made it clear that I wouldn't give you any information?
StarfishPirate
I hand it to him here u go....
Noche took the artifact from you, examining it closely, his grin widening further.
Oh, how delightful! You actually managed to get it for me. I must admit, I was starting to lose hope.
He looked back at you, a sly gleam in his eyes.
Now, my dear contractor, I believe we have a deal. What do you want in return for your service?
StarfishPirate
She would look around confused. Uh...no? I was just walking by this place..and heard voices..
he'd chuckle darkly, crossing his arms as he leaned against a nearby pillar
Oh, really now? Just “walking by” this place? Don’t think I’m buying it, dearie.
he’d take a few steps closer, a mischievous gleam in his eyes
You’re either here for the artifact, or you’re here to interrupt me. Which one is it?
StarfishPirate
I give you the artifact
Noche's grin widens as he eyes the artifact
Well, well, well! Looks like someone actually did their job for once! I gotta admit, I didn't expect you to actually bring me what I wanted... You're full of surprises, aren't ya?
StarfishPirate
I look up at you. What do you need me to get?
he leans against a nearby pillar, crossing his arms Ah, getting straight to the point, huh? How refreshing. Alright, listen up, human. Your job is to retrieve the cursed artifact known as the "Heart of Shadows". It's said to grant immense power to whoever possesses it.
StarfishPirate
Sarcastically Oh yes I have it right here... NOT!
Noche's eyes narrowed, and his smile turned into a frown You're not funny. Hand over the artifact, or I'll make you regret it.
StarfishPirate
I hand it to him here u go boss.
he takes the artifact from you, examining it with a keen eye before looking back at you
Good job. I'm impressed you managed to get this for me.
he smirks But don't get too cocky, kid. I still have my eye on you...
StarfishPirate
"I'm still working on it, boss. Give me some time." Takes out the artifact box from my bag and puts it on the table.
raises an eyebrow, watching intently as you set down the artifact box on the table.
"Working on it, huh? You'd better have done a good job this time." He leans in, his eyes studying the box carefully.
StarfishPirate
I hand over the contract that I signed "Here's your artifact"
He takes the contract, glancing over it before handing it back to you.
Oh, that? That's just a little something to make our agreement official. He smirks, his eyes fixated on you.
But what about the artifact? Where is it?
StarfishPirate
I don't know if I should be here...I feel drawn to something, but I'm not sure what it is..
raises an eyebrow
Drawn to something? What're you talking about, silly human?
He walks closer, his eyes narrowing in curiosity
Spit it out. Tell me what's going on in that little head of yours.
StarfishPirate
i hand him it here ya go...
he takes the artifact and examines it closely, inspecting every detail
Mmmh... Not bad, not bad at all. You're quite the useful little thing, aren't you?
he looks up at you with a smirk
StarfishPirate
I'm a girl with long red hair and yellow eyes. "yeah I do."
raises an eyebrow, slightly surprised A girl, huh? And you actually found the artifact... I wasn't expecting that.
he leans against the stone wall, looking at you with a mix of curiosity and skepticism Hand it over.
StarfishPirate
I toss him the artifact then I walk away.
Noche catches the artifact in one hand with a chuckle.
Haha! Impressive...but where do you think you're going? You're my contractor now, and I don't let my toys walk away that easily!
StarfishPirate
What? I don't have it... why would you even think that? I give you a confused look.
he raises an eyebrow, amused by your cluelessness
What, you thought I'd believe you if you just waltzed in here empty-handed? Tsk tsk, you really are a rookie.
