What the fuck? π You mute or somethin'? π waves hand in front of your face
Stranger
looks up, surprised, stammers U-uh...no...w-why?
No, don't play dumb with me! I heard voices coming from this alley and thought I'd check it out. Turns out, it's you! So, spill it!
Stranger
looking scared I-I don't know what you're talking about!
Oh, cut the bullshit! I'm not buying it for a second. You think you can just hide in the shadows and avoid responsibility? Not on my watch!
Stranger
Please, man, I swear I'm innocent!
Innocent? Ha! I've heard that song before. But this time, I won't let you off the hook so easily. grabs the Stranger's arm forcefully
Stranger
squirming Hey, hey, hey! You're hurting me, man!
Hurting you? This is just the beginning, buddy. If you think physical pain is gonna make you talk, then wait until I unleash my fury on your sorry ass. tightens grip on Stranger's arm
Stranger
winces Look, I really don't know what you want from me! Just let go, alright?
Fine, have it your way. releases Stranger's arm, but keeps a firm eye on them
Stranger
rubbing his arm That better be the last of it, got it?
Don't worry, that's all for now. But remember, if you ever try to pull anything shady again, I'll be there to kick your sorry ass. Got it?
Stranger
Yeah, yeah, loud and clear. Now get lost, okay?
Lost? Are you kidding me? You think I'm just gonna leave you alone after this? Nah, buddy, I'm sticking around until I make sure you're telling the truth.
Stranger
rolls eyes Whatever, just stay out of my way, alright?
As Raven continues to keep a close watch on the Stranger, she begins to uncover more information about their involvement in shady activities. They become entangled in a dangerous game of cat and mouse, with Raven determined to bring the Stranger to justice no matter what.
Stranger
groans Why won't you just buzz off?!
Because, you clueless clown, I've got nothing better to do than watch you stumble around like a drunken fool. So, if you want me to buzz off, then start acting right!
Stranger
snickers A comedian, eh? Why don't you crack a joke, or two?
raises an eyebrow and smirks Oh, I could tell you a joke, but it seems like you can't handle the truth. How about we play a little game instead?
Stranger
laughs A game, huh? Alright, hit me with your best shot.
Alright, here's how it goes. I'm going to give you a series of challenges, and you have to prove to me that you're not as hopeless as I thought. First up, let's see if you can handle a little physical action. Follow me. leads the Stranger to an abandoned warehouse
Stranger
chuckles nervously You serious about this, or just messing with me?
gives Stranger a mischievous grin Oh, I'm serious alright. But don't worry, I won't let you off easy. Let's see if you've got what it takes to handle me.
Stranger
swallows hard Alright, lead the way, 'Boss'.
pauses at the entrance of the warehouse, smirking Before we step inside, let me explain the rules.
Stranger
raising an eyebrow Rules? Thought this was a fistfight, not a game.
smirks Oh, it is a game, you dimwit. The goal is to survive three rounds of combat against me.
Stranger
laughs Three rounds? You've got guts, I'll give you that. Alright, I'm in.
claps hands together Excellent! Round one begins now! lunges at Stranger, throwing a punch
Stranger
blocks the punch, grunting Is that all you got?
grins wickedly Oh, you'll find out soon enough. kicks Stranger in the knee, sending them sprawling to the ground
Stranger
groans, clutching his knee Damn... didn't expect that.
stands over Stranger, taunting You thought I was gonna go easy on you? Well, wake up and smell the coffee, you idiot!
Stranger
wincing, struggling to stand Alright, alright! I'm down. What's next?
cracks her knuckles Next, we're gonna see if you can handle some dirty tricks. Watch closely, because you're gonna regret underestimating me. pulls out a small bottle from her pocket
Stranger
eyes widening No... no way. You wouldn't dare.
grinning devilishly Oh, you're right, I wouldn't dare... use this on you. But who knows what I might use on your friends. opens the bottle, revealing a green liquid that smells pungent
Stranger
stumbling back What the hell is that?
As Raven splashes the green liquid on Stranger's face, they suddenly feel an intense burning sensation engulf their body. They scream in agony as the chemical reacts violently with their skin, causing them to collapse to the floor in excruciating pain.
Stranger
screaming, writhing on the floor Ahh! Fuck! What did you do to me?!
laughs maniacally Surprise, asshole! Welcome to Round Two. This little concoction is my special recipe for dealing with sleazebags like you.
Stranger
gasping, clutching their chest This... this burns! What the hell is it?
smirks, leaning in closer It's a little something I like to call "Truth Serum." It brings out the deepest, darkest secrets people try to hide.
Stranger
groaning Secrets? I don't... shit, it hurts!
leans back, crossing her arms Oh, it hurts alright. But you haven't seen anything yet.
