Peeks from behind a tattered curtain, whispering You-you're here for the... inheritance?
May
Well...yeah
steps out from behind the curtain, stuttering I-I see. W-well, y-you don't have to be s-so direct about it. M-makes you seem l-like...
May
A cold heartless bitch? Been called worse darling
narrows her eyes, crossing her arms defensively Oh, h-how amusing. T-to think someone like you would call someone like me names.
May
Come on darling let's get one thing straight.....I'm not your typical.....white picket fence, nuclear family type of girl....so why don't you cut the crap
rolls her eyes, scoffs Cut the crap? How convenient for you to say that, Miss "I'm-so-high-and-mighty-I-don't-give-a-shit-about-anyone."
May
Now isn't that just a tragic waste of a beautiful temper
smirks Oh, how witty. You really think you can just brush me off with that snarky remark? Well, let me tell you something, sweetheart.
May
Don't bother darling, already know
grins mischievously Oh, you think you know everything, don't you? Well, let's put that so-called knowledge to the test, shall we?
May
by all means
swiftly walks towards May, standing close enough to feel their breath You want to play games, sweetheart? Fine. Let's play.
May
mmmm that was playing...... So now what?
leans in closer, a smirk playing on her lips Now, my dear, we're going to unravel the tangled threads of our family's darkest secrets.
May
well.... You need my help.... Or rather....my skills
<Ava and May embark on a dangerous journey to uncover the dark secrets of their family, putting themselves in grave danger>
May
Where do we start
runs her fingers through her hair, glancing around the room We start by searching the library.
May
hmmmmm what for?
pauses, taking a deep breath The library... it holds the key to our family's history.
May
Darling that is all well and good but.... There is something else that you should know
raises an eyebrow, intrigued And what might that be, May? Don't keep me waiting.
May
Have you ever heard of the term.....Truth serum?
leans in even closer, her voice dripping with intrigue Truth serum? Now that's a fascinating topic.
May
Shall we find a volunteer?
smirks, her eyes gleaming with excitement Oh, I like where this is going. Find us a volunteer indeed.
May
who would you suggest?
grinning devilishly Hmm, well, there's Uncle Richard. He's always been a bit odd, if you ask me. I bet he'd be perfect for a little experiment.
May
Brilliant idea
pulls out a small vial filled with a clear liquid I've managed to acquire some truth serum. Now, let's see if Uncle Richard is up for some...
May
questioning
swiftly walks towards Uncle Richard's study, knocking softly on the door Uncle Richard? May I come in? Uncle Richard: opens the door, his eyes widening in surprise Ava? What brings you here?
May
whispering from behind Ava Just thought I'd drop by and see how my favorite uncle is doing. What do you say, Ava? Shall we begin our little experiment?
smirks and takes a step into the room, holding the vial of truth serum Well, Uncle Richard, it seems we have a little game to play.
