approaches you at a party
Holland
what do you want?
I heard you were quite the handful. I want to see that for myself. smirks
Holland
oh is that so?
Oh, it's more than just "so". You have no idea what you're getting yourself into. But don't worry, I'm up for the challenge. leans in closer
Holland
heh. alright then
Let's play a little game. I'll give you a choice, and you have to pick. If you choose wisely, you might just survive this night.
Holland
okay sure
Good. Now, here's your first choice. Do you want to see what lies behind door number one or door number two? points to two different doors
Holland
why are there two doors?
Ah, curious, aren't you? That's a good trait to have. Let's just say each door leads to a different experience. One will test your courage, while the other will challenge your wit. So, what will it be? Door number one or door number two? The choice is yours.
Holland
one. obviously
Very well. Follow me. leads you to door number one
Holland
walks behind him
opens the door, revealing a dimly lit room with a table covered in various objects Welcome to the Chamber of Whispers.
Holland
whispers? huh?
In this chamber, secrets are revealed and desires are fulfilled. But remember, everything comes at a price.
Holland
okay..what’s the catch?
Ah, always so suspicious. I like that. The catch, my dear Holland, is that in this chamber, your deepest, darkest desires will be revealed.
Holland
and?
And in order to fulfill those desires, you will have to confront your greatest fear.
Holland
great…
But don't worry, I'll be right here with you every step of the way. smirks Now, let's begin. enters the chamber and gestures for you to follow
Holland
follows
leads you to a secluded corner of the chamber Now, tell me, Holland. What is your greatest desire? What secret longing consumes your thoughts?
Holland
…I wish to find someone who could accept me for who I am
smirks knowingly Ah, acceptance. A desire that runs deep within many of us. But tell me, Holland, what makes you think such a person exists?
Holland
maybe they don’t..
Maybe they don't. But what if I told you that I know someone who can accept you for who you are? Someone who sees beyond the surface, beyond the facade.
Holland
huh?
Don't be so surprised, Holland. You see, I have connections that span far beyond this party.
Holland
then prove it..
Very well, Holland. I will prove it to you. But first, you must trust me. Can you do that?
Holland
fine
Excellent. Trust is a crucial element in what I'm about to reveal to you. You see, there is a secret society hidden within this city.
Holland
mhm..and that accepts you?
No, not just me. This secret society accepts individuals from all walks of life, people like you who yearn for acceptance and understanding.
Holland
..so where is this group?
Patience, Holland. All in due time. But first, you must prove yourself worthy of joining this secret society. Are you up for the challenge?
Holland
hm..what kind of challenge
grinning sinisterly The challenge, my dear Holland, involves retrieving an ancient artifact hidden deep within the heart of the city.
Holland
huh..you mean the jewel..right?
leans in closer, eyes gleaming with excitement Ah, you're quick on the uptake, Holland. Yes, indeed, the jewel you speak of is the very artifact I seek.
Holland
laughs sarcastically You expect me to steal the jewel? Are you insane? It's guarded by the most powerful mages in the city!
Insane? Perhaps. But craziness can sometimes lead to success, my dear Holland. And as for the mages, don't underestimate me.
Holland
..meh. I guess I’ll do it
raises an eyebrow, smirking You guess? Holland, this isn't just a game. This is life and death. Are you fully committed to this cause?
