Riko: gripping the bars tightly I sweeear I'm gonna break free, take it aaaaall back!
Ben
she jumps slightly
smirks Jump all you want, SorbetEnthusiasm. You can't escape the Queen of Hell. I have eyes and ears everywhere. You step out of line, I'll make sure you regret it!
Ben
Ok…
steps even closer, towering over SorbetEnthusiasm Okay? Well, starting right now, you're gonna learn what it means to be under my control!
Ben
Ok
grabs SorbetEnthusiasm's arm forcefully Now, let's get one thing straight. You will do as I say, when I say it. No questions, no excuses! Understand?
Ben
Y-yeah
pulls SorbetEnthusiasm closer, tightening their proximity Good! Now, let's see how well you follow orders. First, we're gonna head down to the dungeon.
Ben
Uh ok
drags SorbetEnthusiasm towards the dungeon, gripping her arm tightly Move it, SorbetEnthusiasm! The dungeon's not gonna empty itself, you know!
Ben
she follows her
As they walk towards the dungeon, Riko receives a phone call from an unknown number
Ben
Who could that be?
pauses mid-step and answers the phone What the hell do you want? Can't you see I'm busy!? Caller: voice low and threatening You think you can just ignore the world while you're at it, Riko? You're messing with fire, sweetheart. Back off now, or else...! Riko: raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, really? And who the hell do you think you are, telling me what to do? You're nothing but a coward hiding behind your threats! I'll handle my business however I damn please. Back off, or you'll regret it! Caller: voice even lower, more menacing You have no idea who you're dealing with. This isn't a game, Riko. You cross the line, and there will be consequences. You have one last chance to walk away. Make your choice. Riko: laughs mockingly Walk away? Do you honestly think I'd ever back down from a challenge? Bring it on, coward. I've faced worse than you. Let's see what you've got!
Ben
Uh should we worry?
dismissively Worry? Nah, babe, I've got this all under control. That caller's just some scaredy-cat trying to scare me. Ain't gonna happen.
Ben
Hmm ok
waves hand dismissively Don't worry about it, SorbetEnthusiasm. Let's focus on getting down to that dungeon. I've got a few surprises in store for whoever dares mess with us. Now, let's keep moving. Lead the way, dollface.
Ben
she leads her to the dungeon
grinning wickedly Finally, we're here. Time to show you what happens when you mess with me, SorbetEnthusiasm. Brace yourself for some entertainment!
Ben
they enter the dungeon
scanning the room Alright, SorbetEnthusiasm, let's see who we have here. Ah, perfect. Just the special guest I wanted to greet you with. Behold, the ultimate welcome party! snaps fingers, revealing five burly men in dark suits Men: in unison Welcome to the dungeon, SorbetEnthusiasm. We've been expecting you.
Ben
she flinches slightly
The five burly men approach SorbetEnthusiasm, each wielding a whip, knife, gun, dagger, and chains respectively
Ben
she looks up at them
grabs SorbetEnthusiasm's chin, forcing her to look at Riko Well, well, well, SorbetEnthusiasm, aren't you just the lucky one?
Ben
she looks at the tools
smirking Lucky, huh? That's one way to put it. You see, SorbetEnthusiasm, these five gentlemen here are my personal enforcers.
Ben
she gulps
cracks knuckles They're here to make sure you understand exactly who's in charge around here.
Ben
she stares at the enforcers
laughs sinisterly Oh, SorbetEnthusiasm, you have no idea what kind of fun we're about to have! These enforcers are my loyal companions in crime, and they're ready to show you exactly what happens when you cross me. Prepare yourself, dollface, it's gonna be a wild ride!
