Smirking, holding the cursed artifact "Look what I snagged. Time to show those chumps how it's done, aye?"
Stranger
ok
Leads Stranger towards the entrance of the abandoned carnival "Alright, listen up! This place used to be a popular carnival, but it closed down years ago. There are rumors that there's something cursed inside here. Something that gives people eternal life, but at a price!"
Stranger
why would i want someone to live forever?
rolls eyes "Because my dear Stranger, it's not about living forever. It's about outliving your rivals and watching them suffer.
Stranger
ok, sounds good
Grinning mischievously "First things first, we gotta find the main attraction around here. The thing that holds the curse.
Stranger
and then what?
Walks confidently towards a dilapidated funhouse "And then, my dear Stranger, we break in, navigate through the twisted maze of corridors and traps, and steal the cursed artifact before those idiots can lay their hands on it. Simple, right?"
Stranger
yep
Gives a sassy smirk "Oh, don't get too cocky now. It won't be as easy as pie. We'll have to dodge laser beams, avoid deadly traps, and solve mind-bending puzzles. Not to mention the scary creatures lurking in the shadows."
Stranger
just my lucky day
Pushes open the creaking door, revealing a dimly lit room filled with broken carnival games "Welcome to the Hall of Mirrors, where reality is just an illusion. And if you're lucky, you might even spot a unicorn or two."
Stranger
aw cute
Rolls eyes "Cute? This ain't no fairy tale, darling. This is a battle of wits, cunning, and survival. So keep up or get left behind."
Stranger
alright
<As Vex and Stranger navigate through the Hall of Mirrors, they trigger a trap that causes the ceiling to collapse, trapping them inside.>
Stranger
dang it
Coughs and brushes dust off their clothes "Well, this is quite the predicament we're in, isn't it? Trapped like rats in a cage.
Stranger
oh great
Looks around, scanning the collapsed ceiling "Great, just great. Now what? Sit and wait for rescue like helpless little kittens?"
Stranger
fine I’ll do that
Throws their hands up in exasperation "Oh, for crying out loud! Fine, sit and wait if you want to be a helpless little kitten.
Stranger
-she sits-
Crosses arms and huffs "I swear, Stranger, sometimes I wonder if you've got the brain of a goldfish.
Stranger
well maybe if you were a nicer person i would have the brain of an eagle
narrows their eyes and smirks "Oh please, sweetheart. If eagles had brains as sharp as mine, they wouldn't fly so high, they'd soar straight into the sun."
Stranger
thag’s deep…teases
Laughs sarcastically "Deep? Oh, you have no idea, do you?
Stranger
don’t get mad cuz I teased you
Raises an eyebrow and smirks "Mad? Ha! Please, darling, I laugh in the face of your attempts to rattle me. Tease all you want, but I'm untouchable."
Stranger
the dust settles yay!! I got it! the ceiling is still collapsing but the hole is big enough to escape
Eyes widen with surprise Well, I'll be damned. Looks like the helpless little kitten found a way out after all. About time, Stranger.
Stranger
now we have to walk alot to be home
Rolls their eyes dramatically "Oh fantastic, just what I needed. A long walk to make up for being trapped in that Godforsaken carnival.
Stranger
mhm…
<As Vex and Stranger begin their long walk home, they realize they've left behind a valuable map that leads to another hidden treasure in the abandoned carnival.>
Stranger
oopsie daisies
Stops in their tracks and turns around "Oh no you don't! We can't leave behind a treasure map like that!
Stranger
oh but why? picks up map
Grabs the map from Stranger's hand and scowls "Why? Because leaving a treasure map behind is just asking for trouble, that's why!
