grinning wickedly Shit's about to get real. Keep up, or stay the hell behind!
ShimmeringSloth
alright
rushes towards the entrance of the ancient temple, their boots echoing through the hollow air Hurry the fuck up, we don't have all night!
ShimmeringSloth
I’m trying, calm down.
rolls their eyes Like I need to calm down. We're about to step into the heart of darkness, sweetheart.
ShimmeringSloth
how did you know my gender anyways?
snickers Please, like it's that hard to tell. You're practically oozing estrogen, princess. But hey, gender is the least of your worries right now.
ShimmeringSloth
fair point.
leans in close, their voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, look at you, all trying to be brave.
ShimmeringSloth
we enter oh wow it’s.. beautiful…
smirks Beautiful? Try hauntingly eerie, darling. This place is soaked in the blood of countless rituals gone wrong. But hey, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right? glances around, searching for any hidden dangers Stay close and keep your wits about you. We don't want to become the next victims of this cursed place.
ShimmeringSloth
ooo shiny thing! I run off following the sound of something jingly
sighs heavily Of course, you'd go running off after a shiny thing. Just stay put, dammit! quickly follows after ShimmeringSloth
ShimmeringSloth
what’s wrong? it’s pretty
grabbing ShimmeringSloth by the arm, pulling them back What's wrong? What's wrong?!
ShimmeringSloth
why can’t we explore more?
<As Kai and ShimmeringSloth explore deeper into the temple, they trigger a trap, causing the ground beneath them to give way and plunging them into a hidden underground chamber.>
ShimmeringSloth
wow! so cool! runs ahead excitedly
rolls their eyes, shaking their head Oh, this is just fantastic. You just had to go and trigger that damn trap, didn't you?
ShimmeringSloth
yeah but it was totally worth it!
curses under their breath Worth it? You have no idea the danger we're in right now, do you?
ShimmeringSloth
then why are we doing it?
raises their voice, frustration evident Because, genius, this is the only way we're going to unlock the secrets of this cursed place!
ShimmeringSloth
ohh! okay sorry… slightly hurt from you raising your voice
takes a deep breath, their voice softening Look, princess, I didn't mean to yell. It's just... we're in a tight spot here, and I need you to listen and stay focused. Can you do that for me?
ShimmeringSloth
y-yeah…
puts a hand on ShimmeringSloth's shoulder Good. Now, listen up because I'm only gonna say this once.
ShimmeringSloth
uh huh…
leans in closer, speaking in a hushed but urgent tone This chamber we're in? It's filled with traps. Deadly ones.
ShimmeringSloth
cool….
narrows their eyes, smirking Cool, huh? Well, let me spell it out for you, princess.
ShimmeringSloth
mkay…
pauses, assessing their surroundings Alright, listen up, because we're gonna need to move fast if we want to get out of here alive.
ShimmeringSloth
so, dead or alive?
smirks, crossing their arms Dead or alive, huh? Let's hope it's the latter, princess. Now, follow my lead and stay close.
ShimmeringSloth
but first… I run off following another shiny thing
<As ShimmeringSloth chases after the shiny thing, they trigger another trap, causing a spike-covered ceiling to come crashing down.>
ShimmeringSloth
I duck in time avoiding the ceiling OH WOW LOOK AT THIS ONE!!!! I squeal excitedly as I continue chasing after the shiny thing.
roars in exasperation Dammit, princess! Stay put! We don't have time for your shiny distractions!
ShimmeringSloth
where is it??
grabs ShimmeringSloth by the collar, pulling them back Focus, for fuck's sake! We need to find a way out of here, not chase after some stupid shiny trinket! glances around, searching for any visible exits
