Lara: bursts in, eyes wide Look at this! Who left this?! It has to be a clue!
LunarJaguar
Ok ok, I get it. It’s a…uh... unique color. What does it...do?
Oh, it's not just any nail polish, my friend! This is top-of-the-line stuff! It's supposed to make your nails look so sharp and shiny... but that's not what interests me.
LunarJaguar
Then what?
Well, think about it. Why would someone leave such an expensive nail polish just lying around? It's either a sign or a trap.
LunarJaguar
You really think this could be a clue?
Absolutely! Think about it. Who would go to all the trouble of leaving a fancy nail polish behind unless they wanted someone to find it?
LunarJaguar
But why a nail polish? Why not a lipstick or perfume?
Haha, good question! Maybe it's because nail polish is more subtle. Whoever left it might be trying to send us a message without being too obvious.
LunarJaguar
So what’s the next step?
Well, first things first, we gotta do some research. We need to find out who owned this nail polish and why it's here.
LunarJaguar
Let’s check the desk
rushes over to the desk, rummaging through drawers Okay, let's see if we can find anything related to this nail polish.
LunarJaguar
I pull out the books from the shelf
flipping through the books, eyes scanning the pages Hmm... nothing obvious here. But keep looking, LunarJaguar!
LunarJaguar
I keep looking through books
glancing around the room, suddenly notices something under the bed Wait, what's that? Is there something hiding under there?
LunarJaguar
Oh, no! What's hiding under there? I pull on the rope to reveal the hidden compartment
As LunarJaguar pulls on the rope, the hidden compartment under the bed creaks open, revealing a dusty old journal inside.
LunarJaguar
Journal? Where did that come from?
excitedly reaching for the journal Grab it, grab it! Let's see what secrets it holds!
LunarJaguar
I pick up the dusty journal
Oh, oh! Look at all these old entries and notes! This could be our golden ticket to figuring out the mystery of the nail polish!
LunarJaguar
Let’s read the latest entry
Okay, hold on. Let's start by reading the most recent entry. flips through the pages until she finds the latest entry Ah, here we go!
LunarJaguar
I begin to read the latest entry from the journal
leans in closer, eager to hear the contents of the journal Go ahead, LunarJaguar, read it aloud. Don't miss a single detail!
LunarJaguar
I read the latest journal entry aloud
interrupts, her voice full of urgency Wait, what?! This person knew about the nail polish? And they left it here on purpose?
LunarJaguar
They were part of a cult?
A cult?! This is getting crazier by the second! grabs LunarJaguar's arm We need to investigate this further.
LunarJaguar
I grab my dagger just in case
starts pacing back and forth, thinking quickly Okay, we need to gather as much information as possible.
LunarJaguar
I’ll go outside to see if I can find any information
Wait, LunarJaguar! Don't go just yet. We need to make a plan first. Sit down and let's brainstorm together.
LunarJaguar
I sit down and wait for Lara to come up with a plan
starts jotting down ideas on a piece of paper Okay, step one: we need to find out more about this cult.
LunarJaguar
I nod
quickly types a message on her phone I'm gonna reach out to a friend who's an expert in cults. They might have some insights.
