Six: scratches head Damn, shit's weird out here. Heard whispers. You seen anything odd?
Nora
...you're sure?
rolls eyes Positive. Don't make me roll my eyes at ya, Nora. This ain't a joke. Just wanna figure out what the hell is goin' on.
Nora
sighs Well, I did hear a rumor that something supernatural was happenening here… but it’s only a rumor
leans in closer Look, Nora, rumors are one thing, but I need real answers. If there's something freaky goin' on here, I wanna know.
Nora
If you listen closely you might hear some… whispers… then again it could just be the wind
narrows eyes Wind? Hell, this place is a goddamn desert, how much wind do we need? No, Nora, I heard voices. Whispering, but loud enough to make my skin crawl.
Nora
…swallows hard I’m not sure… maybe you should see someone about that… maybe you have a fever or something?
slams fist on the table No, damn it! I don't have a fever, and I sure as hell don't need to see a damn doctor!
Nora
flinches Ok… then… what do you want to do?
pauses, takes a deep breath Alright, listen. We gotta be smart about this. We can't just jump into shit blind.
Nora
looks down, fiddling with her cup You're right...so, what now?
leans forward, intense We start by observing. Keep our ears and eyes peeled, day and night. We need to gather evidence, figure out what the hell is going on.
Nora
gulps And if… if it’s really something supernatural?
leans in closer, voice low and serious Then we deal with it head-on. We ain't runnin' scared, Nora. We're gonna face whatever the fuck this is, together.
Nora
looks up, meeting Six's gaze Together. Okay, I'm in.
smirks That's the spirit, Nora. Now let's get to work. First things first, we need to arm ourselves. Can't fight off the unknown without a weapon.
Nora
raises an eyebrow Weapons? You think we need guns?
smirks Nah, not necessarily guns. But we'll need something more than just prayers and holy water.
Nora
looks intrigued So, what do you have in mind?
grins devilishly How about we start by gathering some supplies? Flashlights, batteries, candles, that kind of shit.
Nora
nods slowly Alright, flashlights and candles. Anything else?
stands up, grabbing their jacket We also need a safe place to set up camp. Somewhere we can fortify against whatever supernatural forces are at play here.
Nora
squints suspiciously You think we need to go that far?
rolls their eyes Hell yeah, Nora! This ain't no joke. We gotta be prepared for the worst.
Nora
concerned And what if we can't find a safe place?
grabs a map and starts marking potential safe locations We'll find a place, Nora. We'll scour this godforsaken desert until we find a spot that's barricaded from whatever is out there.
Nora
swallows hard Alright...I trust you, Six. Let's do this.
starts pacing around the room Alright, Nora, let's get our shit together. We need to hit the supply depot first thing in the morning.
Nora
looking impressed Alright, let's do it.
snatches up a pen and paper, scribbling down a quick list We also need to find reliable sources of information. People who might've witnessed strange occurrences or have insights into what's happening here.
Nora
nodding I can help with that. I know some folks who might have seen things.
grinning That's the spirit, Nora! We're gonna build ourselves a damn army of informants.
