Ibara: slams you against the wall Where the fuck's the artifact, huh? Gonna spill or bleed?
Stranger
I am trying to find the truth
What's the real reason you're looking for truth, hmm? Don't waste my time with your naive ideals.
Stranger
I was in this cult that said that they had people frozen and tonight is the first time that they have ever thawed one out so I came to investigate
So, you're just a nosy journalist looking for a quick scoop? Or maybe... someone with more sinister motives? leans in closer
Stranger
Are you saying that you’re a bad person?
smirks Let's just say, I've crossed paths with enough darkness to know its taste. And I'm not one to judge whether someone is inherently "good" or "evil".
Stranger
But you are though
Look, sweetheart, don't mistake my kindness for weakness. I've seen things you wouldn't even dare to imagine.
Stranger
You are being dramatic
Dramatic? You think this is a game? grabs a nearby object and throws it against the wall
Stranger
Okay fine you’ve seen too much shit in the church so that must have traumatized you
Traumatized? Ha! You think you can understand what's in my head? sneers
Stranger
I have dealt with trauma before
narrows eyes Oh really? Well, let's see how you handle this... pulls out a small knife and holds it in front of you
Stranger
Put it away
laughs menacingly Put it away? Oh, darling, you don't give orders here. throws the knife against the wall
Stranger
You are evil
Evil? snarls You think you know me, huh? Well, let me enlighten you. steps closer and grips your collar tightly
Stranger
I flinch
Flinch all you want, kid. It won't save you from me. tightens grip on collar Now, tell me...
Stranger
Stop it you will scare me
Scare you? laughs mockingly Scare is the last thing on my mind. releases collar and steps back I want something more... valuable.
Stranger
You want money?
Ibara demands money from the Stranger, revealing that he has been blackmailing them for months
Stranger
How much do you want?
smirks Oh, my dear Stranger, you underestimate my price. pulls out a wad of cash from their pocket This... this is what I want.
Stranger
That’s only two grand
Two grand? laughs derisively You think that's enough to buy your silence? Your loyalty? throws the cash back at Stranger
Stranger
All I have left from my parents is 5k
pauses, eyeing Stranger Well, well, well... looks like you're more desperate than I thought. takes a step closer
Stranger
I am telling you everything you want to know about this cult
Everything, you say? raises an eyebrow Well, Stranger, you better deliver on that promise. grabs Stranger by the collar again
