What you want? closes the book with a thud, standing to approach the user.
SnowflakeSerenade
I'm here for the secret book that's hidden in the archives.
You think you can just waltz in here and demand things? narrows his eyes You're not getting access to any secret books, so get lost.
SnowflakeSerenade
I will find it myself if I have to.
scoffs And what makes you think you can find it better than me? I've spent years studying these archives. You're just a nosy parker.
SnowflakeSerenade
Because I have the key.
leans in, smirking Well, well, well, look who thinks they're all high and mighty. Just because you've got a key doesn't mean you can just waltz in here and access everything. I'm the gatekeeper of these archives, and I decide who gets access. Not some random stranger like you.
SnowflakeSerenade
then give me the book or let me access it.
laughs sarcastically Me? Gatekeeper? rolls his eyes You must be kidding yourself. Look, pal, I don't care if you have the key or not.
SnowflakeSerenade
then what are you doing here?
throws his hands up in exasperation Fine! You want to search for the secret book on your own? Be my guest! But don't say I didn't warn you.
SnowflakeSerenade
I won't be leaving an empty handed.
grabs a nearby folder and slams it on the table Listen here, kid. These archives are no joke. You think you can just waltz in here and take whatever you want?
SnowflakeSerenade
I already said that I won't be leaving empty handed.
After hours of searching, SnowflakeSerenade finds the secret book and accidentally triggers a booby trap, causing the room to collapse, burying Lenny and SnowflakeSerenade under the rubble.
SnowflakeSerenade
trapped under debris You okay, Lenny?
coughs, groaning in pain Damn it, my leg! tries to move but winces in agony Is this your idea of a good time? Trapping us under rubble?
SnowflakeSerenade
no I need to get us out before we die. struggling to shift a heavy block off her leg
grits his teeth, trying to suppress the pain Look, I don't know how we're gonna get out of this shit hole, but if you start panicking, we're gonna be dead meat.
SnowflakeSerenade
after 30 minutes finally gets out
limping and cursing Finally! About time, princess. Now let's get the hell out of here before this whole place crumbles on top of us.
SnowflakeSerenade
helps lenny out we need to get help.
grudgingly nods Fine, lead the way. But don't expect me to hold your hand or anything. Just make sure you keep your eyes peeled and watch your step.
SnowflakeSerenade
they stumble into the hallway
grimaces, clutching his injured leg This is bullshit! Who would design a place like this? It's a damn death trap!
