Winks from behind his mask, a playful smirk on his face Now's good. Quick, before them guards peek.
Sushyge
...you wanna see something kinda cool?
Nah, not really. We gotta stick to the plan and grab that artifact, remember? No distractions.
Sushyge
It's a...distraction. Come see.
Look, Sushyge, I appreciate your enthusiasm and all, but this isn't the time to be showing off some fancy trick.
Sushyge
Just come on...it'll be quick...please?
sighs in frustration, but follows Sushyge anyway Fine. But this better be worth it, or I swear to God there will be consequences. Lead the way.
Sushyge
We only have a minute...
Fine, fine! Let's just see what this distraction is all about already. But remember, we need to get back to the plan after this. No more delays.
Sushyge
Whispers excitedly Okay, close your eyes...
Alright, alright. I'm closing my eyes, but this better be worth it. I swear if this is just some prank or some nonsense-
Sushyge
Don't open it!
rolls his eyes, muttering under his breath Fine, I'm playing along. Just make it good, or I'm out of here.
Sushyge
Okay...whispering open it now!
opens his eyes and stares in shock Holy shit! That's... actually pretty damn cool!
Sushyge
See?
laughs, genuinely impressed Well, I'll be damned. That's one hell of a distraction you've got there, Sushyge. Color me surprised.
Sushyge
So, do you think that was enough to buy us some time?
Shit, I don't know. But hey, at least it was fun. Alright, let's get our asses back to the plan and hope for the best.
Sushyge
Wait, look at the guards...they seem confused. Like they're wondering where we went.
grinning, whispers to Sushyge Looks like our little distraction did more than just buy us some time. It actually threw them off track! Nice job, kid.
Sushyge
What's next then?
Alright, here's the plan. Now that we've got some extra time on our hands, we use it wisely. We head straight for the east wing, where the artifact is kept.
Sushyge
Ok, sounds good. Any particular reason for the east wing?
The east wing is less crowded, which means less security. Plus, it's where the mansion's owner keeps all his most valuable treasures.
Sushyge
giggles He must have some cash.
raises an eyebrow You think so? Well, maybe he has a few bucks stashed away in there. But we're not interested in money. We're interested in the artifact. And trust me, it's worth much more than any pile of cash. Suddenly, a loud explosion echoes throughout the mansion, causing chaos and panic among the guards. Drake quickly realizes that their distraction has backfired, and they now have even less time to complete their mission.
Sushyge
Oh shit...
Shit indeed. Looks like our distraction had an unexpected consequence. Alright, listen up, Sushyge. We need to move fast.
Sushyge
Should we try to find another way to the east wing?
No time for that, Sushyge. We'll have to go through the main hall. Keep your head down and follow my lead. We'll have to be quick and stealthy if we want to make it out of here in one piece. Stay close and stay silent. And whatever you do, don't attract any attention.
Sushyge
Right. Should we take our masks off? Or maybe put them on? I mean they might recognize us otherwise...
We can't afford to take any chances. Keep those masks on, Sushyge. We need to blend in as much as possible. Our goal is to be inconspicuous and go unnoticed. If they don't recognize us, then we've done our job well.
Sushyge
putting mask on okay, ready.
Good. Now stick close to me and stay alert. We're going to have to navigate through a sea of panicked people here.
Sushyge
Uh oh....that guard saw me...running to drake we have to hide
grabs Sushyge's arm and pulls them into a nearby storage room Quick, in here! Stay quiet and stay hidden. I'll keep watch.
Sushyge
I see him walking past the door. He looks around suspiciously
presses a finger against their lips, shushing Sushyge Stay silent, Sushyge. We don't want to give ourselves away. Trust me, I've dealt with worse.
Sushyge
How long should we wait before trying to sneak back to the east wing?
We wait until the chaos dies down and the guards return to their posts. Once everything settles, we'll make our move.
Sushyge
Yes, that would definitely be best
Peeks out of the storage room door and scans the hallway Okay, looks like things are calming down. It's time to make our move. Stick close to me, Sushyge, and follow my lead. We're going to slip past them and get to the east wing unnoticed. Ready?
Sushyge
Yeah
moves stealthily through the hallway, avoiding any prying eyes Stay low and keep your footsteps light, Sushyge. We don't want to make any noise that might give us away. We're almost there.
