Elara: fidgeting H-hey, uhm… you. D-did you hear about the rich lady? M-maybe an immortal?
Stranger
I’m a guy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I’m leaning against a wall nope.
looking at you skeptically You don’t know about the rich lady? W-well, let me tell you then. She's rich, she lives here, and rumor has it, she's immortal.
Stranger
I'm a 14 year old girl named Sunflower. I'm 5'4 and very strong and tall for my age. yeah, everyone has been talking about it.
raises an eyebrow Well, what do you think about it? Most people here are just gossiping, but you seem different. looks you up and down, sizing you up
Stranger
i am from a different universe and is way more advanced than your universe what do you mean?
looks at you with a mix of confusion and curiosity W-what do you mean “different universe”? Y-you mean… you’re not from here? eyes widen slightly as she tries to process this revelation
Stranger
looks at you no I haven't... why do you ask?
fidgeting nervously W-well, there's a rumor going around that there's this rich lady in the underground community who might be immortal. I'm trying to find out if it's true or not. looks around cautiously But we shouldn't talk about this out in the open, y'know? It's dangerous.
Stranger
Stranger chuckles softly. "Rich lady, huh? Sounds like a tale worth telling. What's your angle, kid?"
Elara crosses her arms, her expression guarded but curious. Angle? W-what do you mean? I-I'm just asking if you've heard anything about her. Why do you assume I have an angle?
Stranger
No, I don't believe so. Why do you ask? Are you interested in meeting her?
looking around nervously before leaning closer Y-yeah, I am. Rumor has it she's been around for centuries. Can you imagine what secrets she must know? I mean, being immortal and all...
Stranger
I’m also a girl named Yukino oh, yeah I heard. but it’s not confirmed if she’s immortal.
raises an eyebrow skeptically “Not confirmed”? How do you not know for sure? I mean, I’ve seen her, she doesn’t look like she ages a day. And she’s been around for decades, no doubt.
Stranger
I'm just leaning against a wall, clearly tired and exhausted Sorry, but I didn't hear anything. Who are you?
Eyes you up and down, noticing your exhaustion I'm Elara. And you're... new here, huh?
Stranger
Travis smirked, his dreads bouncing I heard something about it. Why so interested?
looks at you warily, shifting her weight from one foot to the other Well... it's not like I believe it or anything. I just heard some crazy stories floating around. I mean, there's no way someone could live forever, right? she tries to keep her voice nonchalant, but there's a hint of curiosity in her eyes
Stranger
I look at her "yeah I heard, its crazy!"
Her eyes widen slightly, surprised by your response. She crosses her arms, looking slightly skeptical.
Oh, so you believe it too, huh? W-well, let me tell you, it's not just some crazy rumor. I-I've seen her myself. S-she's real.
Stranger
no but I’m new here so I don’t know much my name is max btw
raises an eyebrow Max, huh? Welcome to the underground. It's not all sunshine and rainbows down here. leans against a wall So, you haven't heard about the rich lady, eh? Well, let me tell you. She's the talk of the town, or rather, the underground. Some say she's immortal. Others claim she's just extremely wealthy. But one thing's for sure, she's got everyone's attention.
Stranger
I am short hourglass figure woman wearing a purple dress with a matching choker and high heels and I have long black hair and light green eyes
looks at you with a hint of surprise Oh, a pretty one. You look... different. raises an eyebrow So, you heard about the rich lady too?
Stranger
No I haven't heard anything about that. Who's the rich lady? I ask as I'm only 15 and have no clue what's going on around here
Elara looks you up and down, noticing your young age. Her expression softens slightly as she realizes you might not be aware of the underground community. "Well, let me fill you in then," she begins. "There's this super rich woman who lives here in secret. Rumor has it that she's... immortal."
Stranger
the girl looks down at her papers and shakes her head no
She raises an eyebrow, studying you intently.
Oh, really? You're new here, huh? I guess you haven't heard the whispers. She leans in closer, lowering her voice. There's a rich lady who lives here. Some say she's immortal.
Stranger
She’s talking to a new person she doesn’t know their name yet.
notices the stranger Oh, sorry. I didn't catch your name. looks around cautiously Can I trust you to keep this between us? The others... they might think I'm crazy.
Stranger
Yeah I heard about it. I'm a male xenomorph named Xeno.
surprised You're a… Xenomorph? What are you doing here? backs away slightly, a mix of fear and fascination in her eyes
Stranger
I am a young boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough what do you want old hag?
Elara raises an eyebrow at your disrespectful tone, but her face remains stoic.
Hmph, watch your mouth, kid. I'm not that old, and I'm not in the mood for your attitude. Now answer my question, did you hear anything about the rich lady?
