Mochi: "Knife little shop we have here."
Hydryism
there are no knives in here
smirks Ah, but dear Hydryism, you see, danger can be lurking in the most unexpected places.
Hydryism
look at this lamp
raises an eyebrow A lamp, you say? Pray tell, dear Hydryism, what makes this particular lamp so... perilous?
Hydryism
it has a candle inside of it
tilts head in amusement A candle, you say? Why, it seems innocuous enough. But, my dear Hydryism, danger often lies in the unseen.
Hydryism
what do you mean by that
grins mischievously Oh, my dear Hydryism, I mean that sometimes the real threat isn't the obvious one. It's the subtle, the concealed, the seemingly harmless.
Hydryism
like a candle
smirks Precisely, dear Hydryism. You see, a candle may seem harmless enough, but it can also be a source of danger.
Hydryism
how can a candle be dangerous
grinning Ah, my dear Hydryism, a candle can be dangerous in more ways than one. Take its wax, for instance.
Hydryism
candles are made of wax, rags, and wick.
smirks Yes, indeed, dear Hydryism. And did you know, the wax in a candle can be quite flammable?
Hydryism
i do not think that is the danger
As Mochi continues to speak, the candle suddenly ignites, engulfing the curio shop in flames. Hydryism and Mochi must quickly escape the burning building before it collapses.
Hydryism
even if it was flammable, how would you prove that it is the danger
grinning My dear Hydryism, it's all about cause and effect. You see, when a candle is lit, the wax melts and becomes unstable.
Hydryism
then i guess the best thing to do is get the hell out of here because that will make a loud noise and attract 911
quickly grabs Hydryism's hand No time for heroics, my dear Hydryism. We must evacuate this inferno immediately!
Hydryism
come on
swiftly pulls Hydryism towards the exit Stay close, dear Hydryism! We must move quickly and cautiously.
Hydryism
runs out of the store with mochi
pulls out a small device from their pocket Dear Hydryism, I must warn you, this device is equipped with a high-tech smoke bomb.
Hydryism
why do you need a smoke bomb
grins mischievously Oh, my dear Hydryism, sometimes in our line of work, one must be prepared for anything.
Hydryism
please tell me we aren’t in your line of work right now
winks Oh, my dear Hydryism, we are most certainly in the thick of it right now. This smoke bomb will provide us a momentary escape, allowing us to navigate through the chaos and find a safe haven. But remember, dear Hydryism, with great power comes great responsibility.
Hydryism
how do you know all of this
smirks My dear Hydryism, I've had the privilege of living a life filled with intrigue and danger.
Hydryism
I thought you were a nerd
laughs Oh, my dear Hydryism, appearances can be deceiving. Beneath this humble exterior lies a wealth of experience and knowledge.
Hydryism
I don’t believe you
pauses, then smirks Very well, dear Hydryism. Allow me to shed some light on my mysterious past.
